We have a pretty decent one located in Mt wife’s room which is basically sealed off from the rest of the house. It runs into the shower. But despite its size it is inadequate for the whole house. I don’t have the money to buy a dedicated one for the whole house.
But this little window AC is doing a really excellent job. Set it to 80 and it keeps going and drying the air.
I live in The South.
My air conditioner broke 3 years ago. This year we got a small window unit. It’s not enough to cool the whole house. But it does provide the very important feature of dehumidifying the house. The temperature in the house and outside can both be in the high 90s. But it is so much less oppressive inside the house where the humidity has been stripped out.
Geese are legendary for their attack skills. They aren’t bad most of the year but in the spring they will mess you up if you get too close. You can go to YouTube and search for “goose attack.”
If they’re not tormenting you, they’re not doing their job. That’s their niche. They have one job.
Yes and no. They are much cleaner than ducks and they can be exclusively fed on grass once they are feathered out. This makes them unbelievably awesome in addition to their guard dog ability. In the springtime you get giant goose eggs. Which is a big perk. Since we got our first two geese we have not lost a single chicken or duck to hawks. Which is why we got them. We were losing 1 to 3 a year just to hawks.
The downside is that like all birds they poop everywhere And their poops are more undigested grass than runny stuff. And in the spring when you get those giant eggs the geese can become extremely aggressive. This means separating them from the other birds to prevent injuries and it means learning how to wrestle geese in a safe manner. And it means always being on guard. You will not be safe on your own property.
But for me the benefits far exceed risks. They pay for themselves. They give giant eggs, they stop hawks, they mow the yard, they require no feed.
18 chickens, 7 geese, 6 ducks, 11 cats, 3 fosters, two dogs.
Today I turn on one foster kitten, the rest leave next week. Not sure if they will give me more when I drop off the one today. But if they have something extra spicy I’ll probably get it.
Basically multiple types and the number is fluid. We’ve lost two chickens and two geese this year.
Ducks are the grossest birds. Anything is better than ducks. I have 6 ducks.
I worked in IT for 20 years. I became a handyman and have 7 geese.
Yes. Anything more than 2000 mg, aka two freaking grams, is likely to cause diarrhea. Because that’s the symptom of a Vit C overdose. It will cause your body to flush water and with it other water soluble vitamins. Unless you are lactating or a blood test says you need more there is no reason to consume more than 120 mg a day. And with the Standard American Diet [SAD] you will get plenty of vit c because so many things are fortified with C that not getting the RDA is very difficult.
So by taking 3 grams a day you, waste money, flush other vitamins potentially creating new issues, spend too much time on the pot.
Vit C is clinically proven to prevent scurvy. And that’s about it. Its benefits are extremely over stated by people trying to take your money. Airborne is a scam.
Having enough money to keep a tropical aquarium running is very relaxing.
I’m doing my part.
Instructions unclear. Is this a place for weirdos or a place to highlight weirdos?
Lies. Some of it smelled like leaded car exhaust.
My tag line is “I am from the internet. I’m here to help.” It comes with certain responsibilities.
I had a winmodem issue on a laptop that Acer forgot they made that dogged made for 2 years. No answer available. And then one day the answer just popped up. I had to go back and find my original posts and edit them to include the solution.
Back in the days of usenet if I had a Linux problem I would carefully research the issue while composing a post asking how to solve it. I needed to make sure I covered every possible option so that people would know just how odd the problem was and that I had taken every reasonable step to fix it. And this was how I hardly ever had to post anything because this process almost always found the answer.
I’m here to remind you of the absence of Heathcliff from Heathcliff comics. Absurdist anti-joke comics with an extra helping of both.
