“All corners of the globe” and “pre-date the ice age”, obviously, but what’s number three?

We had one, in no time it was popping up in every one of our pots.
As to growing in cracks, Saxifragales, the order to which Kalanchoe belongs, literally means “rock breaker”. It’s an incredibly morphologically diverse and interesting order.

- Comment on What television series in your opinion had very good writing and character depth? 4 days ago:
Extremely loosely based. Like, almost no actual story similarities. They kind of adapted the premise, to a degree, but that’s about it.
Still an enjoyable show, but not really representative of either Dirk Gently book. The books are really really good, if you like Adams’ writing. I had to stop at least once per page reading Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul to sit and appreciate a fantastic sentence.

If you’ve never crafted a meme with your soul when you were kinda fucked up, and weren’t that great at editing in the first place, then we can’t be friends.

The more this suffix is normalized, the more it makes it feel like the Nixon scandal was something about water.

To be fair, that’s just kind of been the norm for… my whole life? It’s not exactly a new normal, turnover has just gotten faster.

Crazy idea:
Start a right wing punk band
Exclusively write songs about how capitalism and that status quo are great
Charge thousands of dollars for albums, tens of thousands for tickets
Make millions of dollars off rich chuds
Use those millions to fight the status quo
- Comment on Is Dungeon Meshi worth it if I'm not into anime? 1 week ago:
If you plan to DM any homebrew, you should definitely watch it. The “lotta hydra meat that’s going to waste” aspect is a driving force, but the major theme is exploring the dungeon as an ecosystem; its flora, fauna, structure, everything.
It’s like Julia Child meets Anthony Bourdain meets Steve Irwin meets David Attenborough meets Brennan Lee Mulligan. If you enjoy thinking about dungeon design at all, you will enjoy this show.

- Comment on Trigger warning - This Epstein stuff is making me sick... 1 week ago:
Funny enough, after a big tree fell on my property a little while back and I wanted to mulch it all for the garden, so I did some research. I was mostly looking at rentals, which were about $500/day for the ones that could handle thick branches.
I wanna say buying was like 10× that for the cheaper ones, but that was for the smaller models more suitable for middle sized branches, but then I would’ve had to use a chainsaw to break up the thicker chunks.
I wound up cutting it into logs and they’re still sitting there, I should probably look into it again and actually get around to it.

Yeah dawg, I think you’re just not very good at researching your appliances. Put a little time in to learn to sniff out bots and find reviews that aren’t advertisements. Look at 4 star reviews. I hate to say it, but look at reddit; it’s a legitimately great research resource for that kind of thing if you can recognize ads.
Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of touchscreen WiFi bullshit out there to spend stupid money on, but there are a few diamonds in the rough if you’re willing to look.
I can’t speak to outside the US in terms of exact models, but the techniques transfer. Don’t trust brand names, find reviews of specific models.The internet is full of dorks who go on forums to geek out on appliances, you just have to find them.

- Comment on Start-up idea 1 week ago:
Sure it does, you just have to buy the stuff that’s expensive because it’s quality, not expensive because it has WiFi and touchscreens and stuff.
- Comment on Start-up idea 2 weeks ago:
There are tons of models out there that cost half that much. Sure, there are fancy ones with wifi and touch screens you can spend $1000+ on, but a basic washer is like $4-600.

Pretty sure mine are passive with a little speaker that selectively transmits low decibel sounds. If the batteries die, it’s still passive protection, I just don’t get to hear people talking.

I think I paid around $1200 for my Maytag commercial, not one single problem in the last 5ish years.
- Comment on Start-up idea 2 weeks ago:
People have mentioned energy use and safety, but adjusting for inflation they were also way more expensive, a washing machine in the 50s was over $1000 in today’s dollars. If you’re willing to spend that much, you can find great reliable appliances with long lives.

I don’t try to put my pinky all the way down, the difference between a 1 and 0 on that finger is about 90°, though it rolls a bit depending on the other fingers. As long as you can tell the difference between up and down, you don’t have to be that strict about the exact positioning

No? I’ve been counting like this for like 20 years
