What fertilizer should I try this year?

I used Osmocote and gypsum in the beginning of April when the trees were coming out of dormancy.

I’ve used fish emulsion a few times to kick off the season.

Last year I used jacks 20-20-20 but I feared it was too strong.

What balanced fertilizer should I use to supplement the Osmocote this year?

Is this a small lipoma?

Australian Labradoodle. Male. 6 years old. Otherwise healthy.

What is this growth? It is maybe a tad larger than a kidney bean and feels like firm fatty tissue. It is oblong running the length of his front left leg immediately before his ankle. It feels attached to the skin on the inside and not the bone. I can move it around. Does not appear to be painful.

I imagine the advice is to keep an eye on it to see if it gets bigger, but without a biopsy there’s no way to tell.

Any other advice? His yearly checkup is next month.

Need a chainsaw recommendation

I’d like to stay around $200 and I see the Stihl MS171 or MS172 for $219. I have other Stihl equipment so it makes sense to stay brand loyal.

I have a large tree already fell to clean up and turn to firewood. I don’t really have any other trees to cut down. I like the smaller 16” models for safety and practicality but I am concerned if I go with a small one would I regret not going for the bigger one later down the road?

Any other models I should look at in my price point?

I have a dewalt pole saw and I hate it so I’m not interested in battery powered models.

Both Van Drew and Fetterman effectively tricked voters

They both ran as Democrats, but in practice they often voted alongside Republicans. They’re effectively moles inside the Democratic Party.

Why don’t Democrats play that sneaky game too?

MagSafe wallet with no RFID protection

I need a slim wallet that holds two cards that does NOT block RFID.

One card is my RFID employee badge and the other is my RFID transit pass. I don’t want to remove the cards every time - 20 times a day at least - I have to use them.

I’m currently using a Torras case plus the Macarooon MagSafe leather case which has been fine for 6 months or so, but now it’s starting to fray a corner and it’s only going to get worse at this point. I’m not spending another $80 on this case that doesn’t last.

I’m also not fond of wallets that don’t have a screen cover because I’m afraid the wallet will fall out when I put it on my back pocket.

TLDR: need a non RFID blocking slim flipper MagSafe wallet that doesn’t wear out in 6 months.

1987 Toyota Celica hubcap thief

If you lived on Wynnewood Dr in Voorhees in the 1990s, I owe you an apology because I stole your hubcap.

About 2 years later I crashed the car I was driving and ended up putting the hubcap back on your car where I took it from. So if you were ever confused about why your missing hubcap randomly reappeared years later… this is why.

I was young and dumb, and I thought returning it was the right thing to do. Looking back, it was a shitty thing to do because I probably caused more confusion and I should have just lived with the guilt of being a thief. Sorry.

I’m 50 and my old city track bike is hella uncomfortable. I’ve been riding it recently to commute to work. It’s a 24 hour track bike so it has a road fork but track bike geometry.

I want to covert it from “city racer” to “urban gentleman”.

I’m thinking Brooks B17 saddle and Velo Orange quill stem with 0° rise but I’m not sure which handlebars to get that won’t make it squirrelly.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: thanks for all the comments. Once I learned the Guardian CEO is MAGA aligned and lobbied to get bike imports tariffed I decided not to support a company like that. No Guardian for my kids.

I’m an admitted bike snob. My daughter asked for a bike and I’m kind of excited about the prospect of riding with her.

She likes this one. It will fit her based on height and she’s on the lower end height wise so she’ll keep growing into it the next couple years.

Question for my fellow bikers - Is it a decent brand? Any other kid bike brands I should look at?

Resurrected my fixie and started riding again after ten years hiatus. The seat is too uncomfortable and I don’t want to be hunched over anymore.

Thinking of getting a Brooks saddle and some Nitto or VO bars. I need help ordering the parts and getting the sizing right.

What bike shop would you trust to help dial this in?

First pic is my bike now and second pic is a bike I spotted locked up that’s pretty much the vibe I’m going for.

I’m looking to reduce my lunch spend on a regular basis.

I recently started cycling again so my radius is around 18th and Market a mile or two.

What are some good lunch spots I can get a good healthy meal for cheap?

The food carts are great but I’ve been eating there for a while and they’re getting old.
