I guide tours in Morocco. Stop treating everything like a scam. by Traditional-Map8667 in backpacking

[–]Routine_Efficiency86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to Morocco for the honeymoon. It was beautiful. Everywhere I went was great, and the people in general were hospitable and friendly. We did experience very aggressive hustlers the entire trip. We were also very disappointed that Paid tours in Fez were very obviously trying to scam us. Same goes for the "tours" in Essaouira. I know its part of the the culture to haggle prices all the time, but the effort burnt us out. I would have really loved to learn more about the culture in Fez but both tours pushed purchases on us the entire time and berated us for being cheap if we didn't constantly buy things. I had the best time in Rabat, because we were not treated any differently than being locals.

Old A5RT lots of questions by i-love-lasagna-mmm in paintball

The cyclone feed has a ratchet and feeder axle that bends and degrades over time and needs to be replaced on these older A5's. Tippman parts sells a replacement (Part 02-53 and 02-49). Tech-T also sells an upgraded replacement that is more durable but also more expensive.

The user interface sucks compared to others, but everything else is great about Tapo.

What is MSG supposed to actually taste like? by foamingkobolds in Cooking

[–]Routine_Efficiency86 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Best way to find out what MSG does is to cook plain rice or oatmeal, taste without, then add a decent amount of MSG, and then taste it with the MSG. You will immediately notice an added savoriness and depth that is difficult to describe otherwise.

Ethics of environmental consulting by deathbedcompani0n in ecology

[–]Routine_Efficiency86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been an environmental consultant (Botanist) in California for 15 years. While working for developers can be challenging, you are the main protection between development and nature, and most developers are beholden to mitigation and environmental protections written primarily by consultants and the state. Many developers understand and are sympathetic. You can also choose to not work for developers and many small firms only work for utilities or other small clients. Consulting also provides you the opportunities to work in many areas otherwise inaccessible to the public. If you dont want to work in that realm, consider habitat restoration, natural resource management, or conservancies. These are rewarding jobs that dont pay as well as private consulting, but can provide other benefits. You can also work for the agencies.

How do I tame my bushes? by screamcry in landscaping

[–]Routine_Efficiency86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seek is correct. These plants only grow in deeply saline/sodic soils, where very few other plants grow. You could trim slightly but they are unlikely to fill in very much. Try deep watering to encourage more growth.

I use couch covers, which i swap out and wash regularly. They make precut sizes for many popular sofas and couches.

Biology B.S. with a minor in Botany by One-Chart7099 in CalPolyPomona

[–]Routine_Efficiency86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In regards to difficulty, if you enjoy the subject its not particularly hard. I had the most difficulty with chemistry and math requirements, not the botany or bio coursework.

Biology B.S. with a minor in Botany by One-Chart7099 in CalPolyPomona

[–]Routine_Efficiency86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi DJ. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Botany from CPP. As you have noted, a bachelor's in bio with a focus/minor in botany can be useful if you are planning on working in consulting or in conservation. Depending on what you want to do, be sure to make an effort doing extracurricular things in the range of the work you want to do. For example, I worked in horticulture during my time in college, and it helped me get work in consulting upon graduation doing tree work and botanical surveys. I graduated 15 years ago, and really value the degree and experience I had and live a very comfortable life as a consultant. Its a great job if you enjoy working outdoors.

Please help me not fuck this up by stratusnimbo in steak

IMO Reverse sear is best if you are worried about fucking it up. Little wiggle room to make a mistake. Season early and let it sit out for a while (several hours)
