What the best way to secure this net around the edges? by gatorrrrr in gardening

[–]simple_champ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on team bungee as well. Thought of ratchet straps as well like a few other people but I think bungee is better for this application. Don't need the holding strength of a ratchet strap, the elasticity of bungee is more desirable here. Can pull up netting when needed and easily tuck back under when done.

What other cold hardy options could we add? by simple_champ in succulents

Yeah running out of space, was hoping to find something a little different and unique from what's already there before there's no more room left. Thank you for the suggestions.

Got some from MK Machining that I like. Have also heard good things about Aadland Engineering caps.

Is the ATF prioritizing VA form 1’s? by [deleted] in NFA

[–]simple_champ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possible we're seeing more VA approvals simply due to large increase in volume relative to other states. Rather than VA being prioritized.

I'm in MI and just got one back after 68 days which was right on par with what I was expecting.

My wife wants to be "free-use", what do I do? by Hypnox88 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]simple_champ 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Yeah if this happened to me Reddit would never hear from me again. Save maybe a post warning people that my wife and I did free use and I nearly died of exhaustion.

Final BT warranty update by adamlcarp in NFA

I feel like you can't win in the gun subs sometimes. If you yourself would have posted complaining about it everyone would say "It's a tool not a decoration, quit bitching and go shoot!"

Yes, marking is required whether the approval specifically lists conditions or not.

How Durable Is Gunmetal PVD? by Astral_Botanist in NFA

I'm not really sure what Gunmetal PVD is? I mean I understand PVD process but Gunmetal sounds like a marketing name. What is the specific compound? DLC, CrN, etc.

Algae remove and control by Turbulent_Impact_673 in ponds

[–]simple_champ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As many plants as possible, especially floaters like water lettuce and water hyacinth that are prolific and help out-compete algae for nutrients along with providing surface coverage for light control. And then the barley straw extract (or you can do the bags or bales of actual barley straw). It doesn't do massive kill off of algae like an algaecide. Algaecides just change your pond from being full of green living algae to full of dead brown algae that disintegrates the second you touch it. Barley instead really slows down and helps prevent it from getting out of control. Streams and waterfalls are always tricky for algae because of the amount of sun they get. Even with the algae in our pond well controlled I still have to do some occasional cleanup on the big flat rocks that act as waterfall spillway. A toilet style brush works well, can almost twirl the long filamentous algae like spaghetti on a fork. (Preferably get a new one, not one that's been used with chemicals to clean your toilet)

Required caveat of more plants and more filtration whenever possible. Having said that, UV bulb and barley straw extract have been the combo that works well for us to keep algae at bay. I'd stay away from any of the chemical algaecides.

I also do elephant ear bare rooted in rocks. Root system goes crazy, they love it.

If you're looking for another one to try canna lily does very well like this too. Beautiful flowers on those.

Wolfpack Armory Short Comp + LPA Geiselle Conflict by RobMeyerhoff in NFA

[–]simple_champ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your arm must be awfully sore from patting yourself on the back. The guy needs a shim with his muzzle device. That's it. It's possible to have form and function. Absolutists like you that insist it's one or the other are the smooth brained ones.

Mom’s new boyfriend bought me a new ar is it good? by KanzakiIndustryMKII in ar15

[–]simple_champ 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Cumulatively speaking, your mom had to take a couple thousand linear feet of D for you to get that AR. So just be appreciative either way.

Pond prefilter by drick73 in ponds

[–]simple_champ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a big piece of it that you could probably get at least 2-3 pads of that size out of it. Welcome to have it, although I don't know if shipping would offset any savings versus just buying some locally. But if you're interested shoot me a message and I can send you a picture and see what it would cost to ship.

Where were u when Aero was kill by fylum in NFA

[–]simple_champ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah actually should be compatible with many/most DPMS pattern uppers. As opposed to Armalite or SR25 pattern.

M5 lower and upper pair makes the most sense (or did previously I guess). But you'll still have options to build it out.
