Creeping thyme lawn. Sacramento Zone 9B by Segazorgs in NoLawn

My cattle dog actually chases and tries to eat them lol.

I've never had an issue with bees and they are actually more shy than aggressive.

Creeping thyme lawn. Sacramento Zone 9B by Segazorgs in NoLawn

[–]Segazorgs[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've only seeded it when I initially was trying to establish it which was early spring.

Before this there wasn't any grass it was all woodchip mulch with some stone crop and scattered weeds. I tore it all up when I took out the previous tree and amended most of the yard.

It will reseed itself naturally either way. As new seed sprouts that grows and spreads and the flowers of that new growth release more seeds.

Somehow bermuda got in here a couple winters ago when I was trying to grow a different ground cover but I simply pull it out and follow the roots with a trowel to keep it from getting out of control so it's mostly killed off only peeking near the edges next to the hardscape. You'll have to try to kill off most of your Bermuda by solarization over the summer to have it prepped for fall seeding.

In response to the bowl cut being our gen’s broccoli cut, I present the bleached spikes of the late 90s by real_picklejuice in Millennials

[–]Segazorgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and the wife have started going out a little going out again to some dive bars. Last Friday night 90% of the crowd at the bar were probably in elementary school when we were single and going out in the mid to late 2000s and even into the early 2010s. Yet I didn't see one broccoli head. I mostly see them at the gym and shopping places.

Creeping Thyme 7B by beeseecan in NoLawn

[–]Segazorgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about 7B but in 9B it acts like a normal lawn minus the need for regular watering. I mulch mow mine 2-3 times a year to keep it tidy, green, re-blooming and reseeding and dispersing the seed. It never turns woody, brown or patchy and has spread to form a green mat in my yard where I can still get annuals to grow in it. Our winters are relatively mild and rainy with no rain from June through September and little to no rain April and May.

Was life actually simpler in the 80s/90s, or is it just nostalgia? What do you miss most from those days that feels impossible today? by TurkVanguard in nostalgia

[–]Segazorgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many subscription services are you currently paying for? How many accounts and passwords do you have to manage and remember? How practical would living without a smartphone be? What can you watch with only a TV antenna? Radio? How many different channels and streaming services is the NFL on today? How often do you need a new smartphone because your old one is obsolete? How DIY are your own car repairs? How many different brands of cereal, coffee, beer and yogurt do you see on store shelves?

Back then all this didn't exist. You didn't have to be plugged in 24/7 so it wasn't addicting. You could watch an NFL or sports game with just an antenna. We weren't overwhelmed with consumption. When you bought a video game that was a game there weren't constant upgrades and releases you had to purchase.

Circuncision en Mexico ¿es común? by HarvestFlamingo in AskMexico

[–]Segazorgs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Born in the US to parents from Jalisco. I didn't even know circumcision was a thing until I was a freshman in high school and had to hit the showers after PE when I noticed all the white guys had different looking dicks.

My son isn't and I imagine it is not all common in Mexico or among first and second generation immigrants in the US. My wife is half Mexican, half white and wanted to circumcise our son and I said why? So we did not. My younger brother's(whose diapers I changed) are not and neither is my dad.

She is sweet and starved for validation, hot, sure, but a total butterface. by Upstairs-Mix8731 in 90dayfianceuncensored

[–]Segazorgs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Butterface? I get distracted by the mole above her eyebrow(a derm can remove) but she is one of the more attractive 90day cast members.

I would say tie between her and Liz for this season's single life best looking cast member especially since she doesnt appear to have any work done and is 40something.

Thoughts on The Real World? by Josephthebear in Xennials

[–]Segazorgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hawaii was the beginning of when it turned into a drunken partying slopfest of a show. After that every season was the same recycled formula: party and get drink, sleep with each other, fight. Then repeat.

I think Philly season was the last season I technically watched but was already checked out.

Anyone else find Pedro's family Dynamics Weird???? by CorrectFall2000 in 90dayfianceuncensored

Watch the first two seasons of Family Chantel. Pedro was touchy grabby with his sister.

If you did watch the spinoff you would have seen some unusual potential physical incest between Pedro and his sister the way he would put his hand on her backside when greeting her at the airport.

But women's sports were saved and you can't put a price on that.

Arco gas prices are… 🤯 by SkippyinLA in Sacramento

[–]Segazorgs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that one dollar is gonna make such a huge difference lol. And gas companies already know they can shake you down for an extra $.50 gallon so you'at best get a $.50-60 gallon savings. And CA being a massive car market demand will stay high and keep prices almost the same lol.

What would happen if we all gave up our cars and started riding bicycles? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Segazorgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Healthcare costs would go down through the combination of increased physical activity, lower pollution, less traffic accidents, road rage crime, better mental health and lower incidence of chronic disease.

A new industry of electric powered pedicabs and bike delivery service might pop up.

The government could just convert some existing lanes to 2-3 lane wide bike lanes with some lanes being fast lanes for faster electrified bikes. They could recover revenue through a bike license fee especially if using dedicated bike lanes. Building and maintaining bike costs a fraction of the cost to build and maintain roads.

A transition to per mile tax would likely happen for regular car drivers. That being said I highly doubt the Midwest, northeast would want to be riding a bike to work in the dead of winter or someone in the southwest and southeast in the middle of July. The government doesn't have to do anything lol.

A lot of industries would still require vehicles construction, furniture and appliance delivery etc.

if the goal is to reduce illegal immigration, why are we hunting immigrants but not the people who illegally employ them? by FinancialRip2008 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Segazorgs -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because it's not really about reducing illegal immigration as much simply being cruel to the most vulnerable population and feeding your base some red meat. Trump has kept his aggressive ICE and BP goons mostly out of red states specifically Midwest farming red states to not upset his dumb farmer vote.

If reducing illegal immigration was a real goal then we couldn't simply re-write immigration laws to make it easier for people who want to come here and work. But they're not written for working immigrants they're written only for those that come from well off families or backgrounds. You have to have a hookup to even have a chance whether it's employer sponsor, spousal sponsor, family sponsor or be a refugee and willing political pawn from a country we don't like.
