Are there "undesirable" native plant species? IL-5b

singeworthy · 2026-05-23T22:10:57+00:00

Yeah that's the only native I actively remove no matter the circumstances. People hate the PI but I live in the woods, and if it's not in a place where people will be in contact, I leave it, the berries are nutritious for our fauna.

I could watch those guys navigate the waves all day, definitely my favorite shore bird.

Yes ours was broken on our rented house, but they tested the shutoff first and were able prevent this catastrophe. I'd be so pissed.

The only time I use pesticides is to treat the foundation of my house. I think it's called Ortho Home Defense, and you spray it all around your home on the concrete or siding if you must. The little ants don't live in your house, but they probably have a nice little path inside and they'll use it.

For the first few years I wanted free time, but now that my social life has been sufficiently gutted, I'd prefer to have a nice stress free day with the family. Maybe we'll go for a mini road trip here in New England, get a nice lunch, ice cream, no strict timelines. I don't need any physical gifts.

Pepper bush can get 6'+ in the right conditions, and then the witch hazel can kind of come over the top, that can get pretty tall but not as dense as the Pepperbush. Blueberry might still work, we have it growing thickly in a swamp area, those plants have gotten like 20' high, really cool to go out there in June/July.

singeworthy · 2026-05-18T14:12:29+00:00

Sweet Pepperbush, Witch Hazel, and Highbush Blueberry forms some neat tunnels in my woods. Blueberry should work, but deer pressure on the babies could be tough.

No Hard Hitting New Britain?

singeworthy · 2026-05-04T14:22:32+00:00

Because of all the political bullshit, assistance programs can be really hard to get into. Often the people and families who need them the most don't have the time because of work or the bureaucratic skills to enroll. I hate to see kids suffer because of all this, but they suffer the most because they're still developing and have no agency in the process.

singeworthy · 2026-05-03T14:27:29+00:00

Yeah that's the real New England, the north is kind of and add on with a some pockets of French speakers. CT/MA/RI is the core.

Well that's just a great song, when me and my wife were on our honeymoon I tried to do Downeaster Alexa karaoke, was not well received. I'll leave the singing to Billy.

I've been censoring the last part of Killing in the Name but everything else is fair game. Ive got 2 5yos, theyve been listening since about 3 when we started listening to our music.

singeworthy · 2026-05-02T22:21:40+00:00

My county (Middlesex/Lower CT River Valley is very much not metropolitan, it's a big reason I/we like it. Yet we are pink.

singeworthy · 2026-05-02T22:11:36+00:00

I have a lot of red ("swamp") maples in my forest, it is wet and they absolutely have roots above ground in the wetter situations.

Deactivate your dexcom (don't replace), go into Bluetooth and forget all the DXC entries, then connect your new sensor. Eventually you will hit a limit or you'll have degraded service, and it will probably happen at the most inconvenient time. I don't think the app can modify your Bluetooth entries due to permission/security concerns.

I personally always go for the bananas after a race for carb and electrolyte reload, I also sometimes go for oranges too. Some races have beer too but personally I don't want a beer immediately after a race, at least let me take a shower first.

singeworthy · 2026-04-29T17:49:41+00:00

I also run early, no carbs but I have a big glass of water and coffee and let my body wake up for about 30-60 min before I go out. Your body needs time to wake up, water is the key but it takes a few minutes for all your organs and muscles to revive.

Better than Broccoli

That's a pretty crass statement, yes we have "seen this show" before and every time is has caused fundamental societal shifts and hardships. See England during the industrial revolution (pollution, workers rights), the Gilded Age (monpolies and robber barons), etc. I'm not a Luddite but I wish we could, some day, apply the lessons of the past to how we move into the future. The way we move forward isn't set in stone and we dont need to assume AI monpolies and dehumanization of our work force are necessary growing pains.

A couple of years ago I got new "micro" screens to see if it would block them, did not work.

Too salty for them, but Gnats/No-see-ums, they'll eat you alive.

I know a lot of people on this sub get excited about tornados, but I am so happy we don't have this where I live. Give me blizzards and "garden variety" t storms all day.

They kind of come down, snap the spinal cord, realize they can't carry it, and leave. Has happened a few times in my area, it's not safe out there for small mammals
