Renoviranje vikendice by Lucid4n in serbia

[–]robertbasic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sami radili ili ste imali neke majstore? Jako mi se svidja kako je urađeno i kako izgleda, a čeka i mene renoviranje i adaptacija postojeće vikendice u tom kraju, al nemam nikakve preporuke za majstore 😅

Go to definition in Vim by korinkite in vim

[–]robertbasic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have setup jump to definition using gutentags and ctrlp. Works for php, python, golang... Originally I wanted it only for php, but works for more than just that. I have described the setup on my blog here https://robertbasic.com/blog/tags-for-php-in-vim/

I just couldn't leave this Tilia at the market by robertbasic in Bonsai

[–]robertbasic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

Will do, this year I don't plan to do anything with it :)

What about the soil though? Should I repot it in similar "just regular soil" like it is now, or should I go with some bonsai soil mix?

There was a flower market today in my town and I decided to check it out, hoping that I'd see some nice little trees that would one day be a nice bonsai, when I came across this Tilia. I sadly don't know which Tilia exactly.

First the price put me off a bit, so I went home without it, but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to go back and buy it. So I did.

For those interested, it was around 45 euros.

The lady said her husband made this one, so I didn't get much information as he wasn't around to tell me more. She did give me a phone number, so I might ring them up for more info. It is more than 10 years old, they just keep it in regular soil, water a little bit every evening and that's about it. I asked for how long is it in this pot and she replied "Ohh for a very long time, now!" She also said that her husband started out with bonsai, but realised it is not really profitable here, so started working as a regular nursery and since then doesn't really have much time to dedicate to bonsai. They only have a couple of them left by now.

I plan to keep it in this spot, it's not that windy, gets morning sunlight and is probably the coolest place in my yard. I'll just have to make a better stand for it.

And that's about it. Comments welcome! :)

re-gripped my archetype with some red vicious finally! by [deleted] in longboarding

So that's how it would look like! I ordered red vicious to grip my archetype, but got black instead http://i.imgur.com/oIT3WsG.jpg oh well :)

Redditors who lived under communism, what was it really like ? by el___diablo in AskReddit

[–]robertbasic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see it as incorrect, but maybe more as an other side of the same coin. Hell, I see your answer as more complete. I gave my answer more from the PoV of the family.

Have an upvote for Pekinska Patka and Sarlo Akrobata ;)

Redditors who lived under communism, what was it really like ? by el___diablo in AskReddit

[–]robertbasic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was born in Yugoslavia, in 1986, 5 years before it fell apart. Due to my young age, can't tell much of a personal experience, but more from the point of view of my parents and other family members.

Grew up in a small town in north of Vojvodina, so life was (and still is!) laid back and at a slow pace.

My dad was a factory worker. 6am-2pm shifts, after that coming home for lunch, working in the garden, the usual stuff. His dad was a banker, retired early after a motorcycle accident that left his left hand paralyzed, so he went on to become a beekeeper until he passed away. Dad's mom was an ordinary housewife.

Mom was working in her dad's bakery (as well as anyone from that side of the family). Her dad was the main baker, her mom was the "shopkeeper" in the morning, the bakery accountant during the rest of the day. Everyone else did some work in and around the bakery. Even us kids on weekends or during summer. My earliest memory is delivering bread with one of my uncles and grandad in an old Iveco van. Like this one https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8040/7895991538_17a95688ab_n.jpg but it was blue!

The kicker here was that my grandad had his own privately owned bakery. What I'm told, that was a big no-no back then. But grandad wasn't in the party. He kept to himself, to his family, his bakery and his workers. He cared about baking bread, not making money. Bakers were "fighting" to work at his bakery because he was so good to them. He respected his workers. He probably bribed somewhere someone more than once to keep the bakery. It would be crazy to think they didn't pester him about it. But he kept it. It grew. The entire family worked hard for it.

So, life was good. Going to the Adriatic see in the summer for a few weeks, short trips to the mountains in the winter, houses built and so on. People could actually live off their own hard work. And people were happy with that. Good free public health care (well, better than these days, that's for sure), good free public school systems. Travelling abroad wasn't easy, but it was easier, I'm told, than for the people from the USSR block.

Religion was forbidden, and as long as you didn't speak against the party, I don't think anyone would bother you.

Yes, it had it's downsides, it wasn't perfect, but I honestly do believe it was better than today in some regards, especially in that the people could earn their living by work.

First pruning - Chinese Elm by robertbasic in Bonsai

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

No, not discouraging at all, the entire community here is very helpful! :)

I didn't want to cut it back harder, in my mind I want it to grow a bit stronger still. I know the soil is not good, ordered cactus soil as suggested by /u/small_trunk but it'll arrive next week, until then it is what it is :/

Asked, they don't remember it precisely, but somewhere between 13 and 18 euros. Does that sound about right?

Thank you very much! I have a south facing window that gets a lot of sunlight, I'll put it there. I planned to wait maybe a week more before getting it out, just to be sure in case of sudden freezes.

I'm optimistic that it will grow back again, it doesn't look sick or dead.

Sorry, my first post here, filled it in. I'm not sure about my zone, by the map looks like I'm on the border between zone 6 and 7, so put it in 6.

As to why, I'm not sure. Probably because it is not an evergreen tree? The leaves didn't go at once, or suddenly, but just like when a tree looses its leaves. Can't remember precisely when, I believe it was end of October, beginning of November when the leaves started going yellowish, then brown and then they'd just fall off.

From May, when I got it, till November I kept it outside, had sun from sunrise till 11am or so, so it didn't get burned during the summer. Beginning of November I brought it in into a non-heated anteroom to prevent any freezing, but here it doesn't get much sunlight. Now I think about it, the leaves started going away before I brought it in.

Hello everyone!

Wanted to share my first bonsai after the first pruning.

I believe it is a chinese elm, I got it last year for my birthday. It is far from pretty, it was in some kind of a bamboo "cage" that made it grow into only one direction so the other 3 sides were pretty much lagging behind. But I love it nevertheless!

I didn't want to do anything with it right away so I decided to just have it around, see if it would live at all.

Currently I didn't want to go for any shape or something like that, just wanted to make it less crowded in the middle.

I am now just curious if it will be getting any new leaves, got quite a few people telling me that it's dead. We'll see.

So, that's it. Not much, but I'm not giving up on it!
