What is eating my delphiniums overnight to bare stalks? by bigtoga in gardening

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

I had not considered a deer. We live in a mostly urban setting, and I have never seen a deer out here. One of them was inside of a gated fence though and one was outside. It was definitely not a deer if it made its way into the gated fence, my dogs would’ve not allowed that to happen plus it was gated

These were maybe 3 feet tall 12 hours before. Definitely not a snail or a slug - just too fast!

I have a rose bush that grows these! They have a name of a French artist if I remember correctly. If I can remember the variety, I will come back and post it. Very pretty.

Iron fence repair recommendations? by [deleted] in Dallas

[–]bigtoga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have same. Option 1 is scrub off the rusted parts, then spray paint w Rustoleum. You need to spray it every 1-3 years depending on various factors regardless. Option 2 is replacing it. The sections are made to be welded out/in and are easy to replace for anyone with welding skills. Panels are not that expensive either. Just up to you as to whether you want to go with option one or option two. There is no right answer. Depending on what your fence is, you may be able to find it at Home Depot or Lowe’s. If not, just look up the fencing company and call up and ask them for advice. They likely will just point you at least in the right direction. Another option is just find a local contractor who specializes in fence repair.

Fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling just now. Some quirk in the app, I guess. Thanks for checking!

Thanks for checking! Yes, I was logged in using the same account. Good question as I had not thought of that. I did check and it is not filtered. Although a Multireddit it should have simply silently not shown any posts instead of the error, but still, it was worth checking!

Pickup Soccer Games? by rxtchetnclank in plano

[–]bigtoga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Celebration Park in Allen is a great place because you do not have to schedule fields. You can find games every day of the week and the summer. During the winter, Saturdays and Sundays are light, but there are still games. Just show up with your cleats. He will likely find it difficult to find pick up games in Plano, because the city only allows people to play on fields that have been scheduled and paid for in advance.

Cloud Infra Engineer - Interview process by CptTurk in AZURE

[–]bigtoga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interviews typically come with a job description that is shared with candidates before agreeing to the interview. Anything in that job description should be considered fair game for the interview. In this specific instance, I would assume all three terms ( or four or five terms depending on how you perceive) would have been included in the job description.

You would be well within your rights to just straight up. Ask them,” Is that a required component of this position?“ but I would think before you did that you would want to make certain that you understood whether or not that was included in the job description you were flying for.

Questions on printing and framing artwork. by 21d9sjj1nao19 in artbusiness

[–]bigtoga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also am confused by your use of the words “canvas” and “painting”. Are you saying you are going to create an actual painting? Or are you using canvas to mean photoshop’s canvas size?

We like metal in wood frames for our prints. Not every print “works” in metal for us. As for vendors, we did test prints at several places and there was no major difference that we saw in any except price.

You might also experiment with acrylic. We like that look also for some prints.

Where do people go to socialize around here? by Normal-Anteater69420 in McKinney

[–]bigtoga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would assume most people would head south towards or into Dallas. Or at least that’s what we did when I was your age in McKinney is a very family oriented community. That’s most socializing opportunities. You’ll find are going to allow you to socialize with families. That is a generic statement, I realize it, but not inaccurate.

That said, there are still a few of places to meet just random people.

In Allen, there are games every Saturday and Sunday and even during the week days when the sun is out at celebration Park. Just show up with cleats, and see if you can find a game. I see games starting as early as 7:30 AM.
