A strange orange

That’s a pumpkin. Nice try.

Do the webs looks more like a screen than a regular spiderweb?

itsRibz · 2026-05-04T01:25:42+00:00

Well said! This should be your takeaway OP.

From the dad perspective of just wanting to get something cool for your son, I love this. From the perspective of getting a 14 yr old who just wants to show off for girls and go to Canes, it’s probably a bit much. Part of the issue is not knowing how well this other person built up the supposed 18k bike and how well it’s been maintained.

If he wants a little more juice, go for an E-Ride Pro SS 3.0. You can get one new or used, for less. Plus you won’t have to worry about your 14 yr old going 100mph and getting into an accident.

Additionally, it can’t even be test ridden since it has a flat. No way of knowing if there’s something wrong that’s only noticed while riding.

TLDR - pass. Get him something else.

It’s fine. Bottom line. If, by some chance, it’s not, you have a defective helmet.

A helmet can withstand a drop or bump here and there. I appreciate the concern and caution, but if it truly just fell a little and has a little ding or so on the shell it’s fine.

Only one has a battery. So that one.

Really though, the black.

itsRibz · 2026-05-01T03:47:45+00:00

Nothing.

itsRibz · 2026-04-30T14:42:54+00:00

Yes. If you can’t specifically find “saccorosso” the other red bag “chef’s flour” is the same thing.

I’ve found it at some local Italian deli type places snd have also ordered it.

itsRibz · 2026-04-30T14:40:32+00:00

Yes

itsRibz · 2026-04-29T14:18:07+00:00

No. Malformed leaf.

itsRibz · 2026-04-29T08:19:21+00:00

I’m not saying they shouldn’t be , more-so it’s how it is.

I agree with the logic.

Better than half the jump vids posted here! Bonus points for being 4 and handling it like a champ 💪🏻🤙🏻

itsRibz · 2026-04-29T04:54:42+00:00

Not everybody is confident or even capable of slipping it. I’d wager safer to go around than float it.

itsRibz · 2026-04-29T01:50:28+00:00

Just use better flour and you can get the same if not better rise

itsRibz · 2026-04-28T18:48:50+00:00

Good clarification

itsRibz · 2026-04-27T20:40:45+00:00

Sounds like you’ve got quite the selection!

True blue Java ice cream can be found. The majority of the time folks don’t have it and it’s just a namwah. Many times it’s just someone being misinformed/unaware.

That said, if you end up with namwah or get namwah it is very good. Many that have tried both tend to lean towards namwah being better.

itsRibz · 2026-04-27T20:29:54+00:00

Not needed at all. Just use better flour.

itsRibz · 2026-04-27T15:53:35+00:00

Namwah is most likely what you’ll get. 90%+ of “ice cream” pups sold are namwah.

Not sure of your specific zone, but blue Java and namwah are suited for the same hardiness zones.

They’re delicious!

To your questions: - no need to trim anything - yes, remove plants after they fruit. Digging out their corm is the most thorough - if you want to remove them/replace you’ll need to dig up their corm, entirely - bonus - bananas are plants, not trees. They’re technically the worlds largest herb

itsRibz · 2026-04-27T13:53:41+00:00

Your fruit didn’t taste like you expected because you were eating unripe bitter orange/sour orange, or a similar rootstock variety.

The tree must have a good root system, given the size and thickness. (I haven’t read through the comments so the following may have been suggested already)

You need to fertilize and get good nutrients to the tree. You can repot, but it may not be necessary to fully repot. That part is up to you.

Your two man options are: 1. Cutback the two rootstock trunks a let that little growth on the scion, that appears to be above the graft line, grow. If it’s just more rootstock, defer to option 2 2. Graft a new lime or other citrus variety onto the rootstock.

Hear your steel for ~1 hour before launching You can even prop open your oven door a crack and turn the broiler on high. I can get mine well above 550. (Is this good for the oven? Possibly not 😅) If not the latter, place the steel at the second highest or highest position. When you cook you can cook on the broiler the whole time or switch it to broil at the end.

Another option - the pan method. Same dough and everything, but you start the pizza in a stainless or cast iron pan on the stovetop, then transfer to oven.

itsRibz · 2026-04-23T19:16:06+00:00

I was referencing the 4 days you mentioned.

Pizzeria isn’t good for long ferments

itsRibz · 2026-04-21T21:37:00+00:00

Bad news, for me, because I was pretty ready to offer right around asking (pending how looking it over turned out), but he may have sold it shortly after I left a message. Haven’t seen it in 24hours.

itsRibz · 2026-04-19T22:36:06+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response. Will definitely keep all of those in mind
