What if i think «guillotine » is the most beautiful word of 2025? I know some would argue Luigi should be first here, but i stand by my conviction.
- Comment on How fast can the body absorb vitamin B12? 4 weeks ago:
-
if you aren’t deficient you most likely have many months of b12 store.
-
the tablet is about 1000x what your body can absorb daily. Don’t take two.
-
unless you are just starting the treatment for a profound deficiency don’t sweat about it, but do build yourself a better system to remember.
-
you won’t be anemic because you forgot a few dose, same thing with neurological symptoms: if you feel bad there is probably another explanation.
This isn’t medical advice because we don’t live under the same laws and maybe i don’t have your full information…
Some vegan look into yeast as a source of b12 : same problem than the tablet you need to remember to add it to your recipes. Since your lack of b12 comes from a diet choice we can expect your stomach to produce the “intrinsic factor” required to absorb b12 : you are fine.

- Comment on US fab construction costs twice as much, takes twice as long as Taiwan 1 month ago:
10 % isn’t based on anything but let’s imagine: 2-4 % military 1 % communication infrastructure, media and unbiased information 2-4 % healthcare 2-4 % food. You quickly get to 10%. Too big and you loose the benefit of free trade.

Free trade is the best system for 90 % of an economy. I will take a dump on Trump any day, maybe twice , but having a small capacity to build your own silicon chip is mandatory in case of a military conflict. Covid wasn’t a planned military conflict and first world economies couldn’t produce mask, gown… and luckily the virus wasn’t so deadly and only a small % of the population died.
I am Canadian… by any free trade perspective it looks like we should buy our milk from countries with less harsh winter… but then we would be on our knee if an idiot decide to bully us with a duty tax.
There should be free trade for 90 % of a country gdp and elected officials can change their list of excluded 10 % every few years.

I know nothing, but isn’t some pieces of Google software to be found on many sites that aren’t Google or YouTube?
- Comment on Is there something I can do about it? [Phalaenopsis orchid] 1 month ago:
My philosophy is to only consider fertilizer when there is active growth and it comes second to water balance: root surface vs foliage surface vs temperature-light x deficit in air humidity. Like Russian dolls i don’t look into the next lower priority step if i am not satisfied with a high priority step : medium-high indirect light and water balance. N.B. Light is also a factor in water balance: the plant open stomata on the leaves to absorb CO2 under high light and doing so can dehydrate a bit more. Keep your conditions stables and the plant will adapt, wont be the most beautiful orchid but it should adapt if the roots aren’t rotting too much. I successfully kept cattleya, oncidium and phalenopsis in such conditions of years before i moved to terrariums.
I am surprised that the leaf showing a touch of yellow isn’t the bottom one.

Are the clay pebbles new for this plant? I often understood that the older roots from before semi hydroponic will die in those conditions and new roots will grow and be adapted to those same conditions. I used a similar setup with no fertilizer at all and got orchids to flower for a few years, the growth was just a bit smaller every years. They need way less fertilizer than you think : because they grow as epiphytes in the wild without access to soil. Intermittent very low level of fertilizer might be better especially if the leaves are showing sign of a mismatch between root surface and leaves exposed surface (to drying that can be helped with higher air humidity)
- Comment on How do you express romantic interest in someone? 1 month ago:
Step one : do some activity where you genuinely want to be there involved in that activity. You will meet new people there, it can’t happen if you stay home inactive. You are happy with your own person at this point.
Step two : be kind towards everyone there and show interest to new people with a curiosity state of mind. Talk to people, not only people of direct romantic interest…
Step three : “i had fun spending time with you tonight, is there a way for me to text you to do something together soon?”
Step four : most of the time, when you text to invite you use the word date only once, but it need to be there. She will notice and register that you don’t aim for platonic.
Step five : its out of your control, if there is reciprocal interest you will feel things moving, if it’s not moving over 8-10 dates you need to check within yourself if it’s the relationship you want and discuss the divergence with her. At that point every couple is different, you build the style of communication that will characterize your relationship going forward in this early phase. Let her bring the sex topic first, or most of it.
Dating app will push you just a bit faster to 3-4, but you are doing every step before that through your phone with artificial/imperfect feedback.
