Interesting. I always thought you cut it short in fall to allow light to get to new seed. I thought the best way to dethatch was a power rake.

Also, generally speaking, I would agree that lawn is cut way too short, but again it depends on the grass. Bermuda kind of likes being kept short. St. Augustine looks better when it’s a bit longer.

Depends on the grass. Some go dormant in the colder months. Some don’t. In the south, St Augustine and Bermuda grasses are pretty popular. Both will go dormant if the area gets a decent winter. In the mid-Atlantic region, you’ll see tall Fescue handle winter just fine.

She’s peaked?

Computer for sell.

Still available?

Sure.

Can I pick it up tomorrow?

< >

And then when those same people sell their stuff…

Every time I see this, I look for information about the aftermarket space. I have an 11 year old car with a Pioneer deck.

This is the answer. Not just any Mi-5 agent. She’s unfortunately peaked one spot short of the top job. She’s too good to be placed in the political director’s position, and not political enough for it. If only Charlie had never met that American whore!

Me too. If there’s still time, give your buddy a hug from this internet stranger. We set an appointment for mine for tomorrow. It’s so surreal.

Jesus, read the room, man.

room == world news

At this point, it could still go either way. Make no mistake, we’ve already done, and will continue to do, profound damage to the environment and global climate that will take generations to reverse (if that’s even possible). That said, I think it’s going to need to get seriously worse before the world’s largest polluters have no choice but to go against the monied interests in fossil fuels and plastics. Like many very wealthy people are going to have to be directly affected by this is always that can’t be disingenuously explained away.

So sorry for you impending loss. I’m currently in the same boat, and it’s rough. The one silver lining is you get to plan it and make sure your buddy is comfortable and isn’t alone.

You sure you don’t mean a 737-MAX? They don’t make the 747 anymore, AFAIK, or is that just the passenger model that ended?

Exactly. If two people are making competing compelling arguments, they’ve both earned an upvote. Using Up/Down votes as a means to siding with someone is a good way to build an echo chamber.

Day to day is Yorkshire tea with a little sugar. Every now and then I like to mix some Darjeeling with licorice tea.

I’m surprised at the number of people who don’t know Weezer’s “Hashpipe” is about male prostitution.

Bull Durham is one of my favorite movies, and I’ve never seen a game there. Only ever saw them play the Tides in Norfolk.

My wife and I increasingly wish we lived overseas!

I didn’t think about that. I’ve only ever used it for 2 things, and only one of them was a new number. That was over 10-years ago.

Generally, I agree with this. Not quite w/ regards to Nike and some other brands, (most of Nike’s competitors, Apple) , since they put the logo on everything as part of their design asthetic. Whether you like that or not is personal choice, of course. Personally, I miss the old colorful Apple logo.

With luxury brands, yeah it’s a blatant cash grab extracting money from poorer people by selling them the mirage of owning something luxurious. The stuff you buy at the mall isn’t sold at their Rodeo Drive location! That said, some luxury brands do qualify for “buy it for life” status, though having the kind of quality isn’t exclusive to luxury brands (see also: Zippo lighters, and many many other solid, reasonably priced brands).
