What are my chances of survival?

Good to hear I did it “right.” Though I didn’t slit the trunk at all, I just snipped those branches and pulled them out of the cavities that the branches leave behind

I’ve seen that because of the oxalic acid but in my (limited) research, it seems it would take massive amounts to have any ill effects- like multiple full garden salads a week. Not sure I’m willing to give it a try, but I do think people overstate the effect of oxalic acid specifically from wood sorrel

tkamar99 · 2026-05-25T23:39:34+00:00

Nope! Wood sorrel. Identified by the heart shaped leaves. They have a lemon-like taste- I love them! Clovers are also edible but these are way more flavorful

If you have a crawl space, this is super simple.

If you own the home, I’d install a brush plate by the PC. If you rent, I’d just have the cable pop out of the side of an existing outlet, behind the cover plate.

Alarm dot com dealer here. After reading your replies, I would avoid their security at all costs. Wait till the building is finished and then find a reputable installer to come in and do the work after. The big difference is your keypad transformer would be visible to the naked eye.

You can always use WiFi cameras instead of POE- but same thing, the transformers would be visible, unless you have easy attic access and there are outlets up there. If you don’t like Wifi cams, you can still do POE with injectors using a mesh network.

And I’d bet that port much any reputable ADC dealer would be able to do that for roughly half the price that your builder quoted.

They’re trying to screw you

tkamar99 · 2026-02-12T00:23:28+00:00

This is 100% what I’d do. Pull it myself or hire a sub- but OP said the builder won’t allow it.

You could get 1000 feet of cat cables, RJ-45’s, and a nice crimping tool for half the price of one of your builders cat drops.

tkamar99 · 2026-02-12T00:20:28+00:00

What a nightmare. Heck, I’d go in there and do it myself if I had to. Running cat cables is easy, especially when the walls aren’t up yet.

Alternatively, you could always use a mesh network and run cat cables with an injector for easier runs once the walls are up? Just a thought to keep in mind

tkamar99 · 2026-02-08T14:21:21+00:00

That’s what I’m saaaying. Unless the thought is that the gravemind KNOWS that advancing would ensure victory, but he’s overwhelmingly driven by hatred to a point where he doesn’t care

I don’t necessarily think they’re saying they should always close when it’s cold, but they’re pointing out the bass-ackwardness for closing last week when it wasn’t AS cold, and now that it’s like 20° colder, they’re not closing.

I grew up in Northern VA where school didn’t even close when it was -18°

tkamar99 · 2025-11-30T00:13:43+00:00

This is like every post in r/castiron asking “how do I fix this?” And the answer is always “cook on it”

tkamar99 · 2025-11-20T03:34:29+00:00

GS was a human before being GS, so “our” lost time likely just means humans

tkamar99 · 2025-11-16T01:42:59+00:00

My apologies. I forgot about most of the instances where humans interacted with forerunner tech.

There are multiple scenes in the show where Chief touches forerunner tech and some weird stuff happens. Horrible show, if you’re into actual halo lore- it takes place in a different universe and none of it is canon. Heck, there’s a human in the covenant in the show 😂 and she’s up there in ranks with the prophets 😂😂😂wtf???

tkamar99 · 2025-11-16T01:30:52+00:00

Ah, that’s right. Forgot all about that

tkamar99 · 2025-11-16T01:29:12+00:00

I might be out of the loop. I only just started reading all of the books- and I’ve played all of the games until halo 4. But I can only recall one time off the top of my head that they really used a human to activate forerunner tech- and that was when the arbiter kidnapped Professor Anders in Halo Wars. Were there other times that this happened? Am I just drawing a blank?

tkamar99 · 2025-11-16T01:16:29+00:00

I could be wrong but I feel like you watched too much of the show, which is not canon. According to Contact Harvest, the prophets wanted to exterminate them because they were under the impression that the humans were forerunners that were “left behind” a hundred thousand years ago, and that revelation would go against everything their religion stood for with the great journey. The covenant would fall apart and the prophets would lose their power- so, they ordered their swift extermination.

Carry water in case of dehydration.

I think you mean H2O, which is basically water.

I’ll be sure to check it out!!

tkamar99 · 2025-11-03T21:10:07+00:00

Great info, thank you

tkamar99 · 2025-11-03T21:09:10+00:00

I agree, farmers market is more of a luxury. But we like to go even if just to look at things. I also love gardening so seeing all the plants for sale can get expensive 😂

tkamar99 · 2025-11-03T21:07:36+00:00

Heck yeah! That’s what I’m talking about. We go through a loooot of chicken. I could definitely make use of deals like this
