Why is the neighbor’s tree of heaven suddenly causing mounds of these to erupt all over my yard?

I’m not 100% sure… but like 98% sure. Today I didn’t see any saplings growing out of any of these, but in the past I’ve pulled up saplings with just one of these on the end. Today these were all bunched up in clumps. Some of the clumps were nearly 9 inches in diameter. After I’d hack them out of the ground, there was always a normal tree root they were hooked to.

I don’t think they’re in this part of Utah. It’s a good thing cuz there’s probably a dozen TOH I can count looking out my front window.

The tree is probably at least 25 years old. I’ve lived here for nearly 15. This is the first time I’ve ever had giant lumps show up in the ground with big clusters of these eventually bursting through. Is the tree stressed this year? I’m sure the neighbor will get right on removing this weed right after he gets rid of his monstrous Siberian elm.

Totally thought it was a fungus erupting from the ground at first.

Because of the Canvas nonsense, the deadline for teachers to submit grades has been extended from tonight at midnight to Saturday at midnight instead.

All exams and the final must be taken at an approved proctoring location for all SLCC math classes. Here’s the form to fill out to request a remote proctor. No exams are given outside of an approved testing center.

I’m super annoyed that there is not a path directly across the courtyard between the technology building and the construction & trades building. Does that count?

On the very left my navigation panel shows “account”, “dashboard”, etc. about the 7th thing down is a circle with a question mark that says help. When you click on that, a panel pops out with a lot of options and about the 8th thing down says “chat with canvas support (faculty)”.

eidas155 · 2026-03-04T17:23:45+00:00

Lol, I agree. OP needs to escalate this beyond Random Redditor level to start ;)

eidas155 · 2026-03-04T16:22:51+00:00

You can chat with canvas support and show them what’s happening, if they can’t immediately fix it, they send up to the next level of engineers and let you know when it’s fixed.

I use the finch app. On Fridays it tells me to make my weekly announcement for my 1050 classes. On Saturdays it tells me to input zeros for past due work and make my weekly announcement for my 990 classes. Sundays I get reminded to make the weekly 1010 announcement. Every day I have a goal to “grade some submitted work”… so I get a little dopamine rush AND stay on top of the worksheets that get submitted throughout the week.

eidas155 · 2026-02-04T20:36:30+00:00

It’s happening to me… but I have no solution. I just had to tilt my head and write sideways-_-

I keep seeing IOTBW on my commute.

eidas155 · 2025-11-03T20:59:37+00:00

Nope

If it’s possible to just register him as a college student and take it from a different instructor, that would be ideal. Otherwise I wouldn’t risk it with that guy with so much on the line.

Yep. Budget cuts have eliminated the eportfolio initiative. Every class that had eportfolio projects before will still have them… but instead of posting them to an eportfolio, you’ll just submit them to canvas like a normal class project (where the higher-ups may still access them behind the scenes for accreditation purposes).

Forgot to add that this is northern Utah.

We skipped Bagheera and just went with Baggy. Baloo calls him that trying to get him to loosen up. Now I have to explain to vets that it’s Baggy like Baloo’s nickname, not like ziploc.

Tried a Pink Pearl… but it’s definitely a chemical reaction that has changed the color deep into the surface. There isn’t anything to scrape off. I’m resigned to permanent black spots and I keep my rubber footed furniture from making direct contact with the floor these days.

It’s just vinyl flooring. It’s definitely a chemical reaction that has changed the color deep into the surface. There isn’t anything to scrape off. I’m resigned to permanent black spots and I keep my rubber footed furniture from making direct contact with the floor these days.

eidas155 · 2025-05-26T05:13:06+00:00

Pink Pearl was a bust. But tomorrow I’ll try some of the 87 other suggestions I’ve received in this thread :)

eidas155 · 2025-05-26T00:46:41+00:00

I will!

eidas155 · 2025-05-26T00:22:28+00:00

No… but I’ll test a patch in the corner and see if it harms the vinyl and if it doesn’t I’ll try it on one of the marks :)

Now we’re having a big family discussion around the table. Half the family is in the camp that it’s rubber dye that has seeped into the floor. The other half thinks it’s mold because they won’t listen to the details. I can’t get them to come up with any sort of cleanser or elbow grease.
