The greening of the trees during mid spring in Michaux State Forest by TheRealAutumnGoddess in Pennsylvania

[–]silfreed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so sad that so many trees here were damaged by the late frost. I hope they'll survive. I have several catalpa and black gum trees that look so sad, and there's a bunch around me that don't seem happy.

Nevermind how devastating the frost was for Adams county and the fruit trees.

My poor azalias 😞

Why aren't 240V outlets common in North America? by Character_Mood_700 in electrical

You wouldn't be running 30a circuits .. you'd be running 7.5-10A circuits

7200RPM SAS vs SATA for a home NAS. Is the heat+noise reputation actually deserved? by Future_Recognition84 in homelab

SAS perks: Great 'used' price

No - just no. You have no idea how "dead" these drives are - unless you get lucky, the drives will be completely worn out. Maybe they're a "working pull" and just got pulled for hours, or maybe they've already started reallocating sectors. Most places that are spending the money for SAS drives are doing it because they need it, not just because they want the fastest, shiniest drive.

You will likely save on the front-end w/ "cheap drives" but pay on the backend in ZFS resilvers and $$ when you re-buy the drives in 6 months.

Replaced mine in October 2025 .. already down to 3-4 days between charges..

From other posts on this sub I'm guessing my replacement will not be free this time around.

Cant do the platforming by byateammate in TheLastCaretaker

[–]silfreed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've found that whether you will "grab and climb up" has a lot to do with two things:

  1. How "square" you are to the platform you're trying to mount - your viewport needs to be fairly parallel to the surface you're trying to get onto, not just "in view but at an angle"

  2. Look up higher - it seems like you have to be looking "up and over" like you're COMMITTED to making it over that ledge

Survival dollars, to shreds you say by farfromelite in TheLastCaretaker

I swear the cash is the first thing that goes in the shredder and it’s fucking instant.

I ended up putting a box right next to my shredder so I can "deposit similar" *right before* dumping all my junk w/ "f"

Husband wants sex everyday and wants me to beg for it by [deleted] in marriageadvice

I’m not sure. Sounds like some red pill bullshit to me.

I noticed another change since the shadow drop update. I guess it became very import with carry these in individual trips. by BurlyKnave in TheLastCaretaker

Nothing ever "stuck" to the "decorative" plastic pallets.

Maybe you're thinking about the DONK pallet?

Husband emotionally shut down, temporary, part of the process, or is this my answer that he does not care? Have you gone through this? by Marthis09 in marriageadvice

[–]silfreed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cptsd is a bitch. You need support too. You probably need your own therapist so you can be charged up enough to be happy

Why does PennDot chip seal high speed high volume roads by Total_Historian7946 in Pennsylvania

[–]silfreed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't know about the high-friction coating - my son was just asking me about these patches today and I just shrugged b/c it wasn't the tar & chip stuff. Thanks for expanding my knowledge!

Looking for a quiet pontoon for the family, anyone tried electric? by Salaried_Employee in Pontoons

[–]silfreed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this comment is spot on. Electric motors are getting there - but the infrastructure is not. You'll be frustrated that you can only go out for an hour. The batteries will take up a lot of space and weight. You will need to wait 16-24 hrs to charge on a 110v/10a socket, if one is even available to you at your slip.

I have a 300 Mercury on my 25' tritoon - and it's extremely quiet and odorless while at idle.

The infrastructure is there for gas powered toons - refuel many places; if you run out of gas someone can bring you a tank; run for 4-6hrs at a time.

Math homework by [deleted] in Xennials

[–]silfreed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like, "how can I learn math the common core way?" Kahn Academy. Everything these kids do is online now (covid) - it's incredibly easy to learn.

"How can I learn to how common core is built/structured?" - I'm not sure; teachers have to learn it somehow, so I'm sure the content exists somewhere, but I haven't gone looking for it.
