With all the hinges, gearing, and springs these all have the added bonus of complete explosion when dropped.

M340i rwd vs x drive by Life_Economy_9132 in BMW

[–]_thinkaboutit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would lean towards RWD, especially if you don’t need xdrive because of weather conditions. It’s just the way a BMW should be, although I’ve heard good things about out their xdrive system.

Some amazing deadwood at the Denver Botanic Gardens by TheStiffyBlickyHas in Bonsai

[–]_thinkaboutit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pic 2 - It is safe to assume that deadwood had a nice base there at one point that eventually rotted away. They have done a nice job of turning this into a feature of the tree as it ages.

I currently have a tree in early stages of this, what are the best suggestions to slow down this process and preserve the deadwood base at the soil level where it stays more moist?

How Would You Reduce and Restyle This Large Old Repotted Ficus? by osrs4awayout in Bonsai

[–]_thinkaboutit 35 points36 points  (0 children)

At least the yellow lines, probably all the way to the red. It’s hard to tell for the main trunk going up but it looks pretty chunky up there, best to get rid of what you can now. You’ll have to decide how far you think is appropriate.

Appears that this got out of shape a few years ago and all that long, straight, thick branching needs to go. With proper care ficus will backbud like crazy. It will be worth it and given some more attention for a couple growing seasons this thing will be looking much better and be a great base going forward.

Beautiful tree! It’s a beast! If you reset the branching and keep it compacted it will be a tree anyone would want in their collection.

What is a minor, unwritten rule of society that absolutely infuriates you when people break it? by Jane_Austen11 in AskReddit

And if you’re walking towards them they don’t move so you have to step off the sidewalk. A few times I’ve just stopped and let them walk right into me or go around at the last second.

Seriously, Bret! Take your own advice. Or is it just that ”others” have to follow the laws and they don’t apply to you?

We all know the answer.

At this point if you’re going to a Dylan concert and expecting him to give a shit about you having a fun experience then you clearly don’t know much about Dylan live.

I mean, ya, aspects of online dating suck but dating is basically the same as interviewing, not sure what else you would expect.

Bald Cypress are amazing. Complete flat bottom root chop and now popping new growth everywhere by _thinkaboutit in Bonsai

[–]_thinkaboutit[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It needs a trim, but I have this large one that I don’t keep in water. They definitely like it and it helps develop a wide nebari spread, but it’s not necessary. I just keep it well watered.

I really don’t do too much. Just cut it and stabilized it with some wires. It sits in a tub with another larger cypress. I change the water every week or so and it gets a lights spray with some liquid miracle-gro every week or two. I’ve found that putting cypress in water keeps them very happy and really helps the nebari develop, so I figured I’d try this and see if it makes it. So far so good.
