You could look into: companion planting (some plants help or hinder others. Eg, basil and tomato are good friends); no-dig gardening (alongside having a good soil microbiome); green manure; sacrificial crops to lure pests away from your main crops; aspect and soil type.
Higher potassium and phosphates increase flower and fruit growth. Higher nitrogen increases leafy growth.
Don't grow the same type of plant in the same patch every year.
It's a dumb test anyway. The very act of having a baby would make you some kind of moral degenerate according to this. I'll stick to idrlabs, at least their tests are fun!
Oh I see, thanks! But then why am I able to see certain comment replies only via my inbox but not when I view the actual thread? There are so many comments that aren't visible to me when logged in. I think this is the kind of thing that puts people off lemmy.
Why does logging in hide so much from me? As for spreading the word, I've had no luck getting my old reddit friends over. It's too much trouble for them. Most people will put up with a ridiculous amount of BS.
I'm on a small instance and a large proportion of the lemmyverse is behind a fog of war. I can see some replies to my comments in my inbox, but not when I open the post. Also I'm seeing comms say they have xyz subscribers but I only see 2. Some comms I see no comments but my own. What I see logged in isn't what I see logged out. Small instances have their drawbacks too. I'm still happy here though.
(I agree with you on the rest though. That's my life goal.)
Flow describes an intense and focused concentration on what one is doing in the present moment, a merger of action and awareness, a loss of reflective self-consciousness. In a sense, when someone is in a state of flow, the mind enters a meditative autonomous trance, which can distort their perception of time, as they become solely absorbed in their present action.
Most of us have experienced flow at some point when we have been so absorbed in a physical or creative activity that all our sensations and thoughts have felt reduced to a compressed euphoric singularity, and our actions have felt dissociated and involuntary.
Professor Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, the psychologist who named the concept, said in a 2004 TED Talk that: “When you are really involved in this completely engaging process... [you don’t] have enough attention left over to monitor how [your] body feels, or [your] problems at home… [Your] body disappears – [your] identity disappears from [your] consciousness.”
Did you ever hear the tragedy of GNU Linux The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Windows users would tell you. It’s a OSS legend. GNU Linux was a Dark Lord of the Open Source, so powerful and so wise he could use sudo to influence the midichlorians to install apps… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of sudo is a pathway to many apps some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his niche status, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.
(I'm a pretender still waiting for my Linux box to arrive. I'm sure someone can do a better job of this)
It'd be a shame. I like to pick up my bird food from there (they're one of the few shops that sell budgie seed that isn't padded out with wheat).
Back when I was a kid, going to Wilko was the highlight of our summer visits to our grandparents' house in the Midlands. The stationery section was like wonderland for me, with my 20p a week pocket money.
You can imagine how happy we were when they expanded to London. Their stationery is still pretty decent.
I feel for the workers. I went through this twice already when both my previous employers went into administration. Luckily I found something better and better paid each time. I hope it's the same for them.
Yeah. I tried the vegan cheeses because you have to have cheese on pizza right? (Violife is the only decent tasting one I've found here that doesn't contain carageenan). Then I tried making pizza without cheese and it's just as good. So now I have cheeseless pizza. The flavour comes from the veg.
Anything creative, as a lot of people have suggested. It's highly satisfying to see a finished product you crafted yourself. And they really make you get in the zone and hyperfocus.
Scrapbooking is a good one. Sift through your photos, find some that bring back good memories and get them printed. Invest in a small spiral bound scrapbook, some acid-free coloured paper and decorations (you can get these from poundshops/dollar stores). Look at other people's scrapbooks online and shamelessly copy their designs until you can come up with your own.
Maybe you could even make some for the people you care about. Added bonus of being able to go over good memories with them. Maybe you can bring a smile to both of your faces.
Another cute one is making models out of greyboard (the grey cardboard on the back of refill pads).
Yeah the infamous block editor. As an old skool hand-coder, I can't stand it. You have to manually enable classic editing each time on WordPress.com otherwise it defaults to the Gutenberg editor. I heard it's improved somewhat recently, but when I first used it it was the biggest load of crap, worse than the beep beep boop one, which was at least useable. It was both dumbed down and unintuitive at the same time.
At least on a .org installation, classic editor disables Gutenberg completely.
I do that. I have WordPress.org with classic editor enabled and the raw html plugin. Use a classic layout like twenty twelve if you don't want the fancy effects. Look for a host that has softaculous or something similar to automate the installation. My host charges about £60 pa with unlimited bandwidth.
You can also use WordPress.com for free but it has Gutenberg, which I absolutely cannot bear. Some people like it though. It's also less customisable.
