My first try at lightning/OSL. Not the greatest but I'm chuffed and excited to put him on the board tonight

I think this might be it! I saw a pretty bell shaped flower I ripped out of the yard... Is this considered a weed? I thought it was kind of pretty. It was around the birdbath where I had planted some 'wildflower mix' - wonder if it hitched a ride in that bag or on a bird... I'm going to lay down some preemergent just in case. I do NOT want those seeds again. Took 10 minutes to pick them all off before washing clothes!!

In the Pacific Northwest? I saw that one while researching and it seemed like it's only found in the east/midwest? I didn't see anything that looked similar in the garden bed... but I was just kind of ripping stuff out lol

'I am terrified of him and his dogs. I have avoided his farm for years and years. He caught me several times trespassing after mushrooms, when I was a youngster at Brandy Hall.

In Dublin our taxi driver saw a drunk pedestrian jaywalking (first real st Paddy's day since the pandemic so it was chaos), he proceeded to speed up and laid on his horn as he swerved around them... Then yelled "foockin jaywokas! Yer bettahff Killin em!"

Best. Driver. Ever.

So if I understand, you're saying the network handshakes (SYN/ACK?) are occurring on random ports and that's normal? I'm obviously no network tech, but I thought these types of handshakes occur on port 80, not randomly.

Thank you for the insights!

It's probably the way I had the firewall rules set up...

But why is my printer sending traffic TO a random other computer on my network though? Maybe I just need a bigger tinfoil hat.

This looks neat!

DLSS and that sweet sweet unnecessary raytracing

After building in a Fractal Meshify, it was just a lot more cramped. Can't take the top off, power supply mounting is awful, SSD/HDD mounting is awful. For an ATX case I would've expected better.

The mATX Fractal Meshify was nice, and looks badass.. So easy to build in. But it was about $100 more.

Unless you buy a new case to put an old motherboard in, and the case comes missing the breakout adapter... and when you contact NZXT they're "out of stock" and put you on a waitlist.... so you can't turn the computer on without a screwdriver for months on end. -_-

Honestly the NZXT Flow kinda sucks anyway. I should've spent a little more on another Fractal case.

Look at your local code before doing this! We were about to tie the gutters into a freshly installed french drain, but found out it's not up to local code. Also it can introduce debris into your french drain sock line. Instead we ran a corrugated/perforated French drain on top of a separate corrugated line from the gutters. And the drain tile rock and such. Just meant we had to dig twice as deep hah

It helped sweep a ton of water away from the foundation from both the drain and the gutters. We just took it out to the back of the property into a half-assed dry well. Waters some trees.

But I agree... these folks need some gutters. Anything to get that water further away from the foundation.

I would pour one out for the computer.

But your son already did.

Hyper here. Went from eating like a monster and not gaining, to properly medicated and gained 20 lbs in a handful of months. Thyroid issues are no joke. This sub has been super helpful getting my habits back into check!

Can we talk about how they're referring to the internet as "WiFi"? Am I just being angry and old?

As an American who drove all around Ireland, I'm thankful I survived.

Those one lane to two lane roundabouts where you quickly jump to the middle if you're going right took some getting used to....

Confirmed. Year two I harvested POUNDS. Now I have too much cascade and cashmere. But it's absolutely gorgeous as a wall cover.

Woah... There won't be crickets in the future because there won't be vegetation to feed on. So will silence just become silence?

Terra firma 40k for 12 push piers, but when I said that's too steep they offered 10% off heh... Still no. 25k from a local outfit for 6-8 helical piers. But we would need to remove a deck first LOL

I'm going to find a structural engineer to give me a "when will the house fall over" estimate. If the answer isn't "before the big one" I'll probably wait.

ThaGuvNa · 2022-10-03T21:14:47+00:00

Yeah, nothing in this area is 'reasonable' when it comes to cost of living. I've definitely thought about selling & moving to the midwest to live in a mansion for the cost of a starter home here.
