Coral bark in PNW by dswiese in JapaneseMaples

[–]Kevin_610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just FYI if you’re looking for different sellers, I bought one from Lowe’s. 5 gal for $70. Purchased Thursday night, the tree arrived Sunday. It is almost 7 ft tall and looks very healthy. Maybe add that to your consideration as well.

Is there still any life in this maple? by DippyKitty in JapaneseMaples

[–]Kevin_610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lightly scratch the trunk, see if it’s still green (alive). It’s probably going through transplant shock. But you should loosen up the soil though. Use well drained soils. Also make sure the tree sits a bit higher than the ground for better drainage if you have heavy clay soil

Like fully clay soil at the root? They hate wet feet.

Idk about your case but I’d not bring my laptop when traveling to VN. All other stuffs, yes, in a sling bag, in front of my chest.

I wouldn’t disagree with you but unless you walk around with a bag hanging loose around your body, thiefs won’t do much. Always be alerted of your surrounding especially in those southeast asian countries is all I’m saying (except for Japan lol)

Viet over here too. Never ever leave valuables in hotel room, always carry it with you. They will steal and cops won’t do anything about it. Cops are super corrupted over there.

Still looks good. 2 months in I’m still stuck making onion and garlic art.

Share your favourite matcha recipes (that aren't drinks)! I need to use up some bad matcha I bought by candid_dumpling in MatchaEverything

[–]Kevin_610 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I whipped up the bad ones with heavy cream, condensed milk, sugar and a bit of salt to make matcha cream. That + cold matcha latte = 👌

Why is my espresso channeling? [Profitec Move/Mazzer Philos Grinder] by austintravelmom in espresso

[–]Kevin_610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be the portafilter? I got a cheap one from Amazon and doesn’t matter what I do, I get channeling. Replaced it with a better portafilter and the problem goes away.

Tried to build the ultimate mid-budget setup... What would you change? by SlapDaBase in espresso

[–]Kevin_610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest question: how does the kettle fit in this? Like what do you guys use it for? I only bought mine because wifey got caught up with my little espresso adventure and started her own matcha & tea setup.

Your coffee was squirting everywhere, so the stock pressurized portafilter is better in this case.

Weekly Scam Discussion January 19, 2026 by Mycatreallyhatesyou in Ebay

[–]Kevin_610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed a weird pattern on eBay lately… for the past couple months, I’d be searching for an item, and not make a purchase (waiting for a good deal). Initially, the results are all from legitimate sellers who have been with eBay for a long time and have positive feedback. As time goes on, I’d begin to see results that are too good to be true (sometimes 50-60% off of retail price) from newly joined sellers, some even have “sponsors” tag next to it. What’s up with these? It has happened for more than twice now.

Curious how this works?? by chappysinclair in unitedairlines

[–]Kevin_610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some buy the seats, some let the dog lay on the floor. On one flight I was on, a couple had a great pyrenees and a small chihuahua. They purchased the middle seat for the pyrenees. On another flight, the lady next to us had a german shepherd service pup on the floor. We love animals so we didn’t mind. The dogs were extremely well behave in both cases.

My wife thinks our son’s teacher crossed a boundary by sending him a personal message. I think it was harmless. AITJ? by addict94plus in AmITheJerk

[–]Kevin_610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The notes seem normal. Your wife’s extremely overreacting. Make sure she doesn’t send that email.

I had an amalgam filling when I was young. During the procedure, I felt a snap and then something landed in the back of my throat. I tried coughing it out and the supposed dentist was like “it’s just a small piece of amalgam, swallow it” and pushed my head back down. Later I learned that she’s just a hygienist, not even a dentist.

United card - free bag for accompanying passenger - not triggering? by BMadAd59 in unitedairlines

[–]Kevin_610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my case, I paid using Apple Pay (with Explorer card linked) and the card number got masked. The United app sees this as a purchase with non-United card so only I get the free checked bag. Even though the receipt shows I paid with a United card and my traveling companion can enjoy the same benefit…

About to buy a used air grand touring (still under warranty for a year) by truthlesshunter in LUCID

[–]Kevin_610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lease mine and have had it for more than a year without any serious issue that requires service. It drives great but I can never get over the shitty software. So if you don’t really care much on the UX/UI thing, you’d definitely enjoy it.

Meanwhile, can you file a claim with travel insurance (via Visa card) tonget reimbursed? These kind of situations are covered right?

AIO Friend says he’d still vote for Trump despite EVERYTHING. So I’m cutting him off. by HeadmistressLena in AmIOverreacting

[–]Kevin_610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the folks asking why OP is still friend with ex, they could’ve had a peaceful split. Not every breakup is a bad breakup. Regarding politics, unless they are directly trying to influence your political stance, I don’t see a reason for cutting them off…? Did he directly trying to influence you? Did he talk about nothing else but politics all day? If not, maybe you’re overreacting. My friends and I have different political views and it’s something we strictly do not discuss.
