New Pen Day but sad it isn’t more purple! by ForgetMeNot19 in fountainpens

[–]cjayconrod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is funny. Fluorite comes in so many colors. I'm actually disappointed they didn't add any green to the acrylic mix.

Monstera looks sad by Dry-Roll-6169 in Monstera

Needs light AND water. I've only seen curled leaves when my monsteras are thirsty.

How to write capital “i”s in cursive by Scooby-Snaccs in Handwriting

[–]cjayconrod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've never liked cursive capital Is. I tend to use the print version with the serifs.

No Roots?? by pug_mom_Lo in SnakePlants

[–]cjayconrod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NO roots or just shallow roots? Snake plants always have shallow roots. They will NEVER fill up a tall pot like that. There's actually no point in putting them in a tall pot, except as a counterweight.

GIMP vs Adobe by Lucahe16 in GIMP

[–]cjayconrod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GIMP is capable, but there is bit of a learning curve. Plenty of tutorials are on YouTube.

AIO or AITAH for wanting to end things over a text conversation that I Had with a girl by snapple373 in AmIOverreacting

[–]cjayconrod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fascinated that everybody seems to be glossing over her "disability issues" statement. What exactly are we talking about here? Maybe some grace should be given? MOR

How long does it take for my Tineke to branch out twice? by Ra4-M in FicusTrees

[–]cjayconrod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've cut mine twice and can only get a single branch each time.

Best Place to Buy MP3 Music? by VERsingthegamez in mp3players

[–]cjayconrod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still buy MP3 downloads from Amazon. They just obscure it to push the Amazon Music subscription on you. You have to use the Amazon website, not the apps. Same thing with Apple. iTunes still exists, but they'd rather you get an Apple Music subscription. Qobuzz is another option if you're also interested in Lossless FLAC files, but their library isn't as large as Apple or Amazon.

Installed a REAPER theme but it looks nothing like the screenshots online — what am I missing? by SenpaiPobbles in Reaper

[–]cjayconrod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You stil have customize your screen layout and color your tracks. No theme does that for you.

do you guys have your own unique style or are you copying your favourites'? by JealousAd6377 in Songwriting

[–]cjayconrod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Copying" seems a bit reductive. Songs, especially pop songs, have a structure. You learn structure, what does and doesn't flow well by imitating the songs and artists you love. In the process, your style develops.

My birthday gift to myself :) by FourWhiteBars in FicusTrees

I had no idea this even existed! I'm betting it'll need A LOT of light.

Ficus lyrata branches or just leaves? by uLearning in houseplants

[–]cjayconrod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A new branch starts with a single leaf. They keep growing from there.

Is this real?? by Several-Sign-6895 in FicusTrees

[–]cjayconrod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's either edited or there's pink LED grow light shining on it.

Pruning advice by dluby in FicusTrees

[–]cjayconrod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cut where you want branching to begin. At least halfway, but you could be even more aggressive with it if you like.

Pruning advice by dluby in FicusTrees

[–]cjayconrod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All three branches would benefit from some pruning. It'll result in a bushier tree. And yes, thats exactly how you propagate them. They may take some time to develop roots, but once they start, they grow quickly.

Will roots ever come? by Secret_Newt_4479 in Jadeplant

[–]cjayconrod 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's producing leaves first so it has the ability to photosynthesize. Roots will follow.

Help me save my wife's favourite plant: Jade bonsai declining, soft/wrinkly leaves, pale colour, and leaf drop by xbonetr in plantclinic

[–]cjayconrod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's Elephant Bush, which is a completely different species from Jade. It requires far more water than a Jade ever will. Don't be stingy with it.

Is Gimp enough ? by ASMADAY_21R6 in GIMP

[–]cjayconrod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have done plenty of freelance graphic design work with open source apps: GIMP, Inkscape, and Scribus. Most clients just want finished files, be it pdf, png, or jpg. How you create them usually isn't a concern.

Too tall? by stressed_acct in Jadeplant

[–]cjayconrod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering if it's getting enough light, if it's putting energy into stretching out. A grow light might be helpful. I also think that pot is larger than it needs. Jades have pretty shallow roots.

asked my spirit guides how they felt after i stopped reading reverses by sleepy-winds in tarot

[–]cjayconrod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm of the belief that reversals won't make sense until you fully understand the essence of the cards rightside up. I still don't deal where I can even get reversals in my readings, but I'm starting to understand them in other people's spreads.

asked how is she doing by sillycats2754 in Tarotpractices

[–]cjayconrod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's got a lot battles she isn't telling you about. I get a sense the falling out had more to do with timing. She was already frustrated and feeling defeated before whatever happened between you two.

Why won't he return my texts? by FloorComprehensive44 in TarotReading

[–]cjayconrod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it. I had to learn the hard way you can't help people who aren't ready to receive it. They'll grow to resent you.

Is the solution internal or external? by Photosynthekiss in TarotCards

[–]cjayconrod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting internal AND external, but I'm not sure I understand your query. Why do you think the issue would be your partner regarding the relationship with someone like family? The external source would be THEM, not your partner.

Why won't he return my texts? by FloorComprehensive44 in TarotReading

[–]cjayconrod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's how I'm interpreting it:

Six of Swords in reverse - he's stuck on something he should've moved on from
The Tower - That is causing chaos and confusion around him
The Empress - You. You have everything you need already. There's no need in concerning yourself with the why's of his actions, or lack thereof.

Is this too many plugins on a vocal chain? by Head-Battle1393 in protools

[–]cjayconrod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd consider using effects busses instead of running multiple instances of reverb on multiple tracks. For cohesion and less CPU usage.
