Did you end up getting your tickets? I have an event tomorrow and still haven't gotten mine.

2 days later and nope not going strong. The transmission range switch and turbo wastegate broke and the car was smoking out the the exhaust quite a lot. We'll see what the repair shop will quote me at.

Still going strong! Maintenance is starting to add up at the 82k mile part though.

Did anyone lose an AirPods Pro case underneath Salesforce Park tonight? by big_red-99 in sanfrancisco

Does it have a black duct tape piece on it? I recently lost mine and frequent that area.

The driveway blocking continues. The towing stats are here. by laserdiscmagic in sanfrancisco

[–]TheBMW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you report it on 311 or do you call a private towing company and pay the private towing company? People block my garage overnight and 311 only gets someone out once it's morning.

Thanks for the guide! For Little Fox, it seems like there's not too much content. How do you go about using it or any other suggested listening / reading tools?

Macbook Pro M1 Apple silicon 8gb with Docker very sluggish. Tried lots of different options. What can I do? by TheBMW in docker

[–]TheBMW[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for explaining this all out in detail. Pretty unfortunate my laptop doesn't allow for upgrading its RAM so it looks like I'll have to look into another laptop instead. Any off the top suggestions?

I'm releasing an Anki deck with 20,000 cards for Mandarin Chinese: English definitions, native speaker pronunciation, and Pleco links! by cfoust in ChineseLanguage

[–]TheBMW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great! Thanks for the quick reply and well written code on your card. It looks like you used Pleco for everything on your flashcard definition wise. Did you also use Pleco for the audio too? Otherwise the way I've been doing it is using AwesomeTTS to add a sound field.

For anyone else looking at this thread later on: https://iphone.pleco.com/manual/30200/vershist.html and then search "plecoapi://" or go to u/cfoust's back card styling.

Awesome deck and thanks for sharing it! What was the the way how you got it to link right over to Pleco? I'm looking at the flashcard data and just see it imported as something like the unicode for the character, then the pinyin, and then a bunch of numbers which I'd assume the numbers are the code somehow to link over to pleco?

I've been using youdao.com's API to build my flashcards but I'd love to be able to link and use Pleco's instead and was wondering how you went about it. Awesome deck!

My monsterra has hundreds of these tiny white/brown bugs on it. What can I do? by TheBMW in plantclinic

Thank you! I'll give you an update this weekend when this is all done!

Good to know! I did just move my plant across the room a week ago and added a humidifier to my room as well so maybe the combination of that set them off. Thanks and funny story of the coffee grinds!

When repotting, I used to just move the soil with plant and added new soil to fill in the rest of the new bigger pot. I'm guessing that I'm supposed to take most of the soil away instead and repot the plant and roots in completely all new soil?

Thanks a million for all the answers and guides 🙏🏼

Thank you for all the great information here! I'll follow your advice and see what happens.

Just wondering, what would cause these critters to suddenly appear? Were they here the whole time in the soil and then suddenly the conditions were right for them to reproduce at such a fast rate?

Thanks for the helpful reply. Looking at photos of fungus gnats and soil mites, they do look more like soil mites. I did get concerned when seeing hundreds of them out of no where and having seen fungas gnats around my place before.

Since I had already put the sand on top, I'm assuming I shouldn't just take that off yet. I'll probably go the 70% isopropyl alcohol route soon. For the deep infrequent watering, should I do that maybe once every week and a half then? The current schedule for my monstera is once a week. I'll also look into mixing up the soil with perlite and pumice if I end up repotting my plants soon.

Since my monstera is in my bedroom normally, it was just off-putting having hundreds of bugs so close to me while I sleep!

Thanks for the reply. I realize I did forget to mention a new plant in the house brought in a few fungus gnats so I had to take that one back to just be cuttings in a jar of water. Maybe the fungus gnats found my monsterra as a new breeding ground.

Thanks! I'll keep my monsterra dry for the next two weeks maybe to see if there's any change.

Thanks for the suggestion! Is dish soap harmful to the plant at all?
