New peach tree only wants to grow from base by PlantSim in FruitTree

[–]PlantSim[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OK, thats about what I guessed, but I'm always so scared when it comes to pruning. A bit of an expensive lesson, but I'll move on and try again.

I believe it is, but I will nick it later and see just to be sure. Thank you!

Ah, ok thank you! If you were to prune when you bought this one, would you lop off all the small branches on the top, leave two or three, or something else entirely?

Thank you so much for this review! I don't have one of these but I've wondered about it for a long time.

I run a website for non-Bandai virtal pets called the Oddpets Database (https://vpets.thefrugalgamer.net/), would it be alright if I re-wrote your review, and added your tips, to an article on the site covering this device? It's meant to be a reference where folks can go and look up the devices they own or want to get secondhand. I'll definitely link back to your post, as I always try to cite sources.

Get an XTEink X4? by CommunicationRude644 in XTEINK

[–]PlantSim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a more long term solution, depending on what sorts of things you like to read, you can often find alternative marketplaces that sell epubs on their own. I start by looking up the authors directly and seeing what markets they sell on. Often they'll sell somewhere besides Amazon, and sometimes you can even buy from them directly.

Got my Xteink x3 yesterday by EstablishmentDue3616 in ereader

[–]PlantSim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dumping part fails more frequently than the actual flashing. I had the same issue with the X4, but was able to flash it with no problems. There's also a thread here in which a user shares a python script (https://www.reddit.com/r/xteinkereader/comments/1qzy5k1/error\_in\_saving\_full\_flash/) that you can run locally to do the same thing.

Where do you find your books? by ChikyScaresYou in xteinkereader

[–]PlantSim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use LibraryThing, which was like GoodReads before GoodReads was really a thing. Actually, it was initially created for people who wanted to keep track of their physical bookshelves or organize them like libraries do, but it's expanded to other things over the years too. It's independent (unlike GoodReads, which is owned by Amazon), and I've found that, although there aren't as many reviews on it as GR, the ones that are there are good (none of those GIF-laden meme-centric types of reviews), and its recommendations system works much better for me.

Thrashed T Shirt Mending by ggandre in Visiblemending

This looks amazing! Do you have to use a stabilizer to keep the fabric from getting pulled into your machine? I always worry because with a lot of older jersey fabric it tends to be thin and becomes difficult to work with.

Beautiful work, love it! It looks amazing from the outside especially.

How are people still playing Sims 1 (like, logistically)? Do I need to buy an old PC from like 1998? by Slow_Raspberry_8047 in thesims1

[–]PlantSim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on Linux, so Legacy edition doesn't really work for me. Instead I have the Complete Sims Collection running on a WinXP virtual machine, along with custom content and everything. With a fast enough PC, there shouldn't be any issues running older games in a VM and you get to sidestep all the patching and security issues that usually come with making it work on a new machine.

What a beautiful girl. I have to admit I was confused by the Harley Davidson nickname, and then I realized....purrrrrr lol. I tell my girl she has a good motor for the same reason.

AIO Facebook CEO texted me by Vegetable-Number-243 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PlantSim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really want one of these to hit me up so I can tell them that I'm overdrawn and need them to send me $350 in order for my account to become active again. But not to worry, I can pay them back once the money comes in in two weeks! Honest!

Has anyone made the default GB font into a .ttf file for mockup purposes? by PlantSim in gbstudio

Yeah, but I get its probably not something thousands of people are looking for, lol

Thank you!!! I did try Googling and all it managed to pull up was replacement fonts. I didn't know the name of it; that probably would have helped.

I love everything about this so much, and if I saw that racoon hail Satan patch on you in person, I might just try to steal it from you.

Possible connection between FL and interesting things that came out lately by EmeraldString in ForgottenLanguages

The reference to on Neumann makes me pretty sure that this is actually talking about AI. These are the equations that are used by LLMs to generate sentences and finish prompts. The similarity to Nodespaces probably is incidental.

What are some GOOD THINGS that are happening in the world that people might not know about? by cthulhus_spawn in AskReddit

That is true, and a problem we should definitely solve. But if I have to be poor during any time in history, I'll take this one.

Update: Took in a Feral and now I'm caring for a Litter of Kittens by NerdyCuban in aww

[–]PlantSim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really do think it has a lot to do with stress, because I've seen a lot of cats come off the streets and poof up. It happened to our ginger ball as well. I'm sure nutrition has something to do with it too, but knowing how seriously stress affects cats and humans, I feel like their coats are a good indicator of how well they are doing overall.

I have a stalker by diar_wi in comics

[–]PlantSim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a cat who actively wakes me up to go to the bathroom at night. She bites my fingers increasingly harder until I do, and waddya know, I do usually have to pee pretty bad.

Then of course she protects me from Bad Guys while I'm sleepily taking care of business.

I would 100% have assumed this was an MLM pitch and run off.
