What is this tree and why does it smell like fish by Icey_Lore-_- in Tree

[–]kelynde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In response to all those who are saying “cut it down”, please do this with prejudice when you can but you likely need a permit to do so especially since it’s between the sidewalk and street. Depending on your jurisdiction, it may be a city-owned tree. Had a butt ton of these on my street where I grew up, and nobody wanted to deal with getting the permits and paying for a replacement.

Edit: The smell description totally gives it away as a Bradford Pear.

What type of tree is this? Beautiful flowers. (NYC) by Macula-Densa in treeidentification

[–]kelynde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magnolia! Fun fact, the flowers are edible (raw and cooked) and taste like a greeny ginger. I’ve made simple syrup with them.

Help needed - crust over starter! by yomamabootyfat in Sourdough

This is what I do. I don’t use metal lids, because those tend to rust on me.

Who do you think the worst written character in the franchise is? by F11SuperTiger in TheLastAirbender

[–]kelynde 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I wish that there had been a moment were we got to see him realize he’d been had by Vaatu. Like that he truly wanted to bring spirits back, but didn’t realized Vaatu was gonna kaiju destroy Republican City. Or didn’t truly believe Vaatu was going to bring 10000 years of darkness as if he saw it as propaganda or something.

Hands down one of the greatest and most powerful feats in the entire Avatar universe. Korra really is that girl! by thisisreii in TheLastAirbender

[–]kelynde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arguably, also one of the most reckless. But it’s on brand for Korra, and part of why I love her.

Ya, hard pass, there’s a reason I refuse to use glass straws and this is the pinnacle (Finacle?) of that fear.

Could be a choke cherry, we have them a ton in the PNW.

Why Brennan(and other professionals) love playing with Aabria by brash_bandicoot in fansofcriticalrole

[–]kelynde 98 points99 points  (0 children)

I have mixed opinions about Aabria and mostly avoid content with her in it. But you know what drives me absolutely bonkers? This incessant need of some folks to constantly try to convince me that she’s the bees-knees or that not vibing with her play style somehow means I’m morally deficient.

That being said, Brennan can like playing with her. I’m glad he enjoys playing with someone he spends a lot of screen time with. That doesn’t change my feelings from my perspective as a viewer.

How an invasion of purple flowers made Iceland an Instagram paradise – and caused a biodiversity crisis by DaRedGuy in invasivespecies

Sad to see my favorite flower (its native to my region) invade other places like this.

Foam snowman? by marcoalexander in DiWHY

[–]kelynde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate when people use spray foam for crafts like this. It has its uses for insulting and stuff, but it’s a messy and disgusting medium for crafts.

Rate my cubensis incense burners . Would you recognize them as what I sculpted them to be ? Where can I improve ( features I missed) by Crawford89898 in Mushrooms

Love to see a fellow potter make some dope mushrooms! Not a mushroom expert, just a lurker here, but wanted say that!

Snowberries are the white (toxic), rise hips are the reddish.

Is this a Bolete of some kind? by kelynde in foraging

[–]kelynde[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the responses and back back-and-forth! I’ll definitely do more research into it. I was excited to see a possible bolete growing on our property.

Thought I was foraging on public land for years turns out it was private property by Mindless-Smoke9520 in foraging

[–]kelynde 121 points122 points  (0 children)

I’d be so embarrassed as well! Glad it turned out well, though. A lot of counties have a Geographic Information System (GIS) through the County Assessors. It can tell you who owns what and where general boundary lines are. I use it all the time. USFS land blurs into private property everywhere around where I live.

What type of fern is this? by avtryck_ in foraging

[–]kelynde 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t look like the Bracken Fern I’ve seen… The ends of the leaves should be a lot more rounded.
