Shaped charges are extremly good for wiping larger clusters.

Keep yourself clean. Keep your room/apartment/house clean. Look happy.

People tell me this why they assume I'm gay.

These two are cool tho'.

If you are non-german or OOTL: One refuses to bite a demonstrator (who is protesting against Nazis) even though it is literally shoved into one, and the other one just bites another cop.

Whatever I have on hand or fit's the dish.

Mostly rapeseed oil, sometimes olive oil. When I first started (before I was able to just guess), I put a drop of water in the pan. As soon as the water started to boil, I added the oil and was ready to go.

Nothing stuck for quite a while. But if it did, sometimes it was enough to wait a bit for everything to release by itself.

Aside from that: butter. Butter does some magic.

And you don't even have to use a cast iron. I've been cooking on stainless steel for a decade. I chuck it in the dishwasher when I'm done.

And as long as it's oiled and hot, nothing sticks; not even eggs or fish. Especially if you use butter. But oil's just fine.

What if I can alternate between both?

Edit: I've looked at it a bit more:

  • I can make the black circles into "windows" that show a red circle behind a white wall.

  • I can also overlay the red circle as a mask in front of the black parts, so that only the black parts make the red circle visible (like in a shader program or when masking parts of an image in a photo editor).

  • Then I can also envision a red hue along the white parts of the image that follows the silhouette of the red circle.

  • And then I can "deactivate" the silhouette again, so that the red parts are simply drawn on top of the black circles, with no relation to each other.

I think this is just a test to see if you have experienced a certain effect before.

I'm still amazed that people just accept this.

What happens, if you are ill for a longer? You can't just work ethic an illness away.

And it's also stupid from the company's perspective. If someone has the flu and you have them come in - well - everyone will be sick and everyones performance will suffer.

Who thought this is acceptable, let alone a good idea?

 

I finally managed to pollinate my cherimoya!

For the uninitiated: Pollinating cherimoyas is a bit tricky, because their flowers only bloom for a single day. During this time, they are initially female and can absorb pollen, but only turn male in the evening to harvest pollen from.

To pollinate them successfully, you have to sacrifice at least one flower, take its pollen and hope that the next flower opens before the pollen is no longer viable.

They also develop large velvety leaves:

TLDR: Citrus keeps turning black and oozing resin. But I can't find the problem. I thought it must be root rot, but they look perfectly healthy:

Long version: Because my first and second citrus trees fell victim to root rot, I started using a very airy substrate made of pine bark, perlite and some humus/worm castings in a 5:1:1 ratio for all my plants (figs, pineapple, cherimoya, monstera, etc.) with little adjustment. You may recognize this as 'aroid mix'. But it works surprisingly well in my indoor space with a west-facing window and terracotta planters (and my tendency to overwater).

But I can't wrap my head around citrus.

It always starts with rapid growth, followed by very suddenly dropping and crisping leaves, black stems and finally death.

I thought I must be root rot again, which I need to mind during winter. But today, when I dumped my fifth (!) tree, I found only perfectly healthy roots and nice smelling substrate.

I think it must be a pathogen… but what? I am at a loss. I keep killing my citrus trees and I don't know why. :'(

EDIT: replaced "5:1:1 mix" with "5:1:1 ratio" for clearification.

One of my smaller monstera pots keeps growing these little mushrooms and I'm wondering what exactly they are.

They come after every watering and dry off pretty quickly in about half a day or so.

EDIT: They are 'fairy inkcaps'. Thanks to Guenther_Amanita@slrpnk.net!
