Fruit in the spring but none in the fall??
We have this orchard of 10 trees that we planted about 8 years ago. Two pears, two peaches, two plums, four apples. For the past several years we’ve been getting a great amount of little fruits. But a bountiful harvest in the fall never materializes. Is it disease? Squirrels or chipmunks or something??
What do we need to do (spray?) so the fruit sticks around until maturity? We already have a 6’ fence to keep deer away.

2024.05.22 00:01 Mr__DC Crimson Rose

The gunshots rang out in deafening succession, the staccato cracks echoing through the dense forest. Rose's large ears flattened against her skull as she cringed, paws clamped tightly over them in a futile attempt to block out the thunderous noise. When the barrage finally fell silent, she dared to open her eyes once more.
Only moments before, merely being robbed had seemed the best outcome she could hope for. Surrounded by a pack of leering bandits, each new suggestion of what vile acts to subject her to more depraved than the last, the young Ciri had been paralyzed with dread. But then that first gunshot cracked from somewhere unseen in the trees, and chaos erupted.
Rose wasn't sure exactly what happened after that first shot - just a blinding flurry of muzzle flashes amidst the trees and dull thumps as bodies crumpled to the forest floor.
Rose's amber eyes tensed as a figure materialized from the foliage, appearing and vanishing like a specter between the tree trunks, steadily drawing nearer. For a disorienting moment, she struggled to make sense of the stranger's appearance. At least until she recognized the masked helmet, its eye visors glowing a faint emerald, a rebreather built into the front where the mouth should be. A tattered duster trailed behind them, the pale fabric muddied yet remarkably reminiscent of Rose's own sandy fur. Beneath it, military-grade armor - archaic by Epsilon's standards yet distinctly utilitarian.
"Oh," she breathed, her ears perking up as a smile spread across her feline features. "You're an Outsider!"
The figure paused as they stepped onto the dirt path, slinging a rifle over their shoulder. "Yeah...hi," the woman muttered in a gruff contralto as if her voice were tinged with far too many years of smoky cantinas.
"Thank you for saving me!" the Ciri bubbled, still grinning from ear to ear. "Wow, you guys really are there when you're needed."
"I was tracking them for a few days now," the Outsider said, beginning to examine the corpses. "Luckily, you were there to distract them. Appreciated."
With that, the helmet came off, revealing a human woman with short, raven black hair and eyes to match - dark and unflinching. No hint of expression crossed her features as she procured a small case from one of the bandit's bags.
"Wait, so I was just bait for you?" Rose's brow arched with a hint of offense as she approached. Though the Outsiders were no threat to civilians - only those who preyed upon them - the woman's candor struck a nerve.
"No," came the dispassionate reply as the woman glanced back at Rose. "You just made me attack sooner rather than later." With that, the Outsider turned to melt back into the forest once more. But Rose quickly darted around to block her path, surprisingly fearless considering her recent ordeal.
"Well, regardless - thank you." Rose cocked her head with a sly grin. "And you know...I think I'm going to tag along for a while."
For the first time, the Outsider's stony visage cracked, a confused eyebrow arching ever so slightly. "You're...what?"
"You heard me!" Rose returned a cheerful smile. "I'm Rose, by the way."
The Outsider's eyes narrowed. "I'm not looking for company. What are you even doing here?"
Rose shrugged again as if wandering alone through the perilous frontier were the most normal thing in the world. "Just wandering."
"Just...wandering?" the woman repeated incredulously. With a shake of her head, she sidestepped Rose and continued on her way.
But the Ciri was not so easily dissuaded, quickly falling into step beside her rescuer. "There's a lot of interesting stuff out there! And I feel like I'll find a lot of interesting things with you!" Her tone remained stubbornly chipper. "So what's your name?"
"You don't need my name," came the quiet reply. "I'm just an Outsider."
"Well, I'm gonna need to call you something if I'm gonna come with you." Rose flashed a sly grin. "And it doesn't seem like you're gonna do much to stop me."
A pause. A weary sigh. "They call me Crimson."
Rose couldn't stifle a laugh. "Oh! I'm Rose, you're Crimson! Hah!"
The woman's lack of amusement was palpable. "Yeah..."

2024.05.21 23:25 Can_Various What can I realistically fit in a U-Haul U-Box?

TL;DR: I think I may need 2 U-Boxes, but I only want to pay for 1. What can I realistically fit into 1 box for my cross-country move?
Hi all, I'm a few weeks away from a cross-country move, & I would love some insight on what I might be able to realistically fit into 1 U-Haul U-Box.
I'm in a fairly small junior 1 bedroom at the moment, so I don't have a huge amount of stuff, but I'm worried this ultimately won't be able to fit into 1 box. I'm opting to have U-Haul's 3rd party movers load the box for me, if that makes a difference! I have:
As I'm typing this out, I'm realizing it's probably a little bit crazy to expect all of this to fit into one box lol, but when I got a quote it was ~another $1,000 for a 2nd box, & I'm hoping to avoid that extra expense if possible.
I don't think most of my stuff would be worth the extra $1,000 to keep, so I'm happy to hear that I'm being totally unrealistic here & should sell some stuff to ensure I can get everything into one box haha
Thoughts?
ETA: I just watched this video & it made me feel a little better about this, but please lmk what you think!

2024.05.21 22:56 Estimate-Chance So I went to regis today.

So I went to Regis today.
I ended up needing a new seat cutter, so I made the drive across DFW to get it. Turned into a really good trip. They use to have a shelf in the front with returns, and discontinued tooling on it, that disappeared. So I asked what happened. Well the dude was like we are moving things around. He said but if you want to look at that stuff follow me. Lol SO I DID.... I ended up picking up at least 40 nitrided guide reamers, 1 other seat cutter, a new dial indicator "small one with all the bits", about 15 different stones for my valve grinder, and seat stones, about 15 pilots, a TON of valve spring shims, about 6 ball hones in different sizes, 6 3M plastic surface cleaners that go on the grinder, 1 complete set of valve guide hones, "that had 3 adjustable fixtures for", a hand full of grinder disks, some long reach christmas tree wire brushes, one weird looking carbide flycutter, "i bought cause i was curious about it, 5 carbide inserts for my 3 angle seat cutter, Just a bunch of stuff... all for less than 300 bucks. Not including the stuff i actually had to buy. lol Today was a good day. lol

2024.05.21 22:15 a_smocking_gun "Yardscape" Brokerage - Seeking Advice on Feasibility and Strategy

I’m a software engineer in South Florida, making $150k annually while working roughly 25-30 hours a week. I have a flexible schedule and am financially comfortable, but I'm feeling bored and want a chance at real financial freedom.
I’m considering starting a "yardscape" brokerage business which would focus on offering landscape design, materials (rock/mulch/shells), plants, trees, lighting, patios, pergolas etc. My role would be to create and manage the brand and website, handle customer inquiries and relationships, while outsourcing the actual work to local suppliers and contractors for delivery and installation. (Understandably difficult)
A few key points about my plan:
Here are some questions I have:
I appreciate any insights or experiences you can share.

2024.05.21 22:11 LeftMusician687 I think i cracked will of d, shanks identity, and why world sinks...

Ragnarok which is also known as "Doom of the gods" causes earth to sink into ocean.
However it talks about 3 harsh winters without summers, could Oda have made it that the 3 long winters are actually previous attempts of a ragnarok? Each failure ended up ocean levels rising... Meaning before Joy Boy there was someone to fight against gods, it created the "Ocean" then Joy Boy was first to set sail as a pirate and eventually started another "ragnarok" causing second flood. And i find evil giants interesting species in One piece, because ragnarok starts with giants and demons attacking gods. Why was Oars in a land of ice?
Also i just realized that "Doom of the Gods" could be the will of D, D standing for doom. And as i think about this i wonder if the Ozuki clan symbol and many other symbol presenting the "9" circles could indicate that each clan of D comes from different planets? Meaning that there would be 9 D clans. Or just like straw hats, Joy Boy had a crew of 9 members and the will of D comes from every single member. Every D are descendants of Joy Boy's crew, but Joy Boy being a giant... Would make much more sense for the crew to be Giants also. So i rather think D clans comes from orbiting planets, the yggdrasil tree that connects "9" realms could been the tree in one piece to connect all worlds/planets.
Also Oda stated that the One Piece will be close to the ending when eyepatched character appears in One Piece... Odin has eyepatch. Loki is a prince in One Piece, so the father must be Odin. And Shanks being affiliated with Elbaf, who was the right hand man of Odin? Tyr... And Tyr sacrificed one of his arms to Fenrir... And who will kill Tyr at Ragnarok? Garmr the guardian of the underworld... Who happens to be similar to Cerberus 😂 So is Blackbeard Mythical Zoan Cerberus user which is the reason he can have multiple devilfruits. And does it mean Blackbeard will kill Shanks who is clearly inspired from Tyr.
But yeah, Elbaf will be really important arc to reveal the truth pretty much everything. Norse Mythology might be the key to solve rest of the mysteries in One Piece.
You can downvote and hate this post because it was not well made at all, i was supposed to only write about ragnarok when others things started to make sense and i continued with the flow.
Obviously One Piece has drawn inspiration from all kind of source materials.

2024.05.21 21:56 TacitusKadari The pantheon of Amaria

Context is at the end of this post __________________________________________________
In the stormy northern seas lies the island of Amaria. Under the polar lights in cold forests live the descendants of the once great Varaki, who in turn followed the mammoth herds across the steppes for countless eons. These are the gods and spirits of this land. They live in every tree, every lake, every star, deep below the ocean and beyond the polar lights in four domains.
The underworld, a place of transition between life, death and rebirth. It was made after the creation of the material to help souls find their way back to life. The spirits of this domain all take the shape of dragons with red eyes and golden patterns.
The boundaries. This is the realm of souls and spirits, dreams and nightmares, the skies and oceans and all waters deep and shallow. This domain has existed before time even began. It is endless and timeless.
The world of the living. This is our material world.
Evil. This is not actually a domain, but a state of mind. A very lonely one.
__________________________________________________
Context: I am currently working on a stone age fantasy novel and I'm sooo close to finishing it, but the last couple chapters are taking longer than expected. It's set on a forested island named Amaria\ at a time when people are making their first steps towards sedentary life and domestication** of plants and animals. Here is the pantheon I worked out for the Amarians.*
You can read my novel for free on Wattpad and Inkitt. I am planning to publish it on Royal Road too. If you know any other platform that might be good for fantasy stories, feel free to tell me.
\Amaria is short for "Amara Aria", which translates to "Gift of the gods/spirits". Aria means gift and Amara is the plural of Amar. The term Amar can not be literally translated into English. It's an umbrella term for all sorts of nature spirits, gods as well as entities one might compare to angels or saints. So it refers to a person with transcendent characteristics and always carries positive connotations.*
\*Dogs have been domesticated by the ancestors of the Amarians for tens of thousands of years already and are central to their culture. It is believed that they have the same souls as humans, so eating a dog would be considered cannibalism. So far the only other note on domestication I have in the books is the pruning of hazelnut trees to get more nuts. That's something I will change in later drafts. Nightshades will be far more important to the civilization emerging on Amaria in the coming millennia.*

2024.05.21 21:37 Idefyx D4-S4 feedback, 96 lvl incinerate sorceress, ~30hr played

I realize there are lot more things to try out then just play only sorceress every season, but that is what I do, until I am done. I always think to myself that if I like it, then I will try out other classes more than just what I had experienced during the beta, but I never get to that point.
In short,
positives :
negatives : (not necessarily related to season)
Bugs -
Final thoughts -
Still, S4 is overall a very good change. Best so far

2024.05.21 21:25 LaMi_1 Here we're witnessing the birth of the Erdtree (DLC Theory)

Both Hidetaka Miyazaki and the official Japanese site have been a lot explicit about this info: the Land of Shadow is the place where the Erdtree was born and Marika became a goddess. These can be two separated events, but considering what we saw in this recent Story Trailer, I think they are connected. Whatever betrayal or blasphemy is happened here, the trailer is showing us it's been the cornerstone for both Marika’s ascension and the creation(?) of the Erdtree.
https://preview.redd.it/6doy6khirt1d1.jpg?width=2224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b7f0b0f0a4e9daff6d405eca788f1c564c468608
The Story Trailer with the original Japanese subtitles states that it begun "with temptation and betrayal", and that was "the birth of the Gold and also the birth of the Shadow". One can believe that "gold" here is used to talk about Grace, but in JPN the Erdtree is called "Golden Tree" (黄金樹). Why is this relevant? Because, if we always refer to one of the latest interviews with Hidetaka Miyazaki, we shall discover the main rotten tree in this DLC is literally called Shadow of the Erdtree (黄金樹の影, "Shadow of the Golden Tree"), or simply called "Shadowtree" (影樹). And so, here the trailer states that betrayal, that "temptation", it gave birth "to the Gold and also to the Shadow". To me, it's definitely talking about the Erdtree and its counterpart, this "Shadowtree".
Now, how do we know this person is Marika, and not someone else entirely? Ignoring the long blond hair and the floating veils of her long dress, at the beginning the camera zooms over the wrist, and the "mysterious entity" wears a spiraling bracelet, which looks EXACTLY like the ones the Eternal Queen wears.
https://preview.redd.it/ma51oijftt1d1.jpg?width=2224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=01867d33e5b7f1a22c659f6ec9bd83b225b85d62

And in this trailer we see Marika picking something from... a covered corpse, I guess? Could this golden trail be a fragment of the Elden Ring? My assumption comes from the fact that the official sites state the Erdtree sprouted from the Elden Ring (and we get indirect evidences of this in-game, since when the Elden Ring got shattered, the Erdtree got ruined too) and if this scene depicts the creation of the Erdtree (and of its Shadow), then this sort of golden thread must be part of the original Ring.
https://preview.redd.it/6nf98wlvut1d1.jpg?width=2224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b22225d96cf9f2078f500a3889c01804d81253d6
And what about the piles of corpses Marika's walking upon (barefeet, also 👀)? I've seen some speculating this huge pulp of flesh is the Crucible, but theoretically the Crucible is the "primordial Golden tree" or "the Golden tree of the beginning".
Greatshield painted in gold (金装の大盾): "Metal greatshield painted in gold, feature of the knights who followed Godrick. The picture depicts the beginning of the Golden Tree. It has a red tinge, which is a nostalgic color.
Siluria's arboreal spear (シルリアの樹槍): "(...) The spear replicates the aspect of the Crucible, which is the beginning of the Golden Tree, closer to Life itself. It preserves its ancient sacred nature."
So what if she's upon a pile of corpses, performing a ritual to use them as material to create her Erdtree? If we look at the scene, it's like the threads of Gold is stretching over the two piles at her sides. What if this golden power is "stitching" the bodies together? If so, then I was right about the terrible secret the Land of Shadow is hiding.

So many questions, but one thing is sure: I'm so hyped for Shadow of the Erdtree.

2024.05.21 21:18 Yani-Madara List of clues that Dottore could be morally grey

-Disclaimer: This is an examination of Dottore being a complex morally grey villain that wasn't just born 100% evil, it's NOT a case that he's a good boy.-
I'll assume Zandik is Dottore since it's very likely (plus, someone tried to name their Wanderer that but it didn't work.)
Let's start with the oldest piece of lore:
-- Doctor's Pinion reveals a tragic past with unknown reasons for persecution --
When Pierro first tried to recruit Zandik / Dottore, he responded:
"Will you treat me like the Akademiya did? Will you call me a monster, a madman?" "Or will you treat me as my hometown did, and chase me away with pitchforks and clubs...?"
Some people assume the persecution was because of his experiments but it's important to note that the fact is we don't know what happened so there's a chance it wasn't something evil. That he could be chased away by "pitchforks and clubs" indicates he was weak at that point and couldn't do anything to stop it.
He also expresses a desire to merge humans with machines.
"With or without a Vision, and irrespective of their physique or combat skills,"Enhanced humans" would surely display strength far beyond the average."
This shows a desire to give power to the weak (likely including himself), even if they lack visions. Which isn't inherently a bad thing, it's just against the Akademiya's teachings. This applies even to Scaramouche, whose power had been locked by Raiden and he unlocked it.
-- Mysterious moral convictions --
Although a lot of the fandom accuses him of having no ethics or morals at all, there are several hints that this isn't the case.
He got mad at Scaramouche when told: "you only care about your crazy experiments" and told Nahida he has "his own convictions, we just don't share them" which were both conveniently not further explained. There is also the Jeht quest incident but i'll discuss it later on.
-- Eleazar hospital notes --
To briefly summarize the notes, he cured a patient using another dead patient's remains. His treatment was harsh but successful. These notes read like a Dr. House script, Dottore not giving a crap about the patient's religious beliefs included.
Abbas had a terrible ending because he had developed insanity and ran away. Zandik/ Dottore left a note warning not to let him go but it seems the staff didn't listen.
These notes align with how plague doctors were misunderstood and feared in real life. This motif was incorporated into his video game iteration, replacing the joker / clown persona.
Some people interpreted these notes as "Dottore murders and mutilates people that are alive for experiments" but there's no indication of that.
-- Aranara experiment notes --
These are the worst by far. It's unclear if the "subjects" were people with Eleazar or healthy people exposed to the withering for tests. It has to be pointed out that it seems the actions were done by his subordinates since it's likely Dottore reprimanding them at the end:
"This is a waste of resources. It is advisable to watch over the subjects' mental state in the next experiment and avoid exposing them to extreme environments... Lab Lead on duty: ████"
Yes, this sounds bad but it's proof he isn't a sadist that enjoys watching pain.
It also means he is higher in a moral standpoint than characters like Jack Horner. These type of characters don't care or enjoy deaths with the pretext of "we can always get more lackeys."
-- During the Jeht quest --
Froderock (a subordinate of Dottore) wants to capture an eremite. It is stated he is acting on his own and that Dottore gave an order not to kidnap eremites.
A note by another Fatui member states that Froderock is going to get killed for going against the order. We can theorize that the Harbinger himself would kill him. There's also a line about "following military regulations" which means his subordinates operate under a code and can't just kidnap people for experiments for the lols.
Fatui Negotiator: Professor Froderock was looking for live specimens in the desert — he always defied The Doctor's orders... That's just pure jealousy, if you ask me
...I urge you to consider, Captain Zoya, that if we are able to complete this research work in the desert, perhaps our entire expeditionary force may receive the favor of our great Harbinger... (This line has been crossed out using a red pen, and a line in red has been added: "How about you consider military regulations? Or perhaps you would like to consider how long you have left to live?")
A similar thing happened with Arlecchino in the Fortune Slip quest in Inazuma. Subordinates of her were acting on their own by following the previous Knave's teachings to make some orphans for the House.
-- *Time of Insight Artifact * --
It mentions a "mad scientist expelled by the akademia" and the text under it seems to be Dottore speaking.
The last part says:
"Those sellswords (Eremites) once did much for me. I trust they will not disappoint this time, either."
Combining Jeht quest with this makes it seem that eremites helped Dottore in some way and he is fond enough of them to slaughter a subordinate that brings them harm.
The following text seems to be Dottore's reason to want to capture Aranaras:
"The dream had to be captured — along with the inhabitants of the forest who could control dreams, To remind that friend once again of one's own form and the memories that were shared.
If the organ that governs memory has taken too much damage and cannot be healed, Then bring another old friend and dwell in dreams of the past together, Play in a small tree house, and explore the limitless depth of the jungle. Yes, that would be nice as well. For in dreams, everyone has a chance to start over."
I couldn't find more info about this "friend". It seems to be someone who suffered the effects of erosion or death, or an aranara that lost their memory.
-- Al Haitham's SQ --
Alhaitham: (To Siraj / the villain, after praising his intelligence)
"You would never let a test subject escape. Mistakes like that are beneath you, and you also won't leave any mistake without a resolution."
This is relevant because we know Dottore is canonically smarter than Siraj yet he didn't hunt down Collei (Barnabas is the one that traumatized and wanted to kill her), Abbas or Scara. It's a known thing there's a Fatui code that traitors and deserters are executed to avoid spilling secrets. Dottore leaves even Scara alone, you may argue that he was lazy but suspiciously Childe, who during Labyrinth Warriors was chasing Scara, soon appeared in Inazuma in a photo taking event, leaving for Snezhnaya, after Scara lost his gnosis.
It was never explained why Childe was chasing him to take away the Gnosis yet suddenly Scara appeared with Dottore without Childe. This is suspicious because Childe loves to fight, to the point he wanted to fight Arle while recovering on her SQ. He didn't even show up to finish off Scaramouche at the end.
To play Devil's advocate, it could also be Scaramouche is a part of some unknown plan too and nothing to do with mercy.
-- Dottore's speech to Niwa --
Taking into account Nahida's story that says: "the monster found solace in the kitten", the black bird referring to himself as "a monstrosity yet they are too foolish to see it" and Dottore's lines to Pierro:
"Will you call me a monster, a madman?"
Dottore sees himself as an inhuman monster. It puts into question if the following line wasn't just about Scaramouche and is actually a metaphor of Dottore speaking about his past:
"Escher: Even without you, that pure, innocent puppet would only end up being used by someone else instead. What other reason would a human have for befriending one who is not of our kind?"
Although Dottore refers to himself as "human", the two lines I quoted previously contradict this. Mentally he sees himself as not human (to the point of finding solace in a living puppet), even though his words say otherwise. There is also a chance this Dottore was no longer human at all, the Nahida story shows the monster bird had tiny floating birds around, even though he hadn't studied Scaramouche to create the segments.
There is also a stark contrast between Dottore joining the Fatui expresing concern over been rejected again yet he is embracing his monster persona in the Niwa scene.
"Escher: Think of me as a monster or a demon, if you wish... "
It could be a sign of a person with trauma who steered into an evil path. Kept getting called a monster until he accepted it.
There could be many reasons for the change, besides being used, -incoming pure speculation- he could have experimented on himself to have less emotions or taking this quote into account: "everyone has a chance to start over in dreams" he believes he can commit atrocities and it won't matter because he plans to do a reset somehow.
" The Doctor: Jester, I have completed the task you gave me. Creating a gap and infiltrating Inazuma's inner workings... Heh, what fun it was. The Doctor: I'd like to introduce a puppet to you. If he proves useful, let's make him our newest comrade. And if not... let's turn him to dust."
The bold part is more clues of either future Scara related scheming or Dottore's words are an act, mercy was shown when he became useless. It also seems that Pierro stirred him into a darker path.
I wouldn't say it's confirmation that Pierro is pure evil because we barely know anything about him, there's a chance it was for some greater good since that's a trend with the Harbingers.
-- Possible Sohreh murder --
At first glance, it seems way too obvious that Zandik did it, it's like watching a murder mystery movie and the first suspect is a red herring.
Since people frequently incorrectly state: "Dottore murdered a girl while they were having a picnic" like a fact, I'm going to make a deep dive into these notes:
First there is no clear motive for him killing Sohreh. (Niwa had a purpose.)
attack of Rishboland Tigers. In need of first aid..."
The bold part implies she was still alive while Zandik was dealing with the Ruin Guard. The broken bone didn't happen during the picnic while he was alone with her. She was declared dead and buried after the attack, she could have been killed during it while everyone was distracted.
-Does the Akademiya think that Zandik is responsible?-
There is a message board that says he was investigated over her murder.
The lack of motive combined with Zandik only receiving negative consequences from saving the team makes me think he was framed and acted on impulse / emotion when saving them or he turned it on to spook the tigers and it accidentally killed her.
Why? He could have just ran away and let everyone die to not reveal he was hiding ruin guard knowledge. Which he expressed on the notes that he didn't want the rest to know:
"I am going to take them (Ruin guards) apart, and record the size and shape one by one...
...But first of all, this secret must not be revealed to the other team members..."
...Thank goodness, Zandik reacted quickly. Otherwise, the whole team would be in serious trouble..."
-Some people argue that "running away and letting everyone die would have been too suspicious so he saved them."
It's more likely he was just a weak regular human at that point in his life so it wouldn't have been too suspicious to run away / he actually risked his life to shut it down.-
The 2 burned notes both state: "Someone seems to have burnt the contents in a hurry" it could have been the person trying to frame him. One of them is a note about the Ruin Guards and has Zandik's signature, they may have wanted to steal credit of his research.
-Regarding who framed Dottore, u/Sandflow_23 commented an excellent theory
lt seems Zandik didn't care much about Sohreh's death since he proceeded to ask the team to take back the Ruinguard while she was bleeding but the Eleazar hospital notes come after this incident. Was this his first instance of curing people?
Did being unable to save someone influence him in some way? It may just be coincidental but it's worth taking note. I'm trying to look at all possibilities.
People usually see Sohreh's note as "she learned Dottore's secret so he murdered her" But something I haven't seen discussed is how there is also a chance he trusted her and decided to open up to people more. Previously he said studying Ruinguards could get him kicked out but after the following note by Sohreh, he decided to try to convince his team to take back the ruin guard:
"...Zandik was attracted by the ancient machines left behind by some civilization here...
We had a great time and decided to go on a picnic tonight..."
Finally, to play Devil's Advocate: it seems he also had another secret mission that was never explained.
"...It's a shame that documents regarding its (the giant golem's) energy supply systems have been lost, and I have far too important a mission to accomplish to afford to start from scratch. If not..."
He could have killed her because she learned that secret but it's still weird that he'd go and choke her with people focused on him speaking about Ruinguard studies.
-- Arle SQ --
Lyney said "he proposed the direction of the research " for the bottled flames. That he wants to give people "a chance to start over" was also hinted in Time of Insight artifact. I won't be surprised if it turns out most of the injured kids he took from Crucabena are actually fine. The Eremites, which he didn't want his subordinates to kidnap, were also healthy, so this is another instance of him seeking to work with weak people to give them power. I'm NOT denying there's a chance he wants to use it for some other plan like burning the tree like other Redditors have proposed
Finally, there remains the question of which Dottore would be playable. I predict the original or Omega. (Knocking off the angelic new segment theory)
We don't know if the original is alive, since Raiden destroyed her physical body (and the segments were based on Scaramouche) he could be dead BUT giving a kill switch to Omega may have a deeper meaning. Like those fragments of his mind from dead segments will re-materialize in an empty segment or object his soul is bound to or go back to Omega and change his personality, the former sounds like FullMetal Alchemist but a Remuria quest confirms this is a thing in Genshin.
Finally done, sorry if this is ridiculously long but I wanted to provide quotes to sustain the arguments, especially since some people hate him so much based on mostly misinformation.

2024.05.21 21:09 OoDannyBoy Need help knowing how to affix light sculptures in a tree!

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but figure you all know a lot about trees! I am making an art work for a 60' tree that will involve attaching semipermanent (hope to last 5 years) light sculptures, the sculptures will range in weight from 5-15 lbs. Just curious about ideas you all might have to attach them to the tree that will not harm it, but can also be strong enough to make it through snow, winds, rain ect and guarantee reasonably that they won't fall. Ideally I would like there to be a variety of mounting points, branches and trunk , like you might decorate a Christmas tree. Also if you all know of a better place to ask this question let me know! Thanks so much!

2024.05.21 20:51 sk1ttlebr0w Career hamster wheel - need to get off

My background has been in supply chain for 10+ years; mainly as a freight broker but I've also held other operational roles such as services coordinator, import/export coordinator, purchasing coordinator and logistics coodinator both on the 3PL and customer side - the latter of which I'm currently doing (also I work for a small, family-owned company, so I get other, unrelated tasks delegated to me as they come). As you can see, that's a lot of coordination. Coordination doesn't move the needle financially, and I'm already feeling capped out at around $65k/year in my area.
My current role is with a recycling company. I deal with a lot of companies in the paper and plastics industry, as well as other companies looking to get rid of their waste materials, so dealing with a lot of sustainability directors and people in those fields. As I stated above, my title is Logistics Coordinator, but I also export inventory reports, run/create tonnage reports in Excel, call on haulers to see if they have more inventory to bring in, send out purchase orders and confirm PPI pricing, operate our on-site truck scale, etc as well as my normal logistics duties. My company doesn't have any direct positions available for upward mobility. My boss is only 6 years older than me.
My goal is to make as much money as I possibly can right now and make myself more desirable going forward. Ideally, I'd like to be earning just at or above $100k (not a hard set amount, but I'd at least like to get to $85-$90k) working remotely for roughly 40-50 hours per week max. I'm also open to a hybrid schedule as well as being on-site if the prices is right. The bulk of my experience is with brokering freight, but I absolutely hate that line of work and couldn't see myself doing it for the rest of my career. Since I'm working in the recycling industry, my idea is that my experience will be worth the most there. I'm not opposed to taking a small paycut to jump into a new industry, but my issue in the past is getting discontent quickly and not being able to see the forest through the trees so to speak (i.e. thinking I'm getting stuck in another dead end role with no advancement opportunity). I'm interested in extracurricular learning - I've looked into and am fully on board with getting an ASCM cert (CSCP or CPIM most likely). I've already completed the Google Data Analytics cert, and I'm pretty good with Excel, know a little bit of SQL, but don't have a portfolio started yet.
This year has been rough for applications. I've put out a ton, but haven't gotten many replies. I've had 1 phone interview and 1 webcam interview; both for entry level positions that were paying slightly less than what I'm making now. I have boiled my issues down to 3 things potentially:
  1. My resume looks shitty
  2. My interview answers aren't great - particularly on the "Describe a time when you.." questions. I feel as though maybe my STAR method isn't very strong.
  3. I'm asking for too much money
So that's it in a nutshell. If you've stuck around this long, I appreciate you. Any help is appreciated :-).

2024.05.21 20:20 ooyayeeyee Strawberry and pine scent?

Sometimes when I’m biking in the woods in a forest that has a lot of pine trees ( think Christmas!!) I always find it is accompanied by this sweet strawberry smell. I was wondering if there was a perfume with those notes? Or just a fruity/sweet pine scent would be awesome!

SHOES

I have a certain process with shoe orders to best serve you, the consumer. The following is a breakdown of important things to note:
  • CONDITION: All shoes are in pristine deadstock condition, fit TTS and complete with their original boxes and laces unless otherwise specified.
  • PRICING: Pricing is determined by the acquisition cost (batch), convenience of domestic shipping, popularity and subjective assessment of quality.
  • DESCRIPTIONS: Anything of necessary note will be provided in imgur albums to highlight any notable features. If none exist, assume I see no issues of note and consider both condition and quality to be of solid note reflective of its pricing.
  • BATCH VARIABILITY: Please note that due to batch restocks and material supply constraints, I cannot guarantee a specific batch will have equivalent materials to oldenewer restocks. Therefore, I'm no longer listing the batch name. However, I'm here to provide my best interpretation + the batch supplier claims it is upon request. Typically, price is reflective of whether its a high quality batch or lower quality.
  • ORDERING PROCESS: The pictures provided are an accurate representation of the item you'll receive, specific to your pair. Please include the specific size and pair letter desired (i.e. Size 11, Pair B, Basketball 1 Black Toebox) and I'll ensure that will be the exact pair ordered.

2024.05.21 20:02 Bones_Alone Unmovable trees should grow akin to Clash of clans!

If you have any uncovered space, a tree, bush, mushroom, or tall grass could grow in that spot. It could act like the other trees and change with the seasons or if it’s not a tree it could die and come back. They could also implement clash’s holiday growths like Christmas trees, cakes, pumpkins
