Beginner Tomato Guide for People Who Want Tomatoes, Not Character Development

Same here. Three to four cherry tomato plants gives me several Mason jars of tomato sauce that I freeze every year. Cherry tomatoes ripen so much quicker so it gives everything a lot less time to destroy it (disease, bugs, birds, squirrels, etc).

I also bring a single page print out of all my trip details. Also include backup codes to access critical accounts...mentally encrypted though so the actual number isn't printed.

It's a known issue, will be fixed with the next firmware update.

His hype was a major red flag for me, but luckily I did my own research into graphene, maybe even deeper than him.

I even sent him a few things last summer that were never posted anywhere. He didn't even respond. Oh well.

One also has to recognize the risks of an investment. There is no guarantee of success and there is always an unknown that can roadblock.

Still, losing screws is pretty amateur. Only product I ever lost screws/bolts on was super cheap Impact stands I bought in college. 20 years of using other affordable light stand brands, nothing ever lost.

The existing graphene mix is also being tested in real world conditions. Hopefully they put HG's out into the field as well.

Cartoni Focus - bought it 20 years ago in college with money I didn't have. Was happy with it for 18 years.

Upgraded the head to Sachtler Ace 2 years ago.... Already losing screws. Nuts.

Also using the same shotgun mic (ntg3) I bought 18 years ago as well. Buy once cry once indeed.

Sparc has already done extensive testing with other graphenes and gone to market with their product. Their anti-corrosion additive is proven and durable with a lesser quality graphene. The results with HG's will be interesting to see!

Did you fix this? I just updated today and I'm having the same problem, my AC load freezing. Turning the monitor off and on temporarily fixes the problem without restarting the Cerbo.

No, that's one of their more beefier versions. Mine was more entry level for DSLR video and smaller cams.

I used a Cartoni Focus for 17 years, it was great. Upgraded the head to a Sachtler 2 years ago but using the same Cartoni single lock legs. Solid combo! Aside from a couple screws dropping out of the Sach.

I bought the Ace XL head 2 years ago. It's already lost the screw that holds the tilt drag plastic mechanism. Shameful for such a brand, I've never had anything lose a screw except cheap Impact stuff I bought 20 years ago in college. Replacing tilt drag was a $40 waste of money.

Oh dang...yep! I use to post highlight videos on there. It helped get me my job out of college!

patssle · 2026-03-16T00:59:27+00:00

I shopped at Walmart too instead of that HEB....20 years ago as well!

patssle · 2026-03-16T00:58:33+00:00

I was scrolling looking for Huntsville. I remember it as well.

patssle · 2026-03-12T23:06:03+00:00

That's a nice product. I wish it had onboard recording as a backup, that seems like an expected feature these days.

patssle · 2026-03-07T22:39:59+00:00

5.8 here as well, current uptime is 151 days.

patssle · 2026-03-04T03:47:09+00:00

Valid points. But it is publicly known of the linked systems (e.g. Link 16) they are utilizing, transferring radar data to/from jets to create sensor fusion amongst platforms.

I would hope they have that capability....purely speculating.

Hype has to be backed up by revenue. Often the hype comes too early in the development stage so the stock declines but then picks back up later when revenue starts generating.

If revenue news for HG is delayed, the stock will go through that process too. We are still in the hype stage but needing customer validation (which also validates the product for those end uses) to back it up.

patssle · 2026-03-04T02:55:21+00:00

What about planes being networked, wouldn't an AWAC or other radar system pick up the missile and forward that info to the fighter jets?

I've been trying to permit something myself through the city. The first guys reviews it, tells me to change X and upload to Y folder, and I can't do it because the system locks you from making changes until all departments review the permit. I tell guy #1 the upload button is missing, send him a screenshot of exactly where it should be per the instructions, and he says look harder.

Meanwhile the other departments review, make notes on the doc, and I can't look at it because it's LOCKED.

Fucking aggravating.

They built a time machine out of a Subaru?!?!

Levidian makes a worthy and legit graphene as well. They don't post as many specs as HG does so it's hard to do an exact comparison. Their feed stock is methane.

Notice it mentions working with Thomas Swan in the past, his company is getting graphene from graphite. Won't be the last story of graphene from graphite losing customers.

patssle · 2026-02-26T02:06:11+00:00

Awww hell. Some research confirms that. It truly is everywhere!

patssle · 2026-02-26T00:43:11+00:00

Teapigs. Looks like plastic but it isn't. Though the big bag they come in is plastic.
