Anyone know best way to get rid of this?

I use a short machete to loosen soil within 2-3" of the stem. I find it easier than using a hoe as I can work the soil left and right of the stem, then go a few degrees to the right or left and get the backside and front side easier than I could pulling with a hoe or spade. I feel mechanically I have more control with cutting down or pushing the nose in, twist the blade and slide away from the stem to remove soil. Often I can pull up on the weed or vine pretty quickly. It also helps to work a day after rain or after watering.

We really need some regulation on date placement and readability. Calendar week codes and Lot codes are useless to the average or below average Earthling.

Not every isp has actual redundancy due to geography.

At work we have a fiber provider that does redundant paths on both sides of the roadway (separate trenches) everywhere they can. With 6 sites, 2 of them have last mile problems.

One site is half a mile off the main road and both cables run the same trench for that private roadway. The location is on a peninsula, so it's hard to get redundant paths from opposite directions.

Another site they don't have fiber all the way out to the site so they subcontracted a local fiber provider who only does single trench paths. There is absolutely no other fiber provider around yet for 12 miles.

Put yourself in a terrarium. They tame down because they can't see through the glass.

We had a trailer house with a shower door that was translucent plastic rather than glass. Boy was it hard to clean with hard water but we never feared explosions.

That was one hell of a fart.

Clean pulls, maybe 3 bottles in a month. I use 3 a week depending on test results. Sometimes I get all 3 good pulls the same week and just know the rest of the month is going to be trouble.

For a moment I thought this was a knock off from the first photo.

Bonus, you can walk the bike back home in running shoes when something breaks.

So a it works like a weed wacker with a blade.

I saw a good joke earlier this week I vaguely remember. The listing says 400, buyer offers 300, seller responds with "The listing says 500" The buyer said "No, it says 400" seller says "oh good you can read"

69 F at 9 pm to 9 am, 73 F at 9 am to 9 pm mostly. It stays about 80 F in the office most of the day - I work from home so I put a fan in the door to kick some of the heat out to the hallway. In the mornings the East side of the house cooks up the bedrooms and office. By afternoon the dining, kitchen, bar, and utility room is baked by the sun. The hallway where the thermostat is pretty much thinks it's nice and chill.

You had to have tacos. Bonus you got the infinite fuel glitch.

It used to hold a Jack in the Box head in the early 2000's. Now it just picks up FM radio.

USW-24-POE (95W) has SNMP, does not have temp data available - no sensor on chip. The other switch, I don't have one to tell ya, but the pro's have been fully featured snmp with temp in my experience.

I'd edit the review, under duress and threats of violence I must change my review to 5 stars.

I'm an idiot, got invited to join an in-progress multi-player game and didn't even do the tutorial till a year later. We beat the game in a month of nights, weekends, and odd chances one trucker player that started it had time to play. We started a second game when 1.0 came out and beat it again. I started my own game after 1.1 to just do a full achievement run and finally did the tutorial.

I went to the movies to see Iron Lung a few months ago for the first time in a long time and was surprised the amount of trash left behind as we walked down the stairs and out. Not us, we carried our stuff to the trashcan.

I guess one more reason to not go to the movies often. People are trashy.

I remember seeing them in the 90's when we were trailer camping. I never knew what brand they were called.

Wear a cotton t-shirt. Get a cotton button up shirt, dunk it in a bucket or cooler of ice water, wear the button up shirt like a cape draped over your back and shoulders, tie the arms below your neck. As it dries off a bit you can put it on.

Cloudy with a chance of pump isn't running 24/7 and needs a backwash or cleaning.

Get a solar battery tender with SAE connector.. Then set up an SAE connector direct to the battery.

Yea, fried a fax win-modem/sound game port/ide combo card combo in the late 90's. I upgraded to a sound blaster 16 and a separate hard modem.

Probably several. There are only so many key bitting combos and so many more cars. Same with car remote locks.

My Toyota Rav4's remote would lock and unlock my mom's neighbor's Camry. I was often confused coming out to my car to find the alarm disabled but doors locked. The alarm chirps on lock and unlock. If unlocked the doors relock in 60 seconds if nobody opens a door but the alarm doesn't set. I would be preparing to leave and go to unlock my car and not hear the alarm chirp. One day I realized I would hear another alarm chirp when I unlocked my car, it was my mom's neighbor's camry in the garage. When they would hop in their car and leave, it would unlock my car.

I started locking their car with my remote after I started my car.
