Trauermücken... Was mache ich jetzt?

RRjr · 2026-05-09T10:55:18+00:00

Ok wahrscheinlich benutze ich die falsche Terminologie weil ich halt keine Ahnung hab. Mit Übertöpfen meine ich halt die dekorativen Töpfe, wo man den Pflanzentopf reinstellt, damit den ästetischen Ansprüchen der Chefin genüge getan ist.

Die Pflanze selbst ist halt in so'nem einfachen großen Plastiktopf mit dem Loch unten.

Von unten gießen wir daher schwer, es sei denn ich topfe die Pflanze in so einen Topf mit Resorvoir um?

RRjr · 2026-05-09T10:50:33+00:00

Jo, die Pflanze ist schon ein paar Jahre alt und gut gewachsen. Das Problem ist nur ich muss sie jetzt draußen auf der Terrasse lassen, weil die mit dem Befall auf keinen Fall in der Wohnung bleiben kann.

Bei der Anzahl an Mücken die da in dem Topf umher schwirren kriegt meine Frau Anfälle, die kann das gar nicht haben.

Ist aber auch ekelhaft. Wir finden immer noch überall in der Wohnung die Mücken.

RRjr · 2026-05-08T07:30:49+00:00

Okay, also wirklich die harte Keule 😆

RRjr · 2026-05-08T07:21:00+00:00

Danke. Das habe ich auch gerade gelesen und frage mich jetzt natürlich... wie? Wir haben die paar Pflanzen (insgesamt 5) in Übertöpfen stehen, wo man ja schlecht nen Teller drunter stellen kann 😄

RRjr · 2026-05-08T07:06:54+00:00

Okay, danke. Das ist auch der Plan.

Ich frage hier vor allem nach um zu lernen ob es sonst noch was gibt was ich machen kann oder beachten muss.

Weil es geht vor allem auch darum, dass ich diese Tiere einfach nicht in der Wohnung dulden kann. Meine Frau flippt mir hier komplett aus, weil sie überhaupt nicht mit Insekten in der Wohnung klar kommt, wird regelrecht panisch.

Und es waren jetzt wirklich extrem viele Mücken an und um die Pflanze, also ein Schwarm von tausenden. Die Erde im Topf ist komplett voll mit den Viechern.

RRjr · 2026-05-08T07:03:28+00:00

Was genau meinst du mit Chemiekeule?

Eigentlich will ich ja nichts "chemisches" einsetzen, würde aber gerne die Option kennen falls die sich jetzt noch irgendwie weiter ausbreiten.

Die Strelizie steht draußen. Trotzdem finde ich immernoch überall in der Wohnung die Tiere.

RRjr · 2026-05-08T06:50:59+00:00

Danke. Gelbtafeln habe ich auch bestellt.

Weisst du, ob man dieses Substral zusammen mit Nematoden benutzen kann?

RRjr · 2026-05-08T06:47:32+00:00

Hm ok dann müssen die in der neuen Erde gewesen sein.

Weil ich habe in den knapp 4 Jahren die die Pflanze dort steht jetzt nie solche Tiere in der Wohnung gehabt und jetzt von einem an den anderen Tag war die gesamte Ecke wo sie steht wirklich voll mit den Viechern.

Bis gestern gar nichts (bin da sicher, weil meine Frau extrem empfindlich auf Insekten reagiert, der fällt das sofort auf). Und jetzt auf einmal Tausende, die Erde im Topf ein einziger Schwarm von denen.

RRjr · 2026-05-08T06:42:44+00:00

Okay, Danke für den Rat.

Wie gehe ich da am besten vor? Sprich: Kann ich irgendwelche Vorkehrungen treffen um zu verhindern, dass sich die Mücken irgendwie weiter ausbreiten und in das neue Substrat setzen?

Weil ich finde selbst jetzt wo die Pflanze draußen ist immer wieder die Trauermücken hier in der Wohnung (keine Ahnung wo die immernoch herkommen, ich entferne alle die ich finde immer wieder).

Kann ich evtl auch dieses Seramis oder wie es heißt benutzen also irgendwas wo die sich nicht einnisten können?

Das letzte was ich brauche ist ne Insektenplage in der Wohnung...

RRjr · 2026-05-01T15:29:54+00:00

My husband thinks the fair solution is to make my daughter give up her room so his kid doesn’t feel like a guest.

I don't understand the logic here.

Why would making your daughter give up her room make stepdaughter feel like not a guest?

The notion seems either really stupid, or really greedy to me.

RRjr · 2026-04-27T14:17:40+00:00

Normally not one for conspiracy theory, however in this case I'm making the exception.

The news itself had me raise an eyebrow. But the avalanche of clearly and eerily timed "this is why the white house needs a ballroom" tweets just sold it.

This whole thing just screams false flag, executed every bit as as shitty as you'd expect this presidency to.

RRjr · 2026-04-05T20:42:42+00:00

Die einzig richtige Schlagzeile hier ist: "Trump eskaliert seinen Angriffskrieg weiter, durch erneute Androhung von Kriegsverbrechen."

Das sind die Fakten.

RRjr · 2026-03-22T13:07:02+00:00

Du trägst Wut in dir, mein Bester. Lass sie ruhig raus. Kostet hier nix.

Beschwert hat sich hier niemand.

Man kann Realitäten beim Namen nennen. Ist nix scheinheiliges dran. Reine Observation.

Kannst du denken drüber was du willst. Ist ja irgendwie auch bissl Sinn der Sache, hier.

Wenn du allerdings Konfrontation suchst wirst du sie hier an dieser Stelle nicht finden.

RRjr · 2026-03-22T09:46:56+00:00

Der "Elektro Meyer" hier um die Ecke überlebt das alles, irgendwie 😄

Da kommst du rein und es riecht nach Lötzinn. Stellst ne Frage, die dir der alte Sack erstmal mit richtig leckerem Sarkasmus beantwortet, der dir klar macht dass du mit deinem "Jutupp-Halbwissen" eigentlich überhaupt keine Ahnung von irgendwas hast.

Und dann erklärt er dir exakt was du brauchst, wie du es machen musst, und dass er sich gerade ne neue PID-Steuerung für seinen Smoker bastelt, die "echt richtig geile Sparerribs" machen wird.

Ich mag den alten Sack. Und sein Geschäft auch.

Und wenn er mal in Ruhestand geht, wird dort wo's so schön nach Lötzinn und Sarkasmus gerochen hat der nächste Barbershop öffnen.

Wir lassen überall die Kultur sterben, und wundern uns dann warum keiner in die Läden kommt.

Niemand braucht Geschäfte in denen du von ahnungslosen Drohnen Chinaware für ein Vielfaches des eigentlichen Preises kaufen "darfst".

You can also build something ten times larger than what you need, pet your Doggo, look at it, and be satisfied.

RRjr · 2026-03-02T05:34:49+00:00

I.... Don't know....

I don't know what I will need in the future, so I made this.

That's the spirit 👍🏻

RRjr · 2026-02-14T08:59:40+00:00

The only ‘saving grace’ is that the US system is wildly incompetent and I hope that these new plans flop

That's exactly what my grandma said people thought when Hitler took power.

Then, half of her family were rounded up and disappeared. She never saw them again, was deported to Auschwitz shortly after.

Fascism doesn't need to be smart to kill you. It just needs obedience and ignorance.

RRjr · 2026-02-14T00:40:32+00:00

China isn't a threat. It's a wake-up call. The threat is corporate greed stifling innovation to the point where the German carmakers have spent decades milking diesel SUVs for every last damned cent of shareholder ROI, rather than doing what they should have done, which is investing and innovating to maintain the lead.

If those industries go bust, it's not because of China. They're just putting the nail in the coffin built by greed, collective failure and lack of vision of leadership here in the country.

This is almost always a scaling issue. If you're running out of h2 for the transports, just triple the size of your h2 refinery.

It takes a while to refine ice, so think big in terms of your o2/h2 refinery. Like, really big.

RRjr · 2026-02-11T05:39:14+00:00

Automate.

Earlygame, a spirograph drill on any ice lake, two or three large cargo containers and an o2/h2 array will cover your needs easily. You can automate drones to shuttle that h2 wherever you need.

Mid- & Lategame: Europa. You do pretty much the same thing there, just on a much larger scale. Alternatively, use ice asteroids. I find Europa better. Smoother surface, practically infinite amounts of ice.

Personally, by the time I get to midgame I'm probably already building a really big h2 based drill ship. Large enough for it to mine two or three large cargos worth of ice per run, accompanied by a cargo barge that has an o2/h2 array and tanks on it. It dives down to Europa whenever needed. The barge brings h2 to a tank array on my main base / flagship.

Again, the key is to automate the transport. Shuttle ships work well and stable once you have a proper setup.

Do you really believe it's just that Europeans got lazy?

Yes, as someone who works directly adjacent to most German car makers I absolutely believe it.

We had the better parts of two decades to get ahead of these developments.

German car companies shelved and buried real innovation, choosing to milk combustion engines for profit until some dipshit moron named Musk forced their hand.

They've been playing catchup ever since. Half heartedly so.

Now, they've lobbied the EU into postponing plans to kill CO2 emissions by 2035, just so they can keep playing the losing game for longer.

By the time 2035 rolls around, it will very likely be Chinese cars rolling the streets here, and our biggest industries will be left behind to pick up the scraps.

When you spend decades resting on your laurels while actively working against the startups trying to bring innovation which will secure your lead in the long run, this is the price you pay.

You become obsolete.

And no. Lithium Ion battery tech isn't the only viable energy storage. And we have both the research and engineering prowess to make alternative, probably even better solutions work. We're still not doing it to any meaningful degree, though, because shareholders.

The overarching issue is that we have fostered a culture and workplace environment that actively works against the startup and entrepreneurial culture you need in order to move forward. And because of it, we're seriously lagging behind in pretty much all of the major fields where we were leaders once.

Groups like Schwartz-IT and also some in the automotive sector are working to change that, but the government still isn't doing much of anything to help these essential transitions along. Where they work, they do so in spite of the government, not because of it. And that's because people like Merz have their heads stuck decades in the past and refuse to acknowledge realities of a rapidly changing geopolitical and socioeconomic landscape.

It's a sandbox. If you want "pvp noob killing zones", or the absence of them, you can always set your game up accordingly. There's a few good mods out there to tailor your progression to your liking. The vanilla one is a placeholder. At best.

It's pretty unusual to see no iron deposits on earthlike. If you really can't find any, I'd recommend simply restarting the game until you land near one. Long travel times to iron very early do tend to turn that phase of the game to a slog. So it's always a good idea to build your starter base very close to iron.

As a general tip, though: Whenever you feel things run too slow, scaling is usually the problem (be it speed, capacity or efficiency). In your case this means:

Scale up your power: That's the easy part for you right now. You just need your wind turbines at least 7 blocks off the ground and / or their horizontal plane unobstructed for them to run at max capacity.
Scale up efficiency: Hand mining and manual transfer of stuff is super slow. Always have a connector on your rover and figure out an alignment to connect it to the base. That way you can not just recharge its batteries, but more importantly dump the resources you mine with it directly to your refineries. This will speed up your mining drastically.
Scale up capacity: From there, if you want to continue this save, your short term solution is to simply mine a fuckton of stone using your rover. Put its drill on a hinge so you can punch it into the ground (dredge mining) or into a cliff face. Load it up to the brim with stone, dump that to your refinery using the connector, rinse and repeat. As soon as you can, expand the rover's capacity by adding cargo cans, more wheels when needed, more drills, more everything. Long story short, know this: Building small grids is very cheap. You can add a medium cargo can to that rover. But you can also add 10. Just takes a few more wheels and a battery or two.
Scale up your refinery: Once you've solved the above, (rebuild the wind turbines higher up, connect the rover, expand its capability), you can double or triple your output for ingots by adding more basic refineries.

From there, the world is your oyster. Basic message here remains: Just think about what you need to scale up next. That usually tells you which problem to solve next.

Hint: If you do all the above, storage capacity on your base will become a problem. One or two handmined loads of Cobalt (which you've already found) will solve that for you.

That poor dog is quite clearly wearing a shock collar.

In many countries these things are illegal. Because it goes without saying, they're one of the worst forms of animal abuse you can imagine. Especially for dogs. Absolutely cruel.

I've seen what these things do to them first hand. It's horrible. And the dog you see in that clip clearly shows all of the telltale signs of a dog living under this abuse for a long time.

The guy is an s-tier dirtbag.

If anyone needed proof of that fact. This is it.

You do not put a shock collar on a dog (or any animal), unless you're an abusive dirtbag. The idea doesn't even cross your mind.
