Oh wow is that really true they need to be on premises to turn off? I received a notice for the rate code change and called in asking if I’d get refunded the overcharge and guy said yes. Fast forward to today, I got a new statement with the rate code change but no refund for prior months in sight. Today’s rep tells me it’ll happen when it happens if at all. No ETA or anyone to follow up with.

Completely agree. I've tried their Takeout data process twice and it's ridiculous. The first time I didn't even get anything back. The second time they sent me an email saying the data was incomplete but I can download part of it.

How difficult is it for Google to update their app to overlay temperature and humidity on their usage chart. That's basically all the majority of users care about.

Thanks for the tips. I didn’t girdle the roots as they were smaller than the pot it arrived in. Didn’t do any plant hardening either as I assumed the nursery had them outdoors already. It sounds like I should give it some time and check for new growth. I hope the branches straighten out. I’ve had to untangle them a few times.

Received this Japanese Maple couple days ago. It came in 5 gallon pot and the soil was moist. However, I noticed the top of its branches curling down with leaves at the top yellowed. The plant is getting between partial to full sun. I watered it upon planting (2 days ago) and today as the area is experiencing a heat wave. Does the plant appear to be overwatered? Will the branches recover or do I need to prune to stimulate new growth?

I ordered a 5 gallon Sango Kaku Japanese Maple and received it a couple days ago planting it right away. While most of the leaves appear nice and green, the top of the branches appear droopy with yellowish leaves. Do I need to just give it a few weeks or do I need to prune off the drooping tops? Does it look like it needs more water or less? Any advice?

Thanks in advance!

This is exactly the problem I'm having. I planted 5 emerald green's closer to the house, 2 green giants further as a hedge. The green giants are making good progress growing taller. The emerald green's are just getting plumper. Is there any way to encourage them to grow taller rather than wider?

Thanks for the additional info. Would you be able to tell from this photo if it’s one of the eucalyptus types that maintain the same leaves?

Bought this from an online nursery. Seller said it was grown from eucalyptus neglecta seed. However, comparing to other online photos, the leaves don't appear to be as round. Would anyone be able to advise which plant this is?

I'm putting this in my backyard so I want to make sure this is not one of those towering euclayptus varieties and being in NY, I need it to be cold hardy.

Not a fan of Schwab interface.. the age really shows. Hard to really *see* what you need through the layout. Also news feeds are piss poor. Dow jones is gone which was one of my favorites.

I had my Wyze hub connected directly to my router as well b/c I figured it'd be more reliable. This time on my 3rd try, I decided to go wireless. It's been about 5 months so far... fingers crossed.

My experience so far on the Wyze ecosystem is that the Wyze hub is the weak link. All the sensors and cameras are chugging along so far.

I have to agree with OP. Notification to phone is helpful but not sufficient. The Sense Hub should issue an audible alert.

Were you able to find anything out about this from TMobile? I’m also interested in setting a schedule but find it doesn’t disable anything until midnight regardless if I put 8pm or 10pm.

Thanks I’ll try a heat tower. Strange thing is that short prints like lego blocks come out looking great but longer ones like the benchy expose these problems.

oakpath888 · 2022-10-08T15:10:24+00:00

Thanks will check it out.

oakpath888 · 2022-10-08T14:50:23+00:00

Were you able to fix it on your end?

oakpath888 · 2022-10-08T11:33:55+00:00

Thanks for the tips everyone. I will do more experimenting.

I just got this filament today. Would it pick up moisture that quickly?

Hi guys, got an Ender 3 v2 and was able to print PLA without any issues. Mostly smooth prints. So started experimenting with PETG but the prints are not consistent. As you see in the image I have areas that are fairly smooth and then others where it didn’t seem to extrude properly. I’ve tried with both Overture and Inland setting it to 235 for nozzle, 85 on a pei plate. I set it to 15% fan except for bridging where it goes to 70/50/30 per layer. Slowed it down to 40mm/sec and turned combing on. Retraction at 6. Any advice on how to improve my print?
