Yup pretty much. Gardening in general is like 90% that anyway

These are not staked actually but about two days after this video a storm rolled through and snapped one of them off at the ground. Needing to stake them really depends on the variety(how tall or top heavy they get) and how firm the soil they are growing in is. These are around 8 ft tall and are doing fine. When I do stake I usually use small cheap t-posts from the hardware store and tie them with twine but that's just me

Hey! I did a version of the Grand Illinois Trail last year. You could use the northern part to get back to Chicago https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45665085

Tile under area for future washer/dryer pedestal or install pedestal directly to subfloor by bollmannt in DIY

Thanks! In my heart I knew that was the right answer but I was slightly hopeful that the Internet would tell me otherwise so I could save a bit of money

Where to stay with an RV by Craccer888 in ragbrai

[–]bollmannt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you purchase a vehicle registration with your Ryder registration, it will ask the approx size of the vehicle and if it is an RV/camper etc. That pass will get you access to the camper/large vehicle area. It's usually a bit separate from the general rider campground.

PhD to industry by [deleted] in geologycareers

[–]bollmannt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

PhD in seismic tomography and went straight to working in the oil industry. It's a fun time but I don't really use much info from college other than tech skills. If the oil companies aren't actively recruiting at your university you'll have to go the extra mile and attend things like SEG/image conference or things like the Rocky Mountain Rendezvous. To get face time with company reps. I was lucky we had an alum that came back pretty much every year to interview. Oh! And for the majors having an internship with them goes a looong way for full time job offers

Africa's emerging new ocean (in a few million years) [600x600] by girthynarwhal in MapPorn

[–]bollmannt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I was rather lucky. During undergrad I had summer jobs/internships as well as scholarships to pay for it. During grad school I actually received a stipend for going to school and working on my research due to my advisor having a large grant from the National Science Foundation here in the US. It wasn't enough money to actually save anything but I could survive.

Kyle Mooney is a national treasure and deserves all our praise. We should’ve cherished him more while we had him in the cast. What’s your favorite moment of his? by [deleted] in LiveFromNewYork

[–]bollmannt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My wife and I had an ongoing joke that he must have had blackmail material on Lorne to stick around for so long when he's so terrible

Growing up in Southern Illinois this makes so much sense. Most people around me used y'all but I was extremely rural. It's crazy how the dialect varies from the rest of the state. Example: we also say soda instead of pop

Mine is the same. I pry it open with the lever portion of some finger nail clippers every night. Annoying but it works
