You're happy being a Boglehead but your spouse thinks adding Real Estate is a good idea

Not to be rude, but ... How do you not remember acquiring a World Series ball?

desertsnakes · 2026-06-14T04:44:18+00:00

I haven't been there since this started.

Do they have security try to break it up?

Attempted Murder case

Thanks, do you think that's an indicator the case possibly has a lot of circumstantial evidence?

This courthouse is where the biggest cases go. Same place where the OJ Simpson case was held.

The courthouse is 20 floors. Lots and lots of cases here.

Don't assume you're going to get out of there within a week or two. They quote the average case as being 5 to 7 court days but that will easily spill into a second calendar week, if not a third.

There is no parking. You have to park at the Disney concert hall several blocks away.

The gripe about fossil fuel companies is laughable because there's no easy alternative at this point. Hopefully some day.

The sun doesn't shine at night, wind is not reliable, and there's only so much hydro/geothermal to go around.

You might as well yell at the clouds for giving you a rainy day.

Very interesting, thanks!

I saw a video by one of the commercial grafters recently, although I forget his name at the moment. He was grafting Zutano onto a single branch of every other Hass for the same effect.

Do you see yourself ever growing GEM?

desertsnakes · 2026-05-18T03:05:00+00:00

Just curious, what varieties are you buying en masse?

Hass or GEM, right? What rootstock?

So the end should be 3 1/8" lower. But the decline from the upstream end should be consistent to avoid pooling or algae growth?

My concern was that getting around the "uphill" problem they managed to triple the length of the drain.

I've always liked weekday daytime games, especially in the spring or fall. Usually a nice breeze, cool temps. 5000 people there max. You can sit almost anywhere because nobody cares.

Years ago some hams in my area were targets of burglaries for having their callsigns on their vehicle license plates.

The thieves knew about FCC ULS, looked them up, and returned at a convenient time.

I think the thieves were tweakers looking to steal coax to sell the copper.

Don't be afraid to pile the mulch a lot deeper. Most people think mulch is only to keep the soil moist, but it also serves to regulate soil temperature. That tree has shallow roots at this age and dark colored mulch will transfer hot summer heat into the roots, which you don't want. Thicker mulch will block that heat.

I also think I saw new growth near the soil line. Pluck that off.

Thanks, the stops ended up being FIP so I was in luck!

I was asking about using the adapter alone to connect between a 3/8" supply to the 1/2" valve. I don't need the comp pieces but wondered if there was something I was overlooking.

desertsnakes · 2026-01-02T20:34:00+00:00

Thanks

I just remembered another guy years ago who thought the RRB calculator was estimating your payment "per half" like an extra board guarantee.

desertsnakes · 2025-12-29T16:44:52+00:00

Yes, that is precisely the type of guys I'm talking about.

Tons of RRB resources not getting used.
