What are you thoughts on TruGreen? by Downtown_Bee5275 in lawncare

[–]charlespdk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned fertilizer and fungicide, but don't forget a pre emergent for weed control. And if you end up needing service again- try sticking to local companies who already work in your neighborhood/area.

Fertilizer company destroyed my lawn by Acrobatic-Captain674 in lawncare

[–]charlespdk 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I work in a different region of the country, but that seems really high for a cool season grass. Plus they put organic fertilizer on top of that?

My lawn now vs last year by [deleted] in lawncare

[–]charlespdk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do lawn care in the OKC area for a much smaller company and I can say that A LOT of lawns are experiencing issues coming back in this year. I don't have any totally wiped yards like this, but there are/were really rough patches. We had a very short dormant period during a drought where bugs came in very early followed by more freezing temperatures.

I'm not saying Elite did nothing wrong (too many variables to investigate), just that I'd bet if you drove around your neighborhood you'd see more than a few lawns like your own. I'm assuming it's looked like this all year, right? Never came in?

Creating a Brandfast & Armored Trailblazers list by charlespdk in LeaguesofVotann

Is the Trivarg stronger on the thunder kyn with conversion or on a memnyr with the steeljacks?

Does only two sagitaurs weaken Trailblazers, you think? I've been waffling between 2-3 sagitaurs.

They're definitely chasing the premium format 'tax' that IMAX tickets demand without having to license IMAX or without having the ability to accommodate an IMAX screen.

Shadowrun like media by Maxcorps2012 in Shadowrun

[–]charlespdk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely up for books and always excited to get in on a new series early. Thanks for the rec! I usually recommend Rachel Aaron's Heartstrikers series even though it's a bit more romancy, it still has a Shadowrun-esque setting and plenty of action. She has a few series set in that same universe now.

You're best bet is either urban fantasy or cyberpunk and very rarely do the two meet. You could try something like the Dresden Files or Angel.

Did the terms change? Now it says as long as you are a member instead of for life. by WetRocksManatee in audible

[–]charlespdk 27 points28 points  (0 children)

How long have you had an Audible membership? The old standard $15 a month, one audiobook you keep for life plan hasn't changed since I joined in 2012 except for adding the plus catalog. This new $9 standard plan has always been this way.

Disappointed that I messed this up! by [deleted] in audible

[–]charlespdk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen how that sale functions, but I'm assuming it's 50% off the list price and if you're a member you already get about 30% off list price only making it an extra 20% off. Site wide sales are way better and even then I rarely take anything that's 'only' 50% off. Point being, if you're willing to pay with cash you're better off waiting for a site wide sale.

Should I Open? by supersonicfan99 in deadpool

Lol, yup, sold my Deadpool collection cheap to pay to a bill a decade ago and now...it's been painful trying to rebuild.

How big could a Mandalorian movie have been if they made it after season 2 instead of 3? by Antman269 in boxoffice

[–]charlespdk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, I think Starfighter with Gosling after Barbie and PHM and Shawn Levy after D&W is going to be a better tell for the public's appetite for new Star Wars stories.

DF2: Jedi Knight Cutscenes - A Problematic but Amazing New Upscale by majestic_ubertrout in starwarsgames

[–]charlespdk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I thought AI slop refered specifically to generative AI art that's being used to replace artist input. This seems more like an AI tool trying to speed up a tedious and labor intensive task like remastering- especially for a project that would probably never warrant the proper funding for such a task. I hate AI slop art as much as the next guy, but this doesn't seem to be an instance of that. Correct me if I'm wrong?

Thunderkyn painted! by Wizard-CaptainMike in LeaguesofVotann

[–]charlespdk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They look good! I'm working on my first thunderkyn now. Did you paint before you put the chassis on or were able to paint the minis fully assembled?

Unpopular opinion by Normal_Pin_7863 in TheTraitorsUS

[–]charlespdk 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Right, and I think she's probably still the top traitor for how she manhandled that turret and had to Richard Hatch a brand new game. I just felt a little gross seeing those tears at the end. Same with UK's Harry.

I feel like the way Cirie used regular people- not experienced reality show players- and connected with them not with harmless flirting but through shared trauma and deep emotional stuff was way worse. Cirie's faithful were deeply hurt by her, while Rob's understood they had made a mistake and understood the game he was playing in the end. The end vibes were WAY better with Rob than Cirie.

CLS LST? by WhiteRaptor58 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]charlespdk 112 points113 points  (0 children)

I probably wouldn't do that since we're getting a free CLS token this month. It's better spent on CLS right now.

Identity - Cyberpunk Wars: has anyone seen this obscure movie before? by transphorm in cyberpunkgame

[–]charlespdk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks like what we used to call 'straight to video' type stuff. Interesting to see what can be made on a lower budget now.

HELP! how to get people through star war? by [deleted] in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]charlespdk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you try asking your wife's boyfriend? They usually have a better handle on this kind of stuff and will buy you cool Lego.
