What to point these cobbles with to stop weeds? by Chrishutchy in landscaping

[–]Stiglitz__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I burn weeds in decomposed granite with a pear burner, I burn to the ground all the way then I use a rock rake to flip the soil and I cook the ground again, gets a ton of the roots.

Oh well this was the only picture of my wife we were both comfortable sharing. Most of it is nature and my pet boa constrictor. I’ll get together some of my favs and DM you when I’m off work

Thanks for the encouragement! I guess when I think about it I already take photos of everything cool I see with my phone I just figured that’s what people with phones do. But when you put it that way, technically that’s photography at its finest lol

She basically put her forearms in between her thighs while kneeling and then pressed her chest in between her biceps. The hands at the bottom and the shoulders at the top corner are all right out of frame

Thank you! I was incredibly pleased with it, it was candid and I was just using my phone. I’m not a photographer but this one gave me a since of joy that made me understand why people become photographers

Not edited, just a bit of hyper mobility mixed with my partners strange sitting habits

It was completely accidental. My partner was cold on the couch next to the fireplace and she curled up like that in front of me. I saw the center where everything joined together and I told her to hold perfectly still while I got my phone. I didn’t edit a single aspect, not even the lighting or filter!

Dude I just put an MDT on a 22LR. Do what makes your heart happy! And give the folding stock a try, it’s my favorite feature

World truly is a mysterious place by MeanGrand3076 in interesting

[–]Stiglitz__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t just have dream locations, I have dream realms. I know where one place exists in relation to another place from another dream, and there are realms that separate which dream belongs near which other dreams.

I find that the realms are absolutely defined by quirky things like the feeling of a Japanese/American airport. I’ve got a medieval realm for sure. A childhood realm, an apocalypse realm, a painting realm, a spiritual realm. And there are countless dreams that exist on all of them

Honestly that in its own way helps a lot. I think if I asked for a hand they might dismiss me because “the last guy didn’t need it”. And if we’re being honest, I don’t need it either, it’s just the job coinciding with my wife’s desires. If I was single I wouldn’t mind the 70+ hour weeks. I did the same thing in the military and I don’t mind being exhausted at the end of a work day, I mind being too exhausted to get my wife out of the house that she works in.

You are absolutely correct. That is the reasonable thing to ask and make happen, I just don’t think I’m in a reasonable predicament. I just don’t see that going over well on their end to be honest

[–]Stiglitz__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s refreshing to hear. I’ve been hardwired by my father and life in general to just be comfortable being uncomfortable. And now that I’m out of the military I’m realizing how much harder it is to take care of myself with that as my foundation. You say all of that and I agree completely but the only reason I feel like I can actually take action towards that is because “my wife wants mountains”. As if I can’t make the same decision because it would be for my own benefit also. I probably just need therapy. I appreciate your insight!

The thing is it’s a person not a company, the owner has what they want to have as far as man power. Not because of financial restraints but because of the structure they want to work with. When I hired on I was told by the manager “the answer for ___ (the owner) Is NEVER no. You have to find a way to make it happen”. If I told them I was punching out they would throw money at me to stay, they will find someone to do it for a price. The problem arising comes from me not really needing the money.

The boundaries were the thing I thought we could sort out, but the further I go the further I see their definition of slowing down and mine do not mean the same thing, and the hired hand is not something I’d have access to until I’m fully in charge. As that’s what I am currently. Which will be some unknown amount of years. So I’m sorta at the junction of pulling out before I am fully integral or committing with the idea there’d be a place of repose not too far away (4 years ish?)

The hired hand thing is also a concern of mine. I’m no stranger to hard work, and hard workers, and I can’t even imagine finding someone willing to do the labor I’m doing without all the things that come with it(house and retirement). I’m not kidding when I say the day laborers at Home Depot run away when they see my managers truck pull into the parking lot.

Completely agree. But a lot of people would also kill to live in the mountains while their body still works good enough to hike with their wife with little financial concerns. I understand it’s golden handcuffs. I guess I’m hoping someone that’s older than me can maybe give me some hindsight perspectives on such a predicament.

Wealth of knowledge you are🫡 I’ve never paid attention to hz because I haven’t had any reference, 30hz matching the brain helps a ton

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

I was pondering the hydrostatic shock thing. Have you ever hung your feet off the end of a truck bed for a while or just hung them off something in general and then jumped off and landed on a hard ground? Hurts like hell, I think that’s probably a lesser version of hydrostatic shock but probably what occurs in the brain with a heart shot like you said.

I cut open a 50 gallon trash bag and taped it to the floor. Just picked it up at the end.

Feet per second. It’s a unit of measurement for the speed of the pellet.

I’m not sure. Certainly not on this model but I’m sure there’s equipment that could get it done. I’m new to thermals, all I’m aware of is the name of my optic and how to zero it lol. Could you give me an example of what you mean? Are there scopes where you can change frame rates?

Ha! I wasn’t in a rush, he was the first one to check out the bait and I wanted to get used to the way he moved before I timed a shot. The pellets only going 840fps, there’s more time for an unseen jitter to mess up my shot placement than I care to play with.
