Now I know why they cut down the giant oak tree up the street -- (edited) - znufrii, promoted Mar 9, 08:20 31
- I am shocked that's legal. You have to go through major hoops here to cut down any tree on your property. -- nm - Andie Mar 9, 08:27 18
  - +20 SB Points -- nm - Strongbad Mar 9, 08:29
  - Wow. All kidding aside, here if you own your yard, you own what is in it. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 08:28 16
    - We have laws here for large or historic area trees but developers just pay the fine when they get caught. -- nm - Max Mar 9, 09:04
    - Even Florida has strict rules on (certain) trees. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 9, 08:41 1
      - Here in GA it's primarily a county and city issue. In some unincorporated rural areas you probably don't need one. But suburban or urban, definitely -- nm - Strongbad Mar 9, 08:50
    - sounds about right for Indiana -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 9, 08:40 1
      - That we have more than enough trees, here? Agreed. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 09:22
    - In PA if it's a healthy tree over 6 inches in diameter you need a permit - decline Mar 9, 08:36 1
      - Now I’m wondering if the borough has a shade tree ordinance or something along those lines. -- (edited) - znufrii, promoted Mar 9, 08:55
    - It's a very serious thing here - with renos on your house you need to put down a tree-deposit that you do not get back if you tree gets damaged - Andie Mar 9, 08:32 1
      - It's pretty common here too. Fines if they catch you without a permit. Recompense even if they give you permission. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 9, 08:35
    - At the new house they planted evergreens at the corner on the front. Right at the garage. Pretty sure I have to get approval to rip them out. - sycor Mar 9, 08:31 4
      - it looked pretty when it was a foot tall... -- nm - decline Mar 9, 08:37 1
        
        and if they won't let me relocate it, it will stay a foot tall. I will make sure of that. -- nm - sycor Mar 9, 08:42
      - People have a *frightening* lack of certain abilities, such as thinking long term. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 08:33 1
        
        So, so, so true. -- nm - sycor Mar 9, 08:34
    - and yet you live in the land of HOAs that tell people what colour they can paint their doors. :) -- nm* - Andie Mar 9, 08:30 1
      - heh, hence the "own your own yard" part! Plus, most of the HOAs are within the "Fee Take Line" which means The Army Core of Engineers oversee them. - Spawn Mar 9, 08:32
- I'm surprised there isn't a city ordinance protecting specimen trees? - Strongbad Mar 9, 08:27 1
  - There probably is -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 08:28
- Was it a live oak? If so, that's absolutely insane. -- nm - sycor Mar 9, 08:21 9
  - It was either oak or maple, I forget, but it was one of six old trees on our block. Nothing wrong with it that I could tell. - znufrii, promoted Mar 9, 08:26 1
    - starting fresh! -- nm - decline Mar 9, 08:42
  - you can grow more trees, sycor -- nm - decline Mar 9, 08:23 3
    - true. an oak tree only takes about 20 years to fully grow. Totally worth it to cut it down to put up siding. - sycor Mar 9, 08:27 2
      - By then they will have to cut it down again for new siding. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 08:27 1
        
        Sadly you are probably right. They could have just put up scaffolding and worked around the tree. -- nm - sycor Mar 9, 08:29
  - Well it's a dead oak now -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 08:22

Wicked cool astrophotography project. Guy images the crab nebula yearly and has a timelapse of its growth over the past 14 years. -- (link) - oblique Mar 9, 07:52 4

Gaga won't perform Hold My Hand at the Oscars (from skimming, it wasn't clear if she'll attend) -- (link) - prayformojo Mar 9, 07:39 2

Who's got two thumbs and may need surgery on one of those thumbs? This guy! - sycor Mar 9, 07:38 12

- I got lucky with my foot issue, steroid injections never did anything past 2-3 days - Strongbad Mar 9, 08:28
- At least you are still claiming two of them! - Spawn Mar 9, 08:18
- Damn. I hope it helps and surgery isn't necessary. -- nm* - Krusty Mar 9, 08:14
- I hope the shot works! -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 07:43
- best thoughts for the third shot then! -- nm - crash davis Mar 9, 07:40 6
  - Thanks! I'm really, really hoping I won't need surgery. Though 2-3 weeks off work sounds nice. But also 2 weeks of not being able to use my hand - sycor Mar 9, 07:44 5
    - To work out my brain, I've been trying to do somethings left handed. Chopsticks left handed are surprisingly okay, but I can't use a fork well - crash davis Mar 9, 07:47 4
      - Yeah, eating, drinking, wiping, lifting, using my phone. I'm going to have to start practicing all the things as a lefty. I'm sure with writing I'll - sycor Mar 9, 08:05

        I shoot left handed since my left eye is dominant. But otherwise I'm VERY right handed. My left is a passenger that helps with - sycor Mar 9, 08:07

Wirecutter - The Best Bed Pillows By Jackie Reeve Updated February 6, 2023 - crash davis Mar 9, 07:37 4
- Had some thought on bed pillows. Are there certain ones folks buy and keep for years? -- nm - budice Mar 9, 07:39 1
  - according to the article - I hope they're right as their picks cost more than I'd normally spend. But I'm not sleeping well -- nm - crash davis Mar 9, 07:45
- I am part of a vast left wing conspiracy for posting this NYT article as it appears Mike Lindell's product did not get tested. -- nm - crash davis Mar 9, 07:38 1
  - Also, I like the idea of varying the recommendation based on the type of sleeper you are. I'm a side sleeper who sleeps in a long line. -- nm - crash davis Mar 9, 07:39
