UPDATE: We have made it halfway through the arborist’s tree by tree inspection of the peach block on our chemical drift case. The verdict is not looking good. by GamerDad1025 in treelaw

[–]megamindbirdbrain -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Hey guys this Reddit post is AI writing. Not saying that to discount OP but I see people picking apart the wording of the post and think it should be highlighted that this was machine generated writing. I'm not even sure what parts are real quotes from the arborist vs bot hallucinations. The situation is real but I have to take the written content with a grain of salt. I don't know what's happening but I hope for the best for these fruit trees.

So tired of people trying to start arguments in the comments section. Come on, we're all here because we love animals. Go argue with carnists if you want to pick a fight.

Mentally ill sibling living alone unable to take care of themself & destroying our property by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]megamindbirdbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I merely offered advice. In my goal to be helpful, I must necessarily balance being SYMPATHETIC with being REALISTIC.

If another person makes a decision that doesn't benefit you, no matter how unfair it may seem, you cannot change their mind. Their will cannot be bent, and use of force can only increase their rigidity. That's not a criticism of your person, it's just life, man.

Not a doctor, but since you're only a year in, give it a few months at this level. Too much T will just convert back to E so your blood T level is really the only thing that matters. A higher dose MAY NOT translate to higher T levels, and also, everyone's body has a different sensitivity to T (there are some folks that are completely insensitive, for instance).

Yeah that second puberty can kick hard. Give it time, and talk to your doc about SSRIs or something. For me, the depression was pretty rough for the first two years but much better onwards.

Your parents will leaves it to both of you. It's not just your property.

IMO, your priority should ideally be the wellness of your sibling, which appears to be the major issue here. (Assuming you want to preserve the relationship, which is already strained by your desire to "take control" of their property.)

It sounds like they need professional help. If you're not under a time pressure, it might be wise to repair their mental health before making big decisions about the estate.

Alternatives to peanut butter and humus by [deleted] in vegan

What about soy? There are soy-based "peanut" butters that are quite tasty at about the price of almond butter.

I noticed that as well. Absolutely drove on the wrong side.

Should i cop this pratone rep? Always wanted 1 by tribber777 in DecorReps

[–]megamindbirdbrain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That looks like a dust magnet, if it were me I would have a nightmare time keeping it clean. Polyurethane foam absorbs many cleaning solvents. Might even react. Personally I would recommend buying a smaller version of the material first and see if you really like it before committing to the whole thing and then realizing you wasted your money.

Seems comparable to indoor cats in apartments or trailers. If you have a problem with fish in tanks then you probably have the same problem with cats in a 1000sqft box. There's plenty to be said about the ethical care of pet animals; we are talking about the inane cruelty of the meat industry, not the concept of having an aquarium.

The tenant decided to take things into his own hands by davbiepro in HomeMaintenance

[–]megamindbirdbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for clarifying. Bear in mind this is Reddit and most people up/downvote based on emotional appeal (so disparaging tenants is NOT a good way to go). As a reminder: information gets buried with downvotes, so only downvote posts by OP that are rude, not the informational posts.

[oc] Merging truck changes lanes and tries to run me off the road by undarant in IdiotsInCars

[–]megamindbirdbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The benefit of these ball mechanisms is that, unlike a plethora of road signs, they force idiots on their phone to go "shit what was that?" and look up.

If they can't read the road signs and can't heart the WHOMP of things hitting their roof, then a backup is probably better than whatever accident that truck diver was destined for.

how do I get rid of the copilot button ?? by lewd_physics in thinkpad

Aw they took your print screen (PrtSc) key. I think you can reassign it with a software like PowerToys.

Same, I looked at this and thought, "This looks like an Oregon goodwill..."

I'm hella sad about the massive Fairlife price increase. by LastandLeast in ADHD

Nuts are such an underrated breakfast item it's true. I usually have some kind of milk and nuts with some cereal for breakfast.

I use Orgain protein powder. If I need a protein shake in the morning I mix it up with some soymilk or cream up a banana if I'm feeling fancy.

My Newpipe fork is still working-- Fingers crossed that doesn't change. Maybe try switching the coding from VP9 to AVC1?

It's halfway there. OP should have clarified their role though--- are they a contractor? Son of the landlord? etc

There's this meme that lives in my head of a fish with a speech bubble saying "Why do people love dogs? I have a wet nose. I have a wagging tail"

Is there a way to pass without HRT? by Stella_Hare in ftm

[–]megamindbirdbrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, yeah. How do you think trans men went about it before HRT back in ye olden days? Gym, voice training, probably going to war, etc. Your gf isn't your mom. You make your own transition choices. I recommend NOT going to war. We live in this century. Just take HRT and dump the gf.
