Ryoko Kikuchi had appendicitis a week before launch.
She did eventually make it into space however.
- Comment on What are we doing wrong with our rubber plant? 2 months ago:
No expression is universal across plants. Genetically they are too varied and adapted to too many environmental conditions. So the expression of any issue, logically is varied depending on the plant species background.
That’s why anyone that works with or knows a lot about plants uses qualifying terms like “usually, generally, most common, etc”. It’s always an educated guess.
Browning of leaves could be a sign of root rot. It also could be a sign of salt buildup in the soil. Insect feeding on the roots, different nutrient deficiencies/excesses, herbicide/pesticide damage, or even reactions to temperature, light and humidity. Yeah…

Yellow leaves on the bottom of the plant is the most common sign of nitrogen deficiency.
This can be caused by lack of nitrogn availability or other things limiting the uptake of nitrogen into the plant.
Overwatering: too much water can create anaerobic conditions (No oxygen). Bacteria in the soil convert ammonia and nitrate to N2 gas.
Any disease effecting the root. This includes fungal and bacterial root rots. Letting the pot dry outcan help reduce the pressure.
Other species that feed on the roots. Fungus gnats, nematodes, and many more things can feed on the roots.

My guess - 1800’s origin.
People traveling around selling all sorts of ancient things like papyrus was in fashion and made a ton of money. All sorts of “ancient” things were also manufactured during the time period as well.
- Comment on Wyoming ranchers want to transition to solar. The state stands in their way. 5 months ago:
Supplemental irrigation, even in higher rainfall zones like Bavaria increase row crop yields by up to 30-50%. Everytime you drive past a non-irrigated field, up to 1/2 of the environmental damage is not needed if the countries invested in upgrading the water management system from the iron age.
50% more forests and nature, , 50% less chemicals and fertilizer used, etc… it all starts with water management.

2.47 acres = 1 hectare if I remember my conversions right. 1 hectare is 0.01 sq km.
3000 acres/2.47= 1215 hectares *.01= 12.15 sq km. You misplaced a decimal.

They likely have pivot irrigation systems on quite a few fields plus the pumps. Generally costs around $50-$125/acre per year depending on the cost of electricity and length of irrigation season (Arizona irrigates 12months of the year, some high mountain areas irrigate for 2 months).
$150,000 ÷ $125/acre = 1,200 acres under irrigation. $150,000/$50/acre = 3000 acres under irrigation.
These are not poor little family farmers. These are both millionaires who likely inherited it all from mommy and daddy. They also likely accept all sorts of subsidy checks already from the government every year.
- Comment on Retirees 'stunned' as market turmoil over tariffs shrinks their 401(k)s 1 year ago:
I am thinking we haven’t seen anything yet on this one. This one could decrease the total value on the exchanges by 75% or better.
If the orange cheeto doesn’t reverse course, massive layoffs will begin in 2-3 months as companies run out of cash.
The great depression was so deep and long because they thought tariffs would help them get out of it. Surprise, it didn’t work.
