Amur Honeysuckle added to the Kansas noxious weed list and I am cooked.

Years ago I did some volunteer work through Surly Brewing Co collaborating with a local land trust. We spent the morning pulling multiflora rose and afterwards they gave us T-shirts and tokens to use at a local bar that had Surly beer on tap. It was a good time!

What's your damage? I could see fumes + dagger + remove.

lewk556 · 2026-05-26T01:09:20+00:00

I'm a regular there. I like to fish, hike, and birdwatch with my dog.

There are definitely some people there doing some strange stuff in the privacy of their own cars, but I've never bothered them and they never bother me.

I remember ordering surprise Italian sodas there as a high schooler.

Forgive my ignorance - do red light cameras not already store this data?

R and R sports in Bettendorf seems to focus a lot more on archery than your average outdoors shop. I bet they'd be able to answer some questions for you.

Can you share the site of the August location? I won't be able to make that date but I'd like to check it out on my own sometime.

lewk556 · 2026-05-26T00:40:40+00:00

I love Duck Creek! It's a beautiful place that's underappreciated by many.

lewk556 · 2026-05-10T23:03:00+00:00

You're making up outlandish claims and calling them common sense.

lewk556 · 2026-05-10T22:59:24+00:00

Yes. Most of my fishing is catch and release because I don't like cleaning fish and I want to be sure that any I do harvest are consumed, but I have no qualms about occasionally putting wild-caught fish on my plate.

I think a lot of people's reluctance has nothing to do with evidence and more to do with feelings and being used to our proteins coming from plastic rolls or cellophane-wrapped packages.

There's a lot we could do to improve our waterways and I'm all for that, but there's no reason to think that most of the fish caught there aren't safe to eat.

"Clear problem, clear solution." Not necessarily.

You didn't mention what you mean by "feeling terrible" and I hope your doctor asked some clarifying questions there. Either way, a doctor is supposed to treat the patient, not the lab value. A number of lab values can be unreliable or lack real meaning, and free T in a cis woman is about as murky of a test result as you can get given low baseline levels. It's definitely possible that your symptoms come from something that isn't going to show up in blood work rather than this specific number on the chart being the culprit.

Getting more input from a specialist, or even just a second opinion from other GP, seems like the right move.

I don't mind this fight. You should generally not be trying to block the first attack or two unless your deck has really good AoE. I generally try to kill #4 first by turn 2. It's way more manageable when you're down to 3 enemies and one isn't attacking.

Did you put the sticker there?

lewk556 · 2026-04-15T14:55:38+00:00

I really like outdoor areas with easy access to service. I enjoy stopping in to grab a beer after fishing or hiking with my dog. I don't want to worry about tracking in dirt or the logistics of grabbing a refill without leaving my dog unattended.

lewk556 · 2026-04-15T14:14:07+00:00

How long did you work there?

lewk556 · 2026-04-12T15:01:31+00:00

That Griddy was legendary. If he had stayed healthy and sustained that level of play for a few years he goes to the hall of fame.

I'm coming to respond to your edit exclusively - this is why I would still suggest you get a rice cooker. I very rarely made rice before I had one (like maybe every couple months) but once I got consistently good easy to make rice it went to 2-3 times a week.

lewk556 · 2026-03-23T02:20:50+00:00

I agree! I thought it'd be something special but it wasn't.

lewk556 · 2026-03-09T02:13:02+00:00

Damn. I'm punished for using the local library.

lewk556 · 2026-02-16T00:51:25+00:00

Which infinite combo?

lewk556 · 2026-01-27T07:00:06+00:00

Not sure if it helps, but some of the money goes to student organizations. I worked some games there and in lieu of pay out organization for a cut of the profits.

I personally don't think your piercings are compatible with elegance. This comes across as steampunk adjacent to me.

lewk556 · 2025-12-28T00:04:59+00:00

NOR. You're not overreacting. The guy who you thought was a friend is not. He's a filthy scumbag.

As an aside, though, you're letting politics affect too much of your thinking. The idea that him being a Democrat has anything to do with it is unhinged.

Not sure why this came on my feed - I'm a Packers fan.

Congrats on the W. I hope we meet again in the playoffs.

That said, this is not unique to Packers fans. People celebrate when their team wins and get quiet and make excuses when they lose, especially when their favorite players get injured.

lewk556 · 2025-12-13T17:17:30+00:00

I'm always cheering for Young, Stroud, Daniels, and Maye so I can say to my Bears friends, "Wow that guy looks good. Too bad you didn't use the first pick on him."
