What's this Plant?@mander.xyz•I've been trying to figure out what this tree is. I live in area 6 in upstate New York (more pictures in post)English
0·5 months agoIf you know a bit about leaf anatomy you could use a tree identification guide like this site:

My guess would be pear like the others say.
Very obviously just a rubber floor mat upside down.

6·7 months agoI watch pretty much all of legal eagles videos and from what they’ve been reporting it appears ice and dhs are ignoring the courts wholesale. The courts are starting to drag sitting US attorneys into court to testify because they have been ignoring court orders.
Where have you seen info of ice complying with orders because everything i’ve seen with my lying eyes says they aren’t.
The bottle opener integrated into the handle is probably why the op assumes they are kitchen shears.
Plus your link is to “kuechenscheren” which translates from the german to “kitchen scissors”.
Buy some carhartt or dickies pants. They last forever.
It’s more a problem with distribution than with production. If we could figure out how to get perishable items everywhere then we’d have less waste.
Unfortunately that would eat into people’s bottom lines and we can’t be having that. /s

Buy it for Life@slrpnk.net•How long should I expect soles to last?English
0·10 months ago3-5 years was what I would get in the army for regularly worn boots. Depends on the sole thickness and rubber type.
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. … A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. … But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes ‘Boots’ theory of socio-economic unfairness.

7·1 year agoYou can also use runny jam for syrup on pancakes. That’s what my grandmother would do with hers that “failed”. Blueberry pancakes with cranberry jam/syrup is amazing.

11·1 year agoThis applies to cheese sauces too. The recipe calls for 1 cup of cheddar. As much as I want to add 2 cups it will end up as spackle instead of cheese sauce so lets just use 1 cup.
Or making too much roux for the sauce. That’ll also cause it to come out as spackle instead of sauce.

0·1 year agoThe photo was done by Yann Le Poul who seems to be a Frenchman who photographs animals. You can see the photo credited to him by clicking on the photo and then a quick web search will bring up pages where he has won some awards for his animal photography.

2·1 year agoThat doesn’t seem safe to me since you’re basically pumping power back into the mains but no, I think most of the home battery backups systems have a switch that sits between the main and your house to control the flow of power in the event of a power outage.

2·1 year agoThey have whole house uninterruptible power supplies.

2·1 year agoUninterruptible power supply is what you want. It basically trickle charges a large battery and swaps to the battery when you lose power. They can last for a few hours depending on the size of the battery and the load on the circuit.



Tell me you’ve never swapped a modern iphone’s battery without saying it.
