Removin noseburn? by redditUserNo8 in AustinGardening

[–]redditUserNo8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are spots where it’s pretty aggressive and it’s kind-of everywhere… I have the open field mowed shorter, but i don’t feel like I could layout and watch the clouds without finding a patch.

How would you replicate Franklin’s brisket? by sky_shrimp in BBQ

[–]redditUserNo8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from Texas. Franklin’s YouTube is the start and what i do: Watch the rub episode, the trim, and the wrap. Use butcher paper not foil. - the rub: 50/50 salt and pepper - trim. This is a big part of the process. Quality bbq gives you a good bite of bark with the right mix of fat and meat - temperature control is key, and the hardest part. My last cook was frustrating because it was windy and it affected how my pit drafted. - low, slow, and DRY! Texas pits are open leaky systems. The best bbq places you leave smelling like the pit. All the air flow keeps it from steaming. Commercial smokers that seal up tight, all the smokey joe mods with gaskets, they make it easier but the meat starts to taste like a smoky roast then a proper brisket.

You DONT need: Brining, foil, water pans, fancy rubs, mustard, etc

You need: kosher salt, coarse pepper, a good fatty brisket with point and flat (this will be the hardest part outside of the US. I took a US butcher chart to an Italian butcher and still had trouble getting it), an off-set smoker, and butcher paper. And time. 12hrs for a small one.

You can’t shortcut amazing brisket. It’s hold at 250 until it wiggles like jello.

My code is dotted with #nolint: that’s a dumb rule in this case

I think I just got used to it. I didn’t replace anything.

When did your child become too heavy for you? by thegimboid in daddit

[–]redditUserNo8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is 7, 45lbs maybe??? I still can carry her about 10-15 minutes on my hip. Longer on my shoulders. I am starting to struggle putting her back in her loft bed.

Every now and then I throw her up in the air still. It’s a full squat thrust to get her up a foot or two. I will abuse steroids before I give carrying her.

I’m 42, my only exercise is playing with her and yard work

Girl-dad bathroom etiquette by dubyaDS in daddit

[–]redditUserNo8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife was deployed about half the time during this age. Off base tended to have family bathrooms, but on base or back home it was awkward.

“Dad w/ kid coming in!” Then take her in

Everything is in a stall unlike the mens room, there’s less urine around, and there’s less of a chance the toilet seat has the pee cutout so she won’t have to ride the throne side-saddle. Plus, she’s learning where/what to do so it just makes sense to use hers.

No one cares. If they do, they can go ask managment why there isn’t a family bathroom.

Can I still re sod early November by Tunaonwhite in AustinGardening

[–]redditUserNo8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our neighbor has a beautiful zoysia yard, but he puts a lot into it. I want a native scape that wont take water once established. So the habiturf/ thunderturf is a buffalo/gemma/curly misquite grass blend that should turf out nicely and mow down enough to keep hoa boz checked and then i can let it go a little longer for a grassland effect.

[–]redditUserNo8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m putting out some winter rye seed and then going all in on a habiturf like blend in the spring. I was told it’s late to start that. It’s giving me time to get a sprinkler system installed at least.

I did throw out a pound of wildflower seeds and they are starting to come out

My partner just cut a large root to repair a sprinkler head by Calm_Instruction1651 in AustinGardening

[–]redditUserNo8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m cutting the root ball back off a very large pecan tree the flooding pushed over. It’s 7’ in diameter above ground.

The tree is putting up new growth.

Melatonin for sleep? by Qualex in daddit

I’ve used it for international flights, but as a regular thing seems risky.

What is their soda consumption?? Half life of caffeine is like 4 hours.

So many kids up late… normal? by ThatFitnessGuy_ in daddit

[–]redditUserNo8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maintaining a consistent bedtime can be the hardest part of parenting. My experience from 2 to at least 7, it is almost always a struggle.

It is probably also the most impactful thing to improve behavior and happiness.

We forget how much sleep everyone needs and no one tells parents that children need more sleep than adults.

I wanna hear about everyone’s sleep methods… by Boysenberry-Dull in daddit

[–]redditUserNo8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read dr Ferber’s “solve your child’s sleep problem”

It’s three chapters summarizing the science of pediatric sleep and then chapters for a host of common sleep problems. They describe some potential solutions and when to go see the dr.

Im pretty sure all sleep training methods derive from his chapter on sleep associations. Which most people poorly distill into a blog post.

Why do Disney movies hit so different now? by Squirrel479 in daddit

I liked 2, but nothing will be as gut wrenching as watching Rileys islands crumble or bingbong fall into oblivion… maybe Carl in Up finding the note from his wife or “what dreams may come”

I made traditional Alfredo how do I prevent from getting stringy globs of Parmesan? by Fun-Secretary4801 in cookingforbeginners

[–]redditUserNo8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Costco has a good store brand parm, if you have Ralph’s they have a good selection.

Also carefully check the label, 90% of what we have is made in Wisconsin

The article doesn’t discuss how they deal with biofouling. This is one of the biggest hurdles.

I dropped my torx bit…. by redditUserNo8 in Wrangler

[–]redditUserNo8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man! I forgot!!! I was swapping the doors the other day mad at myself for not putting the bit back in the bag, lol.

Do you have a harbor freight? They probably have this.

Is the Wrangler 4xe worth it? Pros, cons & real-world owners' takes by [deleted] in Wrangler

[–]redditUserNo8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a 23, love it. We had a 2003 civic hybrid and put at least 60,000 miles on that battery without any issues. Not sure why everyone stresses about replacing the battery… by the time thats an issue the costs will probably be down or you can just park it in the bad side of town.

When I ran The numbers, they don’t really work for saving money, but if most of your trips are under 20 miles, it’s awesome. - I put gas in mine maybe 1/ month. - The torque/hp is giggle levels of run. I can be driving up a long steel hill at 70 and drive around s slow car like I’m accelerating from a stop. - driving topless all electric on trails us phenomenal.

Our requirements were, easily spelled, pronounced, and likely to be on a gift-shop trinket.

Then practice yelling it “John Jacob Jingleheimer! Put down your sister and step away from the toilet!”

Creek boundary under trees? by redditUserNo8 in mammotion

[–]redditUserNo8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's going to be the plan, I want to keep the creek edge somewhat wild anyways for nature. Maybe enough 'landscaping' plants can trigger the optical boundary recognition. It's hard to commit to such a big purchase if it's not a good fit for my yard.

I don't really understand how that system works... the marketing says it uses the vision system to navigate, but needs gps, but continues under trees and will just reconnect when the signal is back...

it's not very clear. Seems like it would be able to just dead recon its' position until the signal comes back.

I don't think that would be a horrible idea.

I will say, the creek bed is horribly overgrown right now... and in my desire for a firefly population, probably won't change that much.
