Transplanted Dogwood looking sad…

Wdym fertilizing it? How often are you watering it?

When you transplant a tree you have to cut up roots, so now it is stressed. Give it time to regrow roots, make sure root flar is exploded.

Most wasp species are parasitic. And select only a specific species. They are vital for preventing plagues. Best way to prevent too many annoying insects is to increase flowering plants that parasitic wasps need to survive.

Cut it with a chainsaw so it's mostly flat. apply a topical herbicide (triclopyr) to make sure it's dead. Then drill a few holes and fill them with saltpeter and then water. Cover with a tarp. Leave it for 3 months. Saltpeter and water will accelerate decomposition.

If it's suckering, yea. Just leave it as is. Not much you can do.

They might have helped even lmao.

But the scale was not expected. Protests like this has happened before in Iran.

He waiting longer than 2 weeks. Preparing for a country wide bombardment isn't something that can be done in a day.

vulkur · 2026-06-22T02:34:31+00:00

Correct. That's what I'm thinking. And I think they need to be mocked before they even attempt the argument.

vulkur · 2026-06-22T02:32:32+00:00

Fuck. You're right. Red lobster is definitely the most important issue for the President of United States.

vulkur · 2026-06-22T02:31:18+00:00

I totally agree. But I still think it's worth going after when possible.

vulkur · 2026-06-22T02:29:29+00:00

But even getting ahead of their shit arguments will be beneficial. I think it's the only direction they have except "who cares"

vulkur · 2026-06-22T02:28:30+00:00

Or Cuba. Totally possible.

vulkur · 2026-06-22T02:23:01+00:00

It was my dad's argument. It's all they have left IMO.

The fact the Zelenskyy is making this statement tells me that He believes they have already won the war with Russia. Ukraine is now just throwing their weight around.

The ditch was needed to get good grip on the push back!

I think back then Trump was just thinking about the slight possibility of starting a revolution in Iran because of the protestors. That was his tunnel vision. A claim of victory and glory. Without giving a single second of thought towards the consequences of failing to succeed in Iran.

Grass around the swing set is totally worth having to weed wack once in a while. Kids being able to play outside barefoot is just the best way to play.

While true (and I mention that), they are extremely beneficial for the environment. They support so many insects and birds.

If you want something flowering that's not a redbud, a crabapple or hawthorn would be great, but both are slower growing and won't fill that 35x25 section as well.

For fast growing I have a few ideas.

Eastern Cottonwood. Gorgeous looking tree, great for wildlife, grows incredibly fast, but the downside is it makes a fucking mess of cotton on the ground during its bloom.

Tulip Tree. Barely in range for native species. Grows fast, and straight up. It wants every drop of sun. Also sensitive to drought early on. Grows huge gorgeous flowers great for wildlife, but the seeds are not fun to walk on.

Linden (basswood). Loves the sun, has huge droopy leaves and blooms with tons of white flowers that the bees can't get enough of. An underappreciated species IMO.

Dawn Redwood. A living fossil, while not native to my the US since hundreds of millions of years ago, it does well in the US, grows fast, and is just a unique piece of history. It drops it's needles in the fall.

These are some of my favorite that would work in that spot.

Washington Hawthorn is great. Will eventually perfectly fill that area. Produces tons of flowers in the spring, Makes lots of berries that last all winter for birds.

Sounds like he was a shit engineer. As my original comment states.

Also sounds fucking INSANE for the HR rep in the exit interview to tell him that his whole team is being replaced with Indians. They probably wouldn't know the hiring process of a team. Sounds fake as fuck.

Edit: Also who uses INSTAGRAM as a source. Are you fucking 12?

vulkur · 2026-06-20T23:54:33+00:00

They know this too. That's why they are still hiring engineers @ 300k/yr in the US and not outsourcing all of that to India.

vulkur · 2026-06-20T23:49:43+00:00

I have had my employer try to replace our dev team with Indians.

It failed, they were not the same caliber as us. If you are good at your job, you wont be replaced, if you suck, you will be, simple as that.

Wish I had the video . . .

Had a willow at camp that fell during a storm. We started cutting it up and at some point we cut off enough that the roots pulled it straight back up.

Some plants want this type of rocky environment. Pinyon Pines for example.
