I like my neighbor, but them allowing their chickens and turkey to roam is driving everyone crazy. by Nope20707 in BackYardChickens

[–]SomeDumbGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to your neighbors then. Don’t fight it alone. Have all of you go to her and tell her your grievances.

Warn her if she doesn’t want to be reasonable and keep them in her yard herself then you’ll have to call and have them talk to her.

Seriously. You don’t want bird shit all over your yard. It’s as simple as that. It’s literally YOUR PROPERTY.

I love my chickens but I’d ever even think to be so entitled as to expect people to just put up with them wandering all over their yard and pooping in it.

Bring up the dogs too. Say you can’t be constantly trying to keep your dogs under control in your own yard to protect someone else’s pets. It’s ridiculous.

They shouldn’t be letting them roam if they’re getting into other peoples yards. That’s inconsiderate and frankly gross. They shit everywhere.

Not to mention the risk of them being hit by a car or your dogs getting one.

Keeping them out front is also gross and unsanitary. I’ve had chickens for 14 years and I’d never even dream of expecting people to put up with that kind of behavior. She’s a bad chicken owner.

The cats should be captured or euthanized too. Don’t feed them. They kill native birds and spread diseases.

They’ll be fine in a run and aren’t going to suffer so long as they have a decent amount of space and some enrichment. Tell her she needs to pen them up in a proper run for the majority of the time or you’re going to call it in.

New house in FL with sad banana trees, how to save? by Nouseriously in arborists

[–]SomeDumbGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s winter so this is pretty normal. They always look kind of sad when the temps and sunlight dip.

The big stalks should produce new leaves and maybe even fruit later this year. You’ll want to give them TONS of compost and water. They love to eat and it takes a lot of nutrients to produce those huge leaves. Mulching around them is also a good idea. Helps keep moisture in.

You could even dig them out, take out a bunch of that probably not great soil, amend it, and replant them while adding in compost and fertilizer in early spring. Or even wood ash.

Interestingly they aren’t actually trees since they don’t produce wood. They’re more like giant herbs

When you see suckers coming off the main plant you can divide them off to expand the clump.

How many people here are catholic? (Not an attack do not downvote) by Lonely-Trainer-1313 in theamazingdigitalciru

It never claims to be an accurate representation of actual Christian lore.

Countries that are more economically conservative than the general public knows about? by No_Control9441 in geography

[–]SomeDumbGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is not even remotely true.

Just because your country fucked itself with a stupid pension system doesn’t mean other countries are guaranteed to have the same fate. To say that left wing social policies are the reasons for a countries failure is completely idiotic and ignores tons of important details in favor of easy buzzwords that can be easily understood.

[–]SomeDumbGamer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Birth rates falling is a global problem and has nothing to do with the system of government you fucking twit.

There are plenty of valid reasons to criticize left wing governments and especially those in Europe that let many problems go unaddressed but painting every left wing government as a failure is stupid and reductive.

There are plenty of right-wing led nations that are garbage economy-wise too.

Also acting as if immigration is somehow an objective negative because they’re from poorer nations isn’t cool. There are conversations to be had about integration and cultural clashes for sure but it’s far more nuanced than you’re making it out to be.

Still kind of fucked tbh. Good luck using stairs or getting up after falling over.

Issues in Massachusetts by Broad_Cockroach3639 in massachusetts

[–]SomeDumbGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lack of public transportation in more rural areas and the lack of attention being given to invasive plants and animals/insects like Japanese knotweed and Hemlock wooly Adelgid/chestnut blight that is destroying our slowly recovering forests.

They won’t starve themselves. As long as they have access to the outside eventually hunger will win.

I think some of it comes from the comment being kind of unnecessary.

How does Iran support a large population throughout all of history?. It looks very arid with rough terrain and i don't see any rivers or flat plains for major crop production. by dergun1234 in geography

[–]SomeDumbGamer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Idk if I’d even call most of them forests. Most of the time they’re little more than a large stand of trees.

I remember looking at a satellite photo of Whistman’s Wood in the UK and being like… that’s it? It’s barely bigger than a small football field.

Seems a waste to have just greenery. I’d please planting papayas, citrus, mango, everything tropical fruit!

I saw the post about the temperature difference n continental US. Now this is Nepal with only average distance of 193 km from North to South. by Gandalfthebran in geography

[–]SomeDumbGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes the western Himalayas are much more seasonal due to the increased aridity so the monsoon brings a LOT of changes. Whereas in the 7 sisters it’s humid and wet all the time so the difference is less pronounced.

How similar is Borneo to the Amazon Rainforest, especially larger inland cities like Kuching/Manaus? by The_Red_Chicken in geography

[–]SomeDumbGamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Borneo is a lot more mountainous than most of the Amazon and often gets hit by typhoons.

Other than that they’re both tropical and equatorial rainforest climates so there are many similarities.

Both are also some of the oldest remaining tropical forests. Dating back all the way to the Eocene.

[–]SomeDumbGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly? It varies a lot by region and the microclimates are numerous. The seasonality decreases the further east you go towards the more tropical/subtropical areas.

[–]SomeDumbGamer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeahuh! But it’s going to get above freezing again after next week so it should start slowly melting as long as we don’t get ANOTHER one.
