Comrade Blyatlov posted:Are you dead reckoning No. I just think we should take a deadly pandemic seriously and examine the actual data instead of relying on anodyne statements designed to keep us working and consuming issued by a government that serves corporations and billionaires instead of people. I thought he was (is? I haven't seen him post in forever) kind of an rear end in a top hat frankly. I'm sure people who don't want to think about covid feel the same way about me, but that doesn't change the reality of the pandemic. e: Looks like I'm misreading the room. I'll drop it. Clearly not going to change anyone's mind. Loucks fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Dec 20, 2021 |

Nice parting shot, but you're wrong: Comrade Blyatlov posted:Well if you read it then that's what it says, but maybe it's opposite day and words mean different things, if that's the case then don't continue In fact I was explicitly saying that you weren't doing that. Why is it that when I take a similar tone in this subforum I get hassled, but apparently it's cool for you to be a sarcastic rear end?

I've mentioned a couple of times that the post in question was a joke because some people are confused by that. I'm not defending anyone, just trying to help people understand what's happening. I definitely don't post in every covid thread, which is pretty easy to verify. I'm perfectly happy to drop this. I thought it was helpful to clarify what was going on in that thread with that poster but if people just want to believe that the cspam thread is dumb and so goddamn crazy that's fine too.

Loucks posted:Nice parting shot, but you're wrong: It was not a parting shot. You got called out by at least 3 different posters. Maybe you worded it wrong, but you need to stop pretending it just bad faith argument. If you didn't mean the way you wrote it, just say that instead of attacking posters pretending they are all out to get you.

You're simultaneously arguing that the CDC shouldn't have made the recommendation to take steps to stop fomite transmission because "that the authorities insisted that everyone should wash their hands specifically to prevent covid infection despite no evidence that it was a meaningful vector" while at the same time saying we need to "examine the actual data". Which is a god-awful approach to emergency response in general and a new viral pandemic in particular. What i'm saying is complaining about CDC recommendations for hand washing is dumb as hell and you're dumb as hell for defending that bad take. Pushing back against your bad advice is not the same as not taking this pandemic seriously. Get off your cross we need the wood.

So… what if someone coughs in the air and the particles land on my hands and then I pick my nose? Will this be likely or unlikely? Asking for my filthy no-hand washing, nose-picking kids.

quote:Although today its use is far more restricted, in the past the size and strength of kauri timber made it a popular wood for construction and ship building, particularly for masts of sailing ships because of its parallel grain and the absence of branches for much of its height. Kauri crown and stump wood was much appreciated for its beauty, and was sought after for ornamental wood panelling as well as high-end furniture. Although not as highly prized, the light colour of kauri trunk wood made it also well-suited for more utilitarian furniture construction, as well as for use in the fabrication of cisterns, barrels, bridge construction material, fences, moulds for metal forges, large rollers for the textile industry, railway sleepers and cross bracingfor mines and tunnels.

Can I plant that Hobbitland tree in PA, and will it kill Chinese Sumac/Tree of Heaven and/or Bamboo? Because gently caress both of those things. It's fun to pretend I'm a D&D Barbarian, but both are giant pains in my rear end that don't die. I found some forum when I was looking at bamboo control. Paraphrased- 'there is a stand of bamboo at my new house. What can I do to keep it controlled?' 'Congrats. It's the bamboo's hone now. Chop it down seasonally, and wait for the next wave of bullshit.'

the only way i've ever gotten bamboo under control was to hack it all down, dig it out with a pickaxe and shovel, then put an old paddling pool beneath the surface of the soil.

One does not control bamboo. You either suffer it to live or you have to destroy it.

gently caress Tree of Heaven, not only invasive but smells like rear end to boot. Curious how kauri stacks up to black locust in terms of hardness, its amazingly dense and great firewood but an absolute pain to split.

The wife wants a bamboo fence if we ever get a house. Years I've been trying to tell her it won't stay a fence and it won't ever go away we had a patch of that stuff in the neighborhood growing up and it didn't stay a patch. As much of a gigantic pain in the dick as that stuff is if we ever get a place I'll deal with the periodic mini-arguments. Will suck a whole lot less.

The third most common reason I rent out stump grinders is to get rid of bamboo balls. And maybe 1 out of every 8 times I do, they have to come back and swap for an excavator because the root ball is too big. You either regret planting it as you do a poo poo ton of work to get rid of it, or you sell the house and move. That's how bamboo planting goes.

I’ve got a 2070 super through a friend. Then I sold my 1060 6gb for $300 on eBay, more than I bought it for in 2016. It’s stupid.
