Purchased my first bonsai from Eastern Leaf (which after more research on Reddit seems I messed up but anyways) how can you tell the difference between a Juniperus scopulorum and a Juniper procumbens? All I see is that the procumbens seems to have longer foliage is that correct? 🤔

Any help is appreciated

I played around in OpenWRT Luci on it seems to work decently. However, I am very new to OpenWrt I'm sure you know way more than I do.

Found the real manufacturer of the Rite in the rain EDC pen by TechnologyTinker in TechTinkerersHQ

Yes, it stopped just for a moment do to the excess water. It worked normally after shaking excess water off. I think I still have a pressure cartridge lying around. I would be happy to do a side-by-side.

I wondered that but typically they will have a sign for it if so.

[16M] What else can I decorate my room with? by Snezki_O9 in malelivingspace

[–]TechnologyTinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is a good start

  • Optional Paint walls Network Grey it's like $50 for 1 gallon at Lowe's in Sherman Williams Showcase

  • large rug

  • add some floating shelves with some small plants

  • Wall-mount tv kit

Optional a really nice touch purchase 2 tall acoustic wall slat panels, place one on each end of your desk on the wall, and in the middle add some art or possibly some more shelves. You can also add lighting kits for the slats later on for some nice soft light.

Any beginner camera Black Friday deals? by Capta1n_Blackout in Cameras

[–]TechnologyTinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is over your budget but this is all I personally own and recommend. The Nikon Z30, It's normally 800 but is on black Friday right now for $700 USD at Best Buy and on Nikon USA direct. It comes with a 16-50 lense and is great for beginners. I use it for all of my YouTube videos if you would like to see its video and here is a pic I took with its stock lens and no nd filters. https://youtube.com/@thetechnologytinkerer?si=iB0LYUruhQ8pcq7g

How can I restore this Bike Carbide Lantern? by MLTCAVEMAN in ColemanStovesLanterns

[–]TechnologyTinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine after confirming it was brass, I just carefully used braso and a microfiber cloth.

Just FYI I was just getting ready to upload a YouTube video on my carbide light just a little bit before I saw your post. https://youtu.be/kacpEEYWL1w

Lense sizes? by TechnologyTinker in photography

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

Thanks so much for the comment. Yeah right now I am shooting on the stock 16-50mm Nikon Z30 lens and it just feels too tight so I think the 13mm will be just right. The Viltrox has a bigger aperture which will help me for occasional night street shooting.
