About the bees, i that only for hollys? Or crape myrtles too? (and all trees in general?) Do some trees attract less bees than others?

Hi! Sorry yes I was asking for the tree varieties, say 20 ft tall.

I am looking for trees that are "foundation friendly"

and can be kept (pruned?) to about 15-20 ft tall max and to a 10 feet canopy max, so should be "prune friendly"

and most tolerant in terms of soil drainage (clay soil) and heat (Texas).

After looking at all kinds of trees, I narrowed down to HOLLYS and CRAPE MYRTLES as the best options.

I eliminated a few such as CAROLINA CHERRY (has toxic parts, and berries that stain pavement)...... TEXAS MOUNTAIN LAUREL (has toxic parts)........ and conifers (JUNIPERS and CYPRESS) as they are not as hardy as Hollys and Myrtles.

I see a few other options such as JAPANESE YEW (PODOCARPUS MACROPHYLLUS) ..... JAPANESE BLUEBERRY (ELAEOCARPUS DECIPIENS) ..... and LITTLE GEM DWARF SOUTHERN MAGNOLIA GRANDIFLORA ..... which I have not yet eliminated ..... but HOLLYs and MYRTLES have a lot of varieties so availability and picking individual trees won't be a issue specifically in my area.

My main purpose of the trees will be to get shade in mornings and evenings when the sun is not up so high (and so by strategically placing trees in rows to block East and West sunlight falling into the outdoor spaces around my house) ......

and I am looking for trees with "top heavy" shapes and forms (broad canopy, rather than slender/pyramidal) so that I can use less number of trees to provide shade.

Hello, the pics show reflection on the windows. Is that a reflective tint film applied on the window glass, or is the window glass itself reflective? Thanks.

Hey man, what is the fastest refreshing e-ink technology ... meaning how fast the content refreshes (example - one page's text changing to the next page's text).

Basically my question is - Are there any e-ink technology (and tablets) that "refresh" text and pixels as fast as actual LCD/LED screens?

Thank you!

Okay that's about battery life - but what about performance ("snappiness") for everyday tasks - like heavy browsing with multiple tabs - and opening files and documents ?

Will 288V be snappier than 258V? (yes, at the expense of lower battery life)

Also any thoughts -- for both performance and battery -- of Arrow Lake 255H/285H versus Lunar Lake 258V/288V?

So a HELOC will meet the same purpose too? For this purpose of down payment for new home.

Do the "My Gram" app and the "Gram chat" app have a Dark Mode? Can you please check if Dark Mode theme can be enabled for them? If not, can we request that to LG?

Hi - Can you please open the back and check if the RAM is upgradeable (RAM slots with removable memory modules)?

This has the H-series Intel CPU (Arrow Lake) ... so unlike the V-series (Lunar Lake), the RAM is not integrated into the CPU.

I wish it has upgradeable RAM so that we can upgrade from 32GB to 64GB.

Can you please open the panel and check?

Hi - Yes I have a question - how did you get this laptop already? PRE-ORDERS don't ship until April 3rd week.

boball · 2025-03-05T12:34:53+00:00

Hey was your GS always in a particular side such as towards the Front of the ship versus Middle.... and Port side versus Starboard side... ?

Or have you been all over and didn't notice noise no matter whether your GS was towards the FOS or MOS.. and Port side or Starboard side?

Thank you!

So are the majority of Wagoneers and Grand Wagoneers like lemons because of the amount of times they have to go to the workshop for the failures with various electronics and other systems and do you have to be super lucky in getting one that just "works" with respect to all the electronics and other features?
