You probably can, but that might actually be a trailing cactus. Some of them do that by default!

Diatomaceous earth also shreds fungus gnats, and tends to persist in houseplant soil for quite some time Just apply it to soil outside and water it before bringing it in, it’s hazardous to breathe in.
I remember interning at a place during uni, where something had broken, and a handful of 40 year olds asked me, a probably 19 or 21 year old intern, if I could fix it, as nobody else at the company knew how. (I had recently learned how through my classes)
That was the definite moment, along with a few others where I suddenly realized that adults didn’t always know what they were doing.
But it was especially present at that internship. Outwardly, I was ready for the challenge, but inwardly, I was reeling that a company with decent profits and 100+ personnel was entirely relying on someone not too far out of highschool.
If they were relying on me for that, what else were people relying on at other companies, organizations, even governments? It made me really realize how ad-libbed our world is, having thought professionals in every sector had been firmly in control of the world as I had known it, up to that point.
Same here! It feels a lot more satisfying seeing them daily, just like when comics were a larger part of the daily paper :)
Yes, extremely important right now, too. They’re pretty much the only thing that’s stopping CWD, a prion disease cousin to Mad Cow, from spreading across north America in wild game and bush meat. Wolves are immune to it, interestingly enough. And they go after sick animals exhibiting odd, “zombie like” behavior due to CWD.
I pray to God it doesn’t jump from bush meat to humans, or into cattle and farming.
I absolutely love these 50s style comics. Bill must have occasionally wanted to flex his muscles with a different style :)
I still miss WP daily. It was a fantastic OS. Way ahead of its time, too.
In a bit of a reverse to this, wolf populations are WAY up in Oregon, now. Even with poisonings and deliberate killings. There are hundreds of wolves in the state, and they trend upwards each year.
…oregon has no wolf reintroduction program. These wolves have come from other states, like Montana, Idaho, and Washington, whose numbers are also increasing!
Wolves restore habitats degraded by overpopulation and disease, bringing back species lost or driven out by overgrazing or defoliation of trees. :)

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you rinse your plates and cutlery before putting them in the dishwasher?
4·12 days agoDifferent person, but yes, even after watching the TC video. I preheat the water too. And it’s a fairly recent Miele dishwasher.
Rinsing the dishes definitely helps cut down on this, though. And occasionally checking the filter at the bottom. A little rinsing goes a long way, I’ve found.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?
7·12 days agoTax filing companies. Individual taxes are pretty straightforward in most cases. Our tax laws are just completely screwed up.
Health insurance and tax information can easily be handled by the government.
I really like dynamic art like this. Very stylized, and would make for a very cool, multi-story mural on the side of a big building downtown.

They do! It’s very colorful and fun. Pride feels like a cheery start to summer in participating cities :)

3·27 days agoSounds like you can still have ICE powered stuff. Get an ebike, swap the motor, and straight pipe that shit, lol.

12·27 days agoWith $25 gas, Americans would simultaneously impeach the government and fully switch to renewables, lol.
Oh yup, I meant the brown middle part in paper towel rolls!
That’s not bad! I largely don’t drive anymore, unless there’s something I cannot do by ebike or train. I would like to get a used EV someday for those times where I really do need a car.
















I love how pretty their eyes are :)
