How often are you watering? Is it by hand or irrigation system? Is there runoff, e.g. from a nearby lawn? If the issue is your soil drains poorly, you might be able to condition it by breaking up any compact soil and amending it with organic matter (and maybe sand). However this is fairly labor intensive and takes time to do properly (and might not fix the issue, depending on the cause). Building raised beds might be a faster and more effective solution.
Peppers have a fairly small root ball, so you could always grow them in grow bags (I'd recommend one 10 gallon bag per plant); it's nearly impossible to over-water grow bags (but on the flip side, it's very easy to under-water them!) Plus growing them in bags makes it super easy to overwinter them, assuming you have access to a garage/basement.
Yeah, but asking for the small piece how I get through social situations like birthday parties with grocery store sheet cake; I think grocery store sheetcake is absolutely disgusting and a standard-sized piece will literally make me sick, but I will suffer a few bites to be part of the festivities and not make the host feel judged for their taste in desserts. Give me a big piece and I'll feel obligated to finish the whole thing or rudely waste the gifted food.
Also sometimes I'm full or have a bellyache or already had a big dessert that day and really can't handle that much sugar.
Either way if I'm wrong and decide I want more, there's this concept called "getting a second serving."
Most of the comments here cite reasons for disliking AI that include one or more of the following: environmental degradation, resource consumption, increasing energy/hardware prices, disregarding copyright, disregarding privacy, undermining human artists, mass layoffs, creating a market bubble, throwing education into chaos, monopolization by corporations/billionaires, AI hallucinations/inaccuracy, a product that is overpromising/undelivering, a product that makes generating misinformation easier.
Which of these reasons for disliking AI do you think fall under your assertion of "anti-intellectual technophobia"? They all seem like legitimate, well thought out reasons for disliking something to me, especially when considered together.
This is also a huge problem when deciding how to write foreign names into Chinese: imagine the difference in public perspective when reading a news article about some country leader named "Prime Minister Sleepy Swamp Pit" vs "Prime Minister Strong Universe Zephyr" or whatever.
I love both dandelion leaf and root teas! The flowers probably make a decent tea too, although I'm yet to try that. Roasted dandelion root + roasted chicory root is a fantastic caffeine-free coffee substitute too.
I sometimes get sent/click on shorts too, however I absolutely cannot stand that YT shorts auto-repeat, which keeps me from watching more than one video at a time (hit that back button at light speed). Plus the clickbait videos are almost always disappointing ("I tuned in for 90 seconds for something that could have been summed up in a sentence and ended up being a total dud anyway!?").
I do this (I watch the first season when it comes out and then if I really liked it I'll wait until the whole series is complete so I can binge it in one go, and if I just thought it was just okay I'll watch the seasons as they come out because I don't care that much if I miss stuff on account it forgetting what happened previously) and I know it screws with viewership numbers when it comes time to decide what to renew/axe but when the alternative is rewatching the entire series every time a new season comes out...
(Otherwise known as the tale of why I've watched Bojack Horseman S1 five times)
DS9 is a funny example because (relative to contemporary shows TNG and Voyager, but other TV of that era too) they oftentimes doesn't wrap up the philosophical/moral/ethical conundrum neatly by end of episode and leave things more open or unresolved or ambiguous, which is simultaneously dissatisfying and refreshing IMO. Also, I think some of their best episodes from a conceptual perspective ended up a bit clunky in execution, like they don't have enough time to properly explore the subject at hand in only one episode so they squeeze it into a more superficial plot that then as a result feels a bit drawn out (also Star Trek dialogue usually ranges from mid to meh--with a few standout lines sprinkled in--which unsurprisingly taints the acting too). There are a number of single-episode plots that were good but could have been great if they'd given them more time to marinade over multiple episodes, but they already had a huge number of balls in the air for an episodic show in terms of plot and character development, so maybe that would have been disastrous to attempt idk.
Absolutely wild ride of an article. Unusually long for The Guardian, but totally worth the read, regardless of your personal interest in birthing methods. Went in expecting medical woohoo beliefs, left with a better understanding of the growth and formation of radical online movements. Make sure to read to the end!
Currently anticipating the inevitable sequel once they get hit with manslaughter charges.
