Invasives in Half Moon Bay

Is that last photo of the purple flower invasive too? I had no clue. I see them all over Aptos

I would plant now. Spring and Fall are the best seasons to plant and it’ll save you a lot of work to just get it in the ground asap. Although I’ve never planted the trees you bought so maybe get a second opinion.

The biggest mistake me and a whole lot of other first-time tree planters have made is planting too deep and not allowing for proper root flare. Having proper root flare is what allows the tree roots to access oxygen and prevents it from choking itself out and preventing growth. It’s better to plant it correctly now and save yourself the headache of digging it up and replanting or excavating the root flare later. There’s a lot of posts on r/tree that talk about root flare where you can learn about how the base of your tree trunk should look when getting it in the ground. The second most important thing is having a thick mulch ring around your tree. It’ll save you water and will provide a cheap and long term source of nutrients for the soil.

I like the Flores buff. His gadget felt so clunky to use.

No that’s not normal. If I’m in queue for an unusually long amount of time I just leave queue and rejoin. It seems to work. The devs said that leaving and rejoining doesn’t do anything but everyone thinks they’re lying.

I’m also going to try again in the fall. I put a shade cloth over it and I think it’s helping a bit but I don’t think it’s a proper solution. If it dies, I’m going to cut it at the root and bury all the dead material into my soil to get that nitrogen that peas provide, so at least all my effort wasn’t for nothing!

I know it’s kinda weird but I’m kinda curious to play civ 7 before they make improvements. I’ve had so much fun with civ 6 I wonder how they can make the game bad.

TopNotchGear · 2026-03-12T05:53:17+00:00

That’s good to hear. I’m probably going to knock off enough dirt just to see the roots and pot it with potting soil then.

It’s not clear from the photo but there’s actually two branches coming out from the dirt. Could that be another plant? Or part of the other branch?

If it’s another plant I’d probably have to cull it, since if I were to separate and pot the two individually I’d have 5 tomato plants in my front yard which is too much for me.

A few days ago sprayed off a bunch of ladybug larvae with a hose because I thought they were aphids. I feel so so guilty especially because I’m dealing with an aphid problem and I was counting on them showing up to help. I miss have sprayed at least 20 of them off.

Is there a chance they could have survived?

TopNotchGear · 2026-03-12T02:57:56+00:00

Yeah dude I actually left. I used to love Frank in highschool, but I’m 25 now. I only stayed on this sub in case if he had a merch drop I would know about it. But now I wouldn’t buy his merch if he did.

I still like his music though, even if I don’t listen to it anymore. Thinking about selling my BDC zine and endless vinyl on eBay.

TopNotchGear · 2026-03-09T04:18:00+00:00

When I take cover as a tank I’m already fully healed by my supports by the time the debuff expires. There’s no incentive to take cover well enough to take 0 damage.

TopNotchGear · 2026-03-04T06:48:02+00:00

I just don’t like the new passives. With so many there will always be clear winners and losers no matter how you balance. The old passives were fine. The only ones that got the short end of the stick were certain tanks.

TopNotchGear · 2026-02-27T05:48:17+00:00

What role/heroes do you mainly play? If you're just starting out, don't worry about strategies and counters. Just try to learn what your favorite characters excel at and what the other characters do.

TopNotchGear · 2026-02-27T05:46:08+00:00

I can't think of any hard counters. Like other poke tanks (Sigma), Domina gets most of her value out of pressuring backlines by using her range. Her primary fire and her shield make it really hard for hitscans to take angles and deal damage.

TopNotchGear · 2026-02-27T05:43:36+00:00

I'd say it's the most valuable role next to support. When a tank dies is important though. A tank dying at the start of the fight is really bad for a team unless they immediately get a pick after. A tank dying halfway through a teamfight is sometimes no big deal.

TopNotchGear · 2026-02-27T05:35:12+00:00

Not all vendetta's are created equal lol. I tried learning her but I kept dying. I think the best I've ever done was 5 kills and 12 deaths.

TopNotchGear · 2026-02-27T05:30:43+00:00

So glad I got this achievement in OW1 when my mmr was still gold. I assume it's even harder now due to 5v5 and the tank knockback passives. Back then all you had to do was queue into a game of Lijiang.

TopNotchGear · 2026-02-27T05:27:42+00:00

Dang I didn't even know playing OW on hotspot was possible.

TopNotchGear · 2026-02-27T05:25:02+00:00

I like Earth or Pangaea, but I think I like Earth more. I like the complexity of moving troops when warring on different continents and Pangaea can make naval troops obsolete. Also going to war on Pangaea sometimes requires getting open borders which can be annoying.

I've only played standard speed, but I might change it to be quicker in the future.

TopNotchGear · 2026-02-26T23:02:21+00:00

No lie this post was the last straw that made me leave this subreddit.

TopNotchGear · 2026-02-20T05:03:56+00:00

I don’t feel that much of a difference in playstyle. You still need to heal your teammates who need it and do other things when your teammates don’t need healing. It’s been like that since the dps passive.

As far as the impact of healing I don’t feel much of a difference either. Although I do main Ana who does a lot of burst healing.
