Thai Con struggles

Getting Thai Cons while being as bad with plants as I am was such a huge mistake haha

The first one I got in late September - it was a young but well established plant with 3 leaves - one of them already decently fenestrated! I kept it in my very dark living room with a rather sad little grow light and it started rotting basically right away.

In desperation, I tried moving it to LECA and a much brighter spot, which seemingly did more damage as I had been a bit rough on the roots as I was cleaning the soil and rotten stuff off. By December, all roots had died off and the rot was starting to get to the stem :(

I was really worried about the stem getting affected, so I made the executive decision to split up the plant about a month ago. The smallest leaf had already died off earlier, so one leaf was left with the questionable stem while the top-cutting (that had been struggling to push a new leaf since November!!) got exactly one root node. All the root nodes left on the stem cutting

  • We'd get along fine, but feeding two people on one salary will definitely be annoying (my job has a non-competition clause where I can't pick up a second job in the same field), and getting enough adhd meds for the both of us will be impossible due to strict regulations here.

    One of us still could bring value to the household by being the designated bangmaid though

  • Oh hey we're in the exact same boat! My parents are from Russia too and moved to Germany about 20 years ago. If the bureaucracy here wasn't that slow, they would have had citizenship by now and 100% both voted AfD.

    We never had a decent relationship and I'm not concerned about preserving anything, so the goal is to just fully cut all contact at some point 🤷
    Until then, I just act ignorant whenever they bring up politics (like literally pretending to not know who Trump is, because "what, why would I pay attention to niche american politics, they're literally an ocean away??").
    Works pretty well, sometimes it even does make them retrospect about why they would care so much about seemingly random topics (because Russian propaganda channels train them to react to specific buzzwords).
    Ultimately, I don't think they would ever change into better people and any energy put into changing their minds would be better used somewhere else.

  • I've recently caught up on About Oliver's second season of Minecraft streams. He's an astrophysicist who never played Minecraft before 2022 and documented his entire blind playthrough. No reading chat, no googling etc. He only knew that he could get to credits somehow, but didn't even know how.

    I highly recommend the entire playthrough, but there is a 6 hour Compilation of season 1 if you want to catch up to current day. Season 2 is about 40 episodes in, with about 4-5h per episode.

  • Colloquially, the word "robot" always implies a certain amount of anthropomorphism. So no, I don't think a vibrator would count, as basically no vibrators on the market try to look human-like.

    But that definitely is a weird difference between male and female sexuality - the sex toys women buy most are the very effective and utilitarian ones: Vibrator wands, Rabbits, Air pulse Vibrators etc.

    While the most popular tools for men tend to focus on "realism"(?): Fleshlights, Sex Dolls, things like VR and POV porn. And I guess sex robots would fall into that category too in the future.

    I can absolutely see the weirdness-factor of someone who is desperately trying to emulate a partner rather than just accept masturbation as a solo activity and optimize it from there 😬

  • About 72 per cent of Deutsche Bahn’s intercity trains arrived within 10 minutes of their scheduled arrival time in the year to January 2025,[...]

    Fun fact! I'm not sure if it was done here, but almost any time DB calculates a statistic like that, they don't count the trains that didn't arrive at all as unpunctual. So if a train is completely cancelled, it's technically "on time" because the predicted time is "never"

  • Coffee

  • The forgotten coffee problem was my main reason for switching to oatmilk. If it stands around uncooled with cow milk for too long it grosses me out, but oatmilk isn't as volatile so I don't mind drinking yesterday's coffee.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • It got a lot better when I got on adhd medication, even though the medication doesn't do much else for me yet.

    I think a certain reframing of depression has helped me too: It doesn't just make you sad and tired, it also makes you cynical and very critical of any ideas that might actually help you out of it. So I went to people I mostly trust, asked them how to get out of the depressive slump, and just did whatever they suggested instead of following the urge to talk down their ideas and reason out why they won't work for me. And honestly, it probably didn't even matter what exactly their suggestions were, because just doing anything is enough to get some positive change started.

    Hat wer ne Idee warum Bitburger da extra Vitamine mit reinwerfen würde? Das alkoholfreie Naturradler von Gösser hat z.B. keine, und schmeckt soweit ich mich erinnere identisch?

  • I almost missed picking up my meds yesterday because I was playing Minecraft VR ... took like 2 hours between realizing I need to go pick them up and tearing off the headset and only half-turning everything off, because I got caught in wanting to turn the game off in a state where I'd remember what I was working on, so I had to return home, and then I had to fix a machine I was tinkering with, and then my crops were ready so I had to pick them, and then a trader wandered in and I wanted something before he disappeard so I had to scrape up money...

    ELI5: setting up a custom email?

    Heyhey!

    My fiance has been struggling with lack of space in his current email, plus his current provider (web.de) doesn't have the most professional name, which is bothering him because he's currently applying for jobs.

    So I was looking to get him a nice clean email for Valentine's, that has a simple name and enough space for a while.

    Problem is - I'm kinda dumb and have very little idea of how web hosting and email work (despite working as a Software Engineer...). So I could use some input on what steps I should be taking to get what I'm looking for while avoiding the pitfalls and hidden costs that some service providers have.

    So far, I've found a nice {hisLastname}.cc domain on namecheap for 50€/10 years. Namecheap also offers a basic email service for 14€ per year, altough I'm not sure whether 5GB is enough space. The next higher email would be 40€ per year for 30GB of space. That seems more like what I'd be looking for, but also seems a bit expensive?

    Does anyone have tips on

    First shot at vegan baking... it smelled burnt the entire time it was in the oven, somehow?

    It's my turn to bring cake to work tomorrow, I found this recipe .
    I added some instant coffee but my jar slipped and I probably added too much... now I'm contemplating whether the buttercream might cover it up or whether I'm just baking a second cake and freezing this one for myself

    edit: Yeah, I definitely fucked up with the instant coffee haha
    Still edible (especially with the buttercream, it's still a 6/10 cake), but I don't want to bring it to other people.

    Made a new one instead, which this one I actually took the time to sift the baking powder and instant coffee so that it doesn't stay in random bitter chunks

    YSK: All Down Dog Apps are free if you're a student or teacher

    Down Dog makes really neat Apps that chain together smaller video snippets into cohesive workouts. So you don't have to follow the same video tutorial every day but get a different workout with whatever length or difficulty you want.
    I personally really like their Yoga App, but they've got stuff like HIIT and Bodyweight Workouts too.

    Who counts as a Student/teacher? Anyone with a .edu email address. They re-confirm the email every 2 years.

    Completely unrelated YSK:
    There are throwaway email generators that have .edu mails.
