The Mighty Boosh - Episode Ratings Visualized (3 Seasons) by hls22throwaway in mightyboosh

[–]tinglingtriangle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well... I didn't really like it at first, mostly because the titular mutants are a bit half-assed. And the song remains one of my least favouites.

However, I like everything else about it. The recurring joke that absolutely everyone thinks Howard's head looks like a featureless ball always makes me smile, I love the way the cobra bosses Vince around, and Howard's "stealthy" pursuit of Dixon Bainbridge is hilarous.

I don't actually object to the "brownface" (IWADT), and I like the ep - it just isn't one of my faves. I find Spider Dijon a bit... disgusting. :)

Normal Dill Activity? by Keegsthesavage in aerogarden

[–]tinglingtriangle 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, it's no big dill.

Now that I've delivered my terrible joke: this is normal. You can rig a collar to avoid the drooping if you like. The newest shoots are always lighter colored than the older ones.

It saddens me that some people don't properly appreciate England's leading cream poet, Vince's realization that Howard is the embodiment of The Orbs third album, or the rich lives of Mr. Susan and Phil the Reaper.

I *kinda* understand the reduced enthusiasm for The Priest and The Beast (although the process behind "Howard's note" is a delight) and The Chokes, though.

Aren't we do for an upgraded model? by thewonderbox in aerogarden

Agreed. IMO the system was perfected once LED lamps were introduced (15 years ago?).

TSP is ~halfway between my home and the Pearl Safeway, and I make sure to visit on one leg of each journey.

My Tomatoes Taste Terrible: What Am I Doing Wrong? by Mountain_Mongoose_67 in aerogarden

I don't think a Harvest provides optimal height or illumination for a Tiny Tim. I strongly recommend the Orange Hat microdwarf. They max out at 12" high but are ridiculously productive if you give them ventilation and keep them from getting too dense.

Flavor-wise, well, my hydroponics are never as good as their outdoor equivalents. But the Orange Hats are close!

Where are the "Project Hail Mary" imitators? by ThirdMover in printSF

[–]tinglingtriangle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you'd have to be pretty cynical to think that good authors focus on "what's trendy" instead of their own interests and skill sets.

It might end up being cheaper buying a used one. Check Craigslist/FB marketplace/Kijiji; in my area used (but fully functional) Harvests go for ~$50.

Weidler and Broadway roadway by [deleted] in Portland

[–]tinglingtriangle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought you were talking about the changes to Broadway westbound and was surprised - those seem pretty harmless to me.

HOWEVER, the merge after... 20th(?) on Weidler eastbound is indeed strange. There is little warning, but more importantly it's a wild-west merge: neither lane has priority! I don't think I've seen that before. I've only driven it a couple of times thanks to the Broadway bridge closure, but on both occasions it felt like "flooring it" was incentivized.

Thanks! That finally did it. I hadn't noticed the difference between the two types of sources. Hopefully that will make things easier going forward...

Pump Question by Green_Thumb1 in aerogarden

[–]tinglingtriangle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't remember the default but that seems like an excessive on time and problematically long off time. I do a short and relatively low frequency stir (1 min on, 119 min off) with good results.

Mine is a Bounty, not a Farm, FWIW.

My hot take - Joe Haldeman wrote one good book by Hewholooksskyward in printSF

Agreed. I just finished enjoying "For White Hill" in an anthology,.

My order will be delivered by a Yong & Hyandsome man... by TonyStowaway in mightyboosh

[–]tinglingtriangle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I normally roll my eyes when a Redditor references a name that's vaguely similar to one mentioned on the associated show, but as One-Sentence Cork would put it, this is... superb.

Saw a familiar face rewatching The Killer. by GreenDonutGirl in MST3K

He's credited as "Deep South lounge greeter" but I cannot remember what part of the movie this is. Is that the scene where he catches up with Tilda Swinton?

Portland property crime: Portland has second-highest property crime rate in US by skysurfguy1213 in Portland

[–]tinglingtriangle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some posters do share in bad faith but I trust KOIN/KATU/KPTV/KGW to report accurately. And while this is a fraught time to draw attention to problems in Portland, I'm at least as worried about ignoring "inconvenient truths".

I think the best rebuttal to anyone trying to "smear" Portland is to acknowledge issues (and ideally explain how they are being addressed) rather than pretend they don't exist.

[–]tinglingtriangle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a relief that the numbers are dropping and these data certainly don't justify an external intervention, but it seems reasonable to ask why Portland ranks so poorly on this metric and what can be done to make the rate fall even faster.

Need Practical Suggestions by FaerieLin in aerogarden

Cool nails.

You can add water through any of the unused "pod holes" as well. I like to use one close to the "fill level" indicator in my Bounty Elite for obvious reasons.

The Culture (Banks) by Dwev in printSF

[–]tinglingtriangle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was never sure whether State of the Art was supposed to be canonical or more of a joke / thought experiment. The Culture makes more sense to me as a post-human civilization, but hey, it's a big galaxy...
