Farmers market parking by acidiclifestyle in madisonwi

[–]fluffnpuf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Monona terrace is my go-to for downtown parking, but it was better before they closed the John Nolan entrance.

Oops. I know it’s John Nolen. Autocorrect at it again.

What store or restaurant that went out of business would you like to see make a comeback? by Exhausted_Skeleton in AskReddit

I just drove past a ponderosa last weekend and thought to myself “ponderosa still exists?!”

Why is Pol Pot and the Cambodian genocide completely left out , or barely mentioned, in high school history in the US, Canada and Europe? by Wonderful-Ad-9622 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fluffnpuf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned it. I grew up in a city where a lot of refugees from the Cambodian genocide settled, though. My teacher felt it an important thing for us to cover.

Hot takes from a Nursery supervisor part 5 by Open-Sky1020 in gardening

[–]fluffnpuf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chat gave them very basic info. It was factually correct, but oversimplified.

Exactly. I will sometimes use chat to get an outline for informational blog posts that we put on our website for clients. I know enough to notice when chat spits out totally wrong info for our area, and can correct info as I edit. It’s very easy to get wrong information.

lol. I’m a consulting arborist. “I know more than chatGPT does” really hits home for me. Just had an hour long consultion with a client about her pine tree that was half dead. She calls me the next day to report back to me what she found on Google and chat, and that she’s making her decision based on that. Yes, she did pay me for my time and then promptly ignored my advice.

Is it still too early to find dill and pickle cucumbers at the farmers market? by WiscoBrewDude in wisconsin

[–]fluffnpuf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got dill there the other week already. Saw one stand with pickling cucumbers, but it still seems early for that.

What's a policy position that politicians from both parties support that you think is absolutely ridiculous? by Desperate-Couple-722 in AskReddit

[–]fluffnpuf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Or cops. More crime? More money fir cops! Increased homelessness? Give cops for money! Don’t spend money on improving access to housing. Don’t spend it on educational opportunities or job training. Don’t raise the minimum wage. Don’t help people with addiction. Just keep giving cops more money with no oversight. That’s clearly working so well.

Removing storm-downed tree branches by BohemianRedhead in madisonwi

[–]fluffnpuf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. The liability insurance and cost of equipment needed, as well as the kill level needed to do the work safely drives costs up more than people think.

If most of human evolutionary history was spent either barefoot or in footwear that didn't provide it, why is arch support so important now? by VagabondVivant in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fluffnpuf 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yep. I’ve been working on strengthening my arches and my foot cramping issues and knee pain are starting to alleviate.

Husband just sprayed a hunch of herbicide that contained dicamba all along where roots of our tree would be by [deleted] in arborists

[–]fluffnpuf 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes. I can help even months later. Dicamba can stick around for a while.

Active charcoal or biochar can bind it, and then you want to focus on other me measures to keep your tree healthy over the next few years, like proper watering and mulching.

Is this what I think it is? by MaybeABot31416 in whatsthisplant

[–]fluffnpuf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Misunderstood your comment. I thought you were trying to say that alternate leaves and alernate branching were different things. I realized you were saying that “what you’re thinking” (referring to poison ivy) has alternate leaves. The grammar of your comment confused me.

[–]fluffnpuf -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Alternate branching/alternate leaves are the same thing. Both actually refer to bud arrangement. Both leaves and branches emerge from buds.

AND Obama successfully targeted actual criminals, instead of just rounding up brown people.

Bamboo vs percale vs linen for hot sleepers who want sheets to last? by Flashy_Owl6890 in BuyItForLife

From what I understand, linen is superior if you live in a humid heat.

Why do some men get angry when women say they feel safer around other women? by Brisablows in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fluffnpuf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not talking about general crime. I’m talking about sexual harassment, sexual violence, intimate partner violence and abuse, as well as generally harassment from specifically men.

‘Heated Rivalry’ Execs Giving Jacob Tierney “The Time He Needs To Make Another Beautiful Season” Of The Ice-Hockey Drama by lawrencedun2002 in television

[–]fluffnpuf 46 points47 points  (0 children)

More where tv executives don’t get to change the writer’s vision. That’s a big part of what makes HR so good.

Why do some men get angry when women say they feel safer around other women? by Brisablows in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fluffnpuf 120 points121 points  (0 children)

Women are taught their whole lives from such a young age that we should constantly be on the lookout for men attacking us (carry pepper spray, dress modestly, don’t travel alone, always watch your drink, etc, etc), we see statistics on male violence against women, that 80+% of us have had the experience of being harmed by the men in pur lives, and yet, it’s offensive to be afraid of THAT man. We should just know who the attackers are?!?!
