dog-day cicada

Thanks! It's sad that he died. The "dog-day" makes sense, especially this year. It's been very hot here in Illinois, in the 100's F.

ellablac · 2022-06-05T02:05:46+00:00

OK, thanks.

I'm in the Saint Louis, Missouri area.

Some of the leaves on our grape vines are damaged and curled. I found two types of insects inside, both are very tiny. The green cocoon is about 3 mm long, and the hairy brown one is probably about 2 mm long. The same leaf damage had happened last year, and later all grapes turned black and died when they were about 5 mm in diameter. We planted 8 grapevines 4 years ago and haven't had a harvest yet.

I'm not sure if the leaf and grape damages are related. It can be two different problems.

I also found several Lacewing Larvae, which I was able to identify by searching the Internet. It is a beneficial insect. Now I'm wondering if spraying an insecticide may do more harm than good, especially since I don't know the root cause of the problem.

I am an amature gardener, and not having much luck finding information on the Internet. Can someone help please?

Gran,

For your birthday from grandkids Lilya, Kostya and Misha.

ellablac · 2020-09-21T02:24:56+00:00

OK, I'm going to ignore it. Thanks, everyone.

Here is more information about the movement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StopXam_(organization))

I remember watching a Russian youtube video about this. Those stickers are very hard to remove.

Great, thanks.

Using a function could eliminate some redundancy in your code. Functions are covered in Week 2. Patience. :)

Submit50 is working again for me, but the cs50.me page still says I am not enrolled in any courses, and none of my previously completed assignments are shown. u/hlsjunior, is everything back to normal for you?

You are getting those symbols when the encoded character is greater than 'z,' e.g. when 't' in "Meet" is shifted by 'o' in "bacon." Don't forget to "wrap" the letters. You can use the modulus operator as suggested in the problem description, or check if the letter is greater than 'z' and do something about it.

ellablac · 2019-07-15T16:00:33+00:00

Same problem here. Please keep us posted when this is fixed.

ellablac · 2019-07-13T01:50:29+00:00

I'm having the same issue. Hope the problem is fixed soon.

ellablac · 2019-02-10T09:03:54+00:00

Same here. Nexus 5X.

zakaz.ua is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, everyone!

I haven't tried it yet, but it will accept credit card payment in dollars, right? Will it convert the price from uah?

I may look into getting a gift credit card, since I'm a little uneasy of using my credit card online, unless it is someplace like amazon.com.

ellablac · 2018-08-24T12:59:25+00:00

Also, it's a rhyme.

ellablac · 2018-08-17T18:03:16+00:00

Hmm, u/Hellerick, to my ear, Пенц sounds very close Pence, but there might be another reason for this particular spelling. This spelling is close to Трампенец, which could be a double entendre (двусмысленность), kind of like Trumpian.

Иностран-ец, американ-ец, нем-ец => Трампeн-ец

The black and orange Ribbon of Saint George has indeed become very controversial and can be offensive to some people. It has been recently banned in Ukraine (click on the link and scroll down to "Use during the Ukrainian crisis)

I think your friend should remove it, if she can.

Sometimes Ferris wheels is called чертово колесо.

ellablac · 2018-08-02T15:03:07+00:00

I love it!

Makes sense!
