false dichotomy

I got ghosted by my last therapist, after I missed ONE appointment due to the very issues I was trying to get treated. Fucking asshole.

The one thing a desert has that plants need and that’s in short supply in most homes is sunlight. We’re basically living in caves and desert plants are definitely not well-adapted for low-light-conditions (in contrast to forest plants).

I see the value in it, I just suck at it.

Same here. Pretty great, summer is so overrated!

Wärst du glücklich, wenn du eine Weinschorle bestellst und Wein mit Tonic Water bekommst? Nenn das doch Espresso Tonic oder sowas.

Das würde implizieren, dass da Kohlensäure drin ist.

“you jerk with your left hand” wow, such embarassing. What will the neighbors think??

Honestly I’d need to see them in the same position anyway. Angles can be wildly deceiving for arms.

It’s used correctly IMO. You could argue that they’re factually wrong, but it’s not meant figuratively as far as I can tell.

They wither eventually if you never water them, too.

Does it? OCR is still pretty bad, it’s definitely going to be more annoying than plaintext. It might be worth it, but that doesn’t really make it that much less of a pain in the ass to deal with. You might need to use symbols that aren’t alphanumeric (along the lines of QR codes) to make the conversion to plaintext more reliable. I don’t think we have something like that right now.

Nonono, the price of everything goes up first, and then you get a pay raise that doesn’t even cover the inflation rate even though unions are a thing in your country and you were literally striking.

“also, fuck them kids”

What if you start sending encrypted letters and don’t write your name on it anywhere? Though that would definitely be annoying for the recipient.

Neat! But I doubt that most people who overwater houseplants will be able to keep up with a plant that needs daily watering …

Is hard water something that many houseplants struggle with? I always lived in places with pretty hard water, I wonder if that contributes to the low houseplant survival rate in my home.

My home is a place of natural selection for house plants. Occasionally someone gifts me a plant, most of them die within months. So far, spider plants are by far the best-adapted to the conditions in my home, they thrive.

I assume the big issue is that it’s too dark, or that I don’t water regularly enough. Apparently spider plants are particularly resistant to draught due to thick, water-retaining roots, grow relatively fast and easily grow offshoots.

Cacti would probably do well, too, but I don’t want plants in my home that you can injure yourself with. It’s also why I don’t like roses.

Huh, isn’t rent-seeking the basis of capitalism?

80% Ausschuss ist schon recht absurd. Ist das echt nicht möglich, die Produktion zu verbessern? Die Rohmaterialien für Uhren sollten eigentlich auch vergleichsweise teuer sein.

The Nazis still built the first functioning rocket weapon and the first manmade object in space.
