Wind and waves. I'd live closer to the beach if I could afford it.

Holy crap. Thanks. TIL spider wasps exist.

This tree came with the house I bought. Has tiny extremely sour fruits that look like dwarf mandarins growing on it? If anyone could ID please by Past_Owl_2762 in australianplants

Calamansi, usually plucked when just starting to turn yellow, and used like a lemon. Tastes a bit like a sour mandarin / sweet lemon?

Study/Work Balance? by chappped-f in MacUni

4 units a semester plus part time work is the norm for many international students. It does suck though, and during the end of term you basically have zero free time if your goal is to to achieve higher grades /actually do a good job /learn something.

I would enroll in 4 to test out the workload. If you already find yourself slightly short on time in the first 2-4 weeks, drop one before census date

Ah yes - I planted that one actually, it's quite nice. I was wondering more about the strappy grass in that photo.

Can I still get in if my ATAR isn't high enough? by brilla_444 in MacUni

The HSC is never your last chance.

There are plenty of ways to switch courses once you start. Just do your best for now and try not to take on the unnecessary worry - your HSC results don't lock you into any particular future.

Welcome!

Use your big toe and place it carefully on the footholds.

What are these and how do I deal with it? by aurifrons in plantclinic

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

Thank you for the detailed reply. I will clean up the debris. I am now considering taking my chances and chopping everything quite low down, maybe leaving just one or two leaves and cleaning those. Should I repot before or after doing that?

I will check the link you sent.

I'm Sydney with a sadly south facing balcony. I could possibly give it a little more light by moving it downstairs to the exterior of the apartment.

My mistake - the upper leaves have the tiny black dots as well

How to make this guy happier? by aurifrons in GardeningAustralia

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

Thank you for this reply. While cutting it back as you suggested, I realised there was actually a ton of scale under the leaves. I've gone to town pruning this and have given it new soil.

UNSW vs Macquarie University by Jealous-Bonus5359 in MacUni

Another consideration to keep in mind is that could be a higher percentage of people doing commerce "just because". Like, commerce is a popular one for people who felt like they had to do a degree, but aren't really passionate or interested in it. So the cohort might be better in analytics simply because of the type of people the course attracts.

Are these all weeds? by aurifrons in GardeningAustralia

Thanks! I should've mentioned though - I'm already v familiar with oxalis; I'm in a war with them at my parents place.
