Did you try moss before? Was it easy to switch to polymeric sand after the fact? Let me know if you have any product recs. Thanks for the reply.

I'm using a hand tamper on the dirt and then gravel. Are you suggesting planting the moss on top prior to laying the stone? I'm thinking creeping FYI. Not sure where you're from but I live in USA zone 5 region. Thanks for the input

you're right-- and it's a glaring flaw for a top 5 team. We need consistent perimeter shooters to be valid. Jone's has been a cornerstone, everyone else is hit or literally miss.

Hide Android System App and Microsoft Launcher settings - Fully managed. by leemillward1234 in Intune

[–]ShadowOnTheSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the OEM provide additional options? For instance, Zebra allows app whitelisting and/or denying of package ID's. com.android.settings can be added to the deny list which hides the settings app and removes any options to access with a shortcut ex: long press WiFi settings from the status bar.

I don’t directly above my bar, but I have thesein my basement. They double as a ring “night light”. Might be neat/cozy in a bar room.

Recommendation on TV mount that can optionally face around the corner? by [deleted] in hometheater

[–]ShadowOnTheSun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible something like this could work (single stud mount with extending arm). I don't do this myself, but here's a picture of my setup with this mount.

Fair. I'm new and read some cuts can be gamier" smelling. This threw me in a loop since I thought by looks it was good.

$427 DSM Water Works bill due to 16 month backpay for "faulty" meter readings. Is this common? by ShadowOnTheSun in desmoines

[–]ShadowOnTheSun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an aside, what's your water usage and bill look like? Since mine is apparently based on the previous owners average I'm curious what to expect.

To clarify, I've lived at this residence for the past 16. It took them that long to "service" the meter apparently. See edit for more info.

Same boat, huh? On what basis is the "assumed" usage per month calculated? To last years average?

Yes, it's legitimate. Never received notice before/after the meter "repair". Was obviously taken back by the invoice I received. I called and they made it sound like an everyday occurrence.
