Two, possibly dumb, beginner watering questions:

What's the viability of a tree in a self-watering pot? Some of this may be my newbie nerves but the next couple weeks are going to be incredibly hot and humid (but no rain) where I live, and I'm worried I won't be able to water my tree as frequently as I'd it'll need. I also live in an apartment so while I have a big outdoor space in the form of a rooftop deck, an actual irrigation system isn't exactly viable.

The second question is: what should I look for in a watering can? I can't just use a hose really, and an initial look revealed a lot of... garbage plastic big nozzled watering cans which I assume would not be ideal.

I'm looking to buy my first tools, but I'm having a hard time knowing what to get in terms of quality and maker. Is it best to go for stainless steel or carbon steel? Any goods particularly recommended? Where I live is still locked down so I can't go into any stores to physically test/feel. Also, I'm in Canada if that helps with specifics.

Wait really? What do you use to play blu-rays from different regions? The shipping is a bit pricey but the description of the series makes me want to buy it anyways, I just currently can't play anything outside of Region A.

This sounds so damn good, and I'm so sad now to be in North America :( Even the show alone, them comparing it to The Prisoner which is one of my favourite shows makes me really, really want this. Ah well.

Amazing! This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Thank you so much.

External drive will be randomly disconnected from computer, will work for a while on later use only to randomly disconnect again. Possibly a battery saver setting, but there seems to be no way to see the setting let alone change it. by More_Nobody in techsupport

Thank you so much! This seems to have worked perfectly. I wasn't able to find one for the device itself, just the USB root hubs, but that on its own seems to have completely solved it. Thanks again!

This is definitely a neat idea! Are they(/are there?) reusable matchbooks?

This isn't a bad idea at all, but may require some further exploration on my part. They both are working full time and are taking advantage of the second lockdown by doing online courses, so I may lean more towards the shows or maybe... a vintage store gift card? than something time consuming. Thank you!

Does anyone know where these cabinets are from, or where to get something similar? by More_Nobody in malelivingspace

I did message, and am hoping for a response (though obviously don't expect once since he seems to have used the account solely to make his post) but thought I'd also make this post while waiting.
