how to keep wind from wrecking insect netting? in c/[email protected]

Thanks, that's what I was thinking I'd need to do. That or use jute to tie it at the base.

how to keep wind from wrecking insect netting? (lemmy.world)
 

So last year I had tried using row covers to save some of my kale, spinach, broccoli, and cauliflower from bugs. I cut conduit tubing and hammered it securely to the ground and slid pvc over it making hoops. I draped the meeting over and secured it with clips as well as bricks.

Well, the wind just wrecked it all, leading to decimated and futile attempts to secure my row covers.

It seems like bunnies and the bugs leave my tomatoes alone, so this year I'm going to clip garden fencing and cage the kale, spinach, and broccoli to encircle square foot sections and then drape netting over reach individual cage. This way the netting has less free material to be caught by the wind. The only thing I haven't figured out is how to tie the netting to keep it snug around each cage. I could do the mesh drawstring bags as an alternative, but that would cost more than a fool of netting from what I've seen.

Unexpected useful strategems? (lemmy.world)
 

Hey I was wondering which stratagem you tried out on a whim but ended up really liking? I've been switching it up especially since I read that EAT spam can mess up missions, as that was one of my go-tos.

For me it has to be the gatling barrage. It peppers a concentrated area and can hurt all enemies from what I've seen. I love using it for Breach suppression and yesterday I didn't see anyone shoot any rockets, so I swear it knocked down a dropshop on an elimination mission.

Its use case is definitely limited, but when that case is present those repeated explosions feel nice to see.

Someone said that if you use the HMG as if it were a marksman rifle you'll do better with it.

A lot of those confederate statues got built in the 1950s and 1960s during the Civil rights movement.

Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid? in c/[email protected]

I mean if it is a bell curve, even an average person is smarter than half the world. There's a selection bias on social media because those heated and ignorant threads get memed and shared either by people who believe the nonsense or by outrage.

It does. Biden is able to get away with being toothless and doing things like continuing to build the border wall. It feels like his only redemption is he's not Trump. I will vote my mind during the primaries but if it's Biden, I'm gonna hate that I have to vote for him simply because the alternative is worse.

The fact that they got the twerk animation to be so realistic gives me confidence that they're raising the bar and putting in the work on this game. Also every rule 34 modder is gonna take full advantage of this

YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective" in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 56 points 1 year ago

That's the thing. Chiropractic could be considered a manual treatment which is a therapeutic modality. PTs do manual therapies that are less traumatic and are one component of the musculoskeletal issues that contribute to pain that chiro claims to heal. For most situations of acute back pain they resolve in 4 to 6 weeks so even the ineffective treatments appear to help- it's just like treatments for the common cold.

Vanguard and Blackrock. Their retirement fund allow them to have a significant share of major companies when compared to individuals

Fuck. Im surprised how much ADHD affects me and how I've made it this far in life without treating it. It's like the only time I'm on point is when there's a swinging blade over my head

It is taught and Civil Rights is taught, but we didn't really learn about ongoing injustices against the black community (redlining and imminent domain, racial biases in the war on drugs, sund9wn towns, etc.) so US history classes painted a picture of it all being largely over with.

Dicey Dungeons! (lemmy.world)
 

I had loved this game when I had gamepass and when I saw it was available on Android with bonus episodes. The turn based game has a lot of replayability with characters that play differently and different episodes which remix the rules and abilities. The soundtrack is my favorite part because it's the right blend of chiptunes and killer sax riffs.

It's currently 5 bucks. I got it for free between google rewards and play store points from subscriptions, but I'd have paid for it because of my enjoyment on gamepass.

Between work, the heat, and dealing with clay soil this took way too long to complete! I love how it turned out. The next step is using a hoe to slope the soil over the gravel, tamp it down, and plant some sedum ternatum for groundcover.
