The trick is to get a lot of different kinds of plants. That way if 90% dies you know what 10% of plants fit your style of neglect. Buy more of those once you find out.

also a plant going limp like that is usually just it running out of water. give it some. don’t drown it.

A whole-ass new bicycle is cheaper than basically any car repair. Bicycles are so cheap in comparison to cars it’s not even funny.

I always figured it was just a new thing they were trying for a bit.

And then you release the mouse close by and it’s back inside real quick, or you release it far away and it’ll be inside someone else’s house real quick, or you release it in “nature” and I’ll die anyway because house mice have evolved to survive in houses.

Kill traps suck, but “humane” traps either don’t solve the problem or are worse.

Which begs the question, why in the hell is that hole important enough to drill by candlelight? it couldn’t’ve waited until the next day?

To be fair, if you DO find yourself in this moral dilemma you’re a shit driver. People don’t just teleport into the middle of a crosswalk. If you’re going at such a speed to where a granny can make it 3/4rds across the crosswalk but you’re going too fast to stop… you’re going too fast period.

You’ll find that the usual color layout is red/white/blue, not white/blue/red.

I prefer “angstschreeuw” as word to annoy foreigners with. 7 consonants in a row!

Man if only that was true. A neighbor across the street is a chain smoker, and I hear him hack up a lung every morning for a couple of hours.

Yeah smoking will make you live shorter, but it’ll also reaaaally fuckin’ ruin your life leading up to that.

Oh for sure, but the stuff going on with their chest is fluff I thought, not booba.

Isn’t that character canonically a guy?

I mean yeah with no context that looks weird A/F, but given a couple details it’s fairly self-evident why it be like it do.

1. Python doesn’t need a main function. It’ll just start running any top level code. This is nice for beginners learning programming because there’s no scaffolding or anything to set up. It just do the thing.
2. python uses double underscores (usually called “dunder”) to mark “special” things. __name__ is a global variable containing the name of the current module. There’s a couple more like __file__ containing the filename of the current module.
3. If you run a file directly __name__ gets set to "__main__". If it got set to something more sensible like "main" you couldn’t really call a file main.py without this breaking. Right now this only breaks for files called __main__.py but luck would have it that calling a file __main__.py already has a special meaning which makes these uses not clash.
4. Sometimes you want code to only run if a module is run but not when it is imported. Checking if __name__ is set to __main__ is the easiest way to do this.

Python for sure has a bunch of weirdness, but it all does mesh together into a rather nice programming language.

Unless you’re hanging a CRT you really don’t need to bother screwing into the studs. Get the right type of plug and you can hang some pretty absurd weights from drywall, especially if most of the force is straight down like it would be with a tv mount. I really like the screw-in type plug. Easy to install, no possibility of the toggle not toggling or whatever.

If you want to mount one of those extendo-mounts I’d probably bother to screw it into the studs though, to be fair.

not if you’re killing processes the current user started.

Pingu is just in general a malcontent tbh. Not allowed to use the adult toilet? Piss on the floor. Not winning at hide and seek? Cheat. Etc etc.

Still definitely worth watching if you ask me, but yeah those main characters are… Not amazing.

Canon megatank is pretty great too. The only complaint I have is that it’s weirdly insistent on having photo paper in the back paper entry, and not in the drawer. Other than that the thing just prints. No cartridge chip shenanigans either because there’s no cartridges, and besides the ink is actually affordable compared to cartridges.

My dog likes smelling the mail. I’ll hold the letters and packages up to him one by one, and he’ll sniff all the way around it.
