    I think I bought them for $200 new at the time, maybe $300. One of the best purchases I’ve made in general tbh. I wanted them specifically for riding airplanes to cancel that noise out but it’s done so many other things for me, I’ll be so sad when they finally die.

    No, we’re talking about grasslands and wildlife being displaced.

    I’ve used my Sony whx-1000xm3 for 7-8 years now, still work great. The plastic is breaking now but I refuse to get new ones and have ziptied them back together. When I’m playing pc, I plug them into a mic and turn them on to get the noise cancelling. When just listening to music or whatever the Bluetooth works great. Would recommend because they’re on the 7th gen now or whatever and you can probably find a good deal on the older ones.

    Das boot is one of the longest and slowest movies ever 3&1/2 hours and if you want the full version there’s a 7 hour edit. I enjoyed it, but i cant recommend it personally lol. I thought it was interesting how I felt claustrophobic by the end of it.

    A lot of environmental scientists remain unbiased regardless of politics in USA. Unless you’re looking for research on climate technologies or policy, you’ll still find plenty of non-trump influenced science from the USA. Just because he’s gutting our programs doesn’t mean the people are changing their science. (I work in the environmental field, a lot of people hate him here).

    Not sure where your from, but most states have universities with environmental/agriculturual extensions with youtube lectures and videos about local ecosystems or plant communities.

    That seems incredibly foolish to trust the brand new shiny LLM over anything else. Not saying the rest can’t be untrustworthy but wtf?

    Oh you’re right, I remember doing this same exact thing in the game. Sorry everyone for helping the robot uprising, maybe they’ll spare me

    Makes sense now why the game is so boring but always has pictures. Also I highly doubt the “voluntarily” submitting part.

    It needs time to regrow those roots, toss it some bonemeal to help.

    Good luck! Also pallets are typically treated, sometimes heat treated, sometimes chemically. But you should be able to find them free if you look hard enough.

    The nature preserve i work at uses 4x4s to support the boards, if you wanted to use pallets for the boards then treated 4x4s, youd get a pretty darn cheap board walk to help with wet areas.
    We even use 6x6s for the deeper, more notorious spots. Just make sure to measure out how far you need to cross. We generally use 6 or 8 feet boards on top of the 4x4/6x6.
