I live in the PNW near Seattle, but because it is summertime, nighttime temperatures are consistently above 10 degrees celsius and daytime temperatures are around 27.

It started looking like this several months ago when it prepared to flower and it was still indoors for the winter. I put it outside and the condition kept deteriorating. The fruit also seems to not be getting any bigger.

About nine months ago when I planted it I filled the pot with potting soil and about two months ago my mum covered it with sand to keep water in or something. She raises a lot of houseplants so I assumed she was experienced on this matter.

I water it about every three days with about 250 ml water and a few drops of MiracleGro (it also occasionally rains). I read that to help iron deficiencies people put rusty nails into the soil so I stuck some old screws into the soil.

Is it the sand? I have a sneaking suspicion it is the sand.

I currently know how the circle of fifths works and how different modes work.

Most YT content regarding music theory seems to either cover only the really basic stuff or focus on applications of music theory like special cool chord progressions instead of explaining how stuff like harmony actually works. Can yall guide me toward some easily accessible content that will help me learn on a conceptual level what is next, after keys and modes?

Im doing a bit of worldbuilding involving some molluscs in an alkaline lake. ~~I read that plastics are resistant to base corrosion and later that some plastics such as polyethylene can be produced using organic materials such as ethanol from fermentation. I was thinking that these molluscs could ferment consumed plants and produce polyethylene in their bodies to create a base-resistant shell that would help them survive.~~ (old content) Along with some other adaptations, I am wondering if they could viably develop shells made of a material resistant to base corrosion and would like some real life examples.

My high school is known for being sweaty because it has IB but also people use AI all the time here, to the extent that “chatgpt” is used as a verb. Unfortunately my classmates just want to get through their work as easily and possible and grab the diploma.

I tried to convince several people to not use AI or at LEAST use a different one from chatgpt, but I generally only got good results from people who were not taking very difficult classes. The more popular lot of Advanced Learning people even brushed me off as a “larper” when I tried talking to them about this.

How should I get more people to be willing to see chatgpt as something besides the easy way?
