I got a question right on an electronics quiz about finding the resistance in a curcuit (I have verified I was right).

My science teacher who didn't know how to do it in the first place and was just looking at the (incorrect) answer schedule said I was wrong. I just said "I don't think so but ok" even though I knew I was right as I did not want to argue. As she was walking away I explained to my friend why I was right, my teacher overheard me and came storming to the table saying:

"WHEN I SAY IM RIGHT I AM RIGHT! AND WHEN I SAY YOUR WRONG YOU ARE WRONG!"

At the top of her lungs.

I was just a kid so it put me off science for a bit tbh.

Don't finish one thing before you start another. instead keep a special list of things you want to do and loop between them, as you get board of one move onto the next one. As long as you are determined to get everything done. And make sure the list is short enough so that you can actually get things finished after a couple of loops.

I find this makes getting things done much more enjoyable for me, and stops me procrastinating. just make sure none of the tasks on the list are procrastination's in disguise.

And of course, rest when you need it. proper rest, not exhausting yourself thinking you're procrastinating. Just rest, then carry on.

Bananas do and will loose their bottom leaves as they grow, so no surprises there.

As you probably know the black flaky stuff on the outside is normal sap, not mildew. As far as u can see there is only mildew present where the frond meats the trunk.

As there is only a small amount of mildew and no signs of rot I don't think the mildew caused the leaf falling off (rather just natural growth). If it gets more chronic mildew it may cause issues in the future. We grow our bannanas outside and powdery mildew between old fronds is a given, and not a concern, however indoor plants are a lot more prone to disease so it may be a worry.

P.s. its not powdery mildew (mildew is white/grey). Its probably just some kinda mold that settled in the crack left by the leaf falling off. I would only be concerned if it is present between young fronds or starts rotting the trunk.

I mean when writing an essay you should really be sourcing from the original source not Wikipedia, good thing Wikipedia lists the original source the info came from so you can just use that. (Unlike some websites the teacher said were better then Wikipedia which were just full of unchecked bullshit)

But for everything else Wikipedia is great

Our young Tui are practicing right now, its so fun watching them barely be able to sing, sounding like a donkey while trying there best to imitate the melodic adults.

Then they slowly grow up and learn new things until eventully they can perfectly imitate our car reversing beep, fooling us to think someone is stealing our car.

I think it would be too much effort to try and train an old shrub into a tree when hydrangeas are so insanely easy to take cuttings of, and the cuttings grow so fast. (So much so that when we prune our hydrangeas many of the fallen branches accidentally become new plants).

tho I love hydrangea bush's too and this is a lovely mature one. So I reackon you should keep this one, take a cutting, and grow the cutting into a tree somewhere else, and then you get the best of both worlds (:

I would say it would be fine, the only problem would be warping as the pine will be quite thin (plywood is more resistant to this).

But if you don't care about everything being perfectly straight I think pine would be plenty strong enouph and wouldn't warp noticeably much either (just pick straight boards from the store). So yea I think it would be fine.

P.s. (if you join multiple boards together its usually less likely to warp but I don't think this is necessary for your usecase)

Olives, they can add so much to almost any dish. Bonus points if you preserve them yourself. Other than that I really love when the ginger is fried first before anything else.

boiling water is the only method I know of that doesn't leave any contaminants, though I never found a need to bake them.

I just plop my substrate in a bucket with boiling water in it, then give it a quick stir before spreading it thinly on a mat allowing the hot water to evaporate off, leaving the substrate dry.

If Zig is easy than that means C is easy (as Zig is pretty much nicer written C) and if C is easy than, oh wait everything is written in C. I guess the only thing left to do is learn an unnecessary overcomplicated abstraction of C like java or C++.

As for the question, pick a task than pick a language, servers? Go seems to be replacing Java for the next generation, Games? Zig C# Odin C C++ Lua, Rewrites? Rust. Random small scripts? Python. Bare metal? C C++ Zig.

Also Zig Odin and Go are all C like languages if you learn one you learn about them all (with the exception of manual memory management for Go). My biased self recommend Zig as I think its the nicest, you almost certainly won't get a job in it but the skills will transfer directly to C or Go where you can get jobs.

Cut off the flower stalks but don't chuck them. They are your best hope. There appears to be a little keiki (orchid plantlet) on one of the stalks and you should try and get it to grow roots as it is your best hope for the orchid to live.

I didn't know you could grow cotton plants in a pot, that's very cool. I wonder how much cotton a single plant would give

Don't worry I wouldn't have thought you were arguing, I'm glad you asked.

Woman's rights required huge societal reform, from being a mans property to being one's own self. I know we aren't all the way there in terms of woman's rights, but we have come a long way. (let's not go backwards now)

I was also thinking that the current capitalistic system is also much better than a system where power is based on bloodline like in many old Monarchy's but then I realised that if money is power, and money is inherited its not much different.

However one of our main societal reforms is using reason, logic and ethics over the supposed word of god. I have nothing against the notion of god (other than that it is objective truth), what I do take issue with is using God to manipulate people, people who think they must have faith in the word of god for them to be good people.

This puppetering of god by those in power and the blind trust of those below caused thousands of atrocities; the burning of witches, the rape of people, hundreds of conquests in the name of spreading gods word, and so, so many wars.

This again is not fully resolved in many countries. Such as Israel, were blind faith in the twisted words of god, twisted by a corrupt pollitition, has caused tens-of-thousands of innocent deaths.

But for the most part, developed countries have left gods word as secondary advice, and have not tried to manipulate the people by puppeteering their creator.

This is (imo) a crucial step for a more transperant society. Were you don't feel you are challenging your creators ideals, but just the ideals of a snob in a suit.

Sounds like Oxalis latifolia it is a common invasive species in australia.

As somebody else said: it depends. Some fertilizers are shit and contain harmful shit but most are fine.

Here's some things to know tho:

  1. If fertilizer gets on the leaves you must wash them before eating (which should be done anyway) as the residue may have toxic heavy metals (which may be there for plant growth).

  2. Fertilizer is developed for maximum profits, only things that are needed for fast growth are added. this causes the plants to grow fast but with little nutrients needed for healthy long term growth. Its like plant fast food, it's cheap to make and will make you fat fast but your going to need more than just carbs fat and suger to be healthy.

So the plant will have less nutrients for us, and more importantly less flavour, for herbs like basil and celery the flavour difference is incredible.

for spinach flavour doesn't matter much. spinach also has basically no nutrients for us in the first place, in fact the oxalic acid in Spinach, when eaten, removes calcium from your body. So fast growing spinach has basically no downsides.

For a more complete diet I would recommend a seeweed based fertilizer (make sure it's sustainably harvested!).

  1. dont let any fertilizer get in a river/lake any fertilizer will unbalance its ecosystem.

Also sweet potato (Kumara) leaves are so so good. And easer to grow, and you get sweet potatoes, and they are healthier, and have much less oxalic acid. Only problem with them is they are not very frost resistant and require more light, if you want tubers, then spinach, (in low light it may not produce tubers but will still have leaves).
