“and we were young once, and sang songs about not giving a fuck, acting like we had some guts, well how 'bout now?”

j_roby,

All too often I take things out here for granted. This was a really nice reminder to stop and take it all in. “Smelling the roses” and what not.

This is probably in my top 5 favorite Pat tunes

“Are we making total destroy,
Or just making a living?”

j_roby,

Grower here: Definitely thrips.

They’re very easy to deal with when their numbers are still low, but get considerably more difficult as they continue to breed, and they breed rapidly in the right conditions.

I can offer advice on how to deal with them, but since my experience is with commercial crops, it’ll depend on how much work you’re willing to put into it or how much you’re willing to spend.

EDIT:

Blue sticky traps work very well at trapping them when they’ve reached the winged stages of their development. This will help slow down the breeding cycle, and also give you an idea of how bad the infestation is.

There are many commercially available predatory insects you can purchase, in varying price ranges, that will help keep their numbers in check.

Spraying with a product that contains the bacterial biological control agent Spinosad can be an effective knock down and it’s also been shown to have very low toxicity to the thrips’ natural predators.

Aes is one of my top 5 fav MC’s. Not sure how I missed this video being dropped, so thank you for sharing.

It looks like a chunk of the artwork for it was done by Jeremy Fish (who did the album art). He’s definitely worth checking out too

j_roby,

A decent headlamp. Flashlights are well and good, and sometimes necessary too. But if you’ve ever had to do something intricate with both hands in the complete dark, a good headlamp can be so much better in those situations

using coffee to clean grease off your hands -- and for showering

After working on a bicycle or an engine, hands covered in grease, I can confirm that coffee does the job. Spent coffee grounds are gritty like sand so they work amazingly well to get the grease off. I use a bar of soap at the same time which causes coffee grounds to get embedded in the bar. It’s a good thing too because it...

j_roby,

Ya know… You probably should have just ended the post after the first 2 paragraphs…

j_roby,

Nothing as profound as what you described there…
But… The Last Of Us was an experience for me…

I hadn’t played a “new” game in about 8-10 years at that point, so the huge increase in development was mind blowing to me.
But really, the intensity of the story is what really did it for me. I legit got teary eyed in the intro, and then the burning restaurant scene made me ball my eyes out…

Phenomenal fucking game

Or, to bring it back to my youth… The Illusion of Gaia was probably the first game I played that made me feel things. That was so long ago, and I was so young when that came out that being specific about it is hard. But I think I really related with the main character, and I remember really feeling things during the lost-at-sea raft scene.

I might need to go find the ROM now…

**Or, to go a bit further back, Dragon Warrior.
That was the first game I ever played that really captivated me. It was the first RPG I ever played, and even tho the storyline is incredibly basic and cliche, it was the first time I experienced a story at all in a video game. It’s definitely the reason that I prefer fantasy RPGs over every other type of game

j_roby,

Here’s a Lemmy friendly link to the sub

j_roby,

Thanks, I saw somewhere else that Mint was recommended for beginners too. I’ll look into that

j_roby,

Oregon be holding it down tho!

j_roby,

I have so many questions…

j_roby,

We were having issues with our security system at my work one week, which resulted in the alarm going off a lot. For the next several days we had magpies that were mimicking the alarm’s tone and rhythm almost perfectly.

j_roby,

I haven’t heard this tune in a looooong time… thanks for the nostalgia!!

j_roby,

Another good one to browse thru

j_roby,

This one always hits me in the feels, for sure

j_roby,

You should really read Robert Anton Wilson’s Prometheus Rising

You will love it.

j_roby,

The author was an absolute wingnut. But in the best way

j_roby,

I just listened to a handful of the tracks on this album. I dig it, and have it saved for a proper listen later. Thanks for sharing.

j_roby,

Words really can’t describe how weird it seems that you feel the need to create and moderate communities for every US presidential candidate.

You do not seem even remotely engaged enough politically to moderate ONE electoral candidate’s group, let alone every single one, even across party lines.

Are you trying to set the stage for astroturfing? Do you have a fetish for the negative attention this is bringing you? Or is it some weird control issue? Either way, this is all sus as fuck …

j_roby,

Ok, this one you didn’t. I stand corrected.

You’ve made communities for every single other candidate tho. And I still stand by my previous comment.

j_roby,

I remember you from the other day making shitty memes dunking on certain groups of people. So, I don’t really believe that there “no ill intentions”

You tried to play all innocent then too while spreading ignorant stereotypes and opinions until you eventually deleted the posts.

j_roby,

I’m 2-0 on getting you to delete shitty posts now. Please, make it 3-0 for me and delete these shitty communities that you have no business moderating

18+ How can I deal with strays?

::: spoiler Violence My home is in a very rural area in the US with no spay/neuter laws or animal control. It is also down a road that is the local traditional dumping ground for unwanted animals. We have our dogs, cats, and poultry here in a fenced area. Generally, strays can be chased off by shooting roman candles in their...

j_roby,

I don’t have an answer for you, but I feel your struggles. I also live in an extremely remote rural area and have to deal with certain issues that any of my urban friends would find appalling…

I wish you much luck in finding the most humane and kind way to dealing with your situation. 🙏
