Sure, it may sound bad when children become homeless. But have you ever thought about how much money it saves? Just think of all the good things we can afford with all that money!

Like anti-homeless park benches. Or those little speakers that emit ultra-high-pitched sounds so that young people don't … enjoy … existing somewhere or something, idk.

And just because I'm unable to actually satirize reality at the moment, yes, /s

Protoarc. I think it's the same guys who produce the "gameball" trackball. With cheaper sensors and switches, I'd guess.

Trackballs and vertical trackballs.

Not only are they better for my wrists and allow extremely fast movements in-game, but also this:

Keep in mind that more surface area usually means more bacteria. Afaik there's is nothing wrong with the usual changable filters (although there are a few horrid ones).

But many private households tend to underestimate how dirty these things get, even after a short time.

Since water supplied by the municipality is usually fine and most bad stuff happens as a last-mile problem, I shower in the morning (which I have to do anyway, but it also flushes most pipes) and then wash out a large stainless steel beaker before filling it up and drinking from it for most of the day.

Have you considered that we could reduce the number of lanes available and fuck some of our customers?

Isn't it mostly 9*10+2? 9 * ty (implying 10) + 2.

Even german does that, although weirdly the way you can't just write down long numbers reasily one by one: Zwei (2) und ((and) neun- (9) -zig (*10)).

Half-Life Alyx looks fantastic. It's a modern but faithful representation of the Half-Life universe. You can jump from HL2 to Alyx and feel like you're part of the same narrative and story. Even though there are almost two decades in between.

Half-Life RTX has more polygons, higher-resolution textures and a much more resource-hungry lighting system. The entire Half-Life universe was cast as a cameo to star in another guys remake.

Wenn bei der Wahl was anderes raus kommt setze ich mich hin und erzähle wildes Verschwörungskauderwelsch. Macht mein Alter ja nichts anders.

"Ich kenne keinen, der nicht die AfD gewählt hat." Die eigenen Kinder kennt der nicht. lol

 

I finally managed to pollinate my cherimoya!

For the uninitiated: Pollinating cherimoyas is a bit tricky, because their flowers only bloom for a single day. During this time, they are initially female and can absorb pollen, but only turn male in the evening to harvest pollen from.

To pollinate them successfully, you have to sacrifice at least one flower, take its pollen and hope that the next flower opens before the pollen is no longer viable.

They also develop large velvety leaves:

TLDR: Citrus keeps turning black and oozing resin. But I can't find the problem. I thought it must be root rot, but they look perfectly healthy:

Long version: Because my first and second citrus trees fell victim to root rot, I started using a very airy substrate made of pine bark, perlite and some humus/worm castings in a 5:1:1 ratio for all my plants (figs, pineapple, cherimoya, monstera, etc.) with little adjustment. You may recognize this as 'aroid mix'. But it works surprisingly well in my indoor space with a west-facing window and terracotta planters (and my tendency to overwater).

But I can't wrap my head around citrus.

It always starts with rapid growth, followed by very suddenly dropping and crisping leaves, black stems and finally death.

I thought I must be root rot again, which I need to mind during winter. But today, when I dumped my fifth (!) tree, I found only perfectly healthy roots and nice smelling substrate.

I think it must be a pathogen… but what? I am at a loss. I keep killing my citrus trees and I don't know why. :'(

EDIT: replaced "5:1:1 mix" with "5:1:1 ratio" for clearification.

One of my smaller monstera pots keeps growing these little mushrooms and I'm wondering what exactly they are.

They come after every watering and dry off pretty quickly in about half a day or so.

EDIT: They are 'fairy inkcaps'. Thanks to [email protected]!
