r/landscaping•

Has anyone got experience with drivable grass, or similar solutions for driveways? I have need for more parking area and id like to avoid additional paved areas. We also have pretty terrible drainage in the neighborhood, so I want to be careful about that as well.

Edit: I’m in central FL if that makes a difference.

r/solar•

Are there any options out there which are geared towards allowing the use of solar when the grid is down, rather than a major amount of storage? I don't necessarily want to be able to run my entire home, but if I could switch over to be able to run my fridge, some lights, and possibly keep my house below 85 degrees, that would be huge.

r/zsh•

I’ve been having some difficulties with VI mode exiting insert mode, seemingly at random, after the prompt returns. Worse, it takes about half a second for it to happen, so my inputs are often dropped. I’m sure there’s some logic to it, but I haven’t been able to isolate what causes the behavior.

Can anyone help me understand what might cause ZSH to switch to Normal mode without the escape key being pressed? Is there a non-hack-ish way to make the mode for the next prompt more consistent?

Edit: I use the Starship prompt.

r/Leathercraft•

I've had a Bellroy Card Sleeve for about 7 years, now, and I love it. Unfortunately, I recently lost it on a flight. I was about to buy a replacement, when I realized that there might be people on the sub who make something similar, and I'd love to buy from an independent leather worker.

Where do y'all list your items for sale, so I can search through and find one?

Thanks!

r/polygonnetwork•

I've been interested in using the Polygon network for DeFi for a while, now, but I don't feel as though I understand what, if any, risks are involved in bridging my tokens over from Ethereum to Polygon. Chiefly, I'd like to understand how bridging tokens back to the Ethereum network works. I.e.: how is it possible to add tokens to my Ethereum wallet from a chain that is not directly validated by Ethereum? I'm guessing smart contracts are what make it possible, but if anyone could explain further, I'd be grateful.

Thanks!

r/homeassistant•

I updated HA to the latest release, recently, and now the Cloud service (Nabu Casa) isn't launching. I'm seeing the following error in the logs:

Logger: homeassistant.setup
Source: setup.py:244
First occurred: April 16, 2021, 7:16:33 PM (1 occurrences)
Last logged: April 16, 2021, 7:16:33 PM

Setup of cloud is taking longer than 300 seconds. Startup will proceed without waiting any longer

Unfortunately, that doesn't provide me with a whole lot of details as to what's really going on. Is there anyone out there with a thought on the best way to troubleshoot?

Edit: Nabu Casa support helped me fix the problem. First they had me delete the .cloud folder under my config folder. Tha

r/optometry•

Hello,

I've taken up shooting as a hobby about 6 months ago and I've had some difficulties with my left eye being dominant as a right-handed person. I'm looking to get into competitive matches at some point and I'm quite certain this will put me at a disadvantage.

I went in for an eye exam recently and asked my new optometrist about this. They brushed it off saying that I'm not shooting most of the time so I shouldn't worry about it. Is this a reasonable answer? Is it difficult enough to affect a change in eye dominance that I should just give up?

P.S.

Per some advise I've read around the internet, I've been wearing an "off-eye" sticker (https://www.amazon.com/Birchwood-43461-Off-Eye-Op

r/firefox•

I've got two devices on my local LAN that I routinely access (er... accessed) via their `.local` mDNS names. Somewhat recently, I began receiving the "Hmm. We're having trouble finding that site" error when attempting to reach them. This appears to be Firefox failing, as both Chrome and pings via the CLI are successful.

For what it's worth, I do _not_ see these entries in the DNS tab of the `about:networking` page.

I'm not sure what the point of this question is. Maybe I just want to know if I'm going crazy? God... I'm just so tired. All of this news about our rights potentially being stripped. Suggestions of mail-in ballot fraud. Concerns about a fight for power depending upon the outcome of the election... I was up until 5:30am the other night; a large part of it spent watching videos from the debates and other election news.

Part of me wants to just completely unplug from the news. Another part of me is frightened that I'll miss something that's actually really important. The only real coherent thought I can put together is: %#*& this whole political process. This is not what the founding fath

r/Beretta•

I've got a reasonably new M9A3. I put about 200 rounds through it with no issues. Recently, I got a box of 500 rounds of Federal 150gr syntech ammo. It wasn't necessarily what I was looking for, but with prices/availability what they are, I was reasonably happy to get it.

At the range, yesterday, I noticed two distinct issues:

  1. The slide did not lock back on an empty magazine.
  2. I had one failure to feed (similar to this: [https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2015%2F02%2F616.jpg&f=1&nofb=1](https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2015%2
