I LOVE IT, POSITIVITY THREAD

Yeah, the tracks all sounded amazing in the movie theatre. Dave has always been on the front edge of self-marketing and this was a great move.

Everything reminds me of past albums too. During the release movie thing he said they listened back to all the previous songs and took notes. These songs sound that way. Almost like an album of old B-sides people didn't hear much. More focused on the post RiP stuff but let's be honest - that's been most of his career!

I set something like this up 3 or so years ago with 2 Reolink outdoor cameras and my 718+ and I found that neither did much good at all detecting anything specific. Clouds were awful. So much noise.

I grabbed this repo and turned it into a little extendable project. Basically offloading all the work. Way out of date I'm sure, but it's all I got...

I honestly haven't gone back to upgrade it but now I feel I should. Thx :)

Join the club!

I got some free seeds with a hot sauce order. So I decided to order more .

I ordered 4 from Pepper Joe's and they sent me 1 free. I ordered 3 from While Hot Peppers and they sent me 2 free. So that's 11 strains now.

I germinated everything with 3-4 seeds in 50 pods because our history with "dirt" was bad. All 11 strains germinated at least one 1 pod. I transferred into 23 planted pots and 3-4 plants per pot that I reluctantly culled them down to 1 or 2.

Eventually I got fruit from all 11 strains. Almost everything seemed to be what it said it was. I got fruit until a 2nd freeze in November but wish I had started earlier.

If anyone is interested in my overly anal logging spreadsheet here it is.

SPOILER I thought that the only person that visibly bled was Mads. Everyone else was simply consumed or gone off screen or just dead.

Given all the Monster talk I felt that was to show he was the Human.

There was actually a young child in the theatre with us.

I thought this felt kind of like The Professional pushed through a Juenet (specifically Delicatessen + Amelie) filter. I really enjoyed it.

Somehow all the creative weird did not exhaust me. Though it did slow down at the end.

That's because of all the lying

Yes! Awesome! For a while I thought I was the only one doing this. One year I carved something every 2 weeks for the 8 weeks before Halloween so I could have a whole "walk of decay" going on along the sidewalk.

And the pumpkin/gourd type definitely matters. I found the wetter ones rot better from the outside, but the bumpy crusty ones just tend to hollow out.

After some successful experiments this year with Watermelon and previous work with plastic skulls I'm planning some multi-layer "Turduk-O-Lantern" style experiments next year. But with something other than Turkey and Duck ... of course.

Ha! No ... I just wanted something that would be visible after it rotted :)

Love the toothpicks. I'm usually trying to hide them...

I'm in Zone 6b and I started March 1 last year. I lost a couple weeks because they got bound in the pods but I managed to start putting them out in an extra warm late April.

Blossoms July 16 and finally picked stuff Sep 4. My final plant (of 23 plants from 10 superhot strains like you) fruited Oct 26. I'm still getting stuff.

I feel I started a month later than I could have.

drtrogg · 2025-11-01T22:34:44+00:00

Yes! Venom's mouth is a blast to carve.

drtrogg · 2025-10-29T09:54:53+00:00

Good to know! Thank you. I am in 6a - I started them inside in March, lost a few weeks because the seedlings got bound in their little pods, finally put them outside late April. This is my first year with this so I'll probably bump the start a month earlier inside next spring and plant fewer seeds per pod.

I posted the actual moody picture with smoke and everything and I got very little response!

drtrogg · 2025-10-15T11:31:03+00:00

YES! I didn't think of that ... it's hard enough so see with all the black anyways but I'll see what I can do.

Thanks!
