Hey guys- took ur advice last year and bought a dethatcher then over seeded. Looks great. Question is: what’s the timeline for application of milorganite( my fert of choice), grub killer and Pre-emergent for crab grass? And In what order? I see some people starting now but seems too early for me. Any help would be appreciated. Also- am I missing any steps? Should I vigorously spring rake or would that ruin the sprouts from last fall?

I do agree that we have almost certainly entered into a more dangerous phase of this than we were a month ago. With Ukraine on the offense militarily (an absolutely shocking development), the Russian economy in tatters ( although I would have thought we would see more cracks than we have until now)…again we talk about narrowing options. A strike on Poland or use of chemical/bio/nuke weapon to turn the tide of the war is something that is very much both on the table and a part of Russian military doctrine- escalate to deescalate. Which is why you are hearing things about the tiger- task force and very public statements about what NATO would do in response to such an escalation. Very clearly we are attempting to let the decision makers over there know that, a) we know what you’re thinking and b) we will have a response. Big meetings over the next few days…my spidey senses are tingling.

Busy morning- Russia to declare 'martial law' on Friday? That's the rumor. No more flights out of Russia between now and then so people are driving out. Couple tech guys I spoke to had some very interesting conversations w/ border guards on the way out. They had arranged for "temporary remote work" to get out- phones were checked, took them forever to cross. Also Nuclear deal w/ Iran to be signed in~72 hrs...their oil is back on the market.

There's at least 1 Army C-130 out from Windsor Locks...did a loop over Leominster and returning now. Looks to be training

Can’t have a stock market crash if you don’t open the stock market. In any case official language is out from the EU it’s all over but the crying. Happy hunting.

This seems less than ideal, via Russian State TV just now:

It’s going to be a f-ing bloodbath

Bid is 173 for RUB to USD. Was 83 on Friday. Edit:171

On cue:

Bro I’m muting you for awhile. Don’t have time for your shit. Suggest you pick a career and stick to it: either a YouTube schooled epidemiologist, or supposedly ceo of a u.s. defense contractor who repeats Russian propaganda basically word for word. Wild shit. Either way have a good one, or don’t, idgaf tbh.

Go away.

To your point yes- he’s going to lash out at the west and Ukraine… it’s not going to be pretty. Ya trust me swift is one thing and more symbolic than anything else due to the sanctions put in place last week but…. Seizing/ freezing cb assets is an act of war. No two ways about it. It cannot be overstated how big of a deal this is- provided there aren’t gigantic loopholes- Just wow

It’s actually much worse than that- ruble to zero. Putin’s options are very very limited now and not in a good way.

I’m absolutely stunned by the below. This is literal insanity. Putin is about to get very very desperate. Ruble is going to zero on Monday/ Sunday night.

While I’m posting tonight- I’ll actually add some value and not exclusively shitpost. My IT guys and girls are freaking the f out- they have been told to expect cyber attacks on U.S. assets. My advice to all of you is to keep a super sharp eye on your emails, phishing etc. if you own crypto (not that you aren’t already paranoid) but be very very skeptical. I know we have some defense related business owners here- I’m sure they are in the loop too. Having said that, please provide me your SSN and mother’s maiden name and I’ll be happy to cross reference that to known ongoing hacks. Jk jk.

Oh for sure…I was being hyperbolic. I didn’t think Putin would actually do it at the time, but here we are. Seems Ukraine is putting up some fierce resistance. Tonight will be telling.

Just re-upping this so I can get a much needed laugh and say “I told you so”. What an awful few days with little sleep. Dark day in history.

Anyone see what’s going in the N.Atlantic? Extra-tropical storm is bombing out, down 55mb in 24 hours, 77 in the last 48. Can we get that off the BM pls?

We looking at flooding in downtown Boston and other prone areas- or are the tides not going to align?

Ya no sh*t. Hence me calling out that embarrassing piece of ‘journalism’.

This was actually published in the NYT today- Embarrassing. prob sounds familiar to some of you guys tho based on the convo

Did he get vaxxed? It’s a well known side-effect

I'm going to count to three...everyone face east and blow out of their mouths as hard as they can... ok? 1-2-3. done- west trend stopped.

From a grain marketer in Saskatchewan. I don’t know how it works eligibility wise…but I think it’s still in ‘beta’ so possible coverage areas are still limited? edit: should try reading entire posts before responding
