  • Nethack 5.0 has been released

    Jump

  • This is the opposite of retro. A new release.

  • Linux 7.1 fixes audio for the Steam Deck OLED after being broken 2 years on the upstream kernel

  • I can do without the reddit links. I left reddit for a reason.

  • You need to secure a load onto trailer using just plain rope and then untie it later without using a knife - how screwed are you?

    Jump

  • Not screwed at all. Learned a lot of useful knots as an arborist.

  • What are your recommendations for titles that run on low spec emulation handhelds and have a modern feel?

    Jump

  • Second the Oracle games. Two thumbs up.

  • Live action remakes of Disney cartoons disgust me.

  • Night light may disrupt the immune systems of mammals, and even raise the risk of death, a new study found

    Jump

  • Did they say which night light they tested?

  • Anyone know if this apple tree can be saved?

  • The same principles should apply to any woody perennial plant, but maybe not exactly. You still don't want them planted too deep, but they might not have a visible root flare. Since they are smaller, faster growing plants than trees I think they adapt better to inconveniences. But don't quote me on that. They are technically covered by arboriculture but I do 95% of my work with trees. Vines and brambles aren't really my area of expertise.

  • Anyone know if this apple tree can be saved?

    Jump

  • Not at all. You can gently excavate down until the root flare is exposed in most cases. It is, however, a red flag for how the tree has been taken care of and if you can find a better looking one it's easier to just go with that one.

  • Sometimes we get really lucky and a new tree really loves where it's planted. Love to see it.

  • Anyone know if this apple tree can be saved?

    Jump

  • Sure. It is really common to see trees planted too deep. If the trunk looks like a telephone pole it is probably planted too deep. The base of the tree should flare out visibly. Unfortunately a lot of trees are too deep when you buy them. This makes tree selection at the nursery very important.

    "Mulch volcanos" are a common way you see landscapers apply mulch to trees. The mulch piled up the sides of the tree. When mulching a tree you should use 2"-3" of mulch out to the drip line (edge of the leaves). No deeper than this, and the mulch can't touch the bark of the tree. Wet mulch on the bark encourages fungal growth and pests.

    These are both really important for tree health because tree roots need access to oxygen. Being planted too deep or adding too much mulch will starve the roots of oxygen and ultimately lead to tree decline. It won't be a fast death. It could be five years before you start seeing your tree struggle. I have a pamphlet I was gonna take a picture of, but I'm in the middle of a move so it's packed away.

    What is your favorite conspiracy theory?

  • This is my all time fav. His head just did that.

  • Certified arborist here. Fruit trees are often precious, if I'm being generous. They are short lived, prone to disease, and take a lot more work than almost any other tree to keep healthy. It's not really a bad thing, just part of what they are. If there are no target and the tree isn't too big I would just let it do its thing. Yes the tree is going to fail. Yes it is dying. Enjoy it while it lasts. Now is a good time to think about replanting. Get another tree lined up and planted, by knowledgeable people please. No buried root flares or mulch volcanos. If you play your cards right you could have another tree producing by the time this one is gone.

  • Are most men not whiling to adopt?

    Jump

  • The main reason I wanted kids at all was to mix my wife's genes with mine and see what happened. I am, actually, infertile but we had some success after 2 years, and an "accident" 3 years after that. If it didn't work out for us I think my second choice would be a sperm donor. That way I still get to see my wife in the kids. The hurdles to adoption put it last on the list of options. Right behind just not having kids. Not that I wouldn't adopt a kid, but going through the process is/was overwhelming to me. I prefer to go about it the way my parents did. Adopt the kids in your life as they need it.
