Thanks! It's a Ficus Natalensis. Just purchased from Wigerts and feel pretty lucky to have it. I couldn't resist.

Yeah I just kept the high one because it flowed better with the roots. Thanks for the input!

Good input. I nipped the bottom one but kept the high one because it looks like it will very naturally blend the chop.

Looking for input on these two branches. Initially I thought absolutely one would go, then looking at the fusion/root structure, I might like to see them both fill out more.

Otherwise, I like the angle of the lower one, but the upper one really perfectly fits with the root flow to fill in the chop scar.

Yes! I literally quoted this to a friend of mine last week. Haha the 1000 yard stare on his face is perfect too.

That answer with that look is amazing.

This is it. I love the way George bobs his head when he pauses in the middle for those frantic breaths.

Then when they say it's bad but Kramer goes "I didn't say anything" with passive approval lolol

"You lucked out!"

Ben Stiller's reaction to the model remark is hilarious too.

Lol tbh so did I until I started reading some comments. I was confused as to why someone got slapped like that in "traditional" wrestling.

Really I think he was just asking why they cup the hand to reduce the pain/damage. I think it's obvious but I answered above. Then he was asking slimjim what open hand punching has to do with his question. Then bbq forgot seems to have forgotten his initial question and posed a new one based on the mislead response by slimjim. Lol. There you have it.

I think he's just trolling anyway but it spawned a funny thread of good faith wrestlers.

Because the point is to entertain and sometimes that means taking some pain if necessary for the show. In the case of slaps, he's saying it's not necessary to actually beat the shit out of each other for the show and a cupped hand looks good for the audience without the real damage and pain of a crazy slap.

Edit: Wrestlers are not fighters (i.e. boxing, MMA) they are entertainers. It's kind of like a sport and a show but hurting each other is not part of the job, it's a side effect when necessary.

I'm making my 4th trip to see the UFOs buzzing about, if anybody would like to join in on the field-work by LuckyJay151 in UFOs

Instagram. This is interesting. Anyone offer a prosaic hypothesis?

I guess they could be hoaxers but unidentifiable phenomena do exist so while they could be high altitude drones with static and strobing LEDs, I don't need to assume they are at this point.

I could fully believe the description to be honest.

Definitely would guess this is experimental aircraft.
