LongBeachSurfFreak Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 flowering cherry trees should all be cut down and replaced with nativesThis is true. They are super invasive. They are all over the NY Botanical garden in some of the old growth patches. (The majority of the forest is second growth but there is some old growth in the Bronx river ravine). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastern Redbud is a better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongBeachSurfFreak Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 While I agree in principle, most of the non-native flowering cherries are sterile. Eastern Redbud is a better choice.The newer cultivars are sterile but the originals where brought over before anyone put any thought into invasive potential. There are saplings allllll over the place in NYBG and they are actively trying to eradicate them. Red bud is a great tree but weak in storms so not really suited to coastal locations. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Star Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 FREE Weather Wizard III. I dont know if this is allowable within the regulations of this site. If not, many pardons. I wish to give away an unused Weather Wizard III as my moving away gift to anyone on the forum. Older technology, so maybe it can just be used for parts? I prefer not to ship. I live in Garwood NJ 07027. Never Used!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a related note, it occurred to me just this morning that we are closer to the start of the 2026 fall foliage season than to last year's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 With OpenAI releasing Images 2.0, I decided to test it to make a poster depicting Winter 2025-2026. I used four of my photos and provided some content. I then prompted it to create a poster based on the images and textual content. Here's what it came up with: I also did the same with five photos I took at the New York Botanical Garden and The Cloisters. I asked for a highly creative arrangement where the tulip photos would comprise a tulip. All said, Image 2.0 is far more advanced than the preceding version. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 The Washington Post has a feature story concerning prediction markets. Far from this form of betting providing insight into the future, the Post's article suggests manipulation through massive numbers of automated transactions of 1 million or more transactions (roughly one every 3 seconds). If so, the prediction value is limited, as perceptions are created to back a given narrative disconnected from actual probabilities (an issue that is much less present in large, deep markets where handfuls of accounts lack the capacity to manipulate prices in most cases). As transactions in any buying-selling decision influence prices, these automated trades almost certainly have a price impact and, in the process, give their users a qualitative advantage by creating a skewed perception about the future. Not mentioned, but also a consideration, is the possession and use of inside information. Examples where such information might have been involved range from large trades shortly before President made tariff-related announcements e.g., postponing their implementation, and the recent military operation to remove President Maduro from Venezuela (one special forces soldier involved in the operation had placed large bets).

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Totally agree but he's usually looking for cold/snow so interesting he thinks warm and snowlessI mean it’s a pretty easy forecast. This is a close the blinds winter for snow lovers. Not every super times a big storm with cold like 82/83 and 15/16. Without that it’s warm pac air with a few modified continental polar cool shots. . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
