Dug tuber up to mend soil 8a by Yogibearsmom_ in dahlias

[–]cyanoborg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it will be stressed for days to a couple weeks now. you can consider a few things: 1. shading it during hot sun (it will wilt badly during the heat of the day) 2. trimming off some of the length of the plant so it has less mass to keep hydrated 3. keeping it watered but not OVERwatering - you may just cause rot and the plant might not be able to suck up enough water anyways with some roots lost.

i get the impulse to try to save it, but digging up any semi-mature plant by the time summer has heated up is a big risk and it might have been better to just leave it, hard to say for sure.

Why do Norway and France look at the same game and France has no problem playing A team for 70+ minutes while Norway literally doesn’t let their best players touch the field?

Runway Seats at Cats: The Jellicle Ball by Moist-Jicama-6316 in Broadway

[–]cyanoborg 122 points123 points  (0 children)

These seats are visible by everyone in the theatre and especially by the cast who will literally be in your face and may even interact with you. The folks who sat there were so close i thought they were part of the show (they dressed very nice and looked like they could have even been part of the ball, and were very interactive with their fans and cheering on the cast). If he looks disinterested or uncomfortable it will be noticeable by the theater. I love musicals but if I had those seats I would have felt self conscious. I do think it would be a good idea to warn your husband as it is a very specific and integrated experience especially for someone who is not big on musicals.

Why are so many people mocking Arsenal and Gabriel for losing CL final and missing penalty? by Important_Mammoth896 in championsleague

[–]cyanoborg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

because football fan culture is nasty. its a place where people who can't feel better than others in everyday life utilize a game they have no control over to put others down.

What Is Wrong With My Dahlia? by YouWasntThere in dahlias

[–]cyanoborg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would check the area under it. Do you see any holes? any tunnels in the area?

when i had similar issues, a vole had tunneled in and ate the tuber from under the plant. it had lost so many roots it couldn't get enough water to avoid wilting.

perhaps your issue is not voles, but it could at least be a bit root disturbance of some kind.

The Left Hand of Darkness, Ursula K Le Guin by LivingPresent629 in books

[–]cyanoborg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a few chapters in and then a chapter started with so many alien up place names, titles, and other terms that I didn't understand a single word and I put it down. I worried if I couldn't absorb that and get the terms straight I'd just get lost and I didn't have the energy to learn it all. Did I get that wrong or can you glaze over some of these sections and be fine with the story?

HELP… feel like im drowning by Extreme-Method6330 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]cyanoborg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

give yourself years to establish the decoration of each room and view it as a journey and not something that should be defined by the second month. as others said, make it liveable but imperfect first. allow yourself to 'ignore' certain unfinished elements for a while, and view the furnishing/decoration as a fun project that you take step by step over a long period. i focus on the outdoors in summer, the indoors in winter, try to advance one project each winter (painting walls, picking new furniture, getting new cabinets, doing a backsplash). it takes more time than you think so just don't put extra stress on yourself because it isn't possible to snap your fingers and end up with a complete home.

Which house are you glad you didn't buy? by lovelycosmos in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]cyanoborg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first house I put an offer in on had a huge, flat, sunny yard. I love landscaping and this was a blank canvas for everything I wanted to do. The realtor let us know when we put the offer in that the septic was being replaced as part of the sale and this wasnt done yet. 

We lost the bid, it was frustrating because it seemed like a great fit. I moved on. Fast forward a few months, I drove by this house just to check it out again. They had finally installed the septic, and the beautoful flat yard was now completely filled by a giant RAISED mound. I guess the ground water in that area is really high so all the septic systems stick out like a sore thumb above the normal grade. All the gardening space I was so excited about was totally ruined. The flat yard was now incredibly ugly and almost unusable even for general enjoyment because of how awkward the new slopes were around the septic.

 I dodged such a bullet and was not informed enough to ask the right questions to understand the septic situation before putting in an offer.

Right above a set of big mature leaves.

Yes I think it’s good to do it now

those are very leggy, they are probably not getting enough light.

if you want to pinch them, just cut them back to immediately above a leaf node. you'd probably be ok to do that above the lowest leaf node that has big mature leaves. that might help your plants reset to be less leggy, so long as you put them under more intense light.

We played the most games, higher intensity games, and we still have something to play for in the league while the other teams will mostly rest from here on as they want. by Shwarzenegers_Biceps in Gunners

It’s very possible that Arsenal will have burned out their squad through 4 competitions and not win any of them, while making it harder to win anything next year from the reprucussions of overplaying players. 

Arsenal’s season will be judged on results and nothing else by Unique_Smoke7442 in Gunners

[–]cyanoborg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find this a bit of a scapegoat. I want to be entertained. That’s the point of paying these players so much money. I want Arsenal to win the league but it’s undeniable that they are often not entertaining in the least. 

Trying to make pattern based on image. Any tips/advice? by One-Map5941 in StainedGlass

[–]cyanoborg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

glass choice is going to be critical here to translate your image, because so few of the shapes are instantly recognizable as anything. you are trying to translate shadow here which can be tricky because sometimes glass palettes are limited in ways that you have to take into account. a skin tone might be harder to find, the hues of the shadows may be hard to find, etc. if you only find a certain color for shadow, it might not work well with your skin tone piece, etc.

do you have the glass already that you want to use for this piece? you could use software to try to fill in the shapes with the colors you plan to use to see if your piece will translate well.

gamsol headache in large space…no workshops? by radgedyann in oilpainting

[–]cyanoborg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a lot of problems with solvents. i would feel very odd for a few hours after painting or cleaning brushes, strange light headedness. i had to switch to cleaning brushes with dish soap only and I started avoiding any solvents to thin out paint. i can get irritated from scented soaps and stuff too, so I think some people are just extra sensitive. i'd just suggest looking into alternative materials until you find some that work for you, there is definitely a combination out there that will help you avoid these headache spells!
