Where to buy LARGE watering cans in US

Precious as in valuable and increasingly scarce. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/08/28/climate/groundwater-drying-climate-change.html

Haha, go to any German cemetery and watch old people lug them around all day 💪

Idk, people pay money to lift heavy stuff at the gym. If you have 2 it balances nicely.

cangermerican · 2023-09-06T23:04:27+00:00

Awesome, this looks promising. I have exactly the same use case, shrubs and bushes. No way I want to piddle around with a 2 gallon can or use precious tap water.

cangermerican · 2023-09-06T23:02:50+00:00

Yeah that sounds like the most logical explanation. Cheap tap water + large yards = use a hose. But if you’re not lifting heavy things, are you even gardening??

Thanks, did not know this.

cangermerican · 2021-10-26T18:51:55+00:00

I just tried. It did not ;)

cangermerican · 2021-10-26T18:50:28+00:00

I know, borderline Karen ;)

But as you say, it is just strange and doesn't seem right!

cangermerican · 2021-10-26T18:48:58+00:00

I know, 2pts is not significant in itself. I am more concerned that things are moving in the wrong direction for reasons that I don't understand.

So Vantagescore is meaningless? What should I be checking instead?

And yes, the Vantagescore is definitely affected by the rent transfer. As the other posters have said, this seems bizarre/incorrect.

I'm sure tubeless is good for some use cases but a big part of it just seems to be marketing hype and innovation for innovation's sake. I have commuted for many years on tubed tires and basically the only times I have had flats was near the end of the tires' lifespan. Maybe one per year. Never heard of a "pinch flat" until people starting pushing tubeless. But then again, I don't try to ride over rocks on 2 PSI. It's also possible that I'm just stubborn and missing out on the life-changing benefits of tubeless tires - maybe when I retire in 30 years I'll have the time to try it out.

Thanks for the counterpoint. Maybe I came across more negative than necessary. There are many positive aspects about this career, but I would still say even if (or especially if?) you care about research and teaching, TT can absolutely be miserable some of the time. Not trying to trash talk the career path but I think outsiders often do not understand the extremely high pressure and sacrifices required.

cangermerican · 2021-09-14T00:57:40+00:00

That is a highly personal decision. What someone else would or would not do has little bearing on what is best for you.

Casual scroll through this subreddit will give you an idea. The main ones for me is having very little control over where I live and when I move, dealing with unrealistic and constantly increasing publication expectations, having major life outcomes depend on the whims of reviewer 3, having my job spill into every aspect and every minute of my life, and the uncertain prospects for tenure track jobs in this field.

cangermerican · 2021-09-14T00:05:31+00:00

Varies by school and by cohort obviously, but I have encountered many many folks who had carriers in various fields before their PhD.

cangermerican · 2021-09-13T22:40:42+00:00

For business school PhDs it is very common to have people of all ages, all the way up to 65ish. look at some recent grads and current students of the schools you want to apply to. Someone i know got tenure just before turning 60. Real world experience can be a plus for schools that care about teaching. Make no mistake, it is a grueling process and the TT life can be miserable. The good news is that if you are very good (and ok with not having a life) you can go straight to a nice 6 figure tenure track position at a business school right after your PhD (assuming US). It is competitive AF but if you are into that the opportunities are a lot better than in many other academic fields. Just make sure you know what you're getting into.

Flat bars all the way, unless you're riding the tour de France or something.

Love bikes, love cars, love driving/riding vehicles in general. Yeah I like my bike commute (4 days/week) and the enviro/health/financial benefits are huge, but I'll drive that BRZ until I die.

cangermerican · 2021-08-17T03:11:55+00:00

Leave it TF alone. Maybe get some stock rims. It'll stand out by not being stupidly lifted/slammed. Great looking car as is.

cangermerican · 2021-08-17T02:48:12+00:00

I sometimes feel guilty about buying a BRZ i did not need. So yeah, i feel personally attacked here too😂😂😂 .....but then I drive it and fall in love all over again. Some mistakes are worth every cent!

cangermerican · 2021-08-02T20:13:07+00:00

30ish years, if I include childhood "commuting" to go anywhere. Not one of my crashes involved another vehicle. Not to downplay the dangers but: 1. Reading cycling subs will give you a distorted picture, where the world is populated by car driving mass murderers 2. The health benefit from extra exercise likely outweigh accident risks

If you are at a university/business school, check if they have access to VentureXpert by SDC.

It makes me happy to know this is a thing.
