For a while I thought they were related to the HVAC company since they shoot fire and are over a lava pit. Trent Reznor is the great-grandson of the guy that founded that company.

I’m not really testing the limits of mine, but I don’t think that jujubes are especially particular about good drainage. It’s just the default recommendation for fruiting plants and usually good to aim for. It’s notable when a plant doesn’t have “well-draining soil” listed. Pears are an example of something that can take wet soil. Cherries comparatively hate having their feet wet, but plenty of them are grown in the Pacific Northwest regardless. Creating a bit of a raised mound and planting on it should be enough unless you get multi‐day standing water. The bigger issue might be not having enough hot summer weather to fully ripen them.

Be aware that they can be incredibly invasive as they spread rapidly from the roots. Also most will be on a different rootstock so the shoots won't grow good fruit. You will need to grow it in a large container or be very vigilant on preventing the spread.

I just found out that self-tanner simply does not work on some people, and that I appear to be one of them.  I did not find this out until I had amassed a collection of I don't know how many different self-tanners over several years.

I have a goji berry that came with my house, it's holding a little hill in my backyard together and it's invaded all the way up to the side of the house. I pull goji runners up through the boards of my back deck. I built a raised bed planter open to the ground so the pillbugs and worms that were already in there could get up into it, and every spring I cut goji runners out of it.

This is kinda in the spirit of the thread: The window in my office is about 32 x 32" but doesn't have a screen. I was looking everywhere for an adjustable screen I could pop in there as needed and nothing was the right size. They were all too short but could be extended to about 48". Hey Inzombiac, just buy one and turn it vertically, you dumbass!

The change in skin tone from argyria is a lot more pronounced, and from what I understand amounts to a self-inflicted full body tattoo, so I'm guessing the combo still looks grayish blue rather than greenish.

Oh god. I've just had another one. So, here's guitar virtuosos Tommy and Phil Emmanuel, from their 1995 album Terra Firma, when I would have been nine or ten. My mum had this CD, and I've heard it a million times growing up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bqe2OI6ohZQ At 2:34, one of them starts joking about I think their recording equipment or something: "Sony. The one and only" "Named after a great bluesman" "Sony Terry!" at which the other one just packs up laughing. I always thought it was just a non sequitur, and they were just talking nonsense. I just found out there's a famous blues musician named Sonny Terry!

Jestery posted:Wait, What most of the rest of the world calls “kerosene”, Brits call “paraffin”. It’s a petroleum distillate, heavier than gasoline (petrol) and lighter than diesel fuel. Outside of Britain, “paraffin” is an artificial wax that is solid at room temperature, used to make candles. Platystemon has a new favorite as of 19:34 on Jun 18, 2021 |

To make it even more confusing, the US also has "paraffin oil", which is a liquid at room temperature and can be used in some kerosene lanterns, but is distinct from kerosene.

Oh yeah that stuff is complete dogshit. I think the idea is that it’s less volatile than kerosene and reduces the smell, but it produces oodles of soot and that’s way worse.
