  • How to deal with wasps in fallen fruit around pear tree?

    Jump

  • The pear tree is on our property and I don't want my neighbors to be uncomfortable due to the large amount of wasps hanging around. It's just a matter of courtesy.

  • Seriously what's that idea?

  • A block should also be able to prevent them from seeing your activity. That would not constitute silencing the blocked individual as they can still go anywhere and talk to/see anyone else on the fediverse, just not you.

  • Are they typically less aggressive at night?

  • Thanks for your feedback. I'm in Canada and as far as I know there are no laws or rules about this, but I don't want my neighbors to be harassed by wasps, nor am I happy with how many of them harass me on my deck at the moment. I'm not looking to exterminate them, rather safely pick up the fruit and chuck it into a field next to my house so that they're further away from us.

    I just don't want to risk being attacked by them if I try to move the fruit, y'know? I can't safely run or even shoo them away right now due to the pain of my injuries.

  • Can't beat them for games that require low latency input though. Just playing retro games on them is worth owning one.

  • What is your most "Fuck you, this is actually awesome?" take?

    Jump

  • Asking the real questions.

  • Do you play an instrument? What's your favorite thing about it?

    Jump

  • Guitar mainly, but I can play any of the typical instruments associated with rock/metal.

    My favourite thing about the guitar is all the expressive ways you can play a single note. There's the spectrum of how hard you pick it along with what you use to pick - fingers or plectrum, what angle you attack the string with said pick, vibrato, bend up to the note or down from it, slide into or out of it, etc...

    It's such an expressive instrument. I love it. You can really hear someone's personality come out in their playing. There truly are endless different ways to play a single song. It all just depends on the choices you make.

  • What is your favourite metal song?

    Jump

  • If you like beautiful music, you need to give Opeth a spin. 'The Drapery Falls' is my favourite song to introduce Opeth with. Stunningly beautiful and shows the full range of their craft. https://youtu.be/YeTNkPXRrVY

  • If you haven't tried Cornell's "Merlin" app, I highly recommend it.

    Bird watching is peaceful. I love it.

  • Would you retire at 30 and live frugally?

    Jump

  • 100% I'd retire. I'd sell all my shit, buy a sailboat and cruise around the world for the rest of my life.

  • Does anyone have suggestions for buying a webcam?

    Jump

  • You're welcome. :) Good luck with the search.

    Jump

  • If you have an Android and don't mind having your phone on a tripod while you're doing what you wanna do, DroidCam is a good option. It integrates with OBS easily and the paid tier isn't super expensive and is a one time cost.

    Alternatively, you can also get a cheap GoPro knock off that supports being a webcam. I have an Apeman action cam that works reasonably well for this purpose and was less than $100 CAD.

    For purpose-built webcams, I'm really not sure.

  • I love when people throw around the idea of Canadian provinces just being up for grabs, as if we want anything to do with what's going on south of the border.

  • I love the hive mind coming out of the wood work to downvote comments just because someone else has. I've noticed that often here. It was especially bad on Reddit. They see a zero or a negative one and have to put their unreasoned stamp on it too.

    I bought the game a couple months ago and have put maybe 6 hrs into it so far so yeah, having someone spoil a part of the plot just because the game has been out for a while is fucking shitty.

  • Go to a family member's house and try to show them something on YT.

    Cringe in horror at the experience.
