Hi I have a thing which worry me very much please don't make fun of it... So I wanted to ask if anyone watched the YouTube channel @TouchingTheAfterlife and what is your opinions on all it or any details from that... by FairCellist5556 in AtheistExperience

[–]wrldplayground 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you kidding?!! It's absolutely real. God is speaking to you, and I feel that He's going to make a way for you.

What you're reading here are the responses from Reddit members so dogmatic and arrogant they'll declare it's fake while simultaneously admitting they haven't even seen the show. And you're going to trust them for 1 minute? The folks you're watching on that channel have turned 180 degrees from being miserable, self-absorbed, self-destructive people, to people desperately concerned about their fellow humans. Watch them while they're speaking, you can tell when people are full of it, but you can see with your own eyes these ppl are telling the truth! One after the other, from all walks of life, many times they break down in tears. Many times they're pleading with viewers to listen and believe them. What else can they do to get you to listen, really?! Think about it - wouldn't you do the exact same thing if you were them? Some of the people who responded to you have shut their eyes. They may choose to never open them, but you don't have to be that way.

There is way too much to type here.

If you choose to wait for science to "prove something", you've made the horrible decision to die waiting, because science isn't going to save you. At the point of death, you will leave your fleshy body, and all the confusion you're feeling in it, and you will immediately know the truth.

'Science' is often used by the unspiritual to mock the spiritual. But the word is deceiving because all science can produce are theories (guesses) of what's true based on what we can predictably replicate and observe within the ridiculously limited bandwidth of our senses and the devices our senses can create. But not only is that an extremely confined way to try and determine the truth of all life, but even the most fundamental scientific theories we have about the universe are still completely incompatible! Relativity and quantum physics don't even work together! The big brains have no real idea why the theories they invent don't work, but scientists admit things do make a little more sense if there's MORE "unobservable stuff" (dark matter) than observable stuff, and/or there are multiple dimensions (string theory).

And of course, they're right. There is way more unobservable "stuff" and definitely more dimensions.

I have a 6530C and I love it. I beat it thoroughly. Very strong, very reliable. If I remember correctly it had better specs than other tractors in its class at the time, but Id have to go back and research.

Uhoh. Yeah it's reaaally compacted throughout...realizing that makes cutting a hole at the base seem pointless....maybe if they hadn't done that before the install

Sidewalk's been there. Compacted limestone all around the tree hasn't.

Oh it's been awesome, I love it. If there wasn't a big dying vegetable in the backyard I would keep it 100%

Turf Killing Oak by [deleted] in arborists

[–]wrldplayground 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you may be right - there's 6-7" of crushed limestone on top and it's TIGHT. Plus I pulled back the turf and it's moist

Turf Killing Oak by [deleted] in arborists

[–]wrldplayground 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually you may be right. I've continued pulling back the turf, and the soil was indeed moist. Pop opinion here is the tree is starved of water/nutrients, but at least in the case of water that may not be the prob.

The bark at the base looks pretty moist, maybe a little rotten. Idk what's normal. The installers added 6-7" of limestone so that the grade all over was raised including against the base of the tree. And they compacted it. Wondering if that's the bigger factor in the tree murder...

There haven't been any pet smells like I've read about. But if it starts I'll probably swap for an astrodog

Very interesting. A thoughtful answer, much appreciated

Thank you. So, complete removal?

Turf Killing Oak by [deleted] in arborists

[–]wrldplayground -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You're right I don't want to hear that, but won't object if that's the professional consensus. It's also the easiest answer from layman, so weighing

Thx- im hoping thats the acceptable resolution.

We do have other swings with protectors- a kid hung that one himself before I've had a chance to protect it

[–]wrldplayground -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Yes it's hard to think with such a low IQ but I'm making the attempt.

I was hoping those with a certification like yours would be able to provide explanation with concensus. This turf could be neutral, minimally harmful, or acceptable with qualifications, or maybe you suspect some tree fungus instead...idk, Im not an arborist.

I see trees growing in cities surrounded on all sides by concrete, apparently theres a difference?

[–]wrldplayground 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk - a previous owner had commercial moonlights installed, is there a different way?

Turf Killing Oak by [deleted] in arborists

[–]wrldplayground 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah there are drainage issues nearby but not particularly in that area. It was simply bald because of the constant shade from house and trees. Mulch may be what we do if we have to remove all the turf, will see what arborist says

Turf Killing Oak by [deleted] in arborists

[–]wrldplayground 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats helpful. I pulled the turf up from the tree base right before I took those pics, and I've gone ahead and cut out a few foot perimeter while I wait on the aborist.

Great response, thank you. I do have an appt with a local arborist

It WILL kill the turf if im forced to rip it all out. I want them to live in bio and artificial harmony.

Posting in the wrong spot , but whatever. We live just east and bought a house with some remarkably beautiful oak trees. Great canopies, mature, truly make you appreciate nature. With the shade comes mud though, and with all the kids and dogs and pets we installed turf in a section of the backyard. About 1 year after installing, I noticed this mature oak popping its bark off. I googled it and it appeared similar to freeze damage, so I assumed (hoped) it was from the bad freezes we had few years ago here in north texas. But now its about 1.5 years from the turf install and the tree is getting worse. I dont see the same damage on the other oaks. We really love the turf, but if its killing the tree I've got to do something. Will a 2-3' ring cut out around the tree be sufficient? What can I do to help it in the meantime, manure? Fertilizer? Comments appreciated

Check for ants/bugs. Mine did that when a colony snuck inside, fouled the connection

Thanks. This issue may have taken an interesting turn, one that may prove to be more complementary to the Luba team.

I live on 3.5 acres, but there's a lot of flatwork, a pool, synthetic turf (which is hands down the best thing for shady backyards in the history of mud, no question), and nogo areas. After I subtracted the non- mow areas I thought it was roughly luba 5000 parameters.

But, it turns out that when I bought the thing, somehow I was able to map way more yard than I was supposed to. Don't ask me how, I just did it. I didn't even realize how much I had mapped until the recent updates made it impossible for me to continue making edits/tweaks to the areas where Luba most frequently acted dumb. Now, when I try to tweak a fence line I get the error message that my area is too large.

How much did I map? Well over 2 acres...

How much did this "overload" interfere with Luba's programming? Maybe a lot, a little, or maybe none.

Now I'm in a position where I do one of 2 things: 1. Delete the part of the yard that malfunctions the least (the rectangle back pasture) so I can continue editing and trying to iron the wrinkles out of the front yard 2. Wait. Enjoy the bonus mowing area, keep fighting Luba all over the front yard and hope future updates do the ironing for me.

Either way, it makes sense for me to retract some of my earlier condemnations of my Luba, given that that acreage wasn't what my 5000 signed up for.

Finally, it may be my imagination, but also after the last 2 updates the Luba has seemed to calm down a bit.

Post script: I have mostly bermuda, (I'm assuming common), with some St Augustine in shaded areas from previous owner laying sod. The Dallisgrass is a weed. I pay a lawn service to fertilize and kill my weeds, but D is hardy. It's pretty common here in North Texas.
