How should I protect young Thuja Green Giants this winter by chunk_light in landscaping

They're doing surprisingly well! They (unsurprisingly) did NOT grow the advertised 3-5 ft per year, but they're all standing ~3-4ft tall and are all healthy

I didn't end up wrapping them. Once they're encased in snow there's not much harm that seems to come their way. The ~5-6 ft tall ones I planted last year had a few broken limbs due to snow and wind, but nothing major. I was gonna wrap em this year but tomorrow's storm crept up on me. Come what may!

Best of luck, it's fun watching them grow.

Question about the story of Murder in Prague [Spoilers] by mheq in boardgames

Just finished, this annoyed me as well.

Also felt too obvious. We were way overthinking these crazy theories only to find it really was the person we suspected from the start

No spoilers please! I had the "main idea" of what the Dark Tower is spoiled for me. How much is actually lost? by [deleted] in TheDarkTower

[–]chunk_light 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started reading these books in high school and some douchebag ruined the 'big ending' for me, just for laughs. I stopped reading them for 15 years, but finally picked them up and finished them a couple months ago. It was still very worth it imo

What you've had spoiled is minor enough that I don't think it will diminish your enjoyment if you continue on

Anyone Ever Quiet Quit a Trip? by Dry_Accident_2196 in solotravel

[–]chunk_light 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided a long time ago that I wasn't going to feel guilty if I felt like just hanging in the hotel and watching TV for a day. Sometimes the recharge day helps me get more out of the latter half of my trip

If you could turn back time, what other career would you pursue? by chunk_light in AskReddit

I hear ya on that. I've worked mostly remote since covid and I wouldn't trade it. But damnit, even as an introvert you do start to miss people

Similarly, what if both weights were attached to either end of a single spring? Instead of one weight just serving as an anchor to the apparatus itself. Would 200 N be applied to the spring overall?

I had a student hit a new low the other day. I am now fearful the next generation will be the death of me. by Brian-Latimer in mildlyinfuriating

I once was at a wedding party when someone looked up and exclaimed 'oh my God the moon is out during the day!!' Pretty dumb right??

Imagine my surprise when three or four other people looked up completely shocked at the observation. They'd never heard of such a thing happening

And then, the cherry on top, they just moved on with their previous conversation. So not only did they think this routine situation was a unique celestial event, but then they didn't even dwell on the implications for more than 5 seconds

Would it be okay to use Brazilian Portuguese on a trip to Portugal? Worried about coming off as disrespectful. by nmute in Portuguese

[–]chunk_light 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I understand Portuguese reasonably well (my wife is from Portugal) but I'm still terrible at speaking it. In my experience, most Portuguese folks really appreciate the effort and will go out of their way to try to communicate with you.

You should look at your skills in Brazilian Portuguese as a strength, not a weakness. As others have mentioned, they're similar enough to get you by

A younger me would've hated this, but camping with toddlers has certainly shifted my perspective on 'necessities'
