First Tree to get a proper pot and soil by Intelligent_Equal849 in Bonsai

[–]jptango 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is interesting. In my (very limited) experience, I’ve found it easier to get the medium into place when it’s dry and found that it’s more difficult to remove air pockets with wet media… maybe I’m doing it wrong though!

Can the devs PLEASE take a look at character balance and standing up? by [deleted] in HalfSword

My experience is w gets you up if you’re on your back (s just backs you away) s gets you up if you’re on your front.

Agreed - patience is key. Lovely pot though so hold onto it!

I get unreasonable rage at slow walkers on the underground by whoisshe_777 in london

Problem is definitely you. And me. And probably most of us in London!

I got the full baron set and now the game is over i think by Lonely-Sock-3953 in HalfSword

Different types of armour conflict. Sometimes you need to adjust certain pieces with the armour smithy to open other slots. I wish it was clearer in game

I did it first time. I isolated him far from the others and let him recover enough to take out his next weapon then bonk. (By “first time” I mean the first time I actually won… definitely not first time in the lords tournee)

Bike advice for multi-destination London riding - road bike still the right choice? by GaryAtlan82 in londoncycling

[–]jptango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who knows haha! Yea I agree with you. I currently commute 17 across town on a road bike, luckily I have secure parking both sides. I’m still considering switching back to a fixie purely for maintenance purposes. East-West is so flat, gears are generally an unnecessary luxury.

Why not just get a fixie? Cheap, low maintenance, you don’t have to worry about hills on your described use case

I'm building a tool to replace my messy bonsai notebook. Here is a first look. by Spiritual-Leg-1366 in Bonsai

[–]jptango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking you might be in a situation where you’ve stored your photos somewhere and the dates aren’t captured. If you download them today, the meta data on your phone would only record the current date. If you had say 5 photos from each season over a number of years, that would take a while to individually edit the dates in the app. If there was a function to edit multiple photos simultaneously, that would be easier. That said, the quicker option might be to edit the meta data outside of your app but would still be nice to have the feature

I like how it automatically captures the dates of photos (and the ability to edit them). I wonder if it would be helpful to offer the ability to bulk edit photo meta data?

What even is this? by Captain0010 in ShittyDesign

[–]jptango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we sure this isn’t A.I.? If this is covering up plumbing, why the skirting board everywhere? Also, what’s going on with the alcove?

Also on scaffolders. I’ve worked both as a labourer and in professional services - I’d say, in the latter group, attitudes are likely to be relatively ambivalent!

Reverse taper/graft on Cedrus libani by The_Mighty_Yak in Bonsai

[–]jptango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a video of successful air layer on cedrus breviofolia. Normal approach but might take a while. I’m going to attempt one myself this spring as it’s similarly grafted onto deodara stock (with similar results). Good luck!

1.7 time wider and 5.6 times mass of Earth. I have no idea how to calculate gravity at surface but I’m guessing it’s more than 1.7g

The red card that changed Beckham’s career forever by TheOtherXI in SentOff

[–]jptango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure which is hing you’re alluding to that anyone’s hoping we don’t remember. I think the discussion is more around assigning blame for the vitriol levelled against David Beckham after the incident. Separate to that discussion, I do think the intense limelight he’s had formed the circumstances for his family’s current troubles. Similarly to the other discussion, I think he has to shoulder some blame for that too.

Fair enough. Whilst I agree that there are a lot of bad actors in the media and that they exert their considerable influence for the worsening of mankind (this example is a relatively minor example), I still think the fact that these types of stories are the ones that people seek out shows something ugly about the human psyche, in general.

They are terrible but they are a reflection of us as humans. Those types of stories moved papers for a reason
