I've read everything I can find on this and I'm still confused.

I'm doing the T-Rex model: https://www.greathobbies.com/manuals/f/fsc/fsc99_instructions.pdf

Step 1 shows the engraved side of the skull on the inside. But the texture of the skull clearly goes on the outside of the skull as per the 360 view (https://www.metalearth.com/360/mms099) and also based on the where the tabs are on the part.

I'm coming to the conclusion the "top" of the metal sheet (the view of the sheet you get in the instructions) is the non-engraved side, which actually has all the etchings on it. Is this correct or am I missing something? It

r/spicy•

I like Lao Gan Ma and I wanted to make something like it at home. From browsing Reddit there seemed to be a clear preference for Brian Langerstrom's recipe so I made that. I honestly don't care for it. The addition of honey is a mistake as I don't like the sweetness at all. The honey ruined it for me so much I don't plan to use it. It's also a bit too salty and hardly spicy.

Given that, what would be a good recipe to try next?

I have a 12x20ft pergola covered in passion flower vines. It took several years to fully grow in. Over the last two weeks, caterpillars have eaten every single leaf. The vines are starting to turn brown. What are the odds this growa/s back? How can I prevent this from happening again.

I'm also not sure how the caterpillars are doing. There are certainly some cacoons but I'm seeing hundreds of dead caterpillars all over the ground. Did they run out of food and die?

I've been seeing a ton of caterpillars all season. This week, I've got a ton of little orange caterpillars that have eaten all the passionflower vines on my pergola. This type of caterpillar has been around a while but they've exploded in quantity recently and gone to town on my plants the past few days. I hope these are beneficial.

I had a greenstalk tower filled with some random strawberries I bought as roots on Amazon. It's been going for the last 5 years. It never produced amazing but did ok during early spring. Unfortunately my automatic watering failed this year and it all died.

I want to replant it. What's the best strawberries for Austin? Maybe I could do a few types? I know they crisp up and barely survive during summer, that's ok.

Also is fall a good time to plant and get established or should I wait until spring?

r/ReefTank•

I have a basic reef tank. No fancy dosing, just water changes. Simple stuff like mushrooms and zoas have done great in this tank. Photosynthetic gorgonian do ok. LPS has not done well.

My pom pom xenia escaped its rock island last year and is now covering about 80% of the rockwork. I'm mostly fine with that, but would like to have diversity in the tank too.

My current thinking is putting in things that are as aggressive as the xenia. Perhaps leather corals, BTAs, etc.

Any thoughts?

I have a free app that is 99% free. There are 3 features that are mainly for a professional level user where I charge a $5/mo subscription with a free 7-day trial. I have plenty of paid users, healthy churn rates, etc.

On iOS, I have a near 5 star rating and good reviews.

On Android, I have a 3.5 star rating. The only bad reviews are people complaining that the app isn't 100% free. Most of my 5 star reviews are people responding to those reviews, saying they don't get why people are complaining about it as the app is useful without a paid plan and also worth the $5 if you need it. It's sort of weird.

I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this sort of situation and whether you've fo

I run a free service which has a map on the website. I've got a location auto complete powered by MapBox. At my current scale, I'm spending $150/mo on that location search box.

It looks like long term, hosting a Photon server myself might be the best option as I keep scaling, but that's going to cost me $300/mo on Hetzner plus require management.

In the meantime, any suggestions for cheaper location autocomplete services?

r/reactnative•

I'm finally translating my react-native app for iOS and Android. I'm realizing the app localization is actually the easy part and I also need to localize my screenshots, app store description, etc.

Are there any tools that make this easier to manage in a central location?

Ideally screenshot generation is automated including captions and I'm not copy/pasting translations into the app store listings.

I'm already using CrowdIn for translations if that makes a difference.

As I understand it, it's legal to drive a vehicle without registration as long as you're driving it to/from getting it inspected for the purpose of obtaining registration. It has me curious, if a police pulled you over for lack of registration, I assume they'd normally have probable cause. But what happens when they find out you're driving it legally for the purpose of obtaining an inspection? Does the probable cause still stand or does it go away?
