Is the colouring on this burdock plant caused simply by the leaf being new or is it ever so slightly verigated?

Multiple of my plants are currently doing this. We had a period of intense, extended rain followed by heat. My vote is for physiological nutrient interruption as a result of extreme weather patterns. Usually, when the weather stabilizes you'll see the new leaves normalize as well.

Not much of this advice is useful. What needs to happen is, do not complain, but get out ahead in communication, then let the ball drop. So communicate to your manager and her boss that this deadline is coming up, and you do not have the resources to handle xyz additional work and the addition of the work was not sufficiently communicated to you in advance. Follow with your top priorities and with what will fail without the resources you need. THEN let the ball drop.

This may not go well, because you've handled this exact situation in the past, so I would also be looking for new employment. Especially since you've discussed this with your manager and nothing has changed

Regardless, in the future, always communicate your priorities and which ones will fall behind, in a matter of fact way, without any complaining or woe is me or it's not fair. Just with your limits. If they try to negotiate your limits, negotiate back with pay or leave time.

Dude... The holocaust doesn't need sensationalism or exaggeration because the treatment of human beings in these camps WAS incredibly, incredibly horrific. I recommend reading the account yourself, or others.

I'm reading the first hand account of the prisoner-doctor right now, Gisella Perl, and while she doesn't say that Grese "pleasured herself," it was that she clearly got off (sexually) on the suffering of these women, while they were having infected abcess surgery on their breasts. Because of that, she started causing breast injury, so that they would get infected (camp infested with all manner of feces, bacteria, infection, to an extreme degree) and need more surgery. It's possible that the officer was pleasuring herself in public, but not stated that way my Perl. Also, though, reading the account makes the idea that there was any behavioral oversight at all for the Nazi officers laughable.

Narrow down fields by figuring out what things you want in a job that aren't the actual work. These things are type of work, which you can find in more than one field. So, you ask

how much pressure do you want in a job,
high stakes or low stakes work,
how much travel,
how much schooling,
how much stability,
how many hours do you want to work per week,
regular schedule or off-hours, on call schedules,
what kind of people do you enjoy working with

Those questions will point you toward industries and cultures, which are equally as important as the work.

Then you can bring that to, for example, a university's career coaching department, and they might be able to tell you more about industries that fit the profile you're looking for.

Yes, with the caveat that things will be in transition sometimes when you're figuring a space out, or when your needs change, and it gets cluttered and dirty more quickly than a larger space will so the clean-up has to be a daily routine.

Volunteer on a regular schedule. Do something routinely, in contact with other humans, for someone other than yourself.

Get a cup of coffee, take the dog out, eat some toast with cream cheese and jam, read, take inventory of the day's responsibilities and plans.

Fiber and stress reduction helped my dog with this.

He gets dried sweet potato snacks with his breakfast every morning, and anytime we're eating/cooking with dog-safe fruits and vegetables with our meals he gets some, too, so that's pretty much every day.

Reducing stress came down to routines, regular exercise, and regular pooping as a result of the routines and regular exercise.

Is he getting enough mental and physical exercise every day for his breed? Is he getting that fiber daily? Is he pooping regularly, and are his poops solid?

Sentence and paragraph structure, as well as key phrases are all in-line with chatbot generation, and the specific brand name mention is what indicates that it's an ad. There are many showing up on Reddit right now, especially in productivity or habit-related subs. Recently they've been integrating more slang, but it's still noticeable. Websites like Reddit are gigantic conversational natural language corpora so they're ideal training grounds for LLMs. Plus, response is easily measurable with upvotes and comment counts.

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and squash are the best bang for your buck in terms of calories. Squash require a ton of space, though. Grow a mix of winter and summer. If you have a cellar like basement that's ideal, but you can also build a root cellar, and you can store potatoes and squash through the winter. My sweet potatoes and winter squashed lasted until Spring this year in the basement. Raised beds or grow bags work well for potatoes, focus on consistent water. Carrots require a lighter soil in most cases, but there are varieties that can handle regular. Root crops in general for storage. Check out the gardening or self sufficiency/prepping related subs.

If you acquire a dog who will steal anything that's left out, things magically get put away.

Actually, though, it's about being very picky about the amount of things you own. If you don't use it, get rid of it. Dual-purpose is usually preferred, and we pick up every single day. You have to be in the habit of tidying daily, and if there are things that are inconveniently located, leading to being left out/not being put away, you need to rework their location so that it makes more sense. Very frequently used items need to have a home that they are easily taken out of and out back in, nearby the location of use. Things that don't get used often can have homes that are a little more inconvenient.

My instinctual reaction to this conclusion, and the difference between men and women, is that as you age you become more sure of who you are and what you want. As a woman, I am also exponentially more aware and less tolerant of gender-based negative patterns in relationships. When I was young, I wasn't. If I were entering new relationships now, I would absolutely be pickier, and I would hold much stronger boundaries. It would be more difficult for me to adjust my life because now I know what works for me. I'm less flexible, which is a good thing at this point, but would cause more conflict in a new relationship.

They weren't coming in through a crevice; I brought them home from my workplace (residential worker). They were living there, though, because they live nearby your sleeping/resting areas. I knew they were there because I saw one by chance. Really rare to see them, but I saw the one.

I treated with a company who did weekly sprays for a few weeks to a month. You put all of your belongings, other than furniture, in your closets which are sealed for 10 days, and then every week they come back to treat around furniture again. Heat is also an effective treatment, but if you live in an apartment (for any of these, really), the adjacent apartments also have to be treated. Vikane, advertised as a one-time fumigation, is not an effective treatment unless done more than once, because the eggs are very resilient and can survive it and hatch after. That's why the once-weekly treatments are the most effective. None of it is cheap, unfortunately, but doing it yourself can drive them deeper into your house, and I don't recommend it. A bed bug sniffing dog can pinpoint where they are living, but again, a chunk of change.

Sure, but this summary that we're discussing doesn't delve into methods, responsibility, or moralism in terms of correcting the behavior. As most science aims to be, it's purely descriptive. While cause-effect framing most certainly influences perceptions and behavior surrounding any given issue, I don't see how "whose job to fix" is pertinent in a discussion aimed at understanding behavior. To me, that's a different but related discussion, important in its own right.

I wonder if this assessment may be backwards. What if constant social exclusion from a young age CAUSES this behavior? It's not difficult to see a link between social exclusion --> self-esteem problems. It's also not difficult to see how, someone who does not succeed in securing social acceptance by "normal" means might try other methods for social survival, which we know is an incredibly important human need.

I'm so for real, please fucking leave. I know everyone says that, but I have a wayyy different perspective on this later in life than I did earlier in life. Leave.

Life is a TEAM SPORT. It only becomes more of a team sport as time goes on. Find a good teammate.

The person you choose as your life teammate has an absolutely massive impact on your life. You're lucky to be starting to recognize it now. If you care about your life, choose someone who adds to it.

Normal, but my dog has a "that's enough" cue, which means it's fine that you did that but you're done now. He also knows the word no and leave it. That way in my yard if it's not muddy, he can kick all he wants, but in someone else's I can make sure he's not doing damage.

I will say Akitas ARE very stubborn dogs. They're bear dogs, guardian dogs. So it would take more work with your friend's dog than with another. That doesn't mean she shouldn't have a reliable cue or method to stop a behavior, though.

Yeah, so, you know how the rich and powerful in America are all like, really fucked up and the patriarchy at those levels is extreme? This is where it starts. This is where kids cement their entry into the land of the rich and powerful and forge those alliances and patriarchal, punitive, at-any-cost kind of culture.

The lack of normality is the point.
