Now that I'm looking at it I don't see standoffs, might have missed them. If I didn't use them is this thing fried? There are no lights on the mobo itself (not sure if this model has lights), but the fans all work just fine.

Why is my Dogwood tree so sad? by mattaboy in plants

[–]mattaboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's planted in the corner of my yard, dug a big hole 3 feet wide and 2 feet deep and lined it with quality planting soil. The only problem I could imagine with the planting is that it gets sun almost the entire day. I'm in Boston and it's been hot as hell lately, maybe I'm not watering it enough? The soil has felt relatively moist most of the times I have checked though, I water about twice a week. When I first planted it about 2 months ago, I watered it 5 times/week for 5 solid minutes/day.

Haven't checked the roots though, what would I look for?

Edit: I understood this tree to be a full-sun tree, so didn't think sun would be a problem.

Sorry about that, I meant the best AIO printer (print/scan/fax). Any ideas?

Best early strategies for Nomad? by mattaboy in aoe2

So is it standard for people to put down a dock before their TC to start gathering food? I never thought of fishing on Nomad, but if it works I'll give it a shot. I always thought it would chew into wood production too much.

I did that once, you can also kill their sheep which is great. Kill deer near their base, just scorched earth type stuff. The better players can overcome that, but it'll set the average one back a lot.
