A few options. Cover the entire lawn for an extended period of time with a bunch of tarps or cardboard so no sunlight reaches the grass. Kill the entire thing. Start over with native seeds. Or roto till the entire thing

For me personally Bermuda grass never stood a chance against all the clover, dandelions, cheeseweed, purslane, tall flatsedge, and broadleaf plantain that make up a lot of what used to be the lawn. Some of those are invasive technically but at least rabbits come to eat the dandelions and plantains

It’s good when you do it right but pretty much everyone does it wrong

Are the tankies in the room with us right now sweetie?

IPAs are literally so fucking gross. Give a me a blonde lager any day

The official reddit mobile app has always been garbage. I only still used it because the third party app I was using was great, great UI, easy to see the content I wanted and not see anything else. Now that the official app is the only option I barely even bother anymore except for going on to check on specific communities once in a while. Casual browsing on the reddit app is just not a good time

A little of both. I do research online and find like old maps and directions from forum posts and stuff like that to find specific spots that are already known to others. Once you go out to a few spots and know what the desirable stuff looks like you’ll start to notice it when you see it even when you’re not in an area specifically known for having the material. I collect a lot of agate nodules that grew in amygdaloidal basalt and they have a very distinct look on the outside. So once I went to a few places that have tons of them all over now I notice them when I’m walking around in the hills and stuff. Luckily for me I live near the greater Los Angeles area which has lots of relatively accessible areas where you could spend all day digging up bloodstones and geodes and selenite and howlite and opal and even fossils

Yeah I like dig up rocks and cut and polish them. Mostly agate and jasper

Are the tankies in the room with us right now, shitlib?

The fucking ridiculous natural beauty everywhere? I live in the most soulless of the soulless suburbs of Los Angeles and if I left my house right now and didn’t stop for anything I could be standing beneath the biggest tree in the world in just 4 hours. Or if I want to see the oldest trees in the world I can go roughly the same distance and do that instead. I could be at the trailhead to climb the highest peak in the contiguous US in 3 hours and on my way there I would see an ancient basalt waterfall where obsidian litters the ground, the Grand Canyon of the Mojave where semiprecious gems flow out of the mountains, lakes, rivers, the Sierra Nevadas, Death Valley, it’s ridiculous. Every fucking state has traffic and suburbs but I’ll go to my grave arguing that we can’t be beat for scenery.
