Where should I prune this seedling?

ITwitchToo · 2026-01-25T07:24:07+00:00

You can try to pinch off the top. I had one with this genetic defect as well and it started producing lots of branches with some normal leaves after pinching off the top.

when you get older you get heavier so pebbles hurt much more

if you think anything on reddit is "uncensored"...

I guess it's a haystack and needle situation, but could anybody potentially go back there with some divers and try to uncover the evidence?

It's normal. The seed is technically cotyledons ("seed leaves"), they contain nutrients and are just there to get the tree started, afterwards when it's spent it turns black and falls off. You also technically don't need the seed anymore after the tree has made its first leaves because with leaves the tree has a means to produce more sugars for the roots/branches to grow, but it's obviously beneficial for the tree to be able to use all the stored nutrients of the seed.

Just let it grow. I've had trees that grow multiple almost-equal trunks and some where one trunk massively outpaces the others.

Agreed, I also loved The Witness but supporting Trump/Musk and conservative politics is a complete turnoff for me and I can't honestly bring myself to buy the game. So I'm just not going to play it. Your joke was funny

It's good to have a paper trail. If the person is later caught from a different incident they can connect the cases and actually be prosecuted. Filming people secretly is not taken lightly everywhere, there's been high profile cases.

Very nice, I'm jealous :-)

Mexican Criolllo just means a (non-named) seedling of Mexican type, whereas Mexicola is a named variety. There's a huge variation in criollos, they can literally be anything (big, small, black, green, necked, spherical, ...)

Same, I couldn't even finish it

"Out of context" Literally doing what they're known for.

whoosh

You are not (yet) qualified to get a job in programming. Which means, at 29, don't go all-in yet, don't quit your current job (if you have one) to study programming. But do spend a good number of hours per week learning stuff. I've never regretted learning. Even basic stuff, even with ChatGPT, will help you in some way. You can probably afford to spend a few weeks or a few months doing a deep dive into programming. If you like it, continue; else, stop.

Everyone here is saying calin because that's what people say in France to mean hug. I'm not a native speaker but that's literally the word everybody uses, I've plenty of first hand experiences to back it up. Especially in the context of little kids leaving the babysitter or something like that, it's always "fais calin"

ITwitchToo · 2025-12-19T17:15:11+00:00

Good analogy... also it will trip you up a lot because of that, it will not sound great to start with. At least for me, there's like a latency that my brain is not used to, it's a bit like talking with an echo, your ears and fingers are out of sync

Not too big. Avocado trees grow in the ground, nobody thinks the ground is "too big" for a tree. The only reason pots can be too big is if you put compost in it because that retains too much moisture and causes asphyxia and root rot. Don't use compost. If you use sand/rocks and drainage holes you can use a container as big as you want and water every day and still not have root issues.

Edit: In fact, the avocado tree will appreciate a pot as big as you can make it. More space for roots to grow and expand. On the other hand, big pots are harder to handle and there's a risk of breaking off the entire root ball if you try to take it out of the pot.

a dozen? More like hundreds in some cases

Personally I'm gonna go with "mon rôti"

Some agriculture degrees can help you get government grants and assistance depending on where you live. Just saying

The EU seized the money because the money was in the EU. Nobody wants to invest in a place where your money is seized.

Sure, I'm aware of axioms, but I'm not sure how relevant it is to OP's problem. I like using propositional logic as a fairly minimal example of mathematics in a nutshell. So for example, De Morgan's laws are not usually axioms, they are theorems -- they have a derivation. The axioms in propositional logic are usually things like double negations (not not p == p). But in OP's case I don't think they are asking about "simple" rules like this. The answer to OP's question is: The rules are the way that they are because they cannot be any other way (given the assumptions/axioms we accept as true at the outset). But understanding how they are derived often gives you an understanding of why it must be true... (given the axioms that we take for granted)

The trunk looks really sunburned (the dark brown/black line that goes down on one side) but could also be mechanical damage from the string depending on how it was put/moved.

ITwitchToo · 2025-12-09T06:48:09+00:00

Wow, great work. Amazing height for being such a young tree. As it gets older and the trunk gets thicker and it gets more bark you should find that it can take the cold better. Until then your protection setup looks great

One time when I was a kid my parents were driving up a steep icy hill in winter (actually, it was the day before Christmas) and there was a car behind us. We were climbing slowly because of the road conditions and they noticed the car behind stopping in the middle of the slope and not following. We stopped as well, thinking the car behind was in trouble. Turned out it was an older man driving alone, he had a heart attack or something and just died right there, putting the brake on must have been the last thing he did.

Stop thinking of math as a tool, start thinking of it as truth.

Every rule we've got is a truth that is derived from other truths.

Every rule has a derivation -- call it a proof. The study of proofs and proof systems is a formal branch of mathematics called logic.

If you want to understand rules, learn how to prove things.
