He’s streets ahead

There’s a distinct musty basement smell. Not like…moldy and swampy, but just a little damp.

Thank you for sticking up for us.

Sincerely, someone deep in the closet for reasons of personal safety.

There’s a hunter2 joke here but I’m too old and tired

In the order they popped into my head:

Letterkenny, Canada’s Worst Driver, The Red Green Show, Degrassi

Easy on the tini

I would like to subscribe to additional funny pigeon anecdotes

I agree with your premise, and here is some additional unsolicited information:

Vanilla ‘beans’ technically are fruit from hand-pollinated orchids! So scraping a seed pod or using extract makes no difference. It’s never been a bean.

Coffee ‘beans’ are seeds from the fruit of coffee trees and shrubs.

As an elder millennial I also did not get that one.

Speculating lmao

I used to work at an animal shelter and as a result have dished up the vast majority of commercially available wet cat foods at some point (we’d get lots of stuff donated to us). At least what’s available where I live. Not gonna lie there have been a few fish ones where they’ve honestly smelled just like a decent fish chowder and I’ve thought ‘you know, in an apocalypse…’. Some are just chunks of mackerel or sardines in sauce and I eat sardines in sauce all the time lol. You’d have to eat a lot of them to get enough calories though. Kitten food is probably the most calorically dense but you won’t get a lot of flavor or texture options, mainly mystery meat pâté.

That makes sense, thanks for teaching me something today :)

I don’t speak Spanish (helpful eh?) but I remember when I was in Mexico I went to a cool place called Xel-Há, which was pronounced shell-ha. So there’s one.

Agree with spider mites, pretty sure I can see webbing between the leaf tips.

Neem will work, so will insecticidal / horticultural soap and it smells less bad. Heck they’re soft-bodied, you could probably spray 50% isopropyl and kill them too. I like the soap because it’s really cheap and safe for pretty much anything without farina / epicuticular wax (I feel like some begonia Rex aren’t a fan either).

This is a good sized infestation so I would recommend starting by rinsing the leaves really well in the shower or with a hose. After debulking the colony, then use insecticide.

Check your other plants too OP! Mites are not particularly particular.

Just workin’ on my night cheese. 🎶

Now it’s over, I’m dead and I haven’t done anything that I want. Or I’m still alive and there’s nothing I wanna do.

I can’t think about how old that song is, it hurts me.

It’s not, it’s a Meijer (Midwest chain).

Rama definitely had octospider robot creatures that communicated with patterns of light on their skin, kind of like cephalopods iirc, but the 90’s were a while ago and I can’t remember many details. Wasn’t Dr. Blue a spiderbot with a ‘speech impediment’ where he could only display blue, or something like that?
