How deep is that pot? To me it looks way too large for a tiny plant. I assume by first time grower you mean you’ve never grown any plants, cannabis or otherwise.

The worst thing you can do to any plant is to overwater it. When a plant is in a pot full of soil and its root system is very small it cannot absorb water quickly enough from the soil to prevent anaerobic conditions developing in the root zone. Anaerobic conditions cause root rot which will stunt and eventually kill a plant.

It’s much better to have a small plant in a tiny pot than a small plant in a giant pot. A plant that has overgrown its pot will demand more frequent watering but is not in danger of root rot. Plus it’s much easier to transplant a plant with a dense root ball than one with a ton of soil but sparse roots.

Anyway you should check the bottom of the pot to see if the soil is waterlogged. If there are any bad smells emanating from the soil at the bottom then you might need to do an emergency transplant into fresh soil in a smaller container, ideally with lots of perlite in the mix to promote drainage and aeration. During the transplant you’d want to remove all the soil from the roots and even rinse them off to get them relatively clean. Any roots that feel soft, dark brown and slimy should be pruned off so that only firm, light/white roots remain.

And some cute lil mouse britches!

I think he means “perfectly tuned to the way fans want it” which is to say “highly moddable.” Skyrim is kind of the first game in the series that sold really well on platforms other than the PC which strangely brought in a lot of fans who play the vanilla game. But as far as I can remember, the bulk of the longterm fanbase plays on PC and installs tons of mods for the game.

Sure, there are other games that fans like to mod (Minecraft being a big one) but I can’t think of any other game where fans stack dozens or even hundreds of mods by different authors all on the same game and actually expect it to work. The fact that it does work at all (and fans have created custom programs to merge mods and to carefully tune the loading order) is rather a miracle!

So this is what I think he means by “perfectly tuned.” A brand new engine would mean putting in a ton of work to support all the different forms of modding fans want to do and in all likelihood would be far less flexible and powerful, leading to modder community outcry.

That’s just a coincidence. 吗, meaning “what?”, is pronounced má which has the ascending tone. This is not true of all questions in Chinese. For example: 谁在你的右边 meaning “who is on your right?” does not end with 吗, and 边 is pronounced bian which has the flat tone.

Ahhhh this is an absolute tragedy. The same thing goes with many movies from the golden age of Hollywood. I love to watch these old films. It breaks my heart that so many are lost forever.

I’ve looked around quite a bit for The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. No one seems to have the complete series. The show ran nightly for 30 years and amassed 6714 episodes so it would be quite a large torrent.

Perform terribly on modern AAA titles, sure, but that’s a tiny % of the total Steam library. A lot of people these days don’t even bother with new AAA titles, instead playing older games or indie games. I bet Valve knows this and is working on the ARM transition specifically because of this fact.

Yes, I have a whole basket full of towels. I use them all once and hang them up. After the basket is empty I wash them all

Doesn’t matter! Could get that thing NASA clean room levels of clean and I’m still not going to towel off my butt before my face. That’s just weird!

I do, but I still wouldn’t do that!

So you dry off your butt first and then your face with the same towel?

There’s a lot of advantages that simply come with using a more popular distribution. For one, having a larger pool of package maintainers (and therefore more packages) is pretty important. Have you ever tried using NixOS as a daily driver? I did a few years ago. Very annoying having to create my own packages for so many different (and relatively common) things I wanted to use.

I think both you and I know the project wouldn’t have worked and in all likelihood it would’ve damaged his reputation. I can’t fault him for opting out of that. As for what he actually did with the money, I am not going to defend that!

We’re talking about two different things here.

Actually trying to end world hunger vs pushing a button and having it happen. The former is really hard and probably way beyond the means of any individual, no matter how wealthy. The fact that Elon promised to do it is only evidence of his extreme ego, not his ability nor his ethics (which his donation to himself calls into question).

If he could push a button and end world poverty at a nominal cost of $xxx billion, I think he would do it. But to actually put in the work over a lifelong project which has a high potential to fail? I don’t for a second believe he’s capable of that. But who is?

I don’t think you thought this one through!

To be the guy known for ending poverty for all time, having statues in every park on the planet? Or just another boat to park in your mega-garage of boats?

Easy choice.

Or just the problem with technology in general. Every gain is bought with a tradeoff.

Once a man has changed the relationship between himself and his environment, he cannot return to the blissful ignorance he left. Motion, of necessity, involves a change in perspective.

At what point in history did we ever halt the deployment of a new technology to protect workers?

I bet the sign is just driven right off the serial port so Linux just treats it as a console to log to. Then their custom signage app just starts right up from init. Nice!

I think you mean there’s never a right time to update! You’re always rolling the dice!
