Rate My Climbing Aloe

This climbing aloe has been in its pot for a couple of years. It lives inside during the cooler months and outside in the sun during the warm ones. It had a trellis until today when I removed it due to the plant not really climbing the trellis.

I'm thinking a couple things to improve the situation here:

  1. Repot it into something broader but not as deep, unless the roots are that deep.
  2. Perhaps a bit better drainage.
  3. A trellis that's closer to the plants height, can handle the weight, and isn't 6 feet tall.

What's your rating? Thoughts on how to improve this situation?

Is this FM over-modulation?

Listening to a local repeater and the waterfall display shows some pretty wide modulation whenever the repeater is in use. If I'm showing +/- 50kHz on the scope then the repeater's bandwidth is frequently 20+ even 60+ kHz.

Given that FM voice bandwidth is typically less than 15 kHz, this would indicate a failure somewhere on the repeater tx side of things right?

Recommendations for lightweight wiki servers?
  • You said you liked the look of wiki.js but didn't say what you didn't like (unless I was missed it). Why not just use wiki.js? If you want permissions you'll likely end up with other features like editing too.

  • Why does my bread do this?
  • The crust is drying and stiffening. Then the inside keeps expanding until the crust can't hold in the pressure any more. Poof! The crust pops open and you get the partial ear pictured. I'd call it a good thing because your dough is rising while baking. In order to have a bit more control of it try scoring it in various ways.

  • What's up with I-Bond interest rates for bonds issued in April/October?

    Picture taken straight from my account at TreasuryDirect. I know that i-bond interest rates reset every 6 months but it looks like bonds issued in April and October get special treatment? Seeing this, I'm not sure why I wouldn't just make two purchases a year, only in April and October, and reap almost double the gains? I feel like I'm missing something obvious here.
