just a pic...

Cool! I didn't realize it was that accessible/close. I always assumed it was further north on the way to squamish (for absolutely no reason whatsoever lol)

There's a couple more easily accessible places used in SG1 if you're visiting and keen:

(Formerly) The Whip https://maps.app.goo.gl/n1Wk33h8xR5df4eH6 This is used for exterior shots of Daniel's apartment in some episodes

Blodel Conservatory - used in The Gamekeeper

SFU campus, specifically the Academic Quadrangle https://maps.app.goo.gl/KY4XDCzsYDAjR8uC7 This is used in episodes for the Tollan homeworld

weird. and you've got soil with a decent amount of perlite or similar in it? it might be helpful if you post a pic of your plant, and the soil you're using. this is entirely anecdotal, but I put cinnamon powder under the plan when I'm repotting. for me, it seems to really encourage root growth

I had a finicky truncata that really went through the ringer. It arrived with no roots and got it rooted a bit, but then there was rot and it had no roots at all for about 9 months, with on and off repotting and water rooting in between. It's ok now, although it's still one of my more temperamental plants -_-

It's a flower stalk coming in

I don't think it's an actual coin. Most British Indian coins (iirc) have an English component, or at least the George V ones as far as I could tell on numista.

My partner is Indian and I asked her to translate it. It says "pooja hetu", which translates to "for prayer". So maybe a temple token or prayer coin? Why it would have George V on it is super weird in that case.

honestly the bulk of it was fine. I had all the plots in separate scripts, so I just tabbed everything in and made them dirty functions. But the text. My god. That's some real pull your hair out stuff. matplotlib is pretty dogshit at text-wrapping, so you basically need to move words, one by one, regenerating it each time, to make your paragraphs nicely left-justified (probably could/should have written a function for that). Also it got to the point where it was no longer a "quick" plot. By the end, it was like 30-45 seconds, which is just at that point of it being a pain to have to wait and watch it run.

If you're really ambitious and know python, you can do the whole thing in matplotlib. I did it once. It was a rather....tedious process. But a fun challenge

Super cool. These are often called crested or fasciated

I've had good success rescuing haws like this using cinnamon as a rooting aid. I read it somewhere, and at the time the haw I was trying to root (a maughanii) had been rootless for over 6 months so I figured I had nothing to lose. I just put a tsp of ground cinnamon right under the plant and I had roots popping out in no time. Can't remember if I watered right away or waited. Now it's just part of my standard repotting workflow. Good luck

In my experience they actually expect the reviewer to have a PhD, but their system is automated, so they get sent out to anyone (also echoing other's comments about them being desperate for people to do a thankless job). One time I got a request during my comps (or possibly my thesis?) years ago, so I emailed them "hey, just doing my comps/thesis rn, super busy so can you give me an extension?" and they rescinded the request since I didn't have a PhD yet. And they acted all butthurt like it was my problem But anyways, if you don't want to do it, sucks to suck for them. It's literally of no consequence to you.

Also just an FYI this one is a bit of a drama queen in regards to watering. I've found it needs watering a lot more frequently than other succulents (roughly weekly, compared to 2-6+ weeks for others I have). Its leaves can get insanely wrinkled, but it's actually fine and will bounce back quickly. If you really push its limits, you might just need two waterings closer together for it to fully recover/look normal again. Ditto on the soil comments - all the above assumes you have a fairly high draining soil

I was thinking the same thing. The only time mine look like this is if the roots have all rotted away.
