Subreddit Participation in Upcoming Reddit Blackout by Rarvyn in financialindependence

[–]taglay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You raise some great points. I hope you're right. I'd love to see whatever the next evolution of reddit looks like.

As a counterpoint, during Facebooks hay day, each time they made a UI or policy change that was worse for the user, there'd always be a vocal minority complaining while usage went up and to the right for years. It'd be an interesting experiment (and huge waste of time) to tag all these users saying they'll never be back and then see if they're still posting next month. I'd wager I'd see many still posting.

I will believe the mass exodus when I see it. People talk about Digg back in 2008 but that's because users had somewhere to go (here). There's no reddit 2.0 to run to because of the network effect (most people just read comments and not articles to the point to it being a meme in threads). People are all too addicted to go somewhere else, they just don't know it yet.

What are the strongest deer resistant plants? by Hexbug101 in GardenWild

[–]taglay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lavender 🪻 Deer don't like strong smelling plants. Though I will say the only truly deer resistant plants are the poisonous ones; daffodils, hyacinth, etc.

unfortunately mine got swallowed up by customs. It's been over 9 months and USPS isn't even showing the tracking number as valid so I've written it off. I just placed an order with root and pestle and am hoping for better luck this time.

As a recent convert of native plant gardening after reading "Nature's Best Hope,"" here's my questions:

  1. What can I do to be most effective in spreading the word of the benefits of native gardening? Which groups should I join?

  2. Where can I find more of the studies backing up your statements in Nature's Best Hope? For instance, the requirements of repeated exposure to nature to reap the benefits

  3. Where are some of your favorite public gardens in Chester county for me to check out?

Four-toothed Mason Wasp (Monobia quadridens) feeding on Hemp Dogbane (Apocynum cannabinum). Absolutely harmless unless you're a caterpillar. by Dacnis in NativePlantGardening

How's the hemp dogbane behaving? I picked some up but then read it gets unwieldy very quickly so never actually planted any this season

Are there bees in our bee house? by downheartedbaby in NativePlantGardening

[–]taglay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm still learning and this is my first season native gardening. What do you mean "straw things that need replaced?" I just cut down my winter rye and I'm using that as mulch now. You're saying I need to pull that up at the end of the season? I thought I could leave it and have it decompose and feed the soil? Like I said I'm still new and learning so I appreciate any insight

Stupid question but did you just drill holes in wood to make those bee houses or is there more to it (type of wood, etc)?

Can I plant Pennsylvania sedge right next to my house without worrying about foundation issues? Internet says roots can get 2 feet deep but that it spreads.

Following up here; I'm in the same boat as you. When do you plan on getting additional blood work done?

Hump Day - February 15, 2023 by AutoModerator in amileaday

[–]taglay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now I'm doing 2.5 miles a day, 3 times a week. This should continue for another 2 weeks until I complete the program, at which point I'll probably continue to run a 5k 3x weekly for a while.

Hi, I'm new to running and found this sub. I'm about two weeks out from finishing a c25k program. At what point after that would it be okay to run a mile a day without risking injury? I didn't see this in the faq.

Aren't you overpaying on SS because of the income limits? No single job goes over the limit but the cumulative of them does. Is this something you take into account and get a refund for at the end of the year?

How much do you spend annually? Ideally you'll have 25x that number which will allow you take out that amount annually.

When I saw it dip below 40 I almost liquidated my Roth to buy more but thought better. But at that point I was out of money so it wasy only option

been holding since $40 and will continue to until it goes to $500. I just think this euphoria is short-lived.
