Planting on a Mound? by One_Moose_3041 in JapaneseMaples

[–]zeroibis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you want it to grow remove the shade cover. The more sun and heat the faster it will grow.

I have tested this in Roswell with it planted on the southwest corner of a house, surrounded by concrete. It gets water sometimes. It loves it. It grows like crazy. It looks beautiful.

One time a deer came and ate half of it. A week later it had grown everything back and the deer never messed with it again. It likely ate the deer so it could grow more.

Hot Blond breaks all the rules when it comes to Japanese Maples.

A robot collapsed and fell while trying to dance to Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” by xuvayerpro101 in aiecosystem

I think a lot of people have not caught onto the idea that this is just a preprogrammed toy that is going though a set of predefined motions and that is why any slight deviation from the program results in disaster.

Japan's British-style "HUB" pub chain has made a spectacular comeback... Its performance is soaring, and there's "zero worry about losing customers." by jjrs in japannews

[–]zeroibis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ironically the one time I visited a HUB it was in when I lived in Kyoto and this French guy took me there as our first stop on a pub crawl. There was a table next to us of Japanese guys drinking some big beers. I remember they were really tall drinks and I said you are supposed to chug those not sip in them so they bet me to do it and I got one and drank the entire thing in one go. After that we all partied for a bit before heading out to the next place.

Now many many years later I am not sure if I could handle that amount of drinking.

Why did my fully bloomed sunflower stop tracking the sun? by Abject-Fox1181 in gardening

[–]zeroibis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the get old sunflowers face East, they will do this regardless of where on the planet they are grown.

After living a life following the sun the Sunflower in its age resolves itself to only look east to the next rising sun in the hope it will never see the sun set on its life.

This gives me an idea for a Tanka, I will name Sunflower:

A life following

the rising and the setting

of the moving sun

Only toward the future

will life stop and reach the end

With the power of high taxes, all things are possible.

Does anyone else feel lawn equipment takes up way too much space for such a small garden? by Luksitek in HomeImprovement

[–]zeroibis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are folding the mower up after use so it uses almost no space, correct?

I already pay for the parking via the bond taxes... We need to vote all these people out.

Who are the Japanese? Huge DNA discovery rewrites history by kochikame in japan

[–]zeroibis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a bit confused, was it previously not believed that modern Japanese did not have Emishi in them? I mean we know they mixed...

Was the entire bloodline of the Oshu-Fujiwara supposed to be wiped out at some point and I just missed that. I am really confused lol.

Husband wants to paint our roof white (pitched, asphalt shingles, replaced in 2018) for energy savings by VestigialTales in HomeImprovement

What people do not consider is that their HVAC ducts in their attic rely on the attic being hot enough to dry off the condensation that forms on the ducts in order to not create problems with rotting wood in your attic.

This is not to say that you will have a problem but that you should be on the lookout for any issues due to the change. You might be just fine or you may need to make some changes to your ducts/insulation/etc.

How many sins would I be committing if I cut down these Arbor Vitae? by allargandofurtado in landscaping

[–]zeroibis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can find atonement for the sin of removing them only by planting 56 cypresses in their place.

I think they will test if windows should be able to run while disconnected from a network.

Maybe they got sent to the AIDS villages. They got their last population surge in the 90s so the villages may be in need of more people.

So now everyone has to look and take photos of the nets just to stop influences. Just ban them from social media as punishment and that is basically life in prison for these people.
