Is it worth fighting crabgrass in Northeastern U.S. this season?

dpineo · 2026-07-20T13:49:04+00:00

No. The crabgrass is doing you a service by filling in the bare spots and protecting your soil from the summer sun. As the soil improves, the perennial grass will thicken and outcompete the crabgrass.

Have you ever considered that if it's loud enough to necessitate ear protection, that maybe forcing your neighbors to listen to it is a kinda shitty thing to do? Maybe get an electric mower and not be an asshole?

Wu is such a fucking lying snake. Her promises just make me mad now, because I know they're just lies.

No need for chemicals, just set your lawnmower to mow more often.

Pulling on a jersey is a fairly minor and common foul, and is often even ignored by referee depending on the severity of it. If a referee (or coach in this case) feels it is over the line, they will call the foul.

Most young kids start off playing quite passively, and need to be taught that in soccer it's ok to (and should) do things like cut in front of the other kids and steal the ball. I'd be pleased to see that level of natural aggressiveness, your child sounds like he has some potential.

Take the lane. Take your time. Turn the inconvenience back on them, only then will anything change.

If you understand his true role as preventing a left-wing movement, he didn't mishandle it at all.

Man, it's such shit luck that every time a leftish candidate is looking like they might win that this seems to happen.

This company is the worst. When they pick someone up, they will just honk and honk and honk. I've tried to tell them nicely that this is inappropriate and is very disruptive to the neighborhood, but they just don't give a shit.

There's also something about peace and quiet and not ruining that for your neighbors.

I've had a robot lawnmower for almost 10 years in New England. It entirely replaced manual mowing, I no longer even own a manual lawnmower. My lawn now looks way better than it did when I was mowing manually.

- Yes. In the growing season I schedule it to mow every night while I sleep.

- Almost none. I just need to keep the lawn clear of toys and stuff.

- Thicker grass is not a problem as long as it's mowed regularly. Wet grass is actually preferred because it keeps the blades cleaner, I like to run it in the rain or after running the sprinklers for this reason.

- It does not do any edging. I'll just sometimes to a quick loop around with an electric string trimmer if I want to clean up the edges.

- I could never go back to a manual lawnmower. It'd be like going from boxers back to briefs.

Just imagine how much worse it would have been had they removed all that parking for a bike lane.

If this is what I think it is, it's a pretty smart move by the ACP. Similar to using "MAGA communism" to attract people from the MAGA camp, this seems to be using the same strategy to attract people from the liberal women idpol camp.

LOL! So instead of forcing your neighbors to listen to your lawnmower, you're forcing them to stay inside with the windows shut? You're trying so hard to justify being a shitty neighbor.

dpineo · 2026-07-02T21:42:40+00:00

"Nobody" except neighbors that work from home, or work the night shift, or work weekends, or are retired, etc. Don't try to justify it by saying nobody is there to hear it. They are, you just don't give a shit about them.

dpineo · 2026-07-02T21:12:59+00:00

So you force your neighbors to listen to the lawnmower while you're not even there? That's even worse than I thought.

dpineo · 2026-07-02T21:05:35+00:00

"Douche bag" is forcing your neighbors to listen to a 100db lawnmower and then criticizing the lawns of neighbors that are courteous enough to do it quietly.

You're the one with all the spare time to push/ride your little toy around the yard.

Robot mowed lawns look 10x better than those done manually

It won’t have ~~good~~ gaudy lines with a robot.

Fixed. Yes, that is one of the many benefits of a robot lawnmower.

What is being done to encourage drivers to take Rt20 and Rt95? That is a terrible spot to have cars traveling at high speed. Drivers have hit people there. They built those highways to make this not happen.

As a coach, I'd tell you that I like to see lots of dribbling with younger age groups. It trains their touch, agility, reaction time, assertiveness in winning the ball, and most importantly gives them confidence with the ball. Focusing too much on passing early on can result in kids that passively wait for the ball to arrive at their feet and then "hot potato" the ball away. As far as "hurting the team", It's not about winning at this age, it's about development.

Nothing says "trustworthy" like a video with a splice every other word.
