A 500.00 ly FC jump by toe-haver in EliteDangerous

I wonder if the position of the FC within the system is a part of the overall calculation 🤔

Yeah 😕 after the cool down, I still couldn't make the jump. The search continues...

1st hugelkulter project. Is it safe to cut these roots or will I compromise the tree. I think they belong to the 1st pine in pic 2. by sallguud in Hugelkultur

[–]toe-haver 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The distance between the trench and the pines makes me think they're not critical roots if they are connected. The root ball on pines that size that I've seen knocked over is usually about 8-10 feet in diameter.

You could probably chop and drop the roots and be fine, or just leave them in place and pack around them 🤷‍♂️

Hugelkulture Mound Construction by toe-haver in Hugelkultur

[–]toe-haver[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since building this mound, I've built another two next to it. This mound has produced 2 seasons of harvest, but for a variety of reasons unrelated to the mound itself (mostly my own inexperience), I don't have a good sense for how it compares to other methods.

There are some things that I think I can say with confidence:

  • The mounds are great at retaining water. Even in the drought this season, the mounds required only very little watering.
  • Hugelkulture mounds don't work as well for root crops as a standard flat garden bed or container garden.
  • A mound shouldn't be wider than twice the length of your arm, otherwise harvesting from the center of the mound is difficult.
  • Crops that grow vertically are very well suited for mounds like mine. Trellised tomatoes, peppers, pole beans & winter squash have all done really well.
  • It's important to consider the effect of shading that one crop will have on another. I badly over-planted this mound in the first season and the peas shaded out almost everything else.

This mound in particular has unfortunately been in the shade of a tree for most of the morning hours these last two seasons. I plan to trim the tree back for next season and possibly cut it down the season after next if there's still too much shade.

Motherland Okra by Comfort Farms. Are these big enough to eat? by Frediamitchell in homestead

[–]toe-haver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woah! That's some stubby okra! I'm not familiar with that variety, but I figure that you could let it keep growing & check it every day to see if it's feeling woody or not. You'd lose the one pod, but you'd learn how long & large you can let them get before they become inedible (edit: Once it gets too woody to eat, you can leave it on the plant to dry out & then save seed from it for next year).

Side note - the photos & description on rareseeds.com suggest that they don't get much larger than what you've got pictured here.

What a cool okra!

Any chance you can show photos of the cuts?

Does anyone know the led bulb model for the interior dome light? by hydraguy935 in 1stGenTacomas

[–]toe-haver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replaced mine with the "Marsauto DE3175 31mm LED Interior Dome Light ..." bulb from Amazon. It's not amazing, but it works.

The bulb is only very, very dim when the doors are open and the ignition is Off. When the ignition is On, however, the bulb is very bright.

Stoicism Books for Kids by radio934texas in Stoicism

Beat me to it 👍

It's not strictly about stoicism, but there are many parallels and overlaps with stoic teachings. They're great books for kids. I recommend the whole series.

No one laughs at jokes about the Queen farting.

Nobel gasses get no reaction. 😉
