  It is better than turf, but I’m not talking about grass lawns, I’m talking about plants like for a garden. It’s better to have more garden plant masses, less grass lawn.

  Most people don’t need as much lawn as they have and reducing down to more what you actually use is great, but it’s totally situational.

  If you wanted a NorthEast suggestion for general ground cover I’d say wild strawberry. But if it’s like … Lawn then just stick with what you’re doing.

  Native plant patches can also absorb some of the harmful crap like pesticides to a degree. It does help.

  Honeybees cant buzz pollinate for shit, lazy ass bee

  Unfortunately, naturalized plants are not good. It’s a scale, with invasive plants being extremely bad. Naturalized plants aren’t as bad. But still bad

  In the end, our native insects rely on native plants (with extremely few exceptions to not be distracted by). A native plant can support hundreds or even thousands of species.

  A non native / naturalized plants cannot support even a fraction of that. They can also support… Non native insects. Which in turn fuck up the ecosystem, either by displacement or direct damage.

  I’m not gonna tell you to rip out naturalized plants like clover. I’m not gonna say you should destroy your garden. You should just know that native plants are superior in literally every possible way, and your NEXT plant choices should be as native as you can get :)

  Plant native. Plants that are native to your ecosystem. Those are the true pollinator powerhouse plants that bees need to survive

  Totk is… more of an expansion/dlc than a sequel. Even the intro has near identical beats. The map is literally re used.

  Fun game still.

  I love love love perfect dark. But it’s uhhh it does not hold up. The campaign starts fairly strong and craters pretty quick. It really feels like they just weren’t able to really… Finish the game when it came out.

  Also, like GoldenEye, a huge component of Perfect Dark was multiplayer.

  Old XCOM also likes to bend you over and fuck you over a lot. And that’s the way we liked it!

  Been eyeing this. I have older unifi internet equipment, and with a recent wifi radio purchase, I realize one seems to need their cloud key or gateway products now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨in what order do you guys recommend watching the whole Ghost in the Shell narrative after the original movie(no spoilers please)?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Man that 2000s anime issues weird. I overall think the mostly dry political angle they take fits with the gits universe

  All of the sudden the corpo management olds are excited about tik Tok. How could such a colossal shift in attitudes occur you ask? Why because Tik Tok now integrates with SharePoint!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's 2025 now, what are the games you'll be starting the year with?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Doom is wonderful. Eternal isnt more doom 2016 though, which is fine it’s a sequel. It’s the more intensive parts of doom that are amped up and forced upon you.

  In 2016 I rocked the pistol and machinegun and barely used any other weapon and I was happg

  In eternal, you either use every ability constantly and swap guns constantly or you die. It’s a big loop and not cycling every ability and gun makes you lose ammo or health or whatever. It’s a very jarring adjustment

  Thoughts on the sequel they announced?

  Ooc do you play pysolfc on mobile?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the game you play when nothing else sounds good?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The atmosphere in that game is very unique and extremely well done. No shade to SC2, it just didn’t require capture the feel, the music, the dread the way SC1 does

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ailanthus⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a smother option but it takes 5ish years of leaving smothered.

  There’s the roundup spray option, which is probably the most effective currently? It’s critical you spray at the right time (after it flowers)

  I saw one option of repeatedly cutting it to eventually starve the plant of energy. I suspect there’s some specifics there about when it’s ok to cut though.
