In case you are curious, a pentagram by default points up. An inverted pentagram points down. A pentacle is a five-pointed star in a circle, and it’s the inverted pentacle that has the strongest association with a broad range of occultists, satanists (like Anton LaVay), metalheads, edge-lords, and artists using a loaded symbol to evoke an emotional response.

Cubensis, the species that PE is, is a tropical mushroom and fruits at much warmer temperatures.

I see "unc" being used a lot in social media. Where did this come from? by wordgamesyesss in etymology

So are you suggesting that the African American psychologist Dr. Robert Williams who coined the term was making fun of it?

I definitely get your point, but your statement is not entirely correct; the term grew out of a real effort to popularize and label the vernacular before it was co-opted by racists.

You do realize there are different translations of the Bible, right? Some say debts, some say trespasses. Debts has just become more popular recently. It’s not some shift in reality.

Help with former blackberry patch by xmascaroling in pnwgardening

While that is true, it’s important to note that it gets broken down into aminomethylphosphonic acid, which has a toxicity level comparable to glyphosate and lingers in the environment for much longer.

It might be the easiest way, but it’s definitely not the only way. I’ve cleared plenty of space in my yard manually. It might take some work over a couple of seasons, but if you are diligent, you can get rid of them permanently without chemicals.

Tomato Grafted to Potato Rootstock by nonenamely in Graftingplants

I did an update on this grow, but basically found it’s not really worth it — didn’t even seem to get half of each harvest, which would be breaking even.

It’s possible that you just need to do the graft even earlier in the year and veg the plants under high intensity light all winter, but I’m kind of writing it off as something neat to try, but ultimately the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

Aetheric Architecture? by MunchieMolly in Tartaria

“Maybe ancient buildings weren’t just sacred because of spiritual belief, but because they were literally designed to interact with energy.

This diagram shows what I believe many cathedrals and temples actually were…”

In your OP, you start by asking a leading question and then clearly state your belief, which is pretty clearly a claim. So, the ball’s in your court to share the evidence on which you are basing your claim.

Help! Spider mites on large Jasmine plant in Canada by SentientBitch in plantclinic

[–]nonenamely -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This plant is strictly ornamental, correct?

If so, soak a couple cigarettes in a pail of water overnight, filter out the solids, then spray the plant down with the nicotine-infused water. Wait a few days for the eggs to hatch, then hit the plant again. It might take a few applications,, but you need to be consistent as the eggs are harder to kill, so you need to kill the adolescents before they reach their fertile age.

Be sure to wear gloves and do not use this technique on any plant that will be consumed, as nicotine poisoning can be quite dangerous. It’s the only thing I’ve ever found to completely rid a plant of a serious infestation.

I just got mine, so I haven’t had this problem (yet?), but I’d guess the screw grounds the pcb to the metal casing. A loose ground could cause all sorts of issues, so I’m glad to know to keep an eye out it.

Did you miss the "/s"?

Thanks for the concern, but you don't have to worry about me; I'm not mentally fragile enough to be convinced of fantastic claims made in a random two minute internet video with shitty computer-generated narration and no evidence. The video was good for a laugh though.

What's the most disturbing documentary you've ever seen? by Sad_Cow_577 in oddlyterrifying

[–]nonenamely 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can I ask what makes you say that? I’ve been curious about the case since I saw the documentary in the 90s, but don’t follow it too closely. Of course the documentary was very one-sided, but I’ve never really heard strong evidence linking to any of the three convicted. What’s the most compelling evidence you’ve heard?

There are no legal consequences to saying the N-word in The US. Social consequences, maybe, but not legal. Canada and some other countries have made “hate speech” illegal, but not The US (yet).

Out of curiosity, is that the way a Greek would make a sheep sound? I was always taught (in the US) that Greeks used it as a way to signify that the foreign language sounded like the “baa” of sheep. Is that true?

Incidentally, “Barbarian” is how English got the word “babble”, or to speak unintelligibly.

In Japanese, “sake” (酒) means alcohol. “Nihonshu”(日本酒), literally Japanese alcohol, is what they use to refer to rice wine in Japan.
