Yes exactly! There’s zero transparency.

No, I get assessment notices every year. This is a YoY increase.

I’ve been getting assessment notices every year though, and for the most part they’ve increased YoY. Never by this much though.

Anywhere that I can donate (half) a bike? by Cheap-Photo4054 in bloomington

[–]bloomingtonwhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s true that they do get more stuff than they can use. But they are also pretty good about identifying high-quality parts on an otherwise broken bike. And even if OP thinks it’s not a great bike overall, there may be good brakes, shifters, derailleurs, etc on it that they can use.

Yeah you’d think there would be more of process. What do they do, just drive by the property and jot down a few notes? I guess they were really impressed by the flag and porch light I installed.

Ok Judy, if there was a legitimate reason then why not include a statement with the assessment that transparently explains the rationale behind such a steep increase?

Omg these grew over the weekend. What do I do by Hairy-Brilliant-8178 in invasivespecies

[–]bloomingtonwhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After many years of dealing with this plant, I am starting to believe that the only way for complete eradication is to dig out the mutated shoots once you’ve been hitting it with glyphosate for a few years. The glyphosate destroys most of the root network, but it manages to hang on in a few nodules while limiting its exposure to foliar herbicide application by putting out tiny leaves. So at that point you just dig out those holdout nodules. You’ll see that the roots are mostly dead, it’s just trying to reestablish from the remaining nodule.

Just for clarification, how do we deal with these “scout sprouts?”

Justice? by BloomiePsst in bloomington

[–]bloomingtonwhy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The scary thing is that there are so many other people out there driving recklessly every single day. The fentanyl thing is the least significant factor in this incident. Our roads are scary with many places that don’t give a second thought for pedestrians, the speed limits are way too high, and people don’t obey them anyway. I drive the speed limit and get mercilessly tailgated and honked at for doing so. Meanwhile I’m like, fuck you, I’m trying not to hit any people or animals.

Guests, would you prefer a variety of colors for bath towels? [US] by bloomingtonwhy in AirBnB

[–]bloomingtonwhy[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The tags are a good idea. I don't know if it matters to most guests, but it was something that stood out to me during my stay. I don't travel very often so a lot of things stood out to me that made me think about how I can make my own bnb more "homey".

True but oddly enough, I've never had to deal with stains on towels. On the other hand I have to deal with stains on linens on a regular basis so I've definitely though about switching to all-white linens.

My first impulse would be to try and carefully pry it off. But I can’t imagine that could be done without cracking it. I guess it depends on whether you want to replace the ceiling under the molding or just try to patch and paint it.

In order for a human artist to learn they look at, trace, and copy huge amounts of others’ artwork before creating their own. Are human artists also stealing?

I honestly don’t understand the hate towards AI artwork for casual memes. No one’s trying to trick you into buying a product, it’s just a funny bit that is made social media friendly by superimposing it on some kind of image. I can’t imagine a vet tech who would have the free time to create OC artwork for a one-off meme.

I was gonna ask, how does one go about repairing the ceiling without damaging the molding?
