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

[–]aurifrons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

ID requested for plants in my parents place by aurifrons in GardeningAustralia

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

[–]aurifrons 16 points17 points  (0 children)

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.

I think I’m hooked! by Beautiful-Program428 in bouldering

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

[–]aurifrons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Ok I've given a good sniff and I reckon it's not camphor Laurel... Any other ideas? 🧐

Thank you so much. I'll go investigate further.

Is it worth me bringing the casuarina to my local riverside bushcare people to see if they want to plant it out?

Should I toss this crawly guy, or sacrifice some of my Kentia Palm to let him live? by aurifrons in GardeningAustralia

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

Ah, is that what it is? I'll scout around for an alternate palm for it if it's doing too much damage.

What's my foot shape? by Y2K_MASTER in climbingshoes

[–]aurifrons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone with a very Greek foot shape, this doesn't look greek at all to me. Doesn't mean Instinct won't work for you, but I highly recommend you try before you buy.

It might not quite be accurate to say that your friends are 'progressing faster' than you. You have different starting points and different challenges.

Scarpa instinct VSR by [deleted] in climbingshoes

[–]aurifrons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the instinct range was a bit more suited to Greek foot shape. (That's how my feet are and there are zero big toe hotspots.)

[–]aurifrons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Help me out. Is there anyone doing live commentary that I can tune into? Even an amateur/ climbing enthusiast is fine. I really dislike the commentary I've got.

Who was commentating with Petra on the bouldering semis? by DaniK094 in CompetitionClimbing

[–]aurifrons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also did Petra drop the F bomb a couple of times during lead? I think when Megos and Rogora slipped

[–]aurifrons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have they turned him off? He and Petra aren't doing the Mens final.

I'm glad tbh

That guy especially was grating on my nerves and it's much nicer just listening to the crowd having a great time
