      Another: what kind of plant question...

      Back in the day, DNR used to propagate Multiflora Rose and give plants out free to landowners for habitat creation. As invasives go, it's a very good food source for quite a few bird species. I read somewhere that Mockingbirds will occur year-round in some areas specifically because there are...

      Is The Left/Right Divide Bridgeable?

      I remember in the book Blackhawk Down, the author talked a lot about his interviews with Somali people who belonged to the different factions that were fighting for control. He said that all of the people would begin by saying something to the effect of "All we want is peace." but when asked...

      18 year old water softener

      Back in the day, all softeners and water heaters were "hard-plumbed" into the system, since they were expected to last 20+ years. I think it says something that now they're mostly connected with flexible "quick-connect" lines.

      18 year old water softener

      I bought a Kinetico Model 60 in 1996. It has dual resin tanks and an impeller meter so it uses no electricity and recharges based on the actual gallons used. With the dual resin tanks, you can recharge any time, because it switches to the new tank and recharges the other one, with no...

      18 year old water softener

      I’ve read that softener resin lasts much longer if you’re on well water, since chlorine breaks it down. When the resin in mine quit working, it didn’t clog, it just stopped softening. I got new resin online and changed it out myself. Works fine again.

      Two bodies found in Carroll County

      I would like to know if they found ammo with the gun, and if so, was it the same as the unfired round from the scene or not.

      Hate Speech

      When you give someone the power to silence speech that you don’t like, you’ve also given them the power to silence speech that you do like.

      A Sudden Leftward Lurch

      I agree with you on that. Perspective may be the strongest driver of political viewpoints. Something that most of us have a hard time admitting is that almost all of us would "fall into this trap" if our perspective was changed in the same way.

      Grammar Nazis Untie

      Pronouncing words like "Mountain" as "Mou-In" or "Martin" as "Mar-In" The "T" isn't supposed to be silent. I think it's mostly a Millennial thing

      I just luv gubmint

      I was involved in a discussion about animal control issues a while ago, particularly about stray dogs. There was a lot of talk about the problem and a lot of talk about possible solutions, and one person said "The thing is, if we were the kind of society/culture that had the ability to solve...

      What kind of tree is this?

      Many people confuse Choke Cherry (Prunus Virginiana) with Black Cherry (Prunus serotina), since they look very much alike when the trees are smaller. If it's on mostly open ground or a grown-up old field and has many trunks it's probably a Choke Cherry. If it's in a woods and if it has one...

      Gardening 2024

      I was wondering what fertilizer is best for small seedling tomato and pepper plants. Last year I used miracle grow in water and I think I didn't dilute it enough and/or just used too much. When they started to show signs of yellowing, I watered them heavy with water, then re-potted them. Most...

      Steel Roofs

      We lived in a rented farmhouse for a few years when my kids were little. Landlord said the house was built just after turn of the century. After a bad storm, the 70 year-old steel roof failed when the fasteners broke from the peeled pole rafters. The steel roof was still intact, it was just...
