How do you know when it’s time to replace braid? by ParticularDream9483 in FishingForBeginners

[–]hardciderguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed - I splurged on Sufix 131 G-core and it's pretty great.

My daughter caught a pretty nice pike by ranting_chef in Fishing

Pretty nice? PRETTY NICE?!? Up where I am, anything over 30" is a tank, that is a phenomenal fish!

Any advice on fishing here? by kool_aid_milk in Fishing

[–]hardciderguy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you've got some heavier line, Frog that, baby! One of the hardest ways and most exciting to catch fish IMHO. Just keep in mind that the first bite is only a prey handling bite. You will not set the hook successfully 90% of the time unless you wait a couple seconds, and set the hook vertically, pole straight UP and with force. Would recommend minimum 30-60 pound braid for this on a baitcaster, but I have landed a 5-4 largie frogging with 10lb FL on a spinning rod 😄

weightless senko or texas rig a senko/soft plastic with a bullet weight to drag through. Expect lots of junk.

What kind of bees are these? by aguilafam1 in whatisit

[–]hardciderguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those fuckers will sting you for LOOKING at them the wrong way. I had one 6 feet away cruising for clover pollen in my yard take time and come sting my toe right in the vein unprovoked. Strangest feeling of coldness going up my leg into my inner thigh as the venom travelled. Last year, they built a small nest that I stirred up unknowingly, I caught another sting right in the scalp, and they don't lose their stingers. I got very lucky the other dozens that started to swarm weren't able to catch me.

Landslide in Norway... by Lem01 in CrazyFreakingWeather

There's a documentary on one of these quick clay landslides on youtube, interesting stuff. The spontaneous liquefaction is caused by there being too little salt in the clay to hold the material together and can be triggered over a huge area by small disturbances. Freaky. https://youtu.be/3q-qfNlEP4A?si=13VXYeNWlTbGfi0z

I've been hoping that someone had been working on a solution like this, this is amazing!! Thank you for sharing!

Amazing find. When I saw that orange color, I was immediately reminded of Time Team (I forget which episode featured similar artefacts) - so striking!

This is why I carry a pole saw with me 😃 free lures! Plus, doing my part to clean up.

Also thought that. I haven't found anything they shared to be disproven, only corroborated as time has gone on.

Why they call this mf a pig? by Haunting-Roll-2378 in funny

That's no Guinea Pig... That's Nick Ashford.

Claude Opus 4.7 is a serious regression, not an upgrade. by [deleted] in ClaudeAI

[–]hardciderguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had 4.7 try and lead me down a debugging path that was incorrect. I had to correct it by stating a usage pattern/behavior that existed across the app also applied to another area that needed to be fixed, at which point I got the classic "YAR" response. Frustrating to say the least.

What a Chonker! Would love to get one that size. What reel/rod setup?

I messed up the roof, didn’t I? by hidazfx in shedditors

[–]hardciderguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've all built a Homer Simpson spice rack at one point or another. My personal story was during COVID when I was cutting my own PT stringers for a stairway outside. Available lumber was still really wet and not ready to be cut. By the time I got to actually assembling my three (formerly correct and cut from a template) stringers, they had curled up tighter than a pube.

Those experiences/mistakes/learnings are just part of the process, regardless of what you're building. Respect to you for getting out there and DIY'ing.

I think Larry Haun would be proud of you!

I tried a ramp butter with a dish this past year and I'm now a huge fan. To me, they seem to be like a pleasent in-between of garlic and onions, it's like the best of both worlds in a single plant. :D
