  • There are dozens of us.

    In all seriousness, I do occasionally visit select subreddits even though I no longer have an account. I'd like to think leaving reddit has changed my internet browsing habits in a good way.

  • Going for some locally adapted strains is a great idea. Thanks for that! I'm actually a terrible gardener so I hadn't thought of it. I just used what little seeds my neighbour gave me, and in limited area because I tend to prioritise fruits over veggies and they are what dominate most of my garden. The little space I experimented with tomatoes on is currently occupied by legumes.

  • The tight temperature range is something I very much agree with you on. I think climate conducive to their growth play a big factor in disease immunity as well. I've seen them thrive like weeds in sub tropical regions. But for some reason, even in controlled conditions, they fail to do that well here in my area.

  • We're in agreement, then. It's a shame that the woman was straight up executed for such a tiny amount over the limit. I bet most of us couldn't even feel that 15 grams of difference if placed on our palms. But that's how it is in SG despite us outsiders wishing for a less than lethal judgement, and they do try to warn people of the consequences of possession at every step of the way to that country. So the onus is, to an extent, on the visitors as well to protect themselves.

    I watched a few vids in the past where random Singaporeans were asked what they thought of the capital punishment and while most agreed it was severe, they also said it made sense considering their country was hamstrung by widespread opium addiction in the past. Unfortunate, but if the Singaporeans themselves don't push for the change, it's unlikely to happen anytime soon.

  • And in no way am I denying it. I thought it was imperative to mention the type of drug alongside the dose since heroin has a lower minimum amount you can be caught with and still walk away. She wouldn't have been executed for 31 grams of weed.

    I merely added info from the article that was missing on the OP's comment, I don't necessarily agree with SG's laws.

  • I'm not saying it is. I simply meant that heroin being a far more potent drug, the minimum amount that qualifies you for SG's draconian punishment is lower. That minimum amount being roughly half of what this woman was caught with, ie, at 16gms IIRC.

    I believe you're taking your anger out on the wrong person here. I didn't make those laws, I wouldn't have. But it is what it is, and from what I've seen on the internet, most Singaporeans seem to be either apathetic to it or in support of it given their history with opium.

  • I second Vivaldi. It's a great chromium based alternative to chrome, and the level of customisation on offer is jaw-dropping. Its mouse gestures in particular, have been a huge convenience. The only thing about it that irks me somewhat is that it's noticeably slower to start compared to Firefox and Edge.

  • I don't think Reddit will feel a noteworthy sting anytime soon. But that's okay. Like some here have already said, what matters is fediverse ultimately growing big enough for us to have a sizeable group of people to interact with regarding hobbies or any random topic posted here.

    Although, I can't move on without whining about the bug or whatever it was that prevented me from commenting anywhere for the last ...almost a month! On rare occasions, I couldn't even see anything on my feed so Lemmy clearly has ways to go in regards to matters outside of its contents.
