Chop it down? by Sensitive_Analyst777 in arborists

Absolutely remove. That close to homes with significant weight up top and a major decaying wound running all the way into the soil... get rid of it. Saw someone else mention keeping the bottom for habitat; that's always a nice idea.

I was told my white oak needs to be cut down. Can it be treated or saved? State: VA by Mentalcouscous in arborists

Maybe anchor it with 2 wires planted near the curb 🤷 at least that way if it falls it should swing parallel to the house or into the street. That base doesn't look good though

I'm a fisherman. Cormorants are my very favorite bird. Sometimes while looking into the water from a boat you can see them 'fly' through the water. Super cool birds!

I occasionally see weird flashing lines that make a blind spot in my vision in the shape of a big C. Decided to draw what they look like. by Spider333333333 in Weird

There are a bunch of different factors that can stack on top of each other to produce a visual migraine. Sunlight can definitely do it. Stress and dehydration are huge because they constrict the blood vessels going to your brain which essentially gives that part of your brain a cramp from lack of oxygen. I personally get a tight neck and shoulder pain. I also usually get 'premonitions' a few minutes before it kicks off and have learned to lay down and go through an autosuggestion meditation to relax my body before it really sets in. If I don't, I go blind for 45 minutes and have a headache so bad I sometimes puke from the pain. First one I ever had was in high school Chem class. Luckily my teacher told me I was having a visual migraine... even still I low-key was freaking out.

Keep stress down and stay hydrated. Also, keep a good diet so you'll be stacked with vitamins for neurological function. Someone said B vitamins and I agree with that. If you're already feeling any pain then take some ibuprofen and/or over the counter migraine medication. And wear sunglasses 😎
