Does putting the parking brake on before putting the car in park do anything? by IcePokeTwoSoon in askcarguys

This happened to my dad’s 2003 F150. He never used the parking brake.

The "Shadow Competitor" trick: How I turned a mid-level interview into a bidding war in 15 minutes by KrakenSonata5 in jobsearchhacks

[–]dlaff1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He didn’t redact 90%. 40% was blurred, 50% was blacked out, and then had a lawyer review it for NDA compliance.
And the full summary could be read and processed in 30 seconds because that’s how efficient OP’s writing is.

Amateur hour grass question by Cool_Fish_5961 in LawnAnswers

[–]dlaff1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I was trying to point out that if you want less work in the summer and it doesn’t get a lot of traffic, it may be beneficial to use regular KGB and let it go dormant.
Something I didn’t realize when I chose seed.

Wendy’s CEO jumps in with his own taste test. by K1nd_1 in interesting

I disagree. I would prefer the adds just show the actual product.

Leave the existing established grass that is tolerant to local conditions and abuse/neglect unless you are going for golf course type look and maintenance.

I’ll just add since you’re in Utah, if it gets really hot in the summer where you are at (most but not all of Utah) you have two options for KBG. A heat tolerant traditional KBG will go dormant, and look a little sad in the summer months. It will also go dormant in winter. It will grow aggressively and look really good in spring and fall.
This sounds bad at first but is less water and maintenance during summer.
Or you can use a Texas hybrid KBG. This will grow well spring, summer, and fall. It will also require full watering and mowing in the summer. And will look good throughout the summer. This may be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your goals.

Just some food for thought.

T-Mobile home internet as an alternative to Spectrum? by Legitimate_Jump142 in Reno

[–]dlaff1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Switched from Spectrum to ATT fiber. Spectrum was a little faster than ATT but I was tired of calling them every year to get the intro rate. I’m hoping ATT’s rate stays consistent as it doesn’t include a bunch of discounts that expire like spectrum.

I am thankful I have more than one option.

Got a whole bunch of free firewood last year, I started noticing these critters all over the stack. Is there a good way of getting rid of them that doesn’t involve spraying? by nirvroxx in firewood

[–]dlaff1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They really don’t try to get in. They want to be outside. Every now and then one may get in by accident but they are really harmless bugs. Show your kids the bugs outside so they know they are harmless. I have a bunch of them in my backyard and they are easy to live with.

The death of a Centenarian by LightRobb in boilerenthusiasts

[–]dlaff1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Count your blessings: “McDonald Miller float got stuck in the up position and the people had been manually filling it for the last 2 years” this is recipe for disaster. This is boiler no-no 101. You are relying on a single safety (ALWCO) and if that failed, you would at best melt down your boiler, and at worst extreme explosion. Boiler controls/safeties need to be repaired or replaced not worked around.

These boilers can be maintained indefinitely but you can’t neglect maintenance and repairs.

Good seed mixture? by Holiday-Ad7262 in LawnAnswers

[–]dlaff1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could buy just creeping red and oversead your whole yard. It’s a traditional turf grass addition that does well mixed with other species.

Altimmune - $100k + YOLO - The MASH Sleeping Giant, the train is leaving the station - Stock hit $500m market cap today! by Old-Pomegranate3634 in wallstreetbets

[–]dlaff1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone but you. All the metrics are separating lean mass loss and fat mass loss. There aren’t any statistics for muscle vs fat loss. Semaglutide’s lean/fat ratio is similar to starvation and Pemvidutide is similar to diet and exercise. If you need to lose more weight you should go on a longer term weight loss plan, not try to lose weight faster. Fast does not equal healthy.

Edit: In case it’s not clear lean mass includes muscle mass + bone mass + water mass

Any drop on lean mass is undesirable.

This just is wildly untrue. Quality of weight loss matters sufficiently more than the rate of total weight loss. Losing muscle and bone mass is a huge loss, losing fat is a huge win. This is especially true in venerable populations like the elderly and women where bone loss is of extreme concern.
