In another thread, Nifty posted: In that case, I bid you a good day. You have my email address on file; let me know if that policy changes. I wish you and other forum members all the best.

1. To answer your titular question: I do not like avatars. 2. I do not want to upload a picture to use as an avatar. I am sufficiently aware of security to not post a photograph of myself or my homesite, and posting a random image of an animal or plant serves no useful purpose. 3. I do not want...

I would opt for the null set. I prefer to not have software or forum administration attaching titles to my name or my posts.

When I look at my profile, I see "DeniseCharleson" in a large font and "Chillin' with the herd" beneath that in a smaller font. Given that I am not part of any herd, nor do I "chill," I would like to remove that comment. I tried editing my signature and status, but that subtitle remains. How...

The sign on the building said "Distribution Center."

Several years ago, I sought out the manager of a nearby Coca Cola distribution center. They receive beverage concentrates (syrups) in 50-gallon food-grade plastic barrels. He wasn't allowed to sell them, but acknowledged that records were not kept on the number of empty barrels he returned. For...

IMO, that is a good decision. On another (unrelated) forum I help operate, the use of very long and image-laden sig blocks is burdensome, especially for those participants who access the forum via mobile devices or low-bandwidth connections. Fortunately, in that other forum, the software...

If, indeed, the ideal ratio is 1.2 - 1.5:1 Ca:P (with up to 2.5:1 Ca:P being fine), then cow's milk is not only fine but ideal. The USDA database shows that the Ca:P ratio of whole milk is just under 1.35:1 (100 gms of milk = 113mg of Ca and 84mg of P; 113/84 = 1.3452). There may be other...

What is the ideal P:Ca ratio?

I thought it was sufficiently entertaining, what with "agronomical" in the title, and "adumbration" in the body of the message.

IMO, the proper role for Wikipedia (and other such wikis) is not the easy-to-read text and descriptions but, rather, as a easy-to-follow bibliography ... and the sources cited in the wiki are the ones on which to base actions and advice. Example: If someone says "Wikipedia says that canned...

According to the all-knowing Internet, yes. http://www.fleascontrol.com/diatomaceous-earth.htm "If you've got a flea problem in your yard, then one of the best ways to safely get rid of your flea problem is with diatomaceous soil. ...however, if you have some other insect that you want to live...

I'm sensing several parallels between horse ownership and what I used to hear from physicians in coastal southern California regarding boat ownership. There, it was fairly common for successful physicians to demonstrate their success by buying a boat. I heard more than one acknowledge later that...

Yes, even with the container open, the acid produced during off-gassing while charging could increase damage to the metals in your tools. Over-charging increases the off-gassing, but it is always present to some extent from regular lead-acid batteries.

Outdoors, I leave hoverflies alone. Indoors, I've not found anything more effective than sticky fly strips. Good luck; they can certainly be irritating...

The losses for a given current in a given wire size will be the same, whether the current is AC or DC. What I think you mean is that low voltage DC can't travel far from panel to device unless the wire size is large, but AC can be stepped up to a higher voltage (resulting in lower current...

Welcome, Scott. Front range or western slope?

Welcome to the forum, Jeff. I hope you enjoy your time here.

Not a full-on "recipe," but I have been known to make a meal out of sliced zucchini + sliced Roma tomatoes (both fresh from the garden), tossed in a bowl, and drizzled with a commercial ranch salad dressing. For those with the inclination & talent to make a homemade creamy dressing, I'm sure...
