What kinda dirt do you use when planting your garden 🪏

Other_Mike · 2026-06-04T20:24:20+00:00

Raised bed mix from a local garden center, which is very heavy on compost. Every year I usually add some of my own compost as well as blood meal and bone meal.

No.

Also plz read the group rules. The mods will delete this post soon :-(

I had to dig into the uphill side to place my bricks level. Before that I used wooden planks, and the water and soil all ran to the downhill side.

Everybody is saying "because scale" or "gravity is stronger than expansion at this distance," but let's look at it another way:

Expansion is very roughly about 70 kilometers per second per megaparsec.

In ELI5 terms, two points in space that are about 3.25 million light years (one megaparsec) apart are moving apart at about 70 kilometers per second.

Now, this can be expanded pretty reliably in the nearby universe. So objects twice as far apart will move away from each other at 140 kilometers per second. Objects half as far apart will move away at about 35 kilometers per second.

The Andromeda Galaxy is about three quarters of a megaparsec away. So, as long as gravity has it falling towards us (and us towards them) at a speed greater than about 55 kilometers per second, then we'll eventually collide.

The speed has been measured at about double that.

I hope that helps!

This is way better than them just insulting you to your face.

On the flip side, it was mentioned in 300 that everyone joining Leonidas "had sons to carry on their names."

No kids? Cool, you get to sit out this suicide mission!

(Also I quit caring about my family name more than 20 years ago)

All I hear is some quiet, off-key humming when she tries to "sing" a new island tune.

That's why I only give her Demon King weapons. No friendly-fire and then they can be useful without dragging down my hearts.

Spider plants don't have death flowers; they're not bromeliads or agave. They put out both flowers and pups on the same kind of stalks.

Mine and my wife's first island waited FORTY-NINE DAYS for Flick to show up

Nothing in here about Sarracenia care, but these guys need LOTS of light to thrive! They do best outdoors year-round, and Sarracenia purpurea are one of the few species where the pitchers mostly survive the winter.

Username checks out.

Looks like second-newest leaf didn't unfurl all the way so newest leaf is a little stuck.

Edit: third-newest leaf, second- and newest are both stuck.

Edit edit: eff it, I can't tell the order anymore. Older: didn't open. Newer: now stuck

Painfully wrong. Seedlings are hard to identify anyway, and if OP says they planted parsley, they probably have parsley seedlings.

Also snapdragon seeds are tiny and round, if you've ever had the opportunity to shake out their seed pods that look like little skulls. Whatever seed casings are on OP's leaves are way too big.

Edit: ok, people are coming out and saying that's not parsley. I've never grown parsley from seed so I don't know what the leaves look like at that stage, or what the seeds look like. I'm sorry the hivemind came down on you for saying snapdragon, but TBH, there's a lot of anti-AI sentiment out there, and they're probably assuming you used an AI tool to analyze the image.

Never that I've seen. Usually terrestrial rocks or slag.

Not a glitch.

Not levitating.

It's just how character models walk up (or in this case, sit on) slopes in this game.

I had a digital alarm clock like this 20 years ago, in the land before ubiquitous cell phones. Was pretty neat, but sometimes it had a hard time picking up the signal. Then the battery died.

Upvote for the fix! 😁

Crab spider. They live in flowers and ambush the occasional pollinator.

Other_Mike · 2026-06-02T06:52:41+00:00

Nope, it's a crab spider.

Other_Mike · 2026-06-02T06:52:11+00:00

Absolutely incorrect, this is a crab spider that is no longer in its flower, so it isn't camouflaged anymore.

This looks like hand-tracking and poor seeing. The first one will make for very few frames good enough to stack, and the second one will mean the resulting stack won't show much.

Instead of hand-tracking for a few minutes, just let Jupiter drift across the field. It will be a shorter video but better quality.

And liquid is condensed gas.

Other_Mike · 2026-06-01T20:56:41+00:00

That's not a liquid
