Jim East@slrpnk.netto vegan@lemmy.world•“No Injuries Were Reported” in Fire That Caused 100,000 Deaths [2023]English2·1 day agoWell thank heavens that at least no one was hurt.
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What fruits are ripening where you live?English1·1 day agoIn order to flower well, longan usually needs a “winter” season with min temps <12°C and/or less rain. While fruiting, hot and wet is best. At sea level in the tropics, the low temps usually don’t occur, and even if the winter is dry enough for longan to flower (but not dry enough to kill it), the other half of the year usually doesn’t get as hot as subtropical summers, so the fruits might not develop properly. Either you have a strange tropical breed of longan, or you are very lucky to have the right conditions where you live.
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What fruits are ripening where you live?English1·1 day agoI don’t want to ask for your exact location, but longan at sea level is… unusual. Don’t take it for granted. Cherish it.
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What fruits are ripening where you live?English1·1 day ago…Well at least there’s no grass to chop.
Jim East@slrpnk.netto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which programs and apps do you avoid updating?English5·1 day agoThe developers sold out, and the new parent company wanted to add opt-out telemetry IIRC. They received a lot of backlash and apparently reduced the data collected, but they had proven that they could not be trusted, and multiple forks were made before the new version with telemetry even released. Tenacity is what came of at least two of those forks.
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What fruits are ripening where you live?English1·1 day agoI guess rambutans can’t be stopped from making too many babies! 😆
I’ve never grown calamondin, so I can’t say for sure, but it’s possible that you really did stunt it… How much of the tree did you cut off?
EDIT: What elevation are you growing both soursop and longan? Do you have a dry winter there?
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Solarpunk@slrpnk.net•What fruits are ripening where you live?English2·1 day agoMayapple… Is that a Syzygium?
EDIT: I looked it up, and apparently not. I’ve never heard of such a thing. Do you know what the fruit is like?
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What fruits are ripening where you live?English1·1 day agoI just live somewhere cold
That is unfortunate. Are the raspberries fruiting now? How long until saskatoons?
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What fruits are ripening where you live?English1·1 day agoI might try growing okra again someday. When it’s good, it’s good.
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What fruits are ripening where you live?English1·1 day agoHey, some trees fruit so hard that they lose all of their leaves…
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What fruits are ripening where you live?English3·1 day agoNice! I’ve never seen anyone cut rambutans in half like that, but you do you. Are those longans I see?
EDIT: Citrus trees are hard to kill, so as the weather warms up, your calamondin will probably recover. It might be disfigured, but it should regain its strength with time.
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Solarpunk@slrpnk.net•What fruits are ripening where you live?English2·2 days agoThey can’t all be winners, but you never know until you grow them. I once bought tomato seeds from a local hardware store. Best tomatoes I ever ate. Unfortunately, I lost that seed lineage years ago. Some days I still miss those tomatoes.
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Solarpunk@slrpnk.net•What fruits are ripening where you live?English2·2 days agoYes, those count! Are they a named cultivar that you grew or volunteer bird poop tomatoes?
Jim East@slrpnk.netto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Is there any lemmy instance that's truly liberal enough to tolerate a completely divergent point of view ? The EU norms are not for me, and I'm also far far away from the MAGA politics of USA !!!English6·2 days agoIt’s Markdown.

Jim East@slrpnk.netto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which programs and apps do you avoid updating?English6·2 days agoAudacity. I stayed back at whatever old version for quite some time before finally switching to Tenacity.
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Meta (slrpnk.net)@slrpnk.net•Any reason that slrpnk.net is not on Lemmy Federate?English1·3 days agoIt does sound odd, but it’s correct without them. A sentence must never end in a preposition, so “you have subscribed to” becomes “to which you have subscribed” in this case.
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Meta (slrpnk.net)@slrpnk.net•Any reason that slrpnk.net is not on Lemmy Federate?English0·3 days agoGreat! I notice two grammatical errors where it says “to which … subscribed to” (the final “to” should not be there), but I don’t know if you did that or I did. Oops. Other than that, cool, glad to be of help!
Jim East@slrpnk.netto Meta (slrpnk.net)@slrpnk.net•UI missing icons/actions.. e.g. no up/down vote, reply, etc. Did a recent Lemmy release try to do something fancy?English1·4 days agoUpon seeing your edit, I don’t know what the problem is, but @poVoq@slrpnk.net might know how this works. slrpnk.net didn’t upgrade to a new Lemmy release in the last few days, so that wouldn’t be the problem. Did you upgrade your browser?
Jim East@slrpnk.netto Meta (slrpnk.net)@slrpnk.net•UI missing icons/actions.. e.g. no up/down vote, reply, etc. Did a recent Lemmy release try to do something fancy?English2·4 days agoI’ve also seen this recently. Waiting a few minutes and refreshing the page (using the browser, not the site’s own interface) usually fixes it. Network issue perhaps? Server load?
Yeah, give saskatoons a try! You’d be surprised what’s possible even in your climate.
