it even has a tutor
Yeah, people are just lazy. I remember when I invented a new login screen and was told it was “difficult”, “confusing” and “took some getting used to”.
It even came with a free 100-page manual and a 4-hour master class. Some people, I tell you!
^This is meant more as a joke than an actual critique, even if it kind of reflects my thoughts. But ultimatly, I thought it was a funny bit.^
The initial comment resonated so much with me, that I feel the need to answer, even though I wasn’t even asked: YES
A few years ago I was in a really dark place. I lost 3 kg in 2 months and when I wasn’t at work, I was lying in my bed on the verge of crying, half-listening to YouTube just to scare the thoughts away.
But the thing, that finally got me out of the loop, was getting myself a houseplant, after watching a plant YouTuber for a while. And when I got home, rather than cry, I obsessively cleaned every speck of dust off the leaves, measured the soil moisture with a stick and just watched it be. And something just clicked inside me and I realized that I had found something I wanted to do; probably forever, if given the chance.
Still have the same plant; cut, repotted and propagated. And while I’m at a much better place now - physically, mentally, financially - just thinking about giving that (houseplants) up feels like going back.
Funnily enough, it’s my least troublesome plant.
I got it as a impulse purchase. But the novelty only lasted a few weeks, so I pretty much dismissed it and put it in the bathroom to get more space for plants I liked better. But it endured for a entire year, thanklessly and without a single complaint. No pests, no fertilizer issues, no water problems, no rot or anything. And then it put put it’s first flowers aswell.
This one really clawed it’s way back into my heart and I consider one of my favorite plants by now. It really earned it.
It’s currently in my bathroom, which is clean but still not very sighty. And I’m currently trying to kinda trellis it as it has become quite unwieldy and I can’t really move it much without risking it.
But I’m planning to relocate it after pruning next spring. As soon as the leaves have grown back, there will definitely be pictures! :D
It would help if you had some pictures of the leaves before they fell
At first they stay green (even the fallen ones). But as the tree keeps declining, some will turn brown along the edges, in an inverted v-shape, starting from the tip.
Temperature stress is something I’ll have to look into. Thank you!
I’m sorry, the “5:1:1 mix” was referring to 5 parts pine, 1 part perlite, 1 part humus / worm castings.
The ferilizer changes throughout the year. But it’s mostly 4-3-6, with some 5-1-4 in early spring, and some chelates, when I feel the plant needs them.
It just realized that, as a furry, I really don’t like furry men, only furry men.
What the hell.
Ich hätte den Schienenverkehr gerne als Service. Genauso, wie die Parkplätze, Autobahn oder auch Müllabfuhr. Das ist alles teuer, aber da beschwert sich irgendwie keiner drüber, weil’s ein Service ist.

Das ist so unglaublich frustrierend, weil’s schon ewig dieselbe Thematik ist, aber irgendwie tut sich nix. Hab nicht mal Lust wieder 12 Absätze mit nuancierten Einzelpunkten wiederzukäuen. ._.
I had something similar with my monstera.
Personally, I aim for the biggest leaves I can. So I air-layered it at the newest node, and when I was sure it had enough roots (so it wouldn’t get shocked), I replanted it with a plank.
I really underestimated how much roots the plant needed, but it has since caught on, is throwing out nice new leaves and is climbing well.
I also made a few single node cuttings that I will probably have to give away at some point.
1l of (4°C) water weighs 1kg. 1kg (of anything) is 1000g. 1g of water is 1cm³. Stack 1000 1cm³ blocks to get a 10m high column. This column exerts 100kPa of pressure on its base. To heat it by 1°C requires 1kcal. And 1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second.
I’ve posted this before on my mastodon, and on feddit.de, before the instance was shut down, but I think it’s still a nice showcase how SI units interact with one another.
The worst thing we have in the metric system is kWh/1000h. It’s just watts, but whoever designed the energy labels thought a bunch of zeros would be funny or something.

I’ve really thought about whether I even want to engage with this. Mostly because I see your comment as dishonest, misinformed or maybe just tone deaf; to voice the kindest interpretation I can muster, from what I have seen.
Here’s the deal: The US is currently at a point where its already fragile and lackluster democracy could become completely meaningless within a matter of months.
There’s a time to push for more. But not now. You banned people and deleted their comment for “electioneering”; for advocating for the best path forward currently available. You may not like the system or the dems, but there just isn’t any momentum for anything else. That has to be built up first.
If you want to bitch and moan, feel free to do so after the immediate threat has been dealt with. Anything else is practically accelerationism and will lead to a terrible outcome and disenfranchise who knows how many people.
Bargain with what you have and don’t overextend.
EDIT: I’ll not engage with anything that doesn’t also offer a practical, actionable solution. Striving for the best is great, but look around you. Abolishing the police is not on the table, and not voting because of a single issue is shooting at ones own foot.
EDIT #2: Words.
Bei manchen Kommentaren fragt man sich aber ernsthaft, wer das runterwählt.
Irgendwer schreibt so: “Oh, dankeschön, das hat mir riesig geholfen!”
Und irgendeiner kommt dann an mit: “DANKESCHÖN?! ICH GEB DIR DANKESCHÖN!!!” ↓ >:(
Oh, nooo, a democratic politician is not gonna bring on a literal liberalsocialist utopia?! That’s basically just like letting a literal faschist win! No difference at aaall!
Ow!
Why am I-ow!
Please, Mr. Mod, sto-ow!
Stop beating me with the anarcho-cop dild-ow!
Why am I being ban-ow?

Mein aktueller Liebling ist (paraphrasiert): ‘Pflanzen in der Stadt sind schlecht, weil diese die Luft befeuchten, sodass es schwüler und wärmer wird.’ …gefolgt davon, dass Solarpanele (auf den Dächern) für weniger Bäume (im Wald) sorgen würden.
Und jede Diskussion ist hoffnungslos, weil es nie um eine Klärung der faktischen Lage geht.
meh. :(
That seems to be it. Thank you!
The plant and substrate are fine, though. It’s a chunky 5-1-1 mix with a bit of kelp meal to help with drought stress. I have no fungus gnats or standing water. The little teracotta is skewer dry after 3-4 days. ^^
I’m actually pretty happy with the little 'shrooms showing up, as they indicate proper nutrient cycling.
Which cannot connect to a phone unless it’s unlocked, as accepting every USB-C connection carries security risks. They also require negotiation, which can fail at any time, meaning you have to unlock, disconnect, reconnect.
I also have a nice, external (and still cheap) DAC on my computer. It has a headphone jack. This means I need to be able to disconnect the USB-C dongle from my headphones, unless I want to have two separate headphones for my phone and my PC. By extension this requires me to go searching for the dongle from time to time.
I love USB-C. But the headphone jack had what companies and people claim to want: simplicity.
Headphone jacks solved a single but extremly common problem very well. USB-C provides a workaround for it.
