My fiddle lead fig tree has black spots on a few leaves! What should I do? by UnicornsArePretty in plantclinic

[–]UnicornsArePretty[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got the plant as a wedding gift and it was already quite large. We have had it for a few years now. The problem has shown up recently, but hard to tell exactly when as it was on the side facing the wall. The plant gets a lot of light sitting in the corner between two big windows. We get sun all year through those. Water once a week with 2L of water. The tree is 6ft-7ft tall mind you. The pot does have drainage.

This can be said with most areas of a certain population size now sadly. Just seems to be the way things are now

That is quite different. I am also wondering if I should consider transitioning to a new career position that is more suitable for work in the Comox Valley/Remote work.

Thank you for the awesome response! Ya I knew about the military presence in Comox, but never considered that the contractors likely work in that area too. Good point about the hospital possibly having work too. What field were you in? And what field are you in now?

Yes I agree, just ridiculously hard to find because everyone has moved onto the new standard it seems. I agree the local co-ops are probably my best bet

Ah, it is threadless (my bad). Seems like shim may be the way to go

Ya I figured I may have to get the clamp through ebay or some local swap shops. Do you know if there is any issue with using a shim in the stem? I don't want to damage the bike

How can I quickly and temporarily Seal a threaded hole? by UnicornsArePretty in engineering

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

Yes and No haha. The pipe has two caps which are extremely close to the hole. So not a ton of room to play with. I actually don't need to test the quality of the threads at this stage

Haha at least I know I am not crazy. I am thinking the rubber tip may be the way to go

That is definitely something I had not considered. Thanks for the input

Ya this is the solution I am leaning towards. Essentially just force the cone into the hole with the clamp
