I’m the King of Dragon Pass. Without using a guide…

The world’s bad six inches, or the world’s bad? 🤔

My boss expects this kind of progress every iteration.

No one insults me, so these aren’t field tested.

“Oh yeah? Well, the jerk store called and they’re running out of you.”

“I don’t want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!”

“Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.”

“What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

No, it works under the faucet. You’re just impatient because it didn’t turn on after 1ms, so you move your hand closer and it turns on so you think it’s nearsighted.

Depending on the state, you may be able to get access via the health insurance marketplace.

It would be easier to just admit you didn’t read the whole thing before you shared it. It’s a shit study, like I said, and you’re wasting your time trying to make it support your opinion.

You can throw more copy pasta at me, if you want, but their results are what they are. I’ll reiterate…

Suburban lawns support a diverse bee population: “4.1. Diverse and abundant suburban bee communities. For this study, we documented 93 species of bees collected from the lawn-dominated yards (Appendix A1). These 93 species represent roughly a quarter of bee species recorded in Massachusetts, include 14 Massachusetts county records, and featured the highly abundant Lasioglossum illinoense, a species not recorded in Massachusetts since 1920 (Lerman and Milam, 2016). Other urban bee studies have also amassed impressive species lists (e.g., Baldock et al., 2015; Fetridge et al., 2008; Matteson et al., 2008; Pardee and Philpott, 2014; Tommasi et al., 2004), dispelling the notion that cities are “biological deserts” and support findings that bees can be abundant and diverse in urban settings (Hall et al., 2017). In addition to being primarily native species and soil-nesters, the majority of the Springfield bees were small-bodied (Appendix A1), suggesting that these short-distance fliers took advantage of the floral resources in the study lawns, especially yards mowed every two weeks.”

Mowing more frequently was better for the bees: “Mowing frequency altered the evenness of bees within suburban yards, though the patterns we observed did not fully support our hypothesis, in that lawns mowed every week and every three-weeks had higher evenness (Fig. 4d) and richness (Rarefaction curves; Fig. 2) when compared with the two-week treatment.”

Oh, you didn’t need to do that. You won’t find a study supporting your argument, I’ve looked thoroughly before. Case in point, the study you shared. It actually opposes your argument, by finding suburban lawns support a diverse and abundant bee community. Of the three mowing frequencies they studied (one, two, and three week intervals), they actually found every two weeks was optimal for the bees.

Like I said to begin with, I just don’t think what species of green you plant in your lawn matters nearly as much as not using insecticide.

I didn’t look too deeply at the cast, but Jenna Ortega is in this.

If she ends up in a remake of The Munsters, I’m afraid she is gonna typecast herself.

We knew dinosaurs were scaly, too. Everything deserves further study, and it’s foolhardy to advise everyone to rip up their lawns and plant…what, exactly? White clover, another invasive species.

I’ve seen a lot of opinion pieces about the matter, but they never cite any research that definitely pins substantive loss of biodiversity on lawns. It’s an issue globally, but as usual the individual is the scape goat instead of the exponentially greater impact of corporations.

Bugs don’t care what type of green you have in your lawn. You can even mow.

Just don’t spray insecticide on your lawn.

Edit: also, why the fuck would you remove existing lawn to replace it with new growth? That’s like indiscriminately bulldozing every home in a city to rebuild them with whatever is the current trend in sustainable housing. Where do people live in the mean time? Please don’t let this person, or me for that matter, inform your opinion.

Must be your eyesight, my friend. Looks normal to me…

My peer was let go last year, and they received their full benefit package for a year, two weeks pay for each year of service (he had 28 years of service, so 14 months pay) and a “lump sum” of $15,000. He was in management, but everyone who was laid off got the same deal which included many individual contributors.

From what I have seen and heard there are many American companies that do this, the problem is that there is no law or other regulation that says they must. It should be this way for everyone, no matter who your employer is.

This thread is bonkers. Is it some genetic thing, or are Linux users more prone to ingrown toenails?

Why is the house also saying “Oh Yea-aaaaa!” …?

I’ve had Amazon delay refunding items I have returned for months for no reason. I have had to show them the tracking number shows delivered before customer service will issue the refund.

Looks like an AI crafted response to me.
