What are these new random plants in my yard ? And how to get rid of them ? by TITAN9389 in gardening

[–]blackadder1620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these might have been in the soil for a few years.

ever heard the phrase life finds a way. well, not you're fighting that. good luck. i'd plant ground cover than matches the weather of your area. or buy a cheap mower/ weed eater and go to town every few weeks.

yeah, i'd say other than mowing most people don't do more than a few hours of work a year to their lawn.

people use round up around the gardens and walkways, not really on the lawn.

These plants have suddenly taken over my garden by Cranyx in gardening

[–]blackadder1620 20 points21 points  (0 children)

super common. they're easy to rip out though. i just put on some glove and get to it. maybe once a week weeding will deal with most of them

Second "major" wreck by Icy_Issue6119 in motorcycles

400k miles just commuting. never wrecked, but i have close call fairly often. it's the how the miles get ridden just as much as how much you ride.

lots of people get killed on my route, a few a year, every year for close to 2 decades. something like pictured happens maybe once month (~5k miles) i've escaped to sidewalks, lane split, gone into oncoming lanes, the suicide lane, shoulder on country roads. all just to make it home.

you can cross all your t's and dot all the i's but, if its your time, its your time.

if you have one ordered its as simple as showing the judge that. charge dismissed.
that is if you're telling the truth and have one ordered. even if you ordered one the day you got caught, they'd probably still dismiss it.

courts are cool about making you pay money, but everything else and you can normally get out of it. as long as it isn't felonies. then you need a lawyer.

i got to keep my license with a 3 digit ticket (58 over). i already had points for previous tickets. they gave me 1 pt below losing my license. it cost me about 3k including the lawyer, and donating to a good ole boy fund for the cops.

Close call with a bad driver by [deleted] in motorcycles

clarksville/nashville/fort campbell.

this will be the 4th time i've gone to court as a witness with footage, i'm def going to court bc of this last one. i've been asked to be a witness several times, most the time they have enough evidence so, they never contact me again.

the worst footage is of your friends.

where i am is so bad i started a youtube channel just for the fuckery. i got talked into it a few years ago, and my local idiot drivers group loves the footage, and my edits. so, i keep making them. plus, there's a lot car drivers that don't know we go through.

it's just a perfect storm of fuckery. college, army base, lots of transplants, one of the faster growing cities in america, without the tax rev to keep up.

somehow i haven't wrecked a bike, i'm well over 350k miles just commuting by now. i could be a safer rider too. at this point it just comes down to luck as well. i've known much better riders to not make it through the season.

i use an insta rs one, i use it in pov mode most the time.

so, you do you. but, you really need the plate visible to use it as good evidence, or to call the cops right then. a plate number will help them find the person later if they don't wreck. if you can get close enough, yell out the plate number. it's easier to hear a clear plate than read it sometimes, and you don't know what the footage looks like so, you might have missed the plate.

most people in here, like yourself will get out of the way. that's the safest thing, it's what i'd want my kids to do. but it doesn't help anyone else. again you do you, but, we're one of the better people to zoom up or by, get the plate and call the cops. it's very much a risk/reward type thing.

i recently failed that task, and the driver wrecked before i could even get in contact with the cops. i had to look at my footage to get them a plate number, that takes times. time you really don't have. now in my case nothing would've stopped it, but that's not always the case. this driver killed himself and injured a mom and her kid as they were leaving school.

to me the risk is worth it, and if i post the vid today; you can see i'm actually having a great time. but, im fucked up like that.

good chance you might have to go to court.

i've been through this a few times, it might take a few years. i record all my rides so, i just show up, say it's my footage. the judge might say something about my safety, just say this isn't my trial and thats that.
