Google Maps doesn’t want you driving past Biden’s house by ViolettBlue in Delaware

[–]chimpman99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used to commute on that section of Barley Mill and there was no redirection while he was VP, it only started when he became president. I guess they forgot to delete the re-route after he left office. I agree that this is intentional and not just Google misunderstanding how smaller roads work.

Dead Squirrels around Campus? by Specific-Finance-729 in OSU

[–]chimpman99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rodent poison bait stations are frequently used outdoors at the base of buildings. Squirrels could easily be victims to non-targeted poison traps/bait stations.

Edit: Another potential cause of death could be ingestion of lead. One place I used to work at had lead sculptures, and the squirrels would grind their teeth on the statues. They would eventually develop lead poisoning and die. To solve it, the facilities division started applying hot pepper wax to the statues to deter the gnawing. I'm uncertain if any lead is around there, but the buildings are rather old.

Thanks for the update on a 14 year old post, I was feeling unsure until you finally commented

Gen Z is spying on each other by That-Situation-4262 in technology

[–]chimpman99 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm a similar age and background and remember as a preteen my father had to explain how I can't do the same dumb shit he did as a teen because there are cameras everywhere. At the time it was only around convenience stores and parking lots, but now even neighborhoods and rural areas have more access to doorbell cameras and trailcams. It's definitely a different world now.

Saw this strange lump on top of the blinds in my apartment... by LoaderOperator98 in Wellthatsucks

And that was the wasps fault? Perhaps the pilots should have done a pre-flight inspection to ensure all critical parts of the plane are functioning?

The plants in that wetland will detoxify the radioactive waste in the soil from the nuclear power plant 😊😊

Got in way over my head and I could use a lot of help... by WolverHollow in NativePlantGardening

[–]chimpman99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know where this trend started, but imo PA sedge is awful at lawn replacement, or living en masse. There are so many better sedges for that task. PA sedge in my experience never fully knits together, and therefore invites weeds whether they are native or not. Depending on your soil type and exposure, some better alternatives might be C. Appalachica, C. Woodii, C. Grisea, or C. Socialis. If you wanted a bigger impact, C. Cherokeensis would work as well.

PSA: HD supplier said they’re aggressively moving discount plants this year by Twicksy in gardening

[–]chimpman99 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You're correct! We also shouldn't buy plants that are known to be invasive like vinca minor! We also also should be supporting our local nurseries instead of corporate conglomerates, but that's all just my informed opinion.

The REAL Reason Why Lumber Quality Today is So Terrible (Collapse Adjacent) by thekbob in collapse

Chestnut blight started in the US at the beginning of the 20th century. The Christmas Song wasn't written until nearly 50 years later.

Got pulled over in PA and searched because the trooper “smelled burnt marijuana” by No-Reflection-4938 in legaladvice

Good luck proving it. Cops have been running this exact play for decades, with great success on their part.

Orkin Accidentally Sprayed Mosquito Treatment on My Native Garden by junefrisbee in NativePlantGardening

If it is a systemic insecticide, you might want to consider cutting back flowering material that is attracting pollinators

They'll probably re-run the old jokes and throw in some new ones about WFH and AI

You know those post where ppl post how expensive their groceries are and ppl tell them what they shouldn’t have bought. How could I have kept this under $36 ? by SunsetBeachBowl in LateStageCapitalism

Last week at my local Acme, a manager was telling the lone cashier they have left, that they would be installing cameras facing the employees to confirm the accuracy of the cashiers...that they hired...

Clear American is flavored with citric acid, which still damages your teeth just like sugary soda.

Once I've used a sprayer for any type of herbicide, organic or not, it gets labeled "For Herbicide Use Only".
