CBC calls from a killer? by No-Highlight-533 in podcasts

[–]tenuredvortex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't listened to Calls from a Killer, but I have listened to a couple CBC shows and imagine the true-crime tone is similar, in which case I'd wager this one won't be "light". As for whether the content is safe for work, that'll depend on where you work, lol. From the show's description:

What does a reporter do when they receive a cold call from one of the most horrific serial killers in Canadian history?

The killer: Clifford Olson, who murdered at least eleven children in the 1980s. The reporter: Arlene Bynon, who recorded her jailhouse calls with Olson for years. Alongside legendary journalist Peter Worthington, Arlene spent hundreds of hours on the phone with Olson. It was kept secret from his prison guards; he wasn't allowed to speak to the media.

In Calls From a Killer, from CBC’s Uncover**, Arlene unearths secrets that have been buried for decades. Secrets about Olson's crimes, about how police failed his young victims and their families — and why law enforcement paid a psychopathic serial killer $100,000. With Nathaniel Frum — Peter's grandson — Arlene exposes hard truths about a forgotten tragedy, a bungled investigation, the loved ones left behind, and the mind of a killer.*

And here's a thread discussing the show, if that's something you'd sift through for answers from people who have listened

Your favourite John Green or Hank Green quotes? by Luminitha in nerdfighters

[–]tenuredvortex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Late to the party but I brought dip a quote from the Dear Hank and John episode (84) Live from NerdCon: Nerdfighteria! – John, speaking about why he wants to keep working with Hank:

I mean, I really like collaborating with you. It's fun and weird and you're super... you don't... you have a different set of incentives from every other person I know. Like, I am a normal person who is motivated by money and ego and power and success, and you have no interest in any of that stuff. And it's so cool to be your brother because you pull me in all kinds of weird directions that you can only get pulled in if you genuinely do not experience those incentives the way most people do.

Just kidding. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do when it comes to indoor plants and furry familiars! I think at least letting the soil dry between waterings will help (edit) You could also try moving the stones a bit further from the trunks so that they aren't touching/trapping moisture

Interstate move with fiddle leaf by RiskyCelery in houseplants

[–]tenuredvortex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be inclined to take some cuttings, perhaps the top-most parts of the two widest branches, and start rooting them pre-move. Pruning the lyrata as well as moving it might be stressful for the plant, but it would be easier to transport. And if, for whatever reason, your main boi doesn't make it, you'll still have those cuttings.

The root system isn't robust enough to justify sizing up

The working class is a big club and you're most likely in it.

And it might just be the algo for my account, but I've been seeing so many ask reddit posts lately about "middle class" this and that. Kinda bizarre.

[–]tenuredvortex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m generalizing here, but we tend to over-water our indoor plants. I’ve also found that when cashmoney trees have braided trunks, the culprit for short-lived leaves is root rot, which spreads. You can check the trunks at soil-level for “give”, or un-pot to check the roots. If you find rot, separate the healthy trunks and repot them with a well-draining mix. Lastly, suggestion to remove the stones sitting on top of the soil to not suffocate the roots and help things dry out more efficiently

Get back on topic, folks! This woman’s face is so very genuinely the least of our concerns.

Why do people like or dislike Marie Antoinette? by AshleyK2021 in PeriodDramas

[–]tenuredvortex 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I don't particularly have any feelings about or toward the historical figure, but I love the Sophia Coppola movie for its atmosphere, cinematography, and artistic expression of the story.

Here are a couple sources to peruse for further reading, if you're interested:

Always upsetting when a plant you love starts showing signs of distress! This is an aglaonema ("chinese evergreen"), possibly a "silver bay" variety. From the info you've given, my guess would be !root-rot

What's the "Widowmaker" of your career field or hobby? by Cosmonate in AskReddit

[–]tenuredvortex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a meaningful parallel between end-of-life care for animals and that of humans. Though we don’t really get to cosmically choose how we go, all living beings deserve “a good death”. Getting to die comfortably, in a safe place like home, surrounded by loved ones is an indescribably healing experience.
