He Asked His Upstairs Neighbor to Stop Drenching His Patio—Now He's the Villain

Arguments with neighbors are nothing new, especially when living in close quarters like an apartment complex or housing development. One Redditor wrote about his current dispute with an upstairs neighbor, saying that the neighbor recently purchased 15 to 20 plants that need water daily. "He simply waters them on his level and then hoses off his deck, and all of the runoff water and soil goes to whatever is currently on the level below," the post read. The Redditor explained that his patio furniture and clothes drying line are drenched in the process. When he approached his upstairs neighbor about the issue the first time, it did not go well. "I was like, 'Hey I don't know if you were aware, but this happened, and now all my wetsuits and furniture are covered in soil, and I have to clean it.' And he just laughed and asked me why I had stuff hanging outside." The Redditor continued, adding that his upstairs neighbor recently soaked some expensive tools that were on his patio. The neighbor's response: "I have to water my plants every day. I don't know what you want me to do." The neighbor even blamed the situation on the original poster for having stuff on his own patio. The Redditor posed the situation to the online community, asking if he was wrong for saying something to his neighbor. His fellow Redditors were on his side and criticized the upstairs neighbor for making a mess. One commenter said: "Watering the plants can be done without getting everything wet. Believe me, I have my share of plants (20+) in the house. How does he think people who have plants in their home water the plants? We just don't spray them with a hose. We water them by putting water directly into the pot. I have completely sprayed their leaves and such to give them a full bath and clean them, but I do that in the shower or outside on the lawn where it doesn't overspray everything." Another poster suggested installing a tarp or other waterproof covering to create a makeshift awning to protect the area. They added that the poster should give his neighbor "a bunch of those plates that get put under plant pots to catch overflow and a small watering can, so he can't overwater the poor plants." Others heeded the poster to talk to his landlord immediately. Read the original article on Martha Stewart

Photos of the giant rats leading land mine detection efforts in Cambodia

SIEM REAP, Cambodia (AP) — Rats may send some squealing, but in Cambodia, teams of the not-so-little critters have become indispensable in helping specialists detect land mines that have killed and maimed thousands in the Southeast Asian country. The African giant pouched rats, which can grow up to 45 centimeters (around 18 inches) and weigh up to 1.5 kilograms (more than 3 pounds), are on the front line, making their way nimbly across fields to signal to their handlers when they get a whiff of TNT, used in most land mines and explosive ordnance . 'While working with these rats, I have always found mines and they have never skipped a single one,' said Mott Sreymom, a rat handler at APOPO, a humanitarian demining group that trains and deploys rodent detection teams across the world. 'I really trust these mine detection rats,' Mott told The Associated Press while on her lunch break after working on a land mine field in the province of Siem Reap. After three decades of conflict in the previous century, remnants of war littered approximately 4,500 square kilometers (about 1,737 square miles) of Cambodian land, according to a survey by the Cambodian Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority (CMAA) in 2004. This affected all 25 Cambodian provinces and nearly half of the country's 14,000 villages. As of 2018, CMAA reported 1,970 square kilometers (760 square miles) remain uncleared. The rats have a keen sense of smell, making them a favorite at APOPO, which also employs land mine-detecting dog teams. 'Dogs and rats are better compared to other animals because they are trainable,' said Alberto Zacarias, a field supervisor of APOPO's technical survey dog teams, adding that they are also friendly and easily learn commands. Since demining officially began in Cambodia in 1992, more than 1.1 million mines have been cleared, as well as approximately 2.9 million other explosive remnants of war, according to a 2022 government demining progress report. And the African giant pouched rats are doing their part. 'We work with them almost daily, so we get closer,' Mott said. 'They are very friendly and they don't move around and get scared. They are like family.' Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha. Please try again. You may unsubscribe at any time.
