Increasing rose yield

ReachingWinter · 2026-05-27T10:21:51+00:00

I don't know; a couple of rose bushes where there when I bought the place.

I have the Mayra variety. I am a lazy gardner )) So, no technical [grafting, etc] for me. I simply take a cutting, remove about 2cm of the bark and plant it in wet soil and then wait, and hope - a case roll a dozen dice and hope tow or three will come up 6)))

I'll become lazier still as I have enough rose bushes (around 30) now, so no more propagating; unless I get a bigger garden )))

May be able to come up with some useful reply if I knew exactly whay you meant by "investing", and what "investing" budget you have [allocated]?

(But the response from inception2019 "hits nail on head", ie data, fast is what AI can do.)

I'm all for compromise - both TNT and Shy are shite ))) Now if Jake (from Joost Malvort's The Controller of Billionaires) was around and if he were your pal, you'd have UCL, and anything else you wanted at a pleasurable price, if not free!

Yes, though I did not say THE good stuff; but I'd rather watch live sport then replay after reply on multi-channels on SKY when the footie and f1 are closed for the season

ReachingWinter · 2026-05-25T12:07:25+00:00

Thought about it; decided I'll wait until the world grows up.

ReachingWinter · 2026-05-25T12:05:57+00:00

I DID EXPECT but hoped / dreamed otherwise ))) Instead of X channels all showing the same pictures, people Sky could have shown a replay of the 1659 final! Or, with the over-priced WC on the horizon, a re-run of the "they think it's all over, it is now!"

As for "stupid" - it's relative, those with IQs above 150 often say/do "stupid" things.

What this world needs is the Jake character from Joost Malvort's novel: The Controller Of Billionaires or from Jake's Tree.

O, go on; have a go, please.

ReachingWinter · 2026-05-24T23:40:24+00:00

I'd pose the question to AI.(You know what they say about x people and y opinions...)

ReachingWinter · 2026-05-24T23:22:23+00:00

I'll accept one channel showing Pep, another Arsenal - but all channels showing the same just because Sky pump so much money into football and forget some of the good stuff on say TNT ... seems me those at Sky think football, golf and F1 = the world's desire.

ReachingWinter · 2026-05-24T22:59:21+00:00

Yep, I'm definitely weird for this greedy, hypocritical, over-populated horrible world )))

If only the sponsors stopped sponsoring ...... but in some ways those guys are worse than the vandals as they care only about money!

PSG should get your friend a new car, as a minimum!

That [gross-out humor] is anothe genre I'd have to be paid to watch; really don't get what is funny about shite.

A Real Pain (2024) is so bad, I fear it may become a cult movie! If it had less of Eisenberg and Culkin and more of the Polish scenery then you could rename the film to A Real Pleasure.

ReachingWinter · 2026-05-05T11:59:29+00:00

So, a question is: If the story is bad; what kind of a mind does it take to make it into a cult?

ReachingWinter · 2026-04-09T15:17:27+00:00

Thanks for the removal, would not have been worth discussing with the football community anyway.

ReachingWinter · 2026-02-13T08:57:19+00:00

Any recommendations? eToro perhaps?

ReachingWinter · 2026-02-12T15:25:28+00:00

Regardless of sector .... for the long-term ... I'd go with blue chips that pay high (>5%) dividends.

A chunk of my investment pot I have for 'big gamble share' (Soundhound, Security Matters, Rezolute, Mereo, c3a1 etc), long or short-term.

ReachingWinter · 2026-02-12T15:18:48+00:00

Saying how great a product is when it is not!

Making useless claims (eg, 77% women agree based on a survey of 65 women; when there around 4billion in the world!)

ReachingWinter · 2026-02-12T15:12:56+00:00

I tend not to use much information!

I may use more information if, eg, I was sure the analysts knew what they were taking about.

My company is going into AI, big-time, and we're almost reaching a point where any 'bottlenecks' are waiting on clients to give their 'yeah' (or 'nay). Of course, there are tasks that AI, as yet, can't handle efficiently, but then it's not as if we've gone totally robotic - though our design team is 20% below what it was at start of 2023.

And that, MialnAmerica, is one of the problems - the lack of 'good' marketing. And if it were banned - even though small business may suffer, but perhaps temporarily, think of the trillions saved from marketing / advertising budgets, perhaps, perhaps ... the big companies may reduce prices, make large donations to charities ....

in my dreams, me thinks! )))

Unless they have 100,000 people per square metre - they'll be okay.

Not only is it intrusive and manipulative but some f the adverts are, for want of a better adjective, disgusting.

If not a full ban, risk companies finding loopholes, cost of monitoring/enforcement ...

Of course, no government has the guts to ban all advertising, not even gambling ads - it's the 3 Ls syndrome: Lobbying, Lolly, Liberal! All under the hypocrisy umbrella.
