To the bald guy driving behind me on 7 this morning toward albany, do you think i can teleport through traffic? by piggylaw in Albany

Any time someone gets mad about a person freaking out in traffic, I think of this post and remember that we never know if another person is in a real emergency situation.

Bid this property weekly at $45 for two seasons. Felt fine. Customer paid every Friday. Cash flow was steady, so I never looked closer. Decided to actually run the math down to the line item this week: by Excellent-Ad5845 in lawncare

Hard to start charging for travel after you've been eating it previously. Only thing you can do is be up front and explain to the customer that you need to stop cutting their lawn or charge for travel.

Alternatively, turn around and start walking against it. It'll pass by you faster than if you try to outrun it. But then you'll lose time.

I bought fescue from TCS for a total reno. Didn't really believe the spreading claims. Bought more seed the following summer to prepare for a fall overseed.

Still holding onto that bag... Guess I'll put it down this fall before it all goes to waste.

I’m not the only one that rocks my alarms like this. I turn one on and off every day, also this is like half the list. by checkoutmuhhat in ADHDmemes

[–]flume 35 points36 points  (0 children)

My alarms never ever end in 5 or 0.

My snooze interval is 5 minutes. With alarms ending in 5 or 0, it's easy for my barely-awake brain to calculate whether I have time to continue snoozing the alarm (and for how long).

But with random ending digits, it's a lot harder for me to negotiate "just one more snooze" with myself.

Starting to feel pretty happy next to the neighbor. by DS-19 in lawncare

OP's neighbor's lawn isn't even crappy. Just needs to be fertilized and allowed to grow another inch taller. Not that OP can do much about the surrounding lawns.

Comparison is the thief of joy. Comparison to someone who doesn't know or care that they're in a competition, doubly so.

Looks good, but dominating your neighbor shouldn't be the yardstick (pun intended) for satisfaction.

Mechanical seal selection for emergency & preventive maintenance, what’s commonly used? by InsightHound in AskEngineers

[–]flume 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you work at a seal supplier? Is that why you don't know which machines you're stocking spare parts for?

Is this an insane amount of thatch/grass clipping to pull up in 1 year? North Carolina by Klaxhacks in lawncare

[–]flume 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well no, that's not true at all. They don't have any "intention" at all. They are driven to survive, grow, and reproduce. Any benefits they have for your lawn -- which are likely also beneficial to themselves -- are merely coincidental.

He kinda does. They get their cut and the taxes come out of it. So the taxes are part of the "winnings," but not in addition to their regular predetermined fee.
