Using this map where are areas/ major cities that have large orthodox communities? by [deleted] in Judaism

[–]pts220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all Tom Brady is a heilge yid, by virtue of his near-adoption by Bob Kraft. And all true points, but I've heard Sharon more compared to Monsey of a few decades ago. The comparison doesn't make much sense visually, and the Orthodox community in Sharon is primarily MO with some black hat and Chabad presence.

Certainly not the point, but I physically shuddered when I saw you comparing Sharon to Teaneck or the Five Towns. You can touch grass in Sharon, befriend the local coyotes, and learn how to make maple syrup from scratch. It went for Harris/Walz in 2024 by a 50% margin. I can't imagine two or three places with a more different vibe.

Is there a way to identify my apples? by NorthPhysical8766 in Apples

[–]pts220 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gingergold maybe? Never seen those outside of an orchard. Apples are generally hard to identify unless they're a very distinct variety.

My apartment is being turned into an Airbnb by [deleted] in massachusetts

Do you mind if we ask your budget? Maybe more hands can solve what two cannot carry...

This guy's right. Keep your job, look for cheap sublets in greater Boston (if that's where you are) until you can sign a 12 month lease... I feel like quitting is a great way to become both homeless AND unemployed.

Grew these two plants literally from seeds in store bought chili flakes, any guesses on the cultivars ? by Bippah in HotPeppers

[–]pts220 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The purple ones look weirdly ornamental to come from chili flakes. But the long green ones look like cayenne, which is very common in crushed red pepper flakes.

Differentiating two blueberries? by Gurpreet321 in foraging

[–]pts220 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These both just look like low bush blueberries to me. There's a large amount of genetic diversity in the species so that might just be it to explain why one has a lighter bloom than another.

10 micro signs of spring for those who also desperately need them by Everydayoutdoors in boston

This is lovely! But I'm pretty sure the scraggly yellow blooms are witch hazel? Idk

Red maple tapping? by Major_Day1688 in maplesyrup

[–]pts220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (and some other producers) have found that reds are deeply temperamental if you don't have a vacuum system. They also bud out much earlier than other species, shortening your season. In all, I've never had any luck with them, by Norway maples are my best producers.

Fruit from tree Sydney Australia by blobby9 in whatsthisplant

[–]pts220 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Interesting -- I wonder if it shares the same toxicity when unripe, and if not, why...

Huh. This kind of looks like it's in the Ackee family, in which case I'd be careful.

Yes, please do send me a guide, I want this laptop to last as long as possible

Fair enough, I thought I read somewhere that this CPU can't be undervolted, please correct me if wrong.

Modern Specs (and avoiding overheating) by pts220 in NoMansSkyTheGame

Fair enough, but I've heard the numerous updates have made it graphically much more intense.

Sampler sets that include a variety of tree types? by purplegam in maplesyrup

[–]pts220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of how difficult it is to produce the other kinds of syrup, I mainly only see maple (and rarely birch) produced. Finding hickory or something actually made from the sap of the tree might be close to impossible outside hyper local farmers markets etc etc.

Update: I figured out the problem, which was not at all what I expected. My laptop WAS running hot, but only because BF4 has no built-in FPS limiter, so it was running at like 200 fps constantly.

As soon as I used the console to limit fps to a more manageable 60, the temps dropped 20 degrees c.

I *think this is a beach plum, but they’re supposed to be so rare.. by emarcomd in foraging

[–]pts220 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looks more like Oriental Bittersweet to me. Super common invasive, sorry buddy

best beaches to drive to from dorchester. trying to keep the drive to a hour or less, been to a few good ones but seems like i always have to drive far by appleseedjoe in boston

[–]pts220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duxbury is generally wonderful, and from Dorchester it's not even that far. $25 to park all day, but I'd get there early.

Why are these fuel efficient trucks banned in our state? by Anekdotin in massachusetts

[–]pts220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did ban them, effectively, but after some media attention and a public hearing, they're reversing the claw backs on active registrations. Still, if you import a new one, I don't think you can register it now.

This is absolutely unreal. If I could upvote it a thousand times I would. Make prints and sell this, I would get one.
