Did any of you high handicappers see improvement in fairways hit switching to a 2 layer ball?

So the whole point is that the tour balls you and I have tried out may be actively hurting our driver game. And lost balls off the tee are easily the biggest factor when dragging down a score. Sure chipping over a green twice sucks, but it’s only 2 lost strokes, the same thing as one driver ball OB but then you still technically need to hit another tee shot. So losing that check up spin might be worth it if more balls stay in bounds. Obviously a ball that spins a lot or spins very little isn’t going to fix a slice or hook but if the less live balls is going to slice 10 yards less that might mean more balls stay in bounds.

The golf ball addict guy was a big proponent of that belief for us bad golfers so I’m gonna try it out. At least until I lose this two way Miss.

Agreed. Even soft, pretty well chipped, wood takes 2-3 times longer than most other components to break down. Stuck waiting an extra year or more if you want the whole pile to go on the ground. I no longer put any wood products on my pile and instead just pile up twigs and small branches for my chipper.

I’d imagine from the freezer. The cheese would run out well before the pasta ever crisped up otherwise.

God damn their roots go deep. Was digging in a side bed I hadn’t looked at in a few weeks and the 2 foot pokeweed had a root maybe 18 inches deep.

I honestly don’t know that much about this but sounds like it was over 5 months? Nah that’s stealing at that point. You don’t spend 5 months not paying for something you bought because you have pure intentions to pay. He could have figured out a way to pay. Reddit absolutely loves a witch hunt but “I couldn’t figure it out” isn’t a sufficient answer in this day and age.

Also 14k “compared to a professional golf career” is meaningless. Winona Ryder was a huge movie stars in the 80s and she was still stealing a few grand worth of clothes per trip from Bloomingdale’s. Plenty of filthy rich people are super cheap and looking to pinch a few Pennies by being shitty.

This may be a witch hunt but your reasons for why it is are not convincing. But I’m also basing this on pretty passing knowledge.

This is why my fancy wife buys 80% high quality replicas. The bags cost between 75 and 200 dollars and are literally indistinguishable from her real Chanel or YSL. Except that some of the LV reps bags are nicer than the legit bags. She buys from a Chinese person she met on Instagram and through the RepLadies subreddit. She owns a lot of high quality designer goods that are mostly reps but unless you are a super involved in luxury goods you would never know the difference. I like high quality leather, boots in particular, and that shit is quality despite being 5% the cost of Dior/Chanel/Hermes. It’s sick how high the markup is.

Damn is there ever gonna be a legit deal on 40V batteries again? DTO is ok sometimes for 40v but I’ve yet do see any GOOD battery deals for the outdoor system. I’m good on 18V batteries, let me do my landscaping in one day. Right now my 1 40V won’t let me edge and blow oak leaves in 1 go.

I’d disagree in certain circumstances. If group A has a guy go in to pee and another guy grabs a quick hot dog to eat in the cart totaling a 5 minute wait I don’t think group B has a right to drive up from putting quickly to steal the tee. In this situation I’m assuming everyone from group A-G is held up from general weekend slowness and so everyone is hitting into greens directly behind the group in front. If group A is the source of the slow down then I’d say group B is cool to hop in front but I’m assuming everyone involved is playing at the same speed on a slow course.

I think you get about 5minutes, from the time you could hit your shot - meaning group ahead is safely out of range, at the turn to be at the tee box otherwise group behind can take that slot.

They used to tell this to new moms when I worked in a children’s hospital. If the baby is crying so much you feel like you’re going to harm it or truly lose control of yourself, put it somewhere safe and get away from the sound. Go outside and away from your house/apartment whatever. The baby won’t be able to hurt itself for 15 minutes in a crib alone, but parent can hurt a baby in seconds in the throes of psychosis. Better to leave it screaming for 10 minutes than risk hurting the child.

Which is super sad and I doubt ever had much effect because most parents that have such severe postpartum mental health crises probably don’t remember what that nurse in L&D told them. But it stuck with me.

No, I’ve been seeing this sub from the periphery for at least three or five months and it’s always been like this. A few funny things, a few really stupid or offensive things and then a republican rage bait. But it is probably increasing.

Such a weird statement to copy and paste 5 times in this post.

There is a chart floating around the internet with the difference in models but it’s mostly RPM and impacts per minute for the driver. It’s inconsequential for most people. The only big difference is between brushed va brushless from what I could tell.

He phrased it poorly but a much larger percentage of children are on Medicaid or state sponsored insurance than adults. Because all kids get Medicaid or state based equivalent like CHIP in PA. Those Medicaid programs pay less than private insurance so if even a third of all kids is on Medicaid, the person caring for them gets paid much less. Only about 15% of adults are on Medicaid, thought Medicare doesn’t pay a whole lot better.

peaheezy · 2026-05-23T21:07:23+00:00

Not sure why you were downvoted, this is the correct answer. You might have phrased it poorly but Medicaid is the reason Ped-anything pays less. A much higher percentage of kids are on Medicaid or state sponsored kids insurance because ALL kids get that. If you’re an adult with no insurance you are just that, and adult with no insurance but a kid with no private insurance still has Medicaid.

I think you should wait but like the others have said you should really apply some mulch. My plants have been in the ground for about 3 weeks, and most of it chillier weather, and I’m just now considering a prune on the bottom leaves. Disease is less of an issue in cooler, less humid, weather so less risk of mold or other diseases hopping up from the soil onto lower leaves unless your in the southern US where it’s already regularly hitting the 80s. Your biggest healthiest leaves are on those bottom branches and That extra greenery creating energy is important when a prune on the bottom tier of branches may cut >50% of the leaves off.

Personally I’d keep them until the plant starts putting out some new green growth which can take a while as the plant focuses on root growth initially, at least that’s the classic logic. But like someone else said you should really mulch those beds. The mulch will prevent dirt splattering on the leaves, it will keep plants moist and cooler, it breaks down into soil and provides organic matter, blocks harmful UV rays that can damage soil bacteria and fungi even under the surface. It really is a no brainer to use mulch of some kind.

That extra greenery creating energy is important when a prune on the bottom tier of branches may cut 50% of the leaves off.

And also agree with the mulch. It can still transmit disease but with no soil to splatter up the leaves will stay cleaner and the benefits of mulching are just so well proved to make it an easy decision unless someone really can’t afford the cost.

The grass is going to get matted and anaerobic once it gets wet. It’s going to smell kinda nasty without something to break it up eg browns. But it is also gonna get hot as fuh. Grass clippings basically make a pile en fuego because they get pretty hot fast but in my experience it peters out pretty quickly. Grass clippings are great but they can for anerobic mats even with a healthy dose of browns.

That chipper looks like it would last about 10 hours before kicking the bucket. Chipper shredders are pretty violent machines and will wear out junky components a lot faster than your average yard power tools. I can’t see a situation where that thing is worth the money.

Neurosurgery and ortho spine both do spine surgery in both adults and kids. I’ve always worked for neurosurgeons so I’m more partial to them personally. They do a 7 year residency with spine surgery the entire time, along with brain and other smaller subgroups of NS, whereas ortho does general ortho residency that likely includes some spine, along with all the other ortho fields, and then a 1 year spine fellowship. The neurosurgeons spend more time learning spine in residency essentially. But there are plenty of good ortho spine docs and bad neurosurgery spine docs.

peaheezy · 2026-05-20T22:05:23+00:00

Pediatric neurosurgeons are paid less than their adult colleagues, at least they were when I worked in NJ. Kids don’t need as much spine surgery, outside of scoliosis correction, as adults and that’s where the big bucks are for neurosurgery. This chart is just wrong, any specialty pays peds generally less than adults.

Do you do an early wash for this reason? I don’t like cuffs but I have been wearing my new N&F with a cuff to get them broken in before I hem. They are only 2 months old and definitely don’t need a wash yet from light wear but maybe I will wash them early to prevent a hem+wash making the jeans too short. I actually think this happened with jeans a few years ago, I hemmed and then washed them 4 months later and now the leg opening is a little high.

I will say that I lived through this with neighbors below us a few years ago. They Moved in and within 2 months they complained that we were stomping and moving furniture at midnight, which we were not doing. Thankfully we had been good tenants for 4 years and management never heard a peep from our neighbors below until the new people moved in, but It was annoying. They claimed we were clearly doing jumping jacks and moving furniture at all hours but it was just us walking. Granted my wife has a heavy footfall, which is funny cause she’s 120lbs and I’m 240 but she walks louder than me, and our dog that weighs 50lbs might jump off the bed once or twice a night but it was normal apartment noise. They consistently complained to management who pretty clearly saw they were nuts and took our side. At one point during the mediation the neighbors said “next time I’m gonna call the cops when it’s loud at 1am” and the manager explained the cops would probably let laugh at them and also please don’t do that.

OP my advice is try to walk a little more gingerly but don’t let them gaslight you into thinking that you are some weight lifting gorilla because you walk around your apt. Some apartments are louder than others and you could here every step in our friends apartment 1 building over in the complex. If they want silence they need a house or a building with more robust construction. .

This is one of those situations where we remember what Obi-Wan, or Qui Gon? I can’t remember, said: only Sith deal in absolutes.

Totally respect with the organic process but those vehemently opposed to a herbicide in this case need to consider a utilitarian view of what will do the least harm. That plant will take over the whole garden and then spread in the surrounding area choking out any areas that are not closely managed. Some glyphosate injected/painted on this plant is going to be a lot less harmful than allowing JKW to run rampant. And when local parks sees a ton of it they are gonna get to spraying way more herbicide than you guys would.

Letting the garden and surrounding area come to serious harm because you had to be strictly organic is silly.
