I don’t know if this will work on brambles, but for pesky root systems I’ve had luck with Bonide’s Stump and Vine killer. You cut near the base of one of them, then paint the exposed stem with this stuff. It absorbs into the root system and kills all of it. Works great on pokeweed.

Edit: Turns out this is just a specific brand of triclopyr herbicide like MoonMelon mentioned. So here’s another recommendation for triclopyr!

Other than the “not” part, yeah. “Mala” is bad, wrong, evil, wicked, ill, naughty, etc.

(Checked this to confirm before I posted, since it’s been several years since I’ve known Spanish well enough to speak it.)

From Dungeon Crawler Carl:

I grumbled a bit about that three in intelligence. Yeah, I never did too great in math, but I never considered myself a slobbering idiot, either. I could fix most anything electrical after studying it for a bit. My friend Billy Maloney, now that guy was an idiot. Just last week we’d come out of a bar, and he’d peed right on a cop’s bicycle while the cop was giving someone else a ticket for drunk and disorderly. That guy deserved an intelligence of three, maybe two.

. . .

After I complained about my intelligence score to Mordecai, using the Billy example, he said, “Intelligence told you that bike belonged to a police officer. Wisdom told you not to urinate upon it.

🤣

Uh… didn’t this happen like 7 years ago when they stopped using intel chips?

I think they were still releasing updates for the non-Apple Silicon Macs, which meant Hackintosh was still possible.

Also why not just buy a pc to do this diy-adjacent bullshit? Not like you can’t get Mac equivalent (or better) hardware for literally the same price these days. It’s not 2004.

That’s what a Hackintosh is though. It’s running Mac on non-Apple hardware.

Contrarians?

they reportedly still sometimes show ads to premium subscribers

I’ve been on YouTube Premium since it was YouTube Red, and I’ve never seen an ad when I’m logged in.

I justify it because YouTube Music is included, so I can get music streaming without paying for a similar service from Spotify or Apple or Amazon or whomever, and also get ad-free YouTube on all my devices and whatnot.

My grade school bully is serving life in prison for attempted double homicide. IIRC he’s also a sex offender.

Obviously the decisions he made as an adult are his responsibility, but honestly I feel bad for him. He didn’t have much of a chance. His home life was terrible, and he took it out on those around him. He had no positive role models in his daily life besides those at his school, who were always punishing him because he couldn’t conform to a world utterly foreign to his own where people weren’t constantly shitty to one another, and the school didn’t have any better idea how to handle him. The kid had no support. His father was in and out of jail/prison, his mother was overwhelmed. He fell through the cracks.

It’s no surprise he turned out a piece of shit.

That doesn’t excuse his actions. Plenty of people come from difficult origins and are good people leading decent lives.

But I do pity him.

Some of that has disappeared with RCS support, fortunately.

But yes, Apple successfully positioned their texting app as a rich formatted chat app when used between iPhone users, behaving more like WhatsApp or KakaoTalk or other chat apps than like traditional texting. But when messaging people without iPhones, it was just standard texting (worse, since they would degrade the quality of MMS images more than necessary, as I understand). To the uninformed, this seemed like everyone else were the ones lagging behind. “How could your phone be any good? Images you send are terrible. I can’t name chats that have you in it. If I react to your messages it spams the group chat.” Etc.

Brilliant, but absolutely evil, move by Apple. Unfortunately it worked. The only reason I use an iPhone today is that years ago I got tired of being left out of conversations and media sharing by my family and my wife’s family, who all use iPhones. So when my OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Edition died an early, watery death (rest in peace, king among phones) and nothing else really wowed me in the Android space at the time, I bit the bullet and went to the dark side. I enjoy the iPhone, but I’m still bitter about why I got it.

Oh yeah, I’m big on the wireless chargers. Especially with the magnetic alignment in qi2 charging.

Try cleaning out the USB-C port. Lint gets compacted in there and it can prevent the plug from seating correctly. Most charging problems I’ve had were resolved by scraping the lint out of the port, with a plastic floss pick thing or an unbent staple. Careful not to damage the contacts though.

You can make it do a bunch of stuff if you get creative with shortcuts.

My action button silences the media volume (and the phone just in case) and then vibrates the phone to tell me it has done this IF the phone is in a face-down orientation. Otherwise it toggles the flashlight on or off.

I’ve seen people with dozens of actions tied to the button depending on focus mode, orientation, time of day, location, all sorts of stuff.

100% agree.

Oh dude, give it a chance.

30 Rock has the highest jokes-per-minute of any TV series, according to this extremely unscientific and rigor-less measurement.

Tina Fey is brilliant and everything she touches is worth sampling.

Evil is my favorite row here. Scrubs shares my #1 spot with 30 Rock, but only because of how much heart it has. The only show that matches the evil row for number of laughs for me is Community.

If you like any of these shows, I strongly recommend the rest. They all scratch that same itch for me, extremely well-written, clever comedies (that is to say, the jokes are often clever, the characters are often not).

As I understand it there have been a few towns over the years that have tried to ban them for pearl-clutchy reasons. “Oh think of the children!” or “how indecent!” type of thing.

Apparently they’re illegal in the entire state of Idaho.

And anything as harmless and silly as truck nuts that makes old uptight people lose their shit is something worth fighting for.

I’ve had good luck with Anker, generally speaking. One of their MagSafe docks is a bit weak, such that I couldn’t charge through certain cases with a Snap 4 on it, but good with others. But other than that I’ve never had an issue with their products.

Most EVs have transmissions, they’re just usually single-speed. They have to adjust the RPM of the electric motor to a speed usable by the wheels.

Some have two-speed gearboxes, like the Porsche Taycan. This is needed because EV motors produce full torque at 0RPM and it stays there as the power increases, but eventually you reach a point where the power plateaus and the torque falls off. If you want more power at high speeds, you have to use a second gear.

Man, say what you will about truck culture, and I’ll probably agree, but I fuckin’ love truck nuts. I don’t know why, I don’t think it’s just immaturity because bodily humor isn’t usually my thing. But something about truck nuts makes me laugh.

I especially love that they trigger people enough that some places ban them.
