  • Pepper plants are resilient af. I had a 10 yo pepper plant in a pot that i COULD HAVE SWORN i killed because… I was dating a guy… and was over at his place a lot … and didn’t water it enough… Anyway this thing was dead, but i was heartbroken I had lost sight of my true love (lol) and watered a dead plant for at least a month and it amazingly survived. It took a year off from pepper production, but this year it’s in full bloom. Here’s a picture of this 13 year old beast of a plant:












  • Oh 100%. You can try kagi out on a free trial, which is what I’m on. It’s nice because you get different search results that aren’t constrained to the Google algorithm.

    What I mean by this, I search for recipes a lot, on Google all the recipes are identical. When I use Kagi, they differ with the main search team I want.

    I plan on using Kagi and subbing when I have the money.

    It’s better to pay for a product than be the product imho.

    edit: for the recipes I mean on Google it’s the same promoted main steam food network bs, etc every. Single. Time. With Kagi I feel like it’s smaller people with recipes with more relevancy to the terms I type in.


  • You should check out loose leaf teas. I find them to be less expensive and better quality. I like a mail order catalog called Upton tea imports. You can get 100g of earl grey for 7 bucks which is 18 cents a cup. They also have a cool quarterly magazine.

    There are lots of other places to get loose leaf teas, like the grocery store in the bulk goods section. You can get little paper filters or get a strainer. I don’t like the little clampy ball one, but it’s cheap. I prefer the pour over basket.



  • Yeah when I worked at BioWare we would do things gradually, then I moved to EA Mobile and staging and testing was like a foreign concept. It was wild. Fortunately that changed, but having a staging instance is really really important, as I’m sure many people now realize. Sometimes lessons are hard. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
