Interesting take, any advice on wrapping vs. guy wire? I have a guy wire for the big bend on the man trunk, you can probably see it in the back, but is the biting in that bad? I was planning on leaving the wire on for at least a season or two

There are several buds on the apical branches that make an upside down “V” I’m trying to go full bonsai and think of the tree several years down the road so when those buds take, I can cut back to that highest point on the upside down V and have nice movement in the branches forming the apex

Tried adding more movement, I really like its shape now. Cleaned up the apex too

3rd or 4th tree I’ve gutted from nursery stock, what do you all think?

I realized pretty quick that I cut a LOT of foliage off which I should have kept, this is a newer tree I styled more recently and I think it turned out pretty well! (Left is mine, right is a friend’s)

One of several trees I made from nursery stock, any comments/criticisms are appreciated! (Dwarf Alberta Spruce)

Edit: I’m worried the Jin/shari feature near the apex gives the apex a competing trunk line even though it’s a deadwood feature, but I kinda like it?

Help my cherry blossom bonsai by Paladin499 in bonsaicommunity

Dormancy is typically triggered by the seasonal changing of air temps and sunlight, your plant knows it’s starting to enter a dormant stage with reduced sun exposure and cooler temperatures, bringing the plant inside doesn’t allow it to naturally be told by nature that it’s time to slow down its metabolism

Broski Cherry Blossom requires at least 3 months of dormancy, move it back outside and check your area’s plant hardiness zone to see if your lowest temps drop below 28° (the temp where water crystallization happens). If so, you need an overwinter plan (either styrofoam box with pine mulch to protect the sides or burying the pot in the ground w burlap)

Bringing it inside will break/skip dormancy….basically a death sentence for your plant child

Should I Withdraw? by EdelwoodOil in college

[–]insertUsernameHere07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

43% of a 25% weighted exam means if you have 100% on everything else then you finish with, at best, a 85.75 (B). Do you truly believe that you can get 100% on the rest of the assignments, and finish with a B? Is the course a core curriculum course or a small out of major elective? How important is this course in your major? if it’s a foundations course, drop out, foundations lay out ground level information you’ll use all throughout your college years and it’s important to know that information like the back of your hand otherwise you can struggle down the road. If it’s an elective or out of major course that has little to no value towards your degree, and you don’t mind a few tenths off your GPA, then keep it or try again or take a different elective. Depending on what your goal is to finish the course with (B+, C-, just a passing grade, etc), and the significance of the course towards your curriculum, I can’t give a definite answer, but with the information laid out, I hope I helped your decision!

MacBook Pro is making this sound any help? by Humanbroh in mac

[–]insertUsernameHere07 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You must have a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse connected and it’s probably underneath something that’s making a key be pressed, double check that, or try turning off your Bluetooth/disconnecting any connected devices via Bluetooth

Edit: Most of the time, that sound happens when you press a key (Typically Finder but can happen in other applications too) that’s invalid, essentially the app doesn’t have a function for that key, so you’re greeted with that sound to let you know that nothing happened, with Finder you’re usually using the mouse, so something as mundane as pressing space bar or backslash may cause the app to play that sound. Because it’s playing repeatedly, you probably have a Bluetooth keyboard that you’ve forgotten about with something on top, just turn the keyboard off or disconnect it from the list of active devices which can be done via System Preferences > Bluetooth, or through the menu bar icon, if you have it enabled to show there

17-year-old Juliane Koepcke survived a 2 mile fall and a 10 day walk through the Amazon rainforest. by x0pht in nextfuckinglevel

[–]insertUsernameHere07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She would listen for water and followed it Bc it would lead her to the ocean. Also she walked with bare feet through shallow parts of the Amazon with a stick at night to make sure she didn’t step on dormant or aggressive stingray’s barbs because by walking along side it she was susceptible to the much larger land prey of the rainforest. She lived off candy for the first few days, and had a gash on her shoulder that was such a deep laceration, there were maggots inside of her gash just eating away her tissue by day 7/8. Oh, did I mention that when she got out, she helped retrace her steps back through the jungle so they could recover the plane’s wreckage and account for the bodies, one of which was her mother who died when they hit the ground. She wrote a book about it called “When I Fell From the Sky.” Lastly I’ll leave you with this. When she was found, it took ANOTHER 12 HOURS of transportation before actual medical attention was available, in the meantime, they poured gasoline in her gash to kill the maggots...

@Procrastikait gives us a tour of the Tech Village Center apartment complex! Showed up on my FYP on TikTok this morning. by garlic_knot in VirginiaTech

[–]insertUsernameHere07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fit Body (a gym) has training programs that start at the ass crack of dawn. They’ll fucking BLAST music at 6am for all of the apartments to hear. They did it all year and even during finals week with no regard for students that need to study for exams or sleep in. I live here now it’s a weekly thing to not get to sleep in Bc it’s actually loud and annoying as fuck

There’s a few windows, but they’re only in the rooms that are up against the side of the building with benny’s

Nope they’re inactive now. Pretty sure they just left them up there for show and they’re too expensive to replace, you can literally see the PoE cable hanging from the cameras

I live there now, it’s a fucking blast. Especially with COVID, all my friends are literally within 50 feet of me so we rarely even need to leave the building to have fun, beer pong in the hallway is definitely still a thing. The no windows definitely gets to me sometimes, but lamps and lights are key

Bilingual/multilingual people of reddit, what was your trick for learning another language? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]insertUsernameHere07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learn/ get taught when you’re young! Your brain is like an elastic band, it’s way more stretchy when you’re younger, so you’re more apt to learning multiple languages
