  • Hi neighbor! Believe it or not, I walk by your house all the time and always tell my wife I love it :)

    As for what you can do, I know you said you’re southern exposure with a lot of sun, but I can tell you that I would consider your home and even that front mostly shaded.

    Now is a good time to mulch with some good compost. We’ve been seeing good results with just getting some black kow from Home Depot.

    Additionally, I was just there yesterday, but The Farm in Green Village (by Morristown) is open and they’ll soon have plants in their shade section. Very helpful people there too. Definitely worth the trip.

    Also, we have a ton of deer, and your arborvitae look like tell-tale signs of deer nibbling. They can’t reach the top so just eat out the middle. I got a motion detected sprinkler to scare them off a few years ago and that seems to help.

    Small world, especially on Lemmy!


  • I’m not the person you want to answer this but nobody has replied yet and I find this interesting.

    In my one year of cycling and devouring all information on YouTube, to me it seems the 32 is the more practical comfortable and possibly faster set. I say faster because of this Video.

    It seems influencers in the cycling world are all about going wider on tires at the moment, with 32 being the gold standard. Since you have both sets, I would personally be inclined to set them up with a tube (perhaps cheap tpu tubes off aliexpress) and see which ones I prefer! Also, I would take a look at your average riding pace and see if you would benefit from aero.

    Again, I am just some new amateur on the internet, but I hope this helps!








  • I have tried many, many times in the past, and intend to try again in my next build this next summer. However, Linux just did not work for me.

    Biggest issue for me is quite literally any use of terminal is too much use of terminal. If I have to open up terminal at all, windows immediately becomes the preferred OS. I don’t care how easy it is to copy / paste some lines of text that someone else wrote (I have no idea what those commands I’m pasting in do), I just do not ever want to open a terminal.

    I have a steam deck too, and I somewhat enjoyed using it as a desktop with a dock. It seems to run fine! However, I have some issues with apps not updating and whatnot.

    Also, there’s just the issue of learning a whole new os. I did it 5 years ago when I got a new job and it came with a MacBook, and now I honestly love Mac OS. Way better than windows imo, which is promising for me to like a Linux distribution as learning wasn’t so hard!
