A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Dial Up. Yeah I know the sound and I know the time it took to load anything with. But it's something I won't ever miss having. I would much rather be on a 1MB connection if I had to choose between that or dial up ever again. I also hated how easy it was to be kicked off, if anyone called the phone, you were off it in seconds.

I tried an electric like 6 years ago. Really didn't cut it on the half acre. Hope they've gotten alot better these days.

Half acre you would definitely need a couple batteries. The longer lasting ones will get 60-70 minutes.

Alternative suggestion: cut down on the amount of grass you have. Clover (especially micro clover) does not get as tall and stays green much easier as well as being good for the soil. Creeping thyme is similar except it is even shorter.

Live in the south, almost no clover or thyme survives the summer. My yards probably half what people consider weeds, aka native plants but it requires regular mowing or Id get a ticket from the city.
