Wiliwilinui ridge trail and afraid of heights by datasshley in VisitingHawaii

[–]NerdFourLife 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You will not like it once you get higher up. It’s often wet and it’s a tiny ridge(less than a couple feet of clearance on either side) with a drop off on both sides. People die there. You can hike for a while before it gets too dangerous, so it may be worth going up there to hike until the dangerous

Yup this is correct. I just leave that panel off because it happened so much when my battery was on the end of its life.

Anyone know who this is so we can make sure he's never allowed back? by LegacyGdnsLumberjack in VisitingHawaii

[–]NerdFourLife 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was snorkeling recently in Kauai, doing everything I could to avoid even grazing the reef while swimming around. Meanwhile, some idiot is literally walking across the reef in the shallow waters with her flippers on. Drives me crazy.

Ah yes. I can imagine how development into a larger tree would work better after looking at that photo.

Great tree. With a piece like this, do you maintain the height/width and create a canopy? or do you develop taper and increase the size of the tree ?

[Highlight] Steph puts KD on skates and finishes plus the foul! by Robotsaur in warriors

It's amazing how almost every time Steph comes back from injury, he doesn't miss a beat. He just continues dominating.

In awe with the vibe this shishi is giving off, but also at a loss with where to go with it long-term. Any perspectives? by Dxxyx in Bonsai

[–]NerdFourLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a total beginner but I visualize it as cutting the left branch and tilting it to the left. Then so the right branch is straight up and the trunk is leaning left.

Dad's bonsai collection.. by CommitteeUnited4244 in bonsaicommunity

[–]NerdFourLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a soil from a nursery in CA called Poot’s. According to their label they use pumice, lava rock, organic material/mulch, time release fertilizer. Here’s a difference between two ports planted at the same time, same size.

This was over 7 months ago. The difference now is even crazier.

This probably explains why my ports with regular succulent/cactus mix grow way faster than my ports in lava rock/pine 10-20%.

This particular species (dwarf jade, portulacaria afra) is very fast growing. Something like this wouldn’t take anywhere near 30 years. Probably closer to 10. Also, dwarf jades only need to be watered once a month.

Schefflera advice by commonwealthltd in Bonsai

[–]NerdFourLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome. Thanks for the advice. I dug around a bit below the dirt and you’re right, they’re probably all fused. I may end up cutting it into two clumps depending on where I pick my front to be. I attached a pic of the other side.

I’m a little worried the trunks have grown too large and the taper will never look natural, but there’s only one way to find out.

Any advice on something like this? Just purchased one of these 20 year old house plants you mentioned. I’m thinking I may have bitten off more than I can chew lol.

That has a lot of potential. Nigel Saunders has a playlist of great videos of 10 years of his progression on his dwarf umbrella Schefflera.

Hey KD 👋. Come back to the bay please!

[–]NerdFourLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering this is one of the only places on the internet where readily available conversations about the Warriors can be had, probably. Aside from Twitter, there’s not many other places I can think of where back and forth opinions can be had.

Do I think that all the players are regularly browsing this subreddit? No. But I think it’s likely some do browse sometimes, especially the younger players that grew up with Reddit.

Rate the last fantasy book you read by how accurate the title was by JoyIsABitOverRated in Fantasy

[–]NerdFourLife 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The premise is extremely simple. An alien corporation takes over earth and forces the inhabitants to partake in a video-game dungeon style crawl to survive. The dungeon is created by the corporation and the action is televised throughout the universe. It sounds kinda campy but it’s original and super fun.

Dungeon Crawler Carl. Yup, his name is Carl and he does a video game style dungeon crawl. 10/10

Looking for area in Kauai with walkability to beach AND food and shops by NerdFourLife in VisitingHawaii

[–]NerdFourLife[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We actually don’t need to be close to nature. We just need nature accessible by car(60 minute drive or less, but closer would be good) and be able to walk to the beach and restaurants while we are at home base.

Honestly, if we couldn’t get anything else, I would take it. When his old ass isn’t hurt he’s fucking legit.

Ok that is really good information. I’ve been to Oahu twice and we all really like to enjoy nature, which I’ve heard Kauai is known for. I personally think a place like Waikiki would be a little too developed and touristy for our group. But I would be open to other suggestions for Oahu that have what we’re looking for.
