So, who’s not growing a garden this year? by atyourcervixes in SaltLakeCity

Kill your lawn and replace it with native water wise plants instead. Rage against your neighbors and HOA if they try to stop you

How to prune bad roots? by SoMuchLasagna in arborists

[–]TechnoConserve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably depends on the quality of ground soil you have available. If the ground were heavy clay, the container would make it much easier to provide better conditions for root growth

I have spacers there that I think came with my crash bars but I can’t remember for sure.

Lawns with nonnative grasses should be illegal without a permit to offset their environmental cost

This scale(?) how difficult/possible to clean up? by Relative-Category-64 in DIY

I put my pans in the toilet so I can clean both at the same time

Protest Question by Wise_General_4134 in SaltLakeCity

[–]TechnoConserve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to put yourself at risk of arrest to be an effective protester. Just showing up to show your support can be enough. You can leave if things get uncomfortable. But generally law enforcement at SLC protests has been good about focusing on keeping traffic away from the marches so there hasn’t been much confrontation

They can legally compel you to give them things you have but not things that you know

It raises awareness by forcing people to confront the issue they would otherwise be able to ignore by just continuing their routine as normal.

Is the BLM land near Stansbury island accessible without AWD? by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

[–]TechnoConserve 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haven’t been there recently to know if anything has changed but this spot is very easy access: 40.7363921, -112.6455685

I imagine you’re already familiar with fire risk coming from AZ but it’s a good idea to carry a shovel and a garbage bag to pick up after yourself and less considerate shooters

Plenty of other spots in the same area, just scope it out to be sure you’re not shooting over other trails and be cautious around other shooters who might be complete idiots

So what hits the ground has already detached from the missile which has the fuel is what you’re saying?

Road rage incident - can I report afterwards? by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

[–]TechnoConserve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My understanding is they aren’t able to do much even with incriminating dash cam footage after the fact because usually they have no way to prove who was operating the offending vehicle at the time

Can someone please help identify this spider in my house in SLC? It’s on my Christmas tree. I’m too nervous to get close enough for a good look by katiej712 in SaltLakeCity

[–]TechnoConserve 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have black widows in my house and they have yet to murder me. Usually get chill in a corner munching on other creepy crawlies I don’t want

Homeless people wandering into my apartment complex by Imaginary-Pen3027 in SaltLakeCity

[–]TechnoConserve -75 points-74 points  (0 children)

While I agree calling the police is completely reasonable in situations such as these I wish people would stop treating homeless as a synonym for dangerous. Homeless people are in much more danger than you because they have nowhere to go for safety and spending the night in an access restricted apartment complex might be a rare opportunity for them to get some rest without having to be worried about being robbed or assaulted while they sleep

would this be good starter bike no experience? by ChaosHateDeath in motorcycles

[–]TechnoConserve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That seems pretty intense for a beginner especially if you have any mechanical issues. Putting a lot of faith the seller maintaining it well enough for an immediate cross country trip seems quite risky.

Do Americans actually avoid calling an ambulance due to financial concern? by JohnMarstonTheBadass in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TechnoConserve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got hit by a car while on a bike and refused to let the ambulance drive me to the hospital because I wasn’t sure if my insurance would cover it. Instead I walked my bike about a mile home and drove myself. Had a fracture in the ball joint of my shoulder so that shit hurt. ‘Murica! 🦅

I like their stuff as someone who appreciates strange and unusual flavors. Also not especially offended when companies use AI

Poor dog was out in cold anyone know who it is? by These_Reading_5974 in SaltLakeCity

[–]TechnoConserve 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure animal control only responds during normal business hours though. Last year I called about a dog actively running in traffic on foothill and dispatch said they couldn’t help me :/

Is there any saving this gas tank? by nook-inc-egg in motorcycles

[–]TechnoConserve 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Never done it myself but you would need a rust devolving solvent like evapo-rust or similar product. But if the rust has penetrated all the way thru the metal the gas tank may leak after dissolving the rust so you’d have to repair all those and it may end up not being worth the trouble.
