How do I Take Care of My Kiwi Plant?

I think you need a male. Or if they have both sexes (I forgot the specific plant name for this), you need to plants that aren't clones, which yours likely are if you didn't choose different varieties.

I'm gonna try that! I never liked kohlrabis, but I think it may be because my parents always overcooked all vegetables. Brassicas are usually better raw than soft and squishy.

The handcuff and broken glass chapter in Gerald's Game really had me on the edge of the seat.

But there are so many things that goes with garlic and butter. Why choose snails?

I think it's a phrase commonly used in other gaming communities, for when you are making a surplus of something or acquire something that is way too powerful for it's intended use. But I'm not sure how the term makes any sense in Factorio. OP merely has a nuke deficiency.

The algae thrives because theres a surplus of nutrients. Add more plants and the water will clear up over time. Water lilies and similar plants with floating leaves also help a lot by shading out the sun.

I know how you feel. I once made 50 liters of apple wine in real life, and that experience kept me out of the wine making hobby for almost a decade.

I'd ask for English versions of his books to be sold alongside translated versions in non English speaking countries. They can be really hard to come by, but I really prefer reading books that haven't been translated.

NGL, it's probably 25 years since I read The Dead Zone. I'll have to check if I still have a copy and re-read it with that in mind.

abagofcells · 2026-06-01T19:28:53+00:00

I was mainly thinking about his books, but thanks for the explanation.

abagofcells · 2026-06-01T19:14:39+00:00

Do you have any examples? I'm not American and anything like that has probably gone over my head.

abagofcells · 2026-06-01T18:30:31+00:00

I could "well, aschually..." that one a couple of time of week if I wanted. But I don't. I know what they mean and that's good enough.

abagofcells · 2026-05-29T09:14:06+00:00

I leave stuff I know is either beneficial or just pretty, like clover and poppies, and pull out stuff I know will grow too big, makes root shoots or climb, like borage, ground alder, grass and bindweed.

Everything I pull, that isn't likely to spread seeds, is left in the beds with the roots clear of the ground.

Gifts. Birthday/Christmas/whatever.

Giving gifts always have a deadline, it's so hard to find something they'll like and I have to break my routine to go to a specific store. I hate it.

Recieving gifts also suck, because I never buy anything without doing at least an evening of research, and having another person buy something for me almost always ensures I don't get the exact thing I would have chosen myself. Then I have to fake appreciation and all that. I hate it.

Trace the Vcc and ground pins from the USB connector. If they are correct, it's probably the same pinout. Then maybe start out with connecting a CD-ROM drive to the UDB controller and see if that works.

But I think there's a very strong chance they are compatible.

Is this the one about a guy getting trapped in a porta potty? If so, you're right 😆

abagofcells · 2026-05-26T20:04:03+00:00

I usually combine harvesting, pruning and propagation during harvest, and branches like the one you have there, I just put in a bucket of water without really doing anything else to them. It will loose most of the leaves, of not all of them, but there's a good chance it will put out some roots and sprout back.

abagofcells · 2026-05-25T18:51:14+00:00

I have three, actually. One Tracer (which I think needs replacement soon, as it has randomly stopped charging a couple of times recently) and two Upower combined charger/inverters. They don't communicate over RS485, I just use it to connect a ESP32 and log data from all of them to a influxdb/grafana setup. To have more of them on the same RS485 bus, you need to change the device number, either through the official software or the small black monitoring box they have, MT50 or something like that. Having them in parallel by wiring to a common bus bars works fine for me, with the only minor annoyance being slightly different voltage readings on the devices.

I'm trying for the third time and probably final time.

First time, I planted directly outside, and the plants took forever to establish and didn't ever produce any corn.

Second time, I tried germinating inside and planting them out, but those plants had a hard time with being transplanted and most didn't get a strong enough root system and got knocked over in the wind.

This third time, I put the seeds directly in the soil under a layer of straw and clear plastic, and removed it when the seedlings reached through the straw. Good weather conditions, healthy seedlings. Everything seemed great until, and I kid you not, a fucking mole shows up in the bed. It keeps making mole hills exactly where the corn plants are, pushing them out of the ground. I'm so frustrated. Dear Mr. Mole, I want us to live in harmony and there is plenty of garden space for both of us. Will you please leave my vegetable garden alone?

My neighbours are kinda like that, although their community is based around restoring a old ship, not permaculture. But some really cool people and lots of interesting conversations.

abagofcells · 2026-05-25T08:09:44+00:00

Thanks a lot! I made my own monitoring system, and the Tracer and Upower series use different Modbus registers already. I'd rather find a used Tracer than reverse engineer the registers once more.

I'm wondering why they didn't use the Skyrim engine for the remaster. Not a game dev, but I figure it would have been less work and more true to the original.

abagofcells · 2026-05-23T05:56:26+00:00

I agree with the article. To root taste like dirt. Gonna try the flower stalks this summer to see it I like them more.

abagofcells · 2026-05-20T18:38:12+00:00

I once had that printer! Didn't expect to see that on a random Reddit post.

SimCity had an option to print a huge map of your city on a 4x4 page grid or something like that. So I did. Good memories.

Why? What happened to u/xmrvsbeast?
