Same, on my 3a right now. Deeply considering just buying new old stock of the same phone as a backup. :'D

I use mine consistently, and the presence of one will be a dealbreaker when I choose my next phone. I use it with an AUX cable in my car, wired headphones I already own, and (most importantly) with a Square point of sale thingamajig at shows. Bluetooth options exist for the last thing of course, but they have their own disadvantages- and I'd rather be able to use both options than just one!

I've always yearned for something like this too. I wonder if, from the dev's perspective, balancing the years and years such a thing would take in real time conflicts with other aspects of gameplay? Or maybe soil chemistry is too difficult a thing to gamify for a casual player (including myself in this- unfortunately I don't grasp chemistry or physics easily).

A colony sim/resource management game in early access I played recently tries to touch on this actually- Farthest Frontier. As you might imagine from what I typed above, I'm heinously bad at grasping the system, but the building blocks are in there! None of the procgen ideas you're interested in though.

Biologists and science communicators are being conscientious and thoughtful about the history of their professions. "The dumbest shit" indeed.

I'll be honest: regular ol' bulk Folgers. Having three coffee drinkers all working from home became too labor-intensive for my French press habit and too expensive for my wallet.

Living vicariously through everyone else's brews, here! I may have to whip up some cardamom cold brew this week. ๐Ÿ˜„

I ran the photo through iNaturalist and it suggested a group of flies I've never seen before- broadly Tachinidae, and more narrowly it zeroed in on the genus Adejeania. Seems like a safe guess in terms of location, too!

Yep, seconding what others have said, this looks exactly like my ground cherry plants (aka husk cherry, aka Physalus genus). ๐Ÿ˜„

What a good gift, thank you for sharing. I didn't realize how much variety could be found (well, selected and bred for!) in these until fairly recently, and your post introducesd me to African violets with curly petals. I legit almost cried when I first saw some of the "dwarf" varieties for sale at a greenhouse, lol

I LOVE their coloration at this stage. What a good find. ๐Ÿ˜„

Replying quite a long time after the fact, but I just had to thin some radishes and dangit I was thinking of this post. I find it difficult in particular because of wildlife predation- I never know which of the remaining sprouts will even survive!

Eee congratulations, and I hope for many more to come! I found it so hard not to eat all of my beans and peas right then and there last year. ๐Ÿ˜†

o: Yeah woah! Didn't even cross my mind, lol. I'm livin' in the past.

This year's winter-to-spring transition in my part of zone 4b was rough and the garden is looking haggard because of it, so I took a cruise through last year's photos to find something to share as my first post. Absolutely cannot wait for this year's snap peas- something about the plants just delights me.

These are Oregon Sugar Pod II and Mammoth Melting. This year I added a few other varieties to the mix (Admiral, SS 141) as well as the Swedish Tall Red* just to see what happens.

Happy growing!
