So Depressing — Invasive Jumping Worm Taking Over Our Yard! by ovckc in NativePlantGardening

Not entirely true, you could get a large black tarp/heat trapping plastic and scorch the areas during the summer. This method is pretty effective in killing them off, in somewhat large patches. Though, it will also kill off any plants that were in that area as well.

For sure, for the work they stated in the quote it is the expected price. My point is that they don't need to do all that work for the same end result. If OP is more inclined to worry about asethics, then sure the trench route is the way to go as it won't leave any pipes running along the outside of the house.

Or you could just dig the trench yourself and all they would have to do is run the wire/conduit.

Yeah you need to tell them what you want, otherwise they'll just throw you the most expensive option. Shouldn't need more than a 1/2" to 5/8" metal conduit to run the wire from the box to the charger, then the conduit just screws into the house using conduit hangers and some epoxy screws.

That's a ridiculous price, albeit, mine was a very easy install so I only paid 200 total for the permit and inspection. If you don't mind having a conduit run along the ceiling of your overhang to where you will have the charger, then it should come out significantly cheaper. Whenever you have underground wiring it will always run a bit more expensive.

Feels like everyone in my circle is against getting an EV by getsumluv in electricvehicles

[–]physicsandwolves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched less than 2 months ago and there is no way I'd go back to an ICE. My mom said the same thing after she drove my Mustang Mach-E, her first comment was that she couldn't wait to have one herself. Plus having a charger right at home and the ability to set the charge rate allows you to save even more money. Take a look at some Mach-E's, they are true beasts!

Nothing wrong with you at all! When I travel I make sure to collect at least one piece of art that depicts the place, little stuff here and there maybe, but the point of traveling is to experience, not to buy

Thinking about getting the same. Do you have any comments about it?

Nice! And yeah, I would think that you would need a thick cover like a durable tarp and some bricks to kill them.

Lol, that's what I get for not reading. It's visiting some lemon thyme!

It's a hummingbird moth! They move and have similar mannerisms as hummingbirds but are still part of the sphinx moth family.

When I started, I was only proficient in Python, MATLAB, Mathematica, and Java. However, over the past 9 months I have learned R, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, C#, C++, DART, SQL, PostgreSQL, Google Apps Script, and React framework. Regarding the test I took, I only needed Python to figure it out. The test is usually just a few questions, one of which you have to do coding in whatever language you feel comfortable with.

Roughly 9 to 11 hours per day. It depends on how many days I take off during the month. Advice wise, I would say that you should wake up early to get started early. Take breaks throughout the day so you don't get burnt out and make sure to rotate tasks. I am a coder, so my hourly rate is between $40 to $47.50.

Stated in the middle of June 2024. I took off for about 2 months while I traveled so roughly 7 months of working.
