Third time for a lot of them.

Another option to consider is a sub irrigated planter.

Certain people really feel the need to point out how much they don’t like her. You could probably add a word filter on your lemmy app to hide posts with pizzacake in the title. Wouldn’t catch all of them, but the last few I’ve seen have had the artist name in the title.

I agree that it looks like a wren. Merlin, the bird id app from Cornell, also suggested a few different wren species.

Is that a forecast or fanfic?

If I could eat goat cheese by the bucket without getting sick I absolutely would. Easily my favorite soft cheese.

That’s the first I’ve heard of that. Pretty cool how different engineering concerns arise due to local differences. Thanks for sharing!

That’s news to me! If you’ve heard it from a reliable source then I’d keep on doing it, though. I will say that I personally haven’t had issues with termites despite mulch right against the house, but it was a one time application to get plants established.

Realistically I think you should just keep the grass and stop watering your foundation perimeter. Any cracking or shrinking is temporary and inconsequential.

However, if you really want to get rid of grass around the foundation, go for a perennial bed of native plants. They’ll look better than grass, won’t need near as much water, and may even attract pollenators or birds.

If you go the gravel route, which I think you would end up regretting, remember that you will end up with weeds growing in it no matter what. Enough organic matter will eventually accumulate to allow weed seeds to sprout, then you’d be stuck with a much more manual maintenance problem than you have now.

If your only concern is termites, there are perimeter termite poisons you can get and apply, or any pest control service would likely be able to do that for you.

The $30k leaf sticker price seems fair for this.

Oil changes, spark plugs, coolant, transmission fluid, and belts are all things I’ve had to maintain for my partner’s car in the past few years that my EV doesn’t need.

I would have believed this car was a Kia without a second thought if I saw it on the road with that badge. That’s not a compliment for either company, unfortunately.

When the loss of a queen wasp triggers a power struggle and social turmoil, colonies can survive the upheaval thanks to helpful wasps that pick up the slack, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.

Still not entirely sure.

Wrong post?

That’s what I was referring to by novel length pages. Feels like those predate the recent LLM stuff though.

Does axios not know what paragraphs are?

I tried giving minimal information and still got similar results.

When I think about what got worse about the internet, it’s mostly the life stories before recipes, the novel length pages to maybe answer a simple question, and pretty much anything else related to SEO.

An example of number 4, there’s a poster I’ve seen on reddit that’s posting very relevant content, but then every post ends with “@xxxxxxxx on all socials”. It just takes the whole thing from content I might want to engage with to the exact opposite.

Search used to be so good. I had an old Honda civic that suddenly wouldn’t start. It wasn’t the starter, alternator, or battery. I managed to find a forum post with my exact issue, which was that a small rubber piece on the clutch pressed a button to “tell” the starter it was okay to start. Twenty minutes later I had zip tied a piece of plastic into place and had a working car again.

If I tried to diagnose that same issue today, it’d be dozens of SEO garbage slop sites without any actual useful information.

Wasn’t that Amazon and their “just walk out” grocery store system?
