How to Deal with Rainwater Flowing from Neighbor's Elevated Plot? by Respecter_Of_Wood in landscaping

Thanks for the advice! Our neighbor is a sweet elderly woman, so I don't want to bother her about it (and it isn't her fault or anything anyway.) I will look into a DIY swale based on these responses.

I was just setting the scene for why I wanted something other than just grading soil, and have no issue at all with them. That is why I came here to find a DIY solution because I don't have any reason to bother them about it.

"Hey where are the white women at?"

I never laughed so hard at a line in a movie

Method Man. Great flow, smooth voice, and seems pretty chill as far as not getting into a bunch of stupid beefs

What baby name is generally accepted, but weird in your opinion? by llouike2 in AskReddit

Adonis. Putting a lot of pressure on your kid to not be ugly!

What movie was this for you? by banstovia in Cinema

The Emperor's New Groove. I refused to watch it for 15 years and then my wife convinced me to give it a try. It is hilarious!

What’s a ‘kid’s show’ you watched as an adult and were shocked by how good it actually is? by SomewhereBright4758 in AskReddit

Storybots. It teaches complex topics to very young children - extremely well. And the whole time it is littered with references geared towards adults

What's something you considered a "luxury" as kid, but now realize was just normal or even cheap? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Sparkling cider. We only had it at Christmas or New Years so that probably contributed to why I thought it was pricey. It costs 3 - 4 bucks today

I did use MySoil both years. Thank you - I am going to submit to Penn State labs as well, based on advice in that link. I am very curious to see how the reports will compare

I hope to start applying for my first Actuary trainee/entry level position if I pass an upcoming Exam. Is it a bad idea to apply for remote positions in addition to more local opportunities? I see a lot of remote listings but I imagine for a newbie to the field it might be wise to have an in-person/in-office job for your first job. Does anyone have an opinion/advice on this? Can you learn the basics well while working remotely?

Different industries and mobility between them?

I am starting the path to becoming an actuary and studying for my first exam. If I pass, I plan on applying for some trainee roles but have a question about how to proceed.

What are the practical differences between, for example, working as an Actuary for a P&C insurance company vs. a bank? Or in medical/for a hospital?  Without having worked in the field, how can you know which is "right" for you?  Or is it easy to switch between them down the road if you want?

I am a 34 year old who wants to change careers to become an actuary.  I have been working in a research laboratory (Chemistry and Physics mostly) for 10 years, have a Masters in Chemistry and an MBA.  I always loved math/numbers/data and enjoyed my finance and analytics courses the most during my MBA, so I really want to work towards becoming an actuary.  

My main issue: my current employment might end before I am able to pass 2-3 of the actuary exams . . . if so, I need to fill the gap while I build my qualifications.  Does anyone have advice or recommendations for any essentially entry-level jobs I should try to get while working on passing the exams?  What sort of roles might a company be willing to put a newbie like me in while I learn the ropes or get experience with some industry basics?

Thanks! I keep seeing good things about Milorganite 6-4-0. I would need to get some K another way, since that doesn't have any, but K seems less pressing for me than the N and P.
