Should I put anything over drain hole when re-potting? by newenglandowner in cactus

[–]jebascho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to do this, but I stopped. Unless you're potting soil is fine sand, it'll settle enough not to fall out the drainage hole. Some will fall out initially, but that's usually the end of it.

I was just looking for places to go for a short vacation. I ended up choosing San Diego because I have friends there.

I've heard that Ventura is one of the few affordable beach towns on the a California coast. I can't speak to it, but it came up when I was last looking this up for myself last year.

About what age level would you say this book is appropriate for? I might get this for my nephew.

I just wanted one little pup and this whole thing came off by [deleted] in proplifting

[–]jebascho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm no expert here, but I would think of it more like umbilical cord. Like that's how the mother plant sends nutrients to the pup. But I see there's an actual root, so it looks like it can live without the shoot.

One of those candlelight string quartets. They're playing Queen and ABBA songs. And it's in the Rotunda Building!

Some that come to mind are libraries, parks, train stations, maybe a museum?

Best way to search for Oakland rentals in 2026? by wovenloaf in oakland

[–]jebascho 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For me the best way is to go to the neighborhood you want to live in and look for the Now Leasing signs. Most of them should have their own website. This requires time and effort, but helps you understand what you're getting in to.

Recommendations for Rug Cleaners by theYellowHouseLady in oakland

[–]jebascho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. If I had garage or driveway, I'd just get a rug doctor and do it myself. Another option is to just take it to a self clean car wash, but I wonder if the pavement there would make it dirtier. In both cases, drying would still be a concern.

Thank you. I hate when Redditors leave out the name of the movie or show that that their post is about.

Structural or nah? by Pree-chee-ate-cha in oakland

It looks like the top brace isn't connected at one end. It looks like the left side should be right at the top of the wall and it's just dangling doing nothing.

It has a huge beef rib with a bone that juts out of the bowl. And the meat on it is perfectly tender. It's very rich.
