There are one or two nice people from Switzerland (assuming you are there, just guessing from comments) on bonsainut if you are looking for local resources and helpful people. A decent-sized collection like that is a real testament to unbro

It affects seedling recruitment for sure. Some species love to start beneath leaf mulch and there is probably something out there that would colonize your leaf field hard and fast if it were given the chance. I collect red alder seedlings i

I think conserving energy in cold months is close to the biggest factor. Regarding the dropping of biomass, in both deciduous and evergreen species, some of the substances from the retiring leaves/needles are reclaimed by trees ("

Winter root growth is widely-observed amongst people who work with tree roots annually (bonsai hobbyists and professionals, commercial ornamental tree growers, especially propagation-adjacent roles) in milder temperate climates (eg: Pacific

The title seems inaccurate at time of commenting. This library is called “nv_cluster_lod_builder” Nanite is Unreal’s implementation of a similar thing. The README even links to Unreal’s implementation in the references section.

I've studied bonsai with a professional who trained in Japan for a number of years. Bonsai is a well-developed professional craft that should be learned from people who already know it rather than guessed at from absolute first princip

Pines have a hard time pulling on the water chain due to their needle design (silhouette/waxy coating). To move water to a location on a pine branch, you usually need needles or a strong tip bud that was already emerging just as the ne

Understood -- the big multinational I was working for employed an immigration law firm that tracked many such crossings, and they practically begged me not to try crossing by land based on their statistics (which suggested a higher probabil

I am not an immigration lawyer. Something you should be aware of is that when applying for a green card, your status as a Canadian (whether permanent resident or citizen) or as a Brit (ditto) is completely irrelevant. The green card process

I am not a lawyer. The transition from TN->GC is possible too under the right (narrow) circumstances. The big tradeoff is not risking travel while within the lifecycle of one TN term, and likely not being able to straddle a GC applicatio

Much like the other commenter, I learned to never ever do any of this stuff (ordinary travel or renewals) via land crossings. You can have a major trajectory change to your life on the whims of a border guard who is just having a bad day ev

True. I get the same volunteers (+ thuja + bigleaf + etc) and put quite a few of them into pots. Eventually though, doug fir reverts back to a sort of weed status later on, when the accumulated effects of human fire suppression causes doug

This is not really true, and if you'd like to learn more than you ever wanted to know about this topic then you should start following Zeke Lunder from The Lookout and review some of his wildfire analysis videos on YouTube. He often ta

Hi, sorry for the late reply but hopefully you'll see this: Linnstrument lights the keyboard up so that you see where C is at for each octave. It also lights up notes similar to a piano's black/white keys. It took a little wh

I use an all-fourths tuning on the Linnstrument and absolutely love it. As a person who approached both music theory and learning to play with their hands for the first time (after clicking around in a piano roll for years) with an all-four

IMO, a major ingredient of raytracing running well enough in a game that also looks as good as any other current AAA title in raster-only mode has been DLSS. Raytracing is (or at least, at time of 2xxx series GPUs, was) still quite expens

Yes, there is information related to that: "The applicant does not intend to reside in Iceland for the long term." Mildly similar to the concept of "dual intent" in the US immigration system

Can you speak more about the resurgence? I'm one of those who saw some of the promise and have been wondering if it'd ever come back and am curious what you've seen.

Fellow Linnstrument owner here. Agree completely on your point about the diversity of chords. It's really really hard to imagine going back to a piano layout and attempting to get back to the high water mark of where I'm at with a
