It's like they say: "Where there's a whip there's a way"

"None of these candidates" is looking like they still might *clinch the victory!

Good; great. I still believe in the reusing of things and believe that mass organizing and logistics of it have extremely significant value. However, the workers have deserved much better pay since minimum wage has not kept up with the cost of living.

Whenever anyone complains about California labor laws, I just assume they're upset they couldn't take more off the top at this point.

Brave New World. That teacher got me into some sci-fi & dystopian greats!

ALL GLORY TO HYPNOTOAD!!!

One of the greatest things about building a Tyranids army (or at least when I played during 3rd/4th/5th edition) is that you can more or less do whatever color scheme you enjoy the most. There are more than a handful ideas out there based on the different Tyranid Fleets in the lore though. Also agreed that this person's doing one bangup of a job!

You've GOTTA GIVE!!!

I've never actively fed any of my CPs. From what I've read, occasional is fine. VFTs can only handle so many closings on a leaf, but I'm really only familiar with sundew Spatulata, which don't do much. I think the most important things are right water, enough light, and good potting.

I will GROND every day until I'm accepted as a subscriber.

When a host server of a frediverse server defederates, they no longer share/update their info. So right now, kbin (I get kbin.social on my feed and subscribed there) is connected/federated with Lemmy. We can post there; their members can post here. We all receive updates/copies of each other's posts. All of us are in the same conversation. When defederation happens, it's like no longer talking to each other. We could still use the kbin.social page we were subscribed to, but everything new would be "us"/Lemmy only and we wouldn't see Kbins members, and they wouldn't see ours. Or: the virtual information sharing cable is cut, and we only see what was there or is added from our own end. Beehaw cut it's information off from Lemmy due to the rapid increase of users wanting access (from what I've seen).

I lightly top water it and try not to let too much be in the bottom. The reservoir is maybe only 1", so one overwater won't get it too wet for too long, fortunately. Or if I'm daring I can empty it out into my other plants.

I had one spatulata that I separated and none of them made it, so I don't dare try to do the same until some unplanned seedlings pop up. It got too much for its original pot, but is doing better again in the bigger one.

I believe it was latte.isnot.coffee, but it appears they recently opened up. Or I was just a confused new user and didn't realize what instance the community/post was under. You can search for instances at: https://browse.feddit.de/ In cased you missed it, Beehaw defederated at the start of the recent big Reddit migration, so we won't receive any external post/updates and vise-versa outside of your own instance. If I'm oversimplifying or need correction - anyone correct me!

What's next? All NSFW subs having pictures/stories of OSHA/worker safety violations? BigButts just some ol' plumber cleavage.

The first local instance I signed up before I fully understood/realized what I was doing was focused on getting together a Chinese or Chinese American instance. Seemingly decent, but I just really didn't want to be barging in on something that wasn't for me. People seem to really be liking Jerboa, but I find it much simpler finding other instances in the web browser. I still have much to learn though.

If you ain't 3rd you're... 5th?

The only rational way to be upset would be if you were dead set on the steamy John Oliver exposure! I just had to do a role-reversal of John and the man whose foot was on his neck for over a season, daddy Driver.

"I want to see a sexy picture of John Oliver." "We have a sexy picture of John Oliver at home." Sexy picture of John Oliver at home: Adam Driver

100% even for people who would consider themselves more of a casual or infrequent reader. Anecdotally, I've found it harder to sell the show to some people after they watched the first two or three episodes compared to the books for any acquaintance I know who's into Sci-Fi/reading. The descriptions of the social/society explanations are just as well written as the series' tech, and the co-authors do a great job. At least one of them was one of GRRM's editors, so the style structure is somewhat similar, but the writing is an easier read. It is written in character chapters, so as long as that isn't a total turnoff I'd recommend them.

There are some slight differences that are typical between the show/book. I believe the first 2 seasons are mostly from book 1 and then it picks up from there. I believe it's the second book, where there is a bit more of the geopolitical storyline compared to the others. Like with most reading, you get better insight to characters' thought processes and motivations. Books 7-9 aren't touched on at all in the show, and take place after the show's end. That's all I really know about the final 1/3 of the series.
