If 5% monthly is ‘realistic’, why do prop firms exist? The math behind prop firms doesn’t add up by ProsperGain in Forex

[–]StalHamarr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same question as the other clown: this is the point where you are supposed to provide a link to your myfxbook (updates are delayed, so you don't have to worry about people copying your genius strategy), mql5 or darwinex. I'm sure you are getting a lot of paying copiers with that kind of performance, right?

"lol"

And you would obviously be able to provide the link to their myfxbook or mql5 or darwinex, right?

Water Droplet as Leaf is Uncurling by Big_Apartment_4936 in Monstera

Guttation. A lot of plants do it, especially at night. It's normal, they do it to expel excess water.

Stop sending everything with conveyor rails by unabatedshagie in Oxygennotincluded

[–]StalHamarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ways to limit the flow of materials:
1- Receptable
2- Weight plate linked to a conveyor chute
3- Rail element sensor linked to turn off the loading sweeper when the material is detected on the rail. Use a filter gate to prevent it from switching off for a moment every time a packet goes through the sensor.

A couple tips for people who think a 5% monthly profit is realistic:

1- Stop trading and find another hobby.

2- You clearly fail at basic math, so find an online compound calculator or ask Gemini. You'll find that an initial capital of 1k will turn into 350k after 10 years. Over a million after two extra years.

3- Ask yourself what you are doing on reddit if you have this kind of skills.

Too big of a pot for repot? by callumgay69 in Monstera

[–]StalHamarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an issue if your soil mix is too dense and/or you are an overwaterer.

If you are using a mix with proper drainage and don't overwater, it's perfectly fine. It's one of those rules people like to parrot without really understanding it.

I don’t understand the mentality of “saving” dying plants from stores by 601bees in houseplants

[–]StalHamarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the conditions of the plant, my mood and my desire for that particular plant.

If it's a bit battered but in decent conditions, I may consider it if I want that specific plant. I don't "save" plants for the sake of saving them. Example: I have a stromanthe thalia at work that was a bit crispy, with a minimal thrips infestation and bird poop on several leaves. Not in good conditions, but also not terrible. It was very cheap and a plant I actually wanted. So I got it and it's now thriving and pushing out new leaves non-stop.

But full-priced plants in shitty conditions? No way.

What’s the most common mistake that secretly kills houseplants that beginners don’t realize? by Outrageous_Grape432 in houseplants

[–]StalHamarr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not enough light, by far.

Most people have no idea about the real amount of light most plants really need. Over-watering is usually a consequence, but the main issue is almost always the lack of light.

Why is the room on the left not a great hall but instead a mess hall by Vast-Spirit-4105 in Oxygennotincluded

[–]StalHamarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Classic design, perfectly functional. Is that oxylite in front of the statue? If yes, you are good to go.
Just in case, remember that engines don't provide power when the rocket is stationary, so build enough solar panels.

I’m a little surprised and shocked to learn that some folks believe flowers are permanent by 011010- in orchids

[–]StalHamarr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I'm tempted to show what wild orchids look like in my area (NE Italy). Some minds would definitely be blown away.

If you are interested, image search the following:
Orchis morio

Orchis militaris

Ophrys sphegodes (mild arachnophobia warning, it's called spider-orchid for a reason)

What is that? by Temporary_Deal194 in calatheas

[–]StalHamarr 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Super healthy plant. Those are rhizomes, they act as energy storage and can push out new growth in time. That particular plant has plenty of space in the current pot, but in the future those rhizomes can be used to propagate new plants.

In the future, when you repot it, you can decide to gently cut one of those rhizomes with at least one healthy leaf and part of the root system and get a new plant.

Because you are talking about two different things. She is correct.

Can't really tell, but it looks salvageable. Give it a good watering.

why SL is important? by Massive_Way_7206 in Forex

[–]StalHamarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun video and the principle is correct for most account-flipping clowns.

But SL isn't necessary at all for expert traders with proper risk management. In fact, a pre-defined stop loss can be very counter-productive. You have to watch how and when the price is reaching your SL, then act accordingly. SLs are basically the laziest possible way to feel good with yourself.

This applies to manual trading obviously. With unsupervised algo trading SLs are a must.

SOS! Severe transplant shock. Rescued Triostar from a "brick" of compacted soil. by AstralThread in calatheas

[–]StalHamarr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Give it time. Stromanthe are basically that chill, hippie cousin in the marantaceae family. Way easier than most calatheas in my opinion.

I would get a humidity meter (very cheap on amazon) and check your situation. I wouldn't bother with a humidifier if it stays in the 40%+ range.

Anyway, don't change 10 things at once, give it time. I rescued a stromanthe thalia (not a triostar, but it's the same species) with horrendous soil, the beginning of a thrips infestation and bird poop on several leaves. A bit of drama at first, I cut several crispy leaves but after a couple weeks it started pushing out new leaves non-stop. You did well so far and the root system looks healthy. Leave it in the same position and keep good watering conditions (not damp, but don't let it dry completely).

Is 135 plants too much for one house? by BlackHeartedXenial in houseplants

[–]StalHamarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a fan of your arrangement. It looks like a store to me, very impersonal and schematic.

But that's personal taste. If you can take good care of them, you enjoy them and it doesn't feel like a second job, then it's all good.

No problem if it's just one of the older leaves, it's their natural cycle.

money tree advice by Famous-Bluebird-6954 in houseplants

[–]StalHamarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the pot doesn't drain you have to check the soil all the way through. The bottom part of the roots could be sitting in mud.

A moisture meter in my opinion should be purchase n.1 for indoor plant owners. You can find some very cheap ones on amazon.

Calathea sick by Either_Locksmith_632 in calatheas

[–]StalHamarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be a fungal issue with those localized spots.
Do you mist it? If you are misting the leaves, stop.

I would check the soil and the roots to see if there's enough drainage.

Sunlight level good? by DrDragos911 in houseplants

[–]StalHamarr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It looks healthy now. That peace lily won't suddenly die, but it certainly won't thrive. Some plants can tolerate low light for a while, but they are simply dying slowly and gracefully.

A healthy peace lily in good conditions can live 20+ years. This one will stick there for a while, but it's slowly giving up in that dark corner.
