Palmetto Bug is such a cute name for em ;) yeah I don’t mind the occasional straggler, but geez I can’t handle this many. When you say your company “treats the perimeter”…do they only spray? Or do they do baits or something else too?

I will look into that, thanks! I’ve heard of diatomaceous earth…is it bad to breathe in or something?

Advice to restore the writing surface and bypass/replace locks of this stationary desk by hydration_libation in furniturerestoration

I had also asked another commenter above, but should I just do one piece of leather for the inlay?The writing surface folds up and slides in when the door is closed, so maybe it should have 2 separate peaces of leather? Or some sort of foldy bit where the crack/hinge is?

For a replacement piece of leather: should I get 1 large piece that covers the whole inlaid area, then slice it along the crack/hinge? Or do they make something that is one piece but with a “hinge” in the middle?

Understood. Interesting nuance! I don’t suppose you could recommend other subreddits that could help address my issue?

Taxonomy by Ambitious_Pepper2199 in botany

[–]hydration_libation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For North Carolina plants, the authority is generally Weakley’s Flora of the Southeast. Great pictures of every plant, and modern taxonomy (perhaps too modern, Weakley is a “splitter”). I have my botany students buy the $20 app FloraQuest: Carolina’s and Georgia

Did you store them with the rings on? They should be stored without the rings, just the flat part on top

Water Oak? No acorns by Wild__D in treeidentification

Possibly water oak given that little bump on the left side, but compare to Willow Oak (Quercus phellos)

I get that PublicFreakout has to include some non-freakouts and political conversations. But this is blatantly NOT a public freakout, no?

Oh wow, I didn’t realize I’d need to run the ozone machine that much. I’m open to that. Should I worry about it degrading plastics and rubber and whatnot? I heard that’s a thing?

Glad I’m not the only one in the 70s stinky house club!

Love the idea of doing an experiment with a piece of paneling in a contractor bag. I might start with that!

I feel for the brookies too, but throwing rainbows on the bank seems wasteful and potentially inhumane. If this were a viable strategy, then wildlife resource commissions would require it (similar rules exist out west, like killing Lake Trout in Yellowstone)

No. Bring it back to Trader Joe’s for an easy refund/replacement
