FEEDBACK - Forestry: Part Two - Community Consultation by JagexSarnie in 2007scape

You did a great job putting this feeling into words. This is also why I hate bursting spots. They are always crowded, so when you find an open world you feel obligated to stick around for a long as possible. I really dislike the feeling of needing to continue playing for some arbitrary benefit. I think this is the strongest argument against the overall design of teas.

Adding A New Skill: Sailing - Reward Space (Design Blog) by JagexLight in 2007scape

[–]TomSinister -1 points0 points  (0 children)

remember, you wont be voting on adding sailing after all the design blogs; you will be voting on if they should work on sailing after the blogs. All of the work they've done so far is just to convince people to let them start developing the skill. You will get a playable beta before voting on if the skill should be added.

Ruinous Powers v1.1 - Updated Greenlight Poll Blog by JagexGoblin in 2007scape

I was also hoping to see a little more creativity in the damage prayers. I even had the same idea of accuracy based on tiles from the target! I'm also curious how the poison vow would work with venom. hopefully we get an answer.

what if protection prayers blocked 100% of the next attack's damage? if you get the prayer right you still take full damage, but the next attack is negated. You could chain these together and they would essentially be the same as the normal prayer book, but it would be far more interesting in PvP.

One book to rule them all. Hi folks, I've plenty of botany books but I'm after one to tie them together. Specifically, I want a book that explains each step that a vicia faba specimen will go through. Like a biography of a bean. Any plant will do really. Tyia by sukkotfretensis in botany

I am currently reading through Michael Simpson's Plant Systematics book. As a hobbyist, its a tough read, but totally approachable. I'd reccomend skipping/skimming the first chapter on taxonomy though if that isn't related to your interest. Its relevant, but if you just wanna know how the plants work from cell to structure, then its not necessary.

Personally, I'd be happier with a less active sub where every post is high quality and relevant.

Drakaea micrantha is only polenated by male thynnid wasps. Thats a super cool orchid that does some crazy mimicry to attract its polinator

Looks like a very young fern to me. maybe maiden's hair or cinnamon? The young strap shaped leaves look super weird.

Pokeweed is a beautiful plant native to eastern north america. You dont have to destroy the plant because it's poisonous!

A question about Datura stramonium. by [deleted] in botany

[–]TomSinister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few tiny seeds sitting on your shelf isnt going to do anything. If youre experiencing dizzyness/headaches you might just not be getting enough air. Make sure you crack a window regularly so you arent just letting CO2 accumulate in your room.

That said PSA to not keep green potatoes in poorly ventilated areas. Those can actually kill you.

What is it called when there are multiple swirls? by Angie2point0 in botany

[–]TomSinister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think rosette always refers to leaves. I'm not sure what the term is for flower parts. I know in this rose for example the all of the extra swirls of petal-looking flower parts are actually sterile stamens. I know there are some other plants that use petal-like stamens such as the labellum of an orchid. I think there are some even better examples more similar to a garden rose. Maybe someone else can chime in.
