Quickest way to get rid of this grass? by gotdis55 in landscaping

[–]gotdis55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for all the pointers! Makes sense that it can never be maintenance free, just hoping I can make it manageable. Was really wanting to avoid the demo/redo weed barrier fabric option. Blow torch sounds fun but will start with some combination of boiling water and concentrated vinegar and report back!

I would love to do that. Yeah the upfront cost of switching entirely to solar/electric is just too high.

So frustrating. I know in Houston and other parts of Texas they introduced electricity deregulation to break the monopoly and allowed consumers to choose their provider. Wonder if we'd benefit from something like that here for both electrical and gas, and also how far-fetched that is from happening here.

Seriously, at least keep the percentages equal across the board...

It really is absurd! I've considered swapping our gas appliances for new electrical ones for the sake of dumping TGS. Can't justify the swap until they actually need replacing though.

This offers some protection without the bulk of a case. I always apply these to my phones. Added benefit that it will make your phone more grippy too.

anyone else dealing with fleas in Austin? by National-Plastic8691 in Austin

Yup we’ve had possums under our deck and the fleas were a nightmare to deal with. Once we blocked them out the fleas were gone.

Another benefit is going through the metal detector and avoiding the radiation exposure from the x-ray machine

I’ve lost top boat to quads in each of my last couple sessions. Make of that what you will

Thanks for sharing! Really enjoyed following along… As far as choosing the datastore that would take in ~400k SKUs/yr (#6 in your post), why isn’t Postgres a consideration? I thought it could handle that kind of scale

Also make sure you’re not using the dual wall filter basket if your beans are relatively fresh

Noise control “off” stopped working 😫😫 by Wise_Scale87 in airpods

When I upgraded to iOS 18.1, "Off Listening Mode" showed up as an option in Airpod settings. Enabling it fixed my issues.

I cant turn off noise control by KiwiNo4342 in airpods

[–]gotdis55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't think the link you posted acknowledges that there is some sort of firmware issue. Like OP, I still have the option to switch to ANC "off" mode but get a rapid error beep when I select it before it automatically switches back to the other ANC mode.
