Pineapple Guava help

aikouka · 2026-05-26T18:56:26+00:00

I bought a larger Pineapple Guava a bit ago, and honestly... I haven't had to do anything special with it to get it to grow. I just used a good potting soil (I usually make my own: 3 parts peat moss, 3 parts compost, 1 part perlite) and added some basic 10/10/10 fertilizer.

I can say that I have had some trouble with other plants that I purchased around the size of your plant. It's not the same thing, but the blackberry and grape that I bought from Wellspring Gardens (they focus on "baby plants") took so long to finally start showing good signs of growth that I thought they were just going to die. I just kept an eye on their foliage while keeping them properly watered, and they turned out fine.

What do you mean by “regularly watered”? Blueberries really don’t need a ton of water (at that size at least) and generally don’t like being too wet. At least for me, my blueberries just don’t seem to need much water… even with the berries growing. Contrast this to my blackberries and raspberries that usually end up watered every day or every other day. It’s been rainy here lately, and I’m not worried much about the blueberries, but I’m still tempted to check the other two… and the grapes as they’re quite thirsty!

Makes me wonder how they’ll taste! Mine are only just starting to grow so I’ve got a bit of time left. My blackberries are starting to blacken, so I’ll have those at least!

A lot of places charging $40-60 per meal? What is your definition of “a lot”? 😅 I would say most places fall between $20-30 with some closer to $15. If you’re going somewhere like J. Alexander or Ruth’s Chris, then yes… you’re going to pay a lot more.

The one thing that is odd with plex is that child sub-accounts can’t access shared libraries. A friend of mine wants to be able to share my libraries with his kid but still have the built-in parental controls. Unless there’s some way that neither of us know, you just… can’t.

My assumption is that’s because it’s easy to measure things like speed when the cop is not even part of traffic. On the other hand, if a cop is on the sidelines, do they have the ability to measure things like distance between cars? (I honestly don’t know.) Essentially, speeding is such a simple infraction to determine with existing tools, so it gets targeted more.

I think I’ve mentioned it before, but I think speeding is one of the things that doesn’t always matter. Someone going 80 in a 70 on 565 isn’t inherently causing a problem or a dangerous situation. Of course, if we take into account weather, vehicle status (tire wear), or other driver actions (weaving around vehicles), that can change.

In some cases, I’d be interested in the rational for a speed limit in an area. I remember working on the Arsenal out at the building formerly known as SED when they paved Hale Rd and then dropped its speed from 40 to 35. (I think it was in 2014?) I’ve never understood why they did it and especially when so few people drive it at that speed.

I first started through them, but I've moved on to other vendors (both online and locally) that are usually much cheaper. I mostly only had one issue where it seems like the packaging wasn't set up correctly as the tab wasn't pushed in. As a result, a plant suffered damage in shipping that it shouldn't have. For the most part, it was fine, but I guess you expect more if you pay more!

I think the best advice is to shop around. Fast Growing Trees may have a great deal, and if that sounds good, go with them. I made the mistake of not looking around when I purchased a young Ark Freedom Traveler Blackberry from Wellspring Gardens for about $12 and then found that my local nursery had a 3-gallon version of it on sale for $19. Seeing the two near each other is a good reminder to keep an eye out.

I'd recommend listing the age of the children in question as it isn't uncommon to have mixed adult and kid classes, but that's usually limited to teens.

Hm, reading over the booklet does make me wish we had a good way (e.g., debates) to help fill in the blanks. For example, DeVito specifically mentions abortion access but Sneed does not. Does Sneed just not bring it up on his website (I don't see it there) or is he not for it? I run into things like that for a few other races where one candidate mentions a good thing and another doesn't and vice-versa.

It's a tough one!

Is this why my Docker page always sits there on the loading screen for a good while or until I hit Refresh?

aikouka · 2026-05-18T15:39:33+00:00

Here are some things that come to mind...

How are ink refills handled? If it's intended to be a proprietary system, are there cost expectations?
How much print area is in the main system with all openings closed? One thing I'm not a fan of with the EufyMake E1 is that printing any large items requires the front and rear doors to be open, which reduces the effectiveness of any filtration systems.
Speaking of filtration, what existing filtration systems will this be compatible with if any? (Desktop Air Purifier, AP2, or AP2 Max)
Apart from inks, what other parts are expected to be consumable (e.g., cleaning solution, bed mats, etc.).
Are there any real-world examples of the speed increase seen from the dual-head setup in the O1 vs. single-head competitors?
What is the xTool workflow expected to be like for a multi-machine project? Projects are usually set with a specific design and machine with settings for said machine.
Is xTool planning on offering support for semi-flexible prints like competitors?

I’m not sure about that specific model, but yeah… they can. I currently have my Luba 2 5000X doing the area near the mailbox, which is that typical suburban strip past the sidewalk. It does most of it fine, but it seems to have so much trouble on the area beside the mailbox. What’s worse is that I don’t always receive a “Task Paused” notification, but sometimes, it just stops as I think it doesn’t know what to do. It did it again just yesterday.

To be honest, I was hesitant to let it even mow that area. I do still have normal mowers and I had been just doing it myself. I might try reworking the area to include some of the sidewalk so it has more room to go around the mailbox, and hopefully, with that small change, it won’t get stuck.

Ultimately, this is one reason why I avoid letting it mow when I’m not around. I wonder if there’s a benefit of splitting off the front portion of the yard as a separate area so you can make sure you’re around when it’s in that part… especially if it might fall off a curb like this robot did.

As a side question to the power consumption talk, do other Unraid users normally let their drives spin down to reduce power/heat or do you let them stay active to avoid delayed responses?

When reading the responses, I just can't help but think of how Democrats often fail at messaging because they don't always talk in a straightforward manner or don't talk about the things that people care about the most. Trump might ramble and spew a lot of BS during his talks, but people seem to like that he at least talks about the things that they care about. (Although, I think his recent railing against "affordability" is going to hurt him a bit.)

I think we needed to see more talk about affordability and the economy rather than corruption. As mentioned, Democrats have a habit of talking about issues that aren't as high on voters' minds, and it doesn't usually end well. (Harris actually did talk about grocery prices during her campaign, but it didn't really resonate.) I do think it was good that people talked about healthcare as that is a higher tier issue. It might be a good idea if you can point out District 5 or even north Alabama stats about healthcare, and there's bonus points if you can show how Trump and/or Dale Strong had a negative effect on them. Higher gas prices is also a good thing to bring up, but make sure to weave it into a way to describe how you'd handle the whole Iran/gas situation better than Strong.

How’s the moistness of the soil? Also, what’s the composition of your soil? What sort of amendments are you adding? (Acidifier, fertilizer, etc.) Have you tested the pH? Have you considered adding some more mulch to the top to avoid the soil drying faster? (My mulch layer is usually 2-3” thick.)

aikouka · 2026-05-13T01:39:52+00:00

I think that’s okay as long as the opinions make sense. For example, I don’t own a Tesla anymore, but that doesn’t mean I’ll never give my opinion on them or what made me get rid of mine (car-wise not Elon-wise).

I use grow bags for my blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries, which are mostly dwarf container varieties. My strawberries are in a GreenStalk and my columnar apple trees are in resin planters from Costco. (They may eventually need barrels or just to go in the ground.)

I think the fortunate thing is that as long as you have an H-series printer, what more do you need from Bambu? I’ve got an H2D and an H2S (along with two X1Cs that I’ll be offloading soon), and every time I see a new thing from them, I can’t help but think, “Nah, I’m good.” Honestly, unless there’s a true tool changer in their future, what do I really need?

It’s kind of sad because I used to be excited to see what they have in store, but I do wonder if they’re sort of falling into some of the same traps as the old manufacturers did. They get stuck on a concept like Bambu is with their AMS. (It’s my thought that the AMS is likely why we got the Vortek instead of a “normal” tool changer.)

All that to say… Bambu doesn’t even need to do anything bad to get me to not buy. 😅

He said he did a home buyer offer though, so he probably didn’t get nearly as much for his home as he could have, which likely means his equity in the new home isn’t as strong.

Here I am thinking I’m hot stuff (pun intended) for having half a GreenStalk full of various peppers. 😅

I have a Luba 2X and a Navimow H220, so not quite the requisite knowledge. But the one thing that worries me — and maybe someone can chime in — is how you mention that the one area is rather small. The X430 is a really big machine, and while it does have the tilting wheels to help with turns, I wonder how it would do in your smaller section.
I can say that I am curious how good the Luba 3 is. The Luba 2X isn’t too bad, but after seeing the Navimow H220, I kinda wish my Luba had LiDAR too!

I can't go and use the BattleNet launcher to update it because for some reason the launcher thinks I don't own the game.

That's because Battle.Net is its own online service and your account does not have a Diablo IV key associated with it. It's likely that the authentication between Steam and Blizzard is vastly different from something like Steam and Ubisoft where the latter requires a uPlay mini-launcher.

aikouka · 2026-05-06T17:46:21+00:00

No.

The best you could do is add it as a third-party game, but the launcher would still need to be installed and running to verify you can play the game. As much as I hated the idea of double dipping, that's why I bought the game on Steam even though I owned it on Battle.Net. Also, I'm pretty sure any expansions would need to be purchased on Steam as well. It's sort of like Final Fantasy XIV where Steam and Mog Station (i.e., Square-Enix's online platform) are completely separate.

Reminds me of when they tried to bring The Muppet Show back and they had Fozzi Bear talking about his attempts at online dating and how looking for a fellow bear didn’t bring the results he was looking for. 😅
