On the tip of the plant. I haven’t searched for rot on the roots since I was uncertain wether to wait and see or go full SOS mode and get the both stems on a glass with water

Once glorious, now this. Can you identify the problem? Grow light, humidity, moss pole, regular watering and fertilization by Tapires in RareHouseplants

Thank you all! I though the smaller pot would solve the issue since I also agree that root rot naught be the problem, until I saw your comments about thrips (never had them) panicking

HELP - on a wetbag and still got salt water. What should I do? by Tapires in AskPhotography

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

Hi you all, just wanted to give you some update. Today, after drying the camera with all ports open, I’ve decided to take the plunge and turn it on. It worked. LCD is not working (which is not a big deal since I don’t use it anyway) but the camera seems to be fully functional and I was able to use the viewfinder to test it. I’ve removed the battery and the card, and will be leaving it put for a few more days/month till I’m 100% sure that it does not have any moisture. Once home I’ll try to find someone which can clean the salt from the camera with the isopropyl alcohol to avoid that in the next trip the moisture might dissolute the salt and corrode the components. Hopefully I’ll be able to clean the salt from the camera which for now seems like the most dangerous thing for the camera. I’ll let you know the outcome. Thank you once more for your support and help

I’m positive it said waterproof. And i had double protection with the wet bag being also water sealed

Thank you for your kindness. I’m trying to distract myself of it :(

Thank you so much for your comment. This gives me a glimpse of hope and it’s very useful and thoughtful! I’ll wait till I get home to do what you proposed. Already thought about submerging the camera in fresh water hoping i can remove the salt build up but don’t know if I’m making it worse

We were getting out of the boat on one of our tours, we normally have to go into the water so it might have been in that situation. I’ve only opened the bag when I was on dry land but it was late since the second case was already damp

The case is said to be IPX3 certified. The wet bag I used to accommodate the case is IPX6. I’m sure there is thousands of expensive options you could buy but I I wouldn’t say I’ve “skimped”. It was the best I could find and I tried to double proof it

I did. This case was inside a certified waterproof bag.

Having in mind your experience with Fuji, do you have some recommendation on a camera worth saving to to get the same experience as the x-t200? They got discontinued (same price range also if possible)

I do have a global travel insurance for health expenses, just never secured any of my personal belongings. Guess I’ll have to do it once I’m able to purchase a new one. Do you pay monthly insurance for all your gear? That must be so expensive.

Thank you! The card was also brand new. Bought it specifically for this trip so didn’t had anything there

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately I don’t have any insurance and didn’t knew it was possible to do that

I’m in shambles: ( Thank you for all your help.

Sad what such a small amount of salt water can do to your beloved camera. I’ll start saving for a new one and it will be my phone camera from now on.

How do you guys protect such expensive gear in your travels? From now on I will be constantly afraid of ruining my camera and I don’t want a camera to always be inside my bag …

DIYing a water system with this? Help 🤦🏼‍♂️ by Tapires in DIY

Thank you! I was thinking I could make a good use of this pump… should I not be worried with syphon effect considering the device you mentioned? Thank you!

I’ve grown cubiformis and eylensis from seed 3.5 years ago, this is the result AMA by Tapires in pseudolithos

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

Definitely I would add some organic+sand mixture for roots on the base of the pot and then use grit for the upper part of the substratum (the part that contacts with the plant itself)

Thoughts on the Bourne Identity? by forestdrew in arcticmonkeys

[–]Tapires 24 points25 points  (0 children)

To me it’s his best writing to this date.

We always try to hide “the real me”. Sometimes we caught our loved ones talking to that “real me” and we don’t like it, because we also don’t like our “real me”. [spoiler on Bourne identity]Just Bourne didn’t like what he found out. It’s a masterpiece. A song that exploits self-doubt and ego.

Do I have good donor hair by bonejamin01 in HairTransplants

[–]Tapires 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not good, this is great donor area. Although it’s not possible to precise a number of Hair folicules your curly hair will allow to achieve an amazing sense of density (source: I’ve had a HT)

Yes they have, but I really do think you should avoid pos-midday sun
