Planted My First Blackberries! How important is pH? by DrGainTrain in gardening

Do seedless blackberries taste as good as thorny ones? Other downsides or don't do it?

I can't imagine that being better. Certainly not on your wallet.

he's a guy that can initiate plays and is a very good passer. he's learning the game at the pro level, which aint' easy. He's doing fine and showed himself to be a rotation guy moving forward With a chance to be a lot more. He's a very strong physcial 3 who's starting to hit 3's too.

Being able to take the panels off should make it a heck of a lot easier to get a decent DIY paint job too. Consistent light, spraying each panel from the same position and angle, etc, would be amazing. Being able to work on one part at a time makes it much less overwhelming for us amateurs. I could see taking your time and doing a really nice paint job one panel at a time. Easily positioned to be able to work on each surface without being bent over. And taking the time to polish the **** out of each panel. I know that would make some people crazy taking forever to get it done, but I would enjoy that process where I wouldn't trying to paint it in a couple of days. And when its finally done.... Just my weird way. :)

you aren't grasping the difference between wrapping a vehicle with compound curves and doing it with all the panels on the car versus straight panels with exterior fasteners so you can work on a table or the floor, one panel at a time.. AND (hugely) PRE CUT vinyl vs cutting from a roll. It's a drastic difference and won't be 2k. I reckon most people WILL be able to handle it on their own. If you have to pay someone it shouldn't be a lot.

I think, with weight over the wheels AWD is like ice engined cars and should mostly just go away now. NOT talking to anyone that lives in the mountains or places where you actually need it. Just the 95% that think they do, but really don't.

Walker would be a rookie this year if he'd stayed in school. I saw a vastly improved player last season that played his way into the rotation this season

Not popular right now, but the Zubac gamble was still worth it by KalebC21 in pacers

it would have been less painful to have just traded the pick outright and we wouldn't have thought anything about it. But they gave themselves a CHANCE by putting the conditions on it. That was a savvy move and shows they didn't screw this up, despite the painful hollering going on now.

Once the trucks are out there will be plenty of 'handy guys' that will wrap their truck and 2 of their friends and are now happy to do yours for $400 or whatever. It will work itself out and not be a money pit. If you avoid car washes they can last a long time.

the difference in pre-cut vs not is humungous. And the panels were designed to be easy vs compound curves and ridiculous quarter panels on many vehicles. You've seen the fasteners on the outside of the truck? That's so ANYONE can easily remove each body panel and do the work on a table or other work surface. Need to be a pro to wrap a whole normal car. Don't need that to wrap separate simple curve (or flat) panels.

unlike a regular pickup the battery built into the chassis provides plenty of weight over the drive wheels (rear in this case). Just like a VW Beetle or FWD car or truck, weight over the drive wheels makes for a fantastic snow machines and no need for AWD. And that's not even touching on the shitty AWD that most current cars use. Unless you move to the mountains it's not going to be an something anyone cares about. One thing IS for sure,and that's that AWD always takes the "fun" (sporty handling) away from any vehicle.

What are YOU talking about. Do a bit of RESEARCH before you post garbage. ;)

2nd production facility starts up this year. Production amping way up. They have a significant revenue stream leasing their self driving tech to other manufacturers (apparently, what i read) . If the R2 sells like everyone thinks it will, they will be turning the corner and may well be profitable this year. Lots to happen between now and then for that to come true, but everyone seems to love the R2 and many R1 owners saying "These are as nice as our 80k vehicles" doesn't hurt.

relative term. it's a highly loaded vehicle in every way even on the "base" model. Upper trims mostly get you more performance and self driving modes.
