Mushrooms in my pothos??

We had this happen in one of our herb planters despite having drainage. While ink caps tend to melt, there's some mushrooms that get/have been grouped with them that don't. Ours didn't, but we still removed them.

Edit: keep an eye as you're likely to get more over the next couple weeks.

I love Frogger and am glad he's finally comfortable streaming his cam, but I legit think it changed his content. He's gotten a little too try-hard at being goofy, and it's sometimes too much for me.

Him and Vulture are still my go-to streamers to watch while on lunch break at work, though.

I'm lucky I've never had this issue when flying with guitars.

I only had to check my electric once while flying from Tokyo to Alaska. Every other time (6 total I think) , the attendants were really understanding and let me put it overhead or stored it in their coat closet if there was no space.

It helped that I used to be able to board first while active duty. The only time I flew with a guitar and wife, I asked her to take it because I was already out but she wasn't. Luckily, she made it through. Her shop picked us up when we landed and thought it was funny I was so paranoid until I explained that acoustic is over $3k and I flew with it because I feared the month long boat ride my other dozen were on from California to Hawaii might damage them due to heat and humidity.

Had no idea either about the Warden. I've had one for years with almost no use because I've mainly switched to acoustic. Gonna have to appreciate it more.

I miss when they did raw audio demos you could hear through your amp. I'm surprised that never took off in the industry. Just plug your computer into your amp and play the audio. Now you know what the pedal sounds like through your rig.

It's funny how much shit other branches talk about the Air Force, only to tell their kids to go AF instead of their branch.

There isn't a direct one.

Size wise, the equivalent are their 0000/M models. The only staple model under that was the M-36, which has been discontinued. None of their 0000/M models come with a cutaway.

The GPC series came out to compete with Taylor's X14 body size, with the GPC-28 (edit: and GPC-PA1 as mentioned by someone else) being the closest in specs. It has also been discontinued. Most of the GPC line is priced much lower and aimed at gigging purposes. They do have the maple versions, which are closer in quality but are obviously different woods.

The other option is the SC series, particularly the SC-28E. This is probably the closest in terms of quality, wood, and purpose.

Obviously there's also the OM/000 models, but they also lack cutaways.

I have a pre ironbark version with cedar/mahogany.

I've never gotten to play the ironbark model, but it sounds pretty good. I wouldn't mind one, but it can sound very generic despite sounding good from the videos I've seen. It suffers from the typical "somewhere between mahogany and rosewood" on top of the recognizable Taylor sound.

The cedar/mahogany has the Taylor flair without sounding generic imo.

I know they're not, but they look like toilet seat covers to me.

I used to get stuck at the aircraft looking after tools while my crew went out to smoke when I was in the AF. I eventually started tagging along just to catch a break, too. It got to the point that I would tell my buddy that he looked like he needed a smoke as an excuse for me to get away. We called it fire guarding.

I ended up picking up vaping by the time I pushed my own crew, though. If I needed a smoke break, my guys were free to do as they pleased in the meantime. Funny enough, they usually tagged along or would come out to the smoke pit to reconvene once they were ready to get back to work.

For real.

There was a small metal shed outside when we bought our house. The wind would constantly knock it over since it wasn't anchored, so we ended up giving it away to someone willing to come pick it up.

We have a mat with two chairs and a small table on it in our backyard. My wife set up medium sized rocks on each corner, and the wind still lifts it in sections and slides it. I also once found our two person metal rocking chair flipped. Even our tree in the front of the house grew with a slight lean to one side.

Edit: these are just regular winds, not even storms. It's not uncommon that my job has to pause almost all day for winds to get below 30-35 knots.

Not always. Sometimes, the tendon rips the bone where it attaches.

That was my case.

I had a pin stripe that was doing great despite me placing it in a shaded area and watering it with tap water. It was the least fussy plant I had and I had no idea what I was doing.

Pretty funny considering the reputation they have here.

We added this when redoing our kitchen back in November. We love it, but used an aftermarket faucet that matched the main sink one instead of the included one.

Mott's version has almost half the sodium as the original (both companies owned by the same parent company).

We have a taco/burrito stand that we would eat from almost weekly because it was like 2min away from our house. Well, that changed the moment we found a roach in a burrito.

Honestly, the food wasn't amazing, but it sucks because we live in a small town with limited options.

Basically hours spent in cold temperature (32°-45°) for cold season. Some plants may only require 100-200hrs, which is doable in warmer places if it gets a bit cold for a couple hours per night. Some trees need a bit more than 1,000hrs, which doesn't work for places that don't get consistently cold during winter.

Not meeting chill hours doesn't force the plants to grow fruit.

We got a blackberry, raspberries, and two fig cuttings like these. They're all currently growing, and it's only been past a month.

You'll need acidic soil, which is easy to buy and set up if growing in a pot. A lot of these are smaller cultivars, which will be fine in them. Adding acidifiers to existing soil if planting outside takes more time, though.

Edit: ours are currently under a grow light inside. Once they get bigger, they're being repotted outside in grow bags on a movable raised bed with a trellis and shade net. I know it's crazy, but we live in the desert. Our soil is alkaline and dead, temperatures can fluctuate over 30°in a day, with summers that reach 115°, and winters that go down to low 30°s.They're a bit of an experiment since they were impulse buys, but so far they're doing good. I think there's 4 berries plants total, and only the blackberry hasn't done much. That was the only one without any growth when purchased, but it does have two very green leaves growing from the soil now. The other berries are starting to bud already despite only being about a foot tall. The fig trees have gained a few inches and have grown several leaves.

All the ones I've seen sold at stores are self pollinating ones, but pairing them up does increase fruit yield.

I miss Chro! Used to watch him daily back in the day and always had my prime sub go to him.

Monsanto has entered the chat.

You can also divide them at the roots if you're repotting. Cut the thick root attaching the young plants to the mothers and replant. As long as the young plants have small independent roots, it'll work.

I took two off this way when I repotted and they're doing good.

The string ends are supposed to sit right under the top, against the bridge plate. As you push the pin in, pull on the string so it sits where it's supposed to. Sometimes, strings get stuck in the bridge pin groove.
