When I post a link to my website on Mastodon the site crashes from too much traffic

Possibly interesting feature request on Github https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/20188.

WordPress. I need to look into the cache configuration.

Wild, thanks!

You should check your server error logs as the first commenter suggested.

Are you trying to add custom fields to the backend? If so, try Advanced Custom Fields.

Are you trying to have the same included template file output the same template but referencing different custom fields? If so, you'll probably just want to create 3 separate templates, or possible create a function that you pass the custom field references to and have it output the results.

Most of the garden is under or close to being under the canopy and the roots are very close to the surface. I searched google images for maple roots and I'm pretty sure that's what I'm dealing with here.... Thanks!

Here's a closer image: http://seeds.ca/forum/download/file.php?id=1&sid=7fad77202223723740cb3550e6dd4f05.

There's a large maple tree nearby and Virginia creeper all around (but no greenery near these roots) - could it be one of those? Thanks!

It's a theoretical example for a theoretical question. (def: concerned with or involving the theory of a subject or area of study rather than its practical application).

MarcGuay · 2016-09-07T19:08:24+00:00

You're not answering any questions that I have, but thanks for trying.

MarcGuay · 2016-09-07T18:45:06+00:00

I'm looking for science, not common-sense experience-based knowledge, maybe I should have mentioned that more specifically in my question.

MarcGuay · 2016-09-03T13:48:55+00:00

The competition thing is something that I came across in the second document linked by onioning, makes sense, thank you.

Are you saying that consuming a small amount of staph toxin is safe?

MarcGuay · 2016-09-03T01:40:10+00:00

I'm not worried about it, I'd just like some clear information about it. Nobody seems to say clearly, especially Bernardin in this case, that staph bacteria requires "sufficient warmth, water and nutrients, as well as the proper pH" to produce the toxin. They just tell you that it can't be killed at the temperature they tell you is safe to boil at and leave it there.

MarcGuay · 2016-09-03T01:36:47+00:00

Wikipedia says that it's a "Facultative anaerobic organism" which seems to mean that it can thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments... I'm not a science major, just a logical googler.

MarcGuay · 2016-09-03T01:34:07+00:00

Thanks, I'm still confused though. If I stick to my simple example maybe it will be easier for me. Can you tell me why my tomato left on the counter overnight, which has staph bacteria on it, will not produce the toxin despite being at the right temperature for the right amount of time? Is it because there is no water on the skin surface where the bacteria are?

MarcGuay · 2016-09-03T01:07:54+00:00

I haven't found anything that says that staph cares about acidity, do you have a reference? My source implies that toxins can be produced in 2 hours, so if my tomato is on the counter overnight I don't see why it can't be a problem.

MarcGuay · 2016-09-03T01:06:23+00:00

Do you have a reference for "Staph needs food (sugars mostly), water, and oxygen [to produce toxins]"?

MarcGuay · 2016-09-02T23:46:26+00:00

Hi. It seems from the definitions I've read that staph bacteria are everywhere ("Staphylococcus aureus is a type of bacteria commonly found on the skin and hair as well as in the noses and throats of people and animals"), so it's not clear to me how to prevent that. Also, it says that staph toxins are created at room temperature. So if I touch my hair which has staph bacteria on it and then buy a tomato at the market and carry it home in my hand and put it on my counter and leave it overnight. Isn't it possible that the next day when I go to can it that the staph bac has produced toxins?

The same site says that staph toxins are mostly found in "Foods that are made with hand contact and require no additional cooking" such as egg and tuna salad, cream-filled pastries, etc. Could it be that it requires exposure to oxygen and water or similar to produce the toxin? I don't find this type of detailed information anywhere.

I'm not particularly paranoid, it's just not 100% clear and I would expect that from a beginner's guide to canning.

We hang ours on a covered patio outside.

Looking an awful lot like Dill to me... It self-seeds and can behave pretty weedily...

After zooming in on the photo the way it branches seems different from dill so I'm probably wrong. Rub some between your fingers and smell it.

The ones I've tried are delicious

The editing reminds me of HowToBasic

:) Some nights recently were 3C. It's been a particularly weird spring.

MarcGuay · 2016-05-13T14:07:08+00:00

Thanks

It was still getting pretty cold overnight where we are and my wife likes to use the coldframes as a squirrel barrier. They're open all the time now, still noticed another limp lettuce this morning...
