A big reason I replaced my old S10+ with a battery that wouldn't even hold half a day with Xperia 1 VI is that it has both the headphone jack AND an SD card slot. Might be the only flagship left that has both...

That one is Mammillaria hathiana, also known as Old lady cactus :)

It does, doesn't it? Too bad it's just going to look like two cacti next to each other after planting, but oh well...

Wonder what the excuse for not hitting 60FPS in all or even most) games will be this time... I mean, I still play a lot and I do like my PS5, but it's way beyond ridiculous at this point.

My suggestion would be to watch a new account/F2P playthrough on YouTube and learn from that - I know Brozime did one fairly recently. Iflynn had a pretty great beginner guide too, but it's slightly older, 2022 I think?

The answer is basically mods though - you need to learn how to mod both frames and weapons, and it can take a while (and can seem super complicated and daunting at first). The free to play playthroughs are a great starting point, since they show it step by step, without spending real money or platinum.

They used to have invite threads on Reddit - that's how I got mine when the API changes were announced. I think it was in Reddit alternatives subreddit? Not sure, haven't been back since. If there's still a thread (and if the subreddit even exists still), asking there might work.

Thanks! And yeah, we sure do - hope this one stays healthy, being different species and all - fingers crossed!

I don't need any, but just wanted to say it's an amazing idea - thank you for being so generous and helpful! The ephemeras can be an insane grind!

I don't know (or, frankly, care much) about the "why", and I like Lemmy the way it is, but if your looking for deeper discussion and longer posts I do recommend Tildes, if you can get an invite: https://tildes.net/ It's not open to the public, so the post volume is quite low, but most responses are well thought out, longer and often thought-provoking. I don't post much there, but enjoy reading it a lot.

That one is a Whitesloanea crassa - kinda similar to pseudolithos that I love very much, but completely suck at growing, so they get deformed or just straight die on me more often than I'd like to admit... :(

It's a tephrocactus - most of them look pretty crazy and I love them for it :)

They were all so purdy that I couldn't help myself. Surprisingly affordable too, even the bigger ones, which is always nice.

I posted about my grafted bois before here (I wish there was a way to share instance-agnostic links, maybe some day...), but I have an update - one of them decided recently that having another cactus forcibly implanted on top of it is not nearly enough, and he started sprouting all over the place! What a little overachiever, eh?

 

The first pic is unedited, and here's the version I played with a bit, what do you think, is it too much?

Here's a few more, should be clear by looking at them, but unedited version first, edited one after:

I think I might have gone overboard with the Aztekiums (first pic), but other ones look kinda nice to me. Still a lot to learn though, one day I might be able to show how pretty these are in real life!

 

The one with dark, shiny leaves is Alocasia Cuprea, and the one with pretty stems is Alocasia Zebrina. I do hope they like their new home - had a bit of mixed luck with Alocasias in the past...

New flowers keep opening almost every hour - glad at least these bois seem to be loving the scorching Tokyo weather, because I sure as hell am not :)

Aaaaaanyway, here's more:

This pic is of a big boy that looks a bit like a lophophora underneath the flower, and here's one of an amazing grafted ball of fun I got last year (rootstock is slightly sun bleached, but quite healthy otherwise):

Looking forward to more and bigger flowers soon!

Edit: one of my gymno triplets also started to bloom some time between 3 hours ago and now! I was hoping all flowers would open up together, but it's still pretty :)

These were the first cacti my wife and I grafted ourselves at a workshop last year in August. Both took, and are growing FAST - love how healthy they are!

For reference, here's a pic from last year (doggo for scale). Unbelievable how much bigger they are in less than a year! Grafted-Smol-Bois.jpg

When the weather allows it, I keep most of my plants outside, so the main picture is a view that shows my balcony from the far end, just to better display the extent of my wife's and mine craziness.

Here are some closeups of different racks and sections - I will properly organize it one day, I'm almost certain of it ;) You can click the embeds for full-res photos.

I also have a rack in the living room, next to the TV, with some lamps: Hot-Mess-10.jpg

That's about it for now, at least until the weekend - might notice some more cute succ-ers when I go grocery shopping or whatever, and as you can clearly see impulse control is not my forte :P
