You'd get a random call from your friend like, "Who was that actress in that ghost movie?"

"...Whoopi Goldberg?"

"THATS IT, THANKS!"

I don't know if you're opposed to herbicide, but triclopyr will kill it. You can get triclopyr salt (water based) and apply it to the freshly cut stump surface (within moments of cutting), or triclopyr ester (oil based) and apply it to the outside of the plant close to the base, no cutting required. Both of these will kill the root. Otherwise just keep cutting and eventually you will exhaust the root.

Not sure about elsewhere, but in the USA you can typically buy the water-based triclopyr salt in a small bottle with a brush attached to the cap. This is in pretty much any garden store. Even though you have to cut the plant first I think this is the best form for just a few plants.

I prefer the 300 gallon IBC tote. Then I can unload it from my pickup truck with the pallet forks on my skid-steer and put it straight into the mayo door on the side of my house.

Hell yeah, save by buying a 4-pack.

Jeremy Brett is my favorite Sherlock. It's like David Suchet and Poirot, he just nails it.

I liked his little telescopic pointer.

I don't know if it's still a thing in the digital age, but having even just a few seconds of dead air back in the analogue broadcast days could mean that "silence detectors" all over the country would start going off and radio engineers everywhere would think there was some kind of problem with their station. So there had to be talking, music, something at pretty much all times.

If you wanted intentional silence you could play comfort noise in the background.

Alaska's DUI law specifically mentions a motorized vehicle. So you probably couldn't get a DUI on a horse, in a carriage, or with a dog sled, but if they were pulling your car with dogs then you might. The law doesn't specify the motor be on, or functional, just that it be a "motor vehicle".

I guess it would come down to the jury on that one.

A "carriage house", in the backyard of some rich couple who were the landlords. I split it with a buddy. Open holes to the outside that we patched with duct tape. The entire thing listed to one side. It smelled like mold. Zero insulation or climate control of any kind. Landlord still stole food from our fridge when we were away.

There's a ton of these where I live. Probably the most common tick, actually. They are extremely aggressive, especially in the fall. The larva is so small you can't even tell they're not a fleck of dirt until they move. So many of them can get on you at once I describe it as a "plume" of ticks.

Trimming trails doesn't seem to prevent them from crawling across open ground climb on. I wouldn't know it if I was allergic to mammal meat, but I've heard people having reactions to gelatin pill capsules and other sneaky things.

It sucks, but the alternative is I don't experience the outdoors, so it's just something to deal with and plan for. All my clothing is treated with permethrin. I'm basically in "tick mode" any time I'm walking around except in the dead of winter.

For the times it is down, the Freetube UI offers an easy way to "open in " or "open embedded player", both of which are much better than dealing with the default youtube UI.

Used it a ton in the art departments of vfx and game dev. Im talking about the tools that make assets, not the game engine or a runtime scripting language. More like the stuff launching and running in Maya, or Houdini, or Substance, etc.

Most of this is already highly OO, and there's a lot of interaction with C++. Python is the perfect language for this. There's a lot of rapid interation and gluing many different services and data together. Also you're waiting on file IO or some massive scene graph update all the time so having the tools be slightly slower doesn't matter. Also, at least in vfx, there's mixed Linux/Windows/Mac and it's great for that. ALSO art teams (unlike the programming team) have people who may not be super technical, and Python let's them write tools and scripts more easily. They don't even have to understand OO but you can say "copy this class template and implement these two methods" and they can write tools that "work" in the pipeline.

It's honestly a godsend. Before the industry settled on Python, every program had its own proprietary scripting language and some were quite limited. Their C++ APIs are all different, of course. So now everyone just ships with a Python interpreter, you manage launching each app so you can control PYTHONPATH and you're golden.
