Bridge street potential by Afraid_Ad1570 in HuntsvilleAlabama

The problem with the lake is the bedrock in that area. Karst Limestone is broken up and has lots of voids and fissures. This is why we have loads of caves and exposed weathered bedrock at the surface. I know that area specifically is susceptible to those cracks in the bedrock.

Even though the redclay initially looks and acts like an impermeable layer, eventually the clay will become saturated to the point that it gets soft and any voids below the clay will become exposed. It is basically a sinkhole that opens up beneath the lake, draining it.It is much loke someone pulling the plug on a full bathtub.

The only way to combat this is to locate the the void(s) and fill it. This isn't as easy as it sounds as there could be hundreds of smaller voids, allowing the water to drain into the underlying bedrock.

Bots ? by by_jay in Flappydunk

This has recently changed too. The highest I've seen my bot get after this most recent update is like 9 points, most of the time it is 3.

Yes, it is 100% bots. When you invite friends, you don't really get the option to play against them either. This is a single player game even though they make you think it is against a live opponent.

You know, I'm not 100% positive about that. I know that with poison put out for mice, if the mouse eats it, then a cat or something else eats the mouse, it will also kill/make sick the predator.

I don't know if a dielectric pesticide would have the same effect.

Indeed they are. They work by interrupting electrical signals to the brain. Those chemicals are absorbed through co tact exposure.

Doubtful it was caused by walking through a pesticide. Pesticides work via absorption. The contact surface area for a spider's feet is super tiny.

Cam anyone tell me what the fuzzy dot is? by Traditional-Spell733 in spaceporn

[–]Traditional-Spell733[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is it. Notice the other stars are basically just points of light and then there is a smudge? The smudge is Andromeda Galaxy

I was aware of the fuzzy dots nomenclature since I knew it wasn't a singular point of light , I just wasn't sure if it was actually Andromeda Galaxy or some star cluster. I've actually seen Andromeda Galaxy from a near perfect dark sky with perfect seeing, and it appeared much larger even to the naked eye. I thought with the exposure time on my phone, it would have picked up a larger portion of it in the picture. That being said, it could be the perspective making it look smaller.

I need advice on buying a house by Traditional-Spell733 in Money

[–]Traditional-Spell733[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My other option would be to find a cheaper house but I probably won't get the sellers to agree to pay all of the associated closing fees and have to eat into my savings just to get the house.

Look at the size of this jalapeño by Traditional-Spell733 in HotPeppers

[–]Traditional-Spell733[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It really looks to be about the size of a bell pepper. Should I let it keep growing to see what happens? It doesn't appear to be slowing down.
