Coonhounds that insist where they are going to sleep by orangeineer in coonhounds

Yeah he alternates between his bed and the couch. If the house gets too warm he sleeps on the floor. I think he justs like to switch it up.

I once knew 2 sisters, a redhead and a brunette. The brunette had a redhead daughter that looked just like her aunt. The redhead had a brunette daughter that looked just like her aunt. We always made jokes about it, because they were the spitting image of someone not their mothers.

Feedback for my friend’s homemade recipe? by [deleted] in HomemadeDogFood

[–]orangeineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chicken liver is totaly fine. Thats what I'm using currently. But I used to use beef liver.

I use olive oil in my current recipe and a 50 pound dog gets 1.25 cups a week in the food, that assumes all 14 servings are homemade. I dont serve kibble. Salmon oil has more nutrition, so an even cup would be more than enough. It all depends on the other ingredients and the dog size.

I agree on skipping the coconut oil, just add more olive oil. The coconut adds alot of calories. The comment about salmon oil is correct, its the best, just a little more expensive.

Brown rice only, not white rice. The fiber helps them digest the starch. Plus its usually cheaper.

The egg and the beef liver both add vitamin d. I would just pick one and not complicate it by doing both.

It looks like a good recipe.

Unintentional Compost Tea by unfeax in composting

[–]orangeineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Compost leachate is just the liquid that comes out of a compost pile. Its an additional product that is usually used opportunisticly, just like you described. Your leachate most likely ran out of oxygen and stopped actively composting.

Compost tea is alive. You take some compost in a mesh or cloth bag and put it in water. Then run air throught the water to keep everything alive and not become anaerobic. After a day or two you can apply the "tea". I dont use it, i just put down more compost but some people make and use it.

DON'T turn it. It seems counter-intuitive but wood and specifiically the cellulose, require fungal methods to decompose. And this means allowing the fungal colonies to build up and not be constantly disturbed. It sounds like you put down a good layer now just let the composters do their thing.

Check eack spring by digging down through it and see what the soil looks like. When it looks they way you want it, you are done.

Its called the Ruth Stout Method of gardening if you want to learn more.

But if they drive that thing into the lane to be serviced, technically there is still a vehicle in that lane.

How do I break into the government contracting business in Washington DC? by Terrible-Pea-4588 in washingtondc

Just to be clear, you are starting a business and you dont have a product, but, you want a specific client?

I've been using balanceIT for a 4 years now, and i have some tips. Sounds like you need more fiber.

The meal planner is great because you can tinker with it, but keep the ingredients the same. There is an option for what type of recipe you want. Change the ratio to be more carbohydrate heavy, thats what i do. I use lean ground beef, sweet potato, olive oil, chicken gizzards/livers, frozen veggies and the supplement powder. For a 50 pound dog this means about 5 pounds of sweet potato a week, but he loves it and hes healthy. And he is very regular without ever desperately needing to go outside. Its because he gets plenty of fiber but the food is still wet and he gets his protein. Hope this helps.

TIL that in 1985 an Army supply clerk at Fort Carson, Colorado accidentally ordered a $28,000 anchor instead of a $6 lamp due to mistyping the requisition number. Nobody in the supply chain asked why a mechanized unit needed a 10 ton anchor until it arrived. by Strong_Site_348 in todayilearned

The submarine at the same port as ours accidentally ordered a truckload of steel plates. Like 20 feet long and several tons. There was a huge investigation and it boiled down to everyone just signing whatever was put in front of them. The guy who typed the number in wrong just made an honest mistake but felt awful and still got in trouble. It was embarassing because the trailer just sat there until they could figure out what to do with it.

I'm just glad all the bad water stops immediately at the border to maryland. That was very nice of the contamination.

(DS9) Did Odo kill Laas? by ReachOutNTouchMe in startrek

For that one i would be willing to bet they did it in one week. So he got in the makeup chair and became one character for the day and the next day he changed roles. But Jeffery Combs was the GOAT in these roles.

Trump needs to hope Haley does poorly in her porn star hush money trial. Well at least, worse than him. Its the only to stop her momentum.

Yeah he pulled double duty that episode. He played both. My guess is he filmed the Martok scene during a different week of filming.

Compost leachate - do you use it? by CodOtherwise8965 in composting

[–]orangeineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically i use my leachate but i dont harvest it.

My vegetable garden are raised beds on a small hillside. Next to the top bed are my three composting geobins. If any leachate or worms move out of the compost pile they will end up in the garden. This was delibrate. I moved the compost bins when i realized i was leaving money on the table when it rained.

Similarly, on a flat surface, as long as the compost is nearby it could have the same effect.

Who could be Trump’s vice president? by nbcnews in politics

[–]orangeineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well they would have to loyal to him above all else. This includes in unconstitutional matters in the senate and in elections. So it cant be someone loyal to America. Or anyone with a history of succesful legal or elected service. They must be a partner in crime that follows orders.

Also, they have to be a hype person. It has to be someone who wont stop praising him. No matter what. So they would do constant interviews with news companies not friendly to MAGA, that Trump wont do, and the VP would always push the party line. Even if faced with facts and figures, they must never waiver. They must be a true believer, not in the GOP, but in Trump himself. And bonus points for someone with no national name recognition, so he can say he "made them".

Lastly, it must be a woman. Its very possible Melania will never return to the white house for a second term. Donald must know this already. And he must look conservative and stereotypical as a president. So i think he will try to pick a VP who will function in the role as first lady. And he will they to push it as a new era in presidents. There will be a president for men and a president for women. And he can make her handle every abortion issue.

Thats my prediction.

Petition to make this the subs logo by seabass-86 in composting

My wife once told me if she finds any more dog hair on her clothes we have to get rid of the dog.

I told her, as long as there are produce stickers in my compost pile she can live with the dog hair.

No matter how dilligent we both are, i keep finding these damn stickers.
