"Dave Ramsey is a dickhead that nobody should listen to, and he should fuck off all the way over there" says doctortofu, a random nobody on the Internet
You mean constant invasive surveillance is actually counterproductive AND expensive? But, but, but, all those AI tech-bros told us it would make the line go more up faster! That's why we gave them billions of dollars! How could that happen!? Who could predict humans don't enjoy feeling like prisoners under constant watch?

Edit: one of my gymno triplets also started to bloom some time between 3 hours ago and now! I was hoping all flowers would open up together, but it's still pretty :)

Can't let kids know about sex until they're old enough for catholic priests and MAGA republicans to lose interest in them - will someone think of the children diddlers!?
Disgusting, and a that librarian says in the article - it is only going to get worse...
Haha, it does, doesn't it? That one is my wife's and she calls it "little rabbit" because it kinda sorta looks like one :)
Sometimes it helps it grow when it's barely able to do so on its own - that's the case for the bright red and yellow ones that are popular in flower shops. They can't photosynthetize well on their own, so grafting allows them to get nutrients from the rootstock instead.
For other ones it's either purely aesthetics, or speeding up growth - grafted cacti tend to grow much faster. Either that, or making sure delicate ones don't die - it's more difficult to kill a grafted cactus, since rootstock ones are normally pretty resilient, and scions are protected from root rot and such because they sit on top :)

Guess it's time to display this in every classroom then: https://www.bible-tencommandments.com/10-C-Languages/10-C-Arabic.htm
Maybe try searing it on high heat until it gets brown and crispy-ish on the outside and then put it in the oven? Breading it might be another option, but in both cases you're only going to get it semi-crispy on the outside - I think it has too much water content to crisp all the way through.
Edit: Haha, searched for "crispy cauliflower" and that's what came up: https://minimalistbaker.com/quick-crispy-cauliflower/
Not really, because I normally don't even look at or register usernames unless I emphatically agree or disagree with a post. I've been doing this for years, first on forums, then on reddit and now here. I don't want to be biased against the content of the message just because I like or dislike a particular poster, so I mostly ignore usernames altogether.
"Ozymandias Clock" would perhaps be a more fitting name...
Yes,and then the trans drag queens will start raping children with those joints and their BLT BBQ agenda! And the sun will go dark, and the milk in cows' udders will go sour, and then banned books are going to rain from the sky, right Ron?
Out of curiosity, since I switched from Windows to Mint recently so I'm not married to it just yet - what would be your recommended distro for Windows users that uses a better/newer tech stack? Mint worked out of the box for me, but if love to try other distros too if they're better.
The anti-AI knee-jerk reactions can be extreme, I agree, but at the same time one of important features of Mastodon is that your feed is nor controlled by an algorithm in any way.
So when a company comes, takes those posts and screws with them to create an algorithm to show them, I understand people getting angry - at least some of them joined to be free of that exact thing...
The wildest part is that he's surprised that Mastodon peeps would react negatively to their posts being scrapped without consent or even notification and fed into an AI model. Like, are you for real dude? Have you spent more than 4 seconds on Mastodon and noticed their (our?) general attitude towards AI? Come the hell on...
Modern slavery in Amazon yet again. If there was any loophole that allowed the use of "classic" slavery, manacles, whips and all, I bet Amazon would be the first to jump at a chance to chain their workers to product racks too...
And all of us all over the world who give them money are supporting this. I need to try much harder to de-Amazon my life, and I wish governments were not bought and paid for and threw the book at them HARD every time they do shit like this...
In winter I do put the more delicate ones inside and cover the rack to create a mini greenhouse, but with global warming in full swing I might not have to do it for much longer, since Tokyo is turning tropical...
Valdezii seems to be a synonym of ritteri, and hintonii is the second one, so unless Wikipedia is wrong (which is of course possible), I got'em both (the one in the back is hintonii, the label is covered from this angle): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztekium
That's too bad, because the 1% that most politicians listen to and/or take bribes from is very strongly for it, so, ya know...
The Bethesda of old is long dead. After the disappointment that was Starfield, it will take multiple rave reviews and watching a few streamers playing on Twitch for me to even consider giving them any money. And I sure as hell will not be paying for goddamned mods, not now and not ever. Eff that and eff the greedy assholes that now run Bethesda.
Yet another childish tantrum? Wow, is it another day ending with "y" already? How time flies...
Do it you pathetic spoiled manchild, stop flapping your gums and actually bloody do it.
Thank you! That's the problem though - it's not particularly deliberate - we just put new ones wherever there's still some room left ;)
I did actually order sone color labels yesterday, and I'll be marking and rearranging them according to dormancy periods - it's going to make watering way easier at least.
When the weather allows it, I keep most of my plants outside, so the main picture is a view that shows my balcony from the far end, just to better display the extent of my wife's and mine craziness.
Here are some closeups of different racks and sections - I will properly organize it one day, I'm almost certain of it ;) You can click the embeds for full-res photos.

That's about it for now, at least until the weekend - might notice some more cute succ-ers when I go grocery shopping or whatever, and as you can clearly see impulse control is not my forte :P
It was very hot, very crowded and yet still worth it - finally got not just one, but both known species of Aztekium without going bankrupt - I wanted one for a long while, but they tend to be stupid expensive in Japan.
Love the two cute jellybeans too - Conophytum burgeri. Hell, love all of them, that's why I bought too many yet again :)
Here are a few closeup shots: [!Tokyo-Grand-Bazaar2.jpg](https://postimg.cc/mzRYSqhs)

First bigger shopping trip this season, and I bought way too many again.
I'm kinda tired now, so just a quick brag before I properly id them :)

It used to look, well, black, but now I'm seeing this, which is a bit hard to read... Did the theme change recently? I'd love to goback to my white-on-black look if possible...

Went to a succulent/cactus store today to get some repotting soil, came back with that, and these three little stowaways :)
From the left, Pseudolithos migiurtinus, a beautiful Pleiospilos nerii in bloom, and cute Gymnocalycium quehlianum var. calochlorum triplets.
Went to a gardening store to pick up some rosemary and thyme (since I still have more than enough of sage and parsley;)) and found these beauties: a white(ish) Echeveria sold under a moniker "Queen", and a beautiful plump Pleiospilos nelii. First new succulets this season - looking forward to seeing them grow!

Just posting a link in case our awesome admin team missed it - Happy New Year guys, you're great!
Went shopping for something else, and just randomly saw them at a flower shop - couldn't pass them up, and here they are! :)
