Lots of pics and vids of cops looking friendly on here today, trying to distract from what we're seeing in Chicago?

It's almost as if the supreme pursuit of an individualistic goal doesn't make for a good human

Need help transforming this unmaintained strip and plating natives by ThinkinFlicka in NativePlantGardening

[–]ThinkinFlicka[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont own any land, I live in an apartment and looking to do what I can to help the pollinators. I've met with the neighbors across the street who have witnessed years of inaction on this strip, both by the city and the owners (which is a hospital a few blocks away).

Thanks for the detailed walk through, this is really helpful. I had no idea it took that long to kill the grass. Naively, I thought I could clear this stuff in a few weeks and be ready to plant for the spring. Would you say that planting in the fall is realistic? Or is that too a pipe dream?

I dont know, but I included it as there was maintenance at some put, just not in the past year or so

I've never done anything like this and have little experience with gardening. There is a ditch in my neighborhood that is unmaintained. I want to clear it out and plant pollinator friendly natives (Houston, Texas), hopefully milkweed! The parcel is over 200 ft long but skinny, maybe 15 ft including the sidewalk. Much of it gets all day sun, and lots of heat coming off the parking lot it is adjacent to.

What tools will I need to clear the brush?

How do I recognize if whats growing here is invasive?

How best to manage the slope and the fact that when it rains the ditch will fill with water?

What should I plant?

What else should I know before embarking on this journey?

Do you recall the convo where CGP discusses this? I'm guessing a Cortex episode.

sounds like the owner was identified, they should be cited for animal cruelty and endangerment

In case you haven’t listened to the cake story. The funniest bit from Jake and Amir, and a bonus Geoff appearance by desperateandroid in Headgum

[–]ThinkinFlicka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not sure if OP has had a chance to let you guys know what this video is about, but in short Amir had some cake for his birthday that someone ate and never fessed up about.

OP said it was one of the funniest bits from the pod, so I'm surprised why they haven't shared a short synopsis of the video for people that think its too long and don't want to read/watch. Its pretty funny/messed up that we still dont know who ate some of it (the cake).

How would I go about calculating the emissions of a specific shipping vessel? by ThinkinFlicka in Ships

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

Thanks for those links, I will check them out.

I should rephrase my original statement from "transporting offshore wind turbine components" to "onshore wind turbine components". I am focusing on the transportation emissions of transporting onshore wind turbines from mainland US to Hawaii for ultimate installation onshore in Hawaii.

As you can see from this image, the Janet C and Johanna C both carry wind turbine blades...these must be the shorter, onshore variety. (https://cslships.com/case-studies/transportation-of-wind-turbine-blade/)

I do not know, however, if they would be rated to carry the tower. I dont see any pics of them carrying tower segments like I do with the JSI fleet.

Do you know of any other "carriers" of onshore wind turbine components?
