I was in danger of having sympathy for a lawyer, then this brought me back.

Way to take a serious matter and make it comical.

Why not?

(It’s not really something I’ve ever thought about since I started using the term. It kinda just is.)

I prefer Neo-Luddite. There’s a few aspects of modern tech I eschew - AI/LLM bring one of them.

The problem with some succulents is they will appear alive, but actually already have one foot in the grave. It laying down without any grip into the soil might mean the taproot is gone.

When you repot it, take your time, and check that it’s tap root is intact. It’s ok to let it sit out in the open for a day or two - any damage should scab over. (And after repotting, let it alone for a week or so before offering it a drink)

If there is a taproot - you’re good to go, but if there is little to no root, chances are slim it will survive. There are methods to encourage a new taproot, but that is (currently) above my knowledge level. (AKA I’ve never been able to get them to grow a new taproot.)

It’s badly etoliated (stretching to get more sun) and appears to be in a soil with too much organic matter.

The poor dear needs heaps more sun, and soil that doesn’t retain much, if any water.

(I have a few lithops. I’m shocked yours is still alive!)

Fun Fact: Dolphins fart.

I learned to type on one of these. I still can’t unlearn the habit of having to use actual force to type - my neighbours can hear my typing on my mechanical keyboard. :D

I did unlearn the two spaces after a ‘.’ so that’s a win at least.

I’ve been ten keyless or 75% for a very long time now. I actually like the separate number pad because I prefer it on the left.

Offer me a full sized with the mimosas (numpad, autocarrot and swipettpe hate me) on the left, and my attention would be full.

Zeeeero!

75%er here. I’m content.

California could be a Free State…

Spoken to someone who might work 60 minutes a week.

He can get fucked by his 60 hour work week. Sideways.

A piece of shit in a suit is still a piece of shit.

Origami and handmade cards are very thoughtful. :)

Keep trying with the folds, one day you’ll forget to check the videoguide!

I have, many times, and nothing changes, always an excuse, they forgot or were distracted by something more important. Hence why I have completely given up trying to plan anything. Like talking to a brick wall. Things only happen when I take the initiative. Special days, house repairs, appointments…

Dud. After years of having to remind, plan and remind the other half again and again, I gave up and said nothing last year. Nothing happened. Nothing happened again this year. Next up - Mother’s Day, which I expect to be equally nothing, just like last year.

I can’t wait for the complaints that I planned nothing for birthdays or Father’s Day.

A few of the guys (Americans) I game with called it “A good result.” All I could respond with was a heavy sigh.

At least they haven’t been spouting the usual mysogynistic BS in my presence, unlike my last group. They were outright partying, and they aren’t even American!

Too right. Hawai’i is far above him.

I should have been more detailed in my criteria. Uninhabited, no vegetation, maybe even only an inch above sea level.

I do like the raft idea. Drop him off with the flat pack, he can assemble it himself.
