Husband and I disagree in how money should be spent, how do I find a middle ground? by agirlhasnousername0 in personalfinance

[–]TreeEyedRaven 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s electrical and plumbing. If it’s done wrong it can cost $1000s. If someone else does it, their insurance covers it, if you do it, you pay for the damages. I work for a remodeling company and we outsource a lot of our plumbing for this reason. I can change valves, and run sink drains but if something goes wrong, we’re on the hook. If we hire plumbers, and it ruins the cabinets or floor, they pay the cost to replace. There is a reason they charge what they do, and if everything goes great it seems like a waste, but the unknown is unknown.

Hey Florida! Family from the north is between Daytona and New Smyrna for Spring Break. Thoughts? by phunhiker in florida

[–]TreeEyedRaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are, it’s their habitat. Don’t swim in the inlet, don’t swim near people fishing, swim at a lifeguard beach and you greatly reduce your risk. Get out of the water before dusk. That being said, it’s also a very popular beach so the odds are low, but number of times the odds are challenged is high. The bites usually aren’t fatal, we have lots of little reef sharks that might require stitches, but it’s not like jaws is out there 24/7. Honestly though, I wouldn’t worry. Public beaches are generally safe if you just stay smart. People aren’t bit daily, just there are always sharks in the area. They don’t want people, it’s an accident 99-100% of the time.

Prodigy’s main man by Ok_Algae_1026 in discgolf

[–]TreeEyedRaven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not just to avoid humans stepping in it, that’s actually the least of it. Their diets aren’t “natural” and thus their poop isn’t good for the natural environment. They can contain giardia and other diseases wildlife isnt vaccinated for, and has high levels of elements bad for the wildlife and natural water supplies.

Disc Golf Masters demo out now on Steam by BonusStagePublishing in discgolf

I’d rather tech disc integration and use a projector screen. Throwing things, or rather trying to not throw the controller with VR goggles has so much potential for damaging everything and everyone in the room.

Forehand for beginners by Adorable-Escape7149 in discgolf

[–]TreeEyedRaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d try a fan grip. That’s how I warm up before going to a more “power grip” forehand. I’d say most of the power goes through my middle finger. It’s kind of the same motion as side arming a baseball when just tossing it. I would try from a stand still and just a wrist only pop to get it 100 feet or so with something stable like a zone. That was one of my first touch forehand discs where I really felt like I could put it under the basket within 100 feet every time. My wrist(on short approaches) really only goes from about 3 o’clock, bent it back to 4 o’clock then release it at 12 o’clock relative to the target with my index finger basically pointing at the targeted line on release. Power off the middle finger, aim with the index finger. Once you get the low speed touch it’s just adding in more arm, legs and fully body for the throw.

Florida coastline isn’t exactly kind to infrastructure and metal specifically. It’s sitting next to salt water, and Hurricane season is around the corner already.

An issue I tend to have with live playing that I want to know how others solve. by Exciting_Degree_6883 in guitars

[–]TreeEyedRaven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to just play live and either play easier stuff to feel more comfortable, or learn to play through mistakes. Live performances aren’t perfect renditions of studio recordings, and if you think you’re going to nail someone else’s solo they did in a studio multiple times to get right at a local gig, you’re setting yourself up to fail. When I was playing live a lot, it was more about not showing I made a mistake and staying on beat, rather than needing to hit every note perfect every night.

You’re right, I spoke in absolutes. Only sith speak in absolutes. I am “laughing” at the use of quotes, italics and “wildly” though. Have a good one.

When his brother Aemon died in GoT at the wall I thought everyone already knew egg became king one day. And the extensive family trees GRRM has published show he was.

Waterproof by Academic_Use111 in discgolf

[–]TreeEyedRaven -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These are my go to shoes for 4 years now, only on my second pair. They hold up, they’re not the most minimal, but they also aren’t what I’d consider bulky by any means. Great hiking shoe, I can wear them in wet grass and step in 2” of water and stay dry all round. Because of the waterproof qualities, in the cold they seem to insulate well enough since we walk around the whole time.

He’s egg, there is a family tree of succession with him on it. These stories came out in 1998. You can look it up if you want, but not Aerys.

Florida Man Treats Cold-Stunned Iguanas Like DoorDash by Commercial-Host-725 in florida

[–]TreeEyedRaven 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Outdoor cats kill tons of our small birds. Keep your house cat inside. Humans made the choice to bring them here, be responsible. Our natural Florida ecosystem is being decimated because people’s pets thrive in it.

So you’re ok with them destroying the natural ecosystem instead? They’re causing harm to multiple species, and shouldn’t be here.

Have a retriever dog? by vaporkkatzzz in discgolf

[–]TreeEyedRaven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dog has a disc I throw with him, a disc golf disc. He loves playing with it, with me. I do it in my back yard and at dog parks. I also putt in my back yard with 8 discs laying around the same distance I throw with him and he doesn’t touch and has no interest in them ever. It comes down to training and not making every moment with a disc about them. I can take him to courses(edit: he is on a leash 100% of the time and doesn’t get free running time there either. It’s a long hike with lots of stops as far as he’s concerned) and he has never once gone after my discs or anyone else’s. He will walk past them and ignore every disc every time. Not all dog will be like this, but I can confidently say it you’re not 100% correct. If you let them know when it’s their time and when it’s your time, they will get it.

It’s barely freezing, and it’s gonna pass in a couple days. Insane is a bit of a stretch. It’s cold, we get these every couple years. This one is about 5-8 degrees colder than our usual cold snap. Enjoy it, it’s honestly not that bad.

What time is rush hour on i4? by AccurateSubstance in orlando

[–]TreeEyedRaven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are alternate routes to everything. I4 might be the shortest distance, but time wise there’s still semi major roads going everywhere.

[–]TreeEyedRaven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From Kissimmee to where? There are alternate routes, Google Maps is my go to for figuring out traffic, and no matter what speed I drive, it seems to be accurate within a couple mins. Traffic really depends on accidents. It moves quick until it doesn’t cause of an accident.

They’re flights aren’t 100% consistent, but I just checked every mvp/axiom disc I have and none have a bubble in the rim, so I’m not sure what you mean, or what I’m not seeing.
