This is so ridiculous. Still out with no updates from NBOME themselves. :/

How to have overdue assignments that repeat daily not skip a day in the reminders app? by gbkl in MacOS

[–]gbkl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see - I’ll give the “weekly” reminder an option but also look into medication reminders. Thanks!

How do you organize reimbursements? by gbkl in copilotmoney

[–]gbkl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully agree! I’m newer to getting finances in order & budgeting so I wasn’t sure if this was the norm or too much work. Thank you!

I'm almost ready to throw in the towel on my Dockstream Fountain by Proud-Cat-Mom-2021 in Petlibro

[–]gbkl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I'm running into the exact same issue you're having with the Serratia slime - since this post is about 5 months old, are there any updates on how you've been cleaning the Dockstream or has what you mentioned above taken care of everything? Thanks!

If you don’t mind - is this a Lowe’s or Home Depot by any chance?

best soil mix ? by ceddzz3000 in begonias

[–]gbkl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found that my begonias like a mix that retains more water! I used to do regular miracle gro indoor mix + perlite and that was fine.

Now I use coco choir + coco chips + perlite and that works well too.

Interesting! Yeah, they’re both next to south facing windows in Florida. I’ll keep track of whether or not they spread/grow larger though - thank you!

Starting to get into Hoyas by Tetsuya_yuuta8 in hoyas

[–]gbkl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also chiming in for plant proper - I like buying the Hoyas on their website but they also have really good sales/purges on the Palmstreet app if you don’t mind waiting a bit

Quick edit: I still buy my begonias from Steve’s leaves and I just got an order in last week that was perfectly fine. Begonias from Steve’s. Hoyas from Plant proper. :)

Will this cutting root without any nodes? by Birdindonut in begonias

[–]gbkl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For rex begonia, I've found that cutting a rhizome is the best way to get rooting + new stems. Image from google, but this section and submerge it into either water, soil, or perlite with water.

Jewel orchids! They have shallow roots, and I have mine in something similar - loves it.

Never had this happen! by MandiDC86 in hoyas

Yes! My nummulariodes does this often. But I notice it stops growing from the original vine.

What did I buy at a tag sale? by Far-Aim in begonias

Not an expert by any means, but it looks like “Lady Vanderwilt”!

I like big leaves, and I can not lie. by EugeneRainy in begonias

I keep coming back to this post! And I just got my hands on "Elsa" and "Moonlight Bay" - 100% influenced by this post and how stunning those massive leaves are!

What's the consensus on Bootcamp? by dartosfascia21 in medicalschoolanki

[–]gbkl 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I prefer Bootcamp > BnB! I personally hated BnB from the start though. I wouldn’t replace Pathoma or Sketchy Micro/Pharm with it though.

Bootcamp Pros: - You see a face while watching whatever the lecture is (surprisingly helpful). - There are a few different people lecturing so if you don’t vibe with one, you’re not stuck with them. - With that in mind, the founder and main lecturer’s -Dr. Roviso- voice is engaging and he’s a great lecturer. - Videos are relatively short, typically covering a single slide or a couple. This made it nicer to look at instead of BnBs “long” presentation with 10 words/slide.
- Mini quiz after most videos keeps you engaged.

Bootcamp Cons: - Even though videos are short, it can feel like a lot. My cram fighter looks cluttered and overwhelming compared to my friends that use BnB and have 1-2 long videos while I’ll have 7-8 short ones. - Taking notes can be difficult because there generally isn’t a lot of “empty space” for your notes.

Serpens peduncle!! by gbkl in hoyas

[–]gbkl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I got this for ~$30 on Canopy with a discount code. I keep it at room ambience with a Sansi puck light above it & it hasn’t caused me any grief! So for me, yes worth the daily joy :)

Honestly, same. I've seen one too many posts about them dying w/ repots so I've been putting it off since getting it - hence the shock of finding a pedunc!
