    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 de…

    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 …

    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…

    Winter root growth is widely-observed amongst people who work with tree roots annually (bonsai hobbyists and professionals, commercial ornamental tree growers, especially propagati…

    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 Unr…

    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 kno…

    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 B…

    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 te…

    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…

    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 th…

    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 …

    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…

    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 l…
