It does.

Look up sourdough recipes. The bacteria and yeasts will eagerly eat some longer-chain carbs. They aren't picky. Same goes for commercial supermarket yeasts.

Edit: Not great for bread.

Maybe I'm too European for this, but I would never have thought of putting sugar in regular bread. Even milk buns don't have added sugar in them, unless you count lactose.

…I'll have to try this, because it sounds off to me. Like putting a dishwasher in the bathroom. Not really insane. But I'd quietly judge someone who does that.

"Super straight" in profile (very unstable).

Who downvoted that?

You have to watch pretty fucked up footage to get this joke. Imo it's a really reasonable question.

SUVs, anyone?

No?

We also have crossover SUVs.

Maybe a SUV mixed with a coupé?

Still no?

How about a Combi mixed with a SUV?

Our cheapest option?

That'll be 30.000€.

Electric? No. That one isn't electric.

For that you'll have to upgrade to our eSUV.

Why… why are you leaving?

As someone who grows figs in their living room:

Most commercial (and even hobbyist) fig varieties are parthenocarpic, meaning they don't require pollination.

And fig wasps don't look like that. They're tiny little guys that most people would probably mistake for a very small ant.

And even if the fig was pollinated by a wasp, it uses enzymes to break down the insects body, to protect itself from mold and other pathenogens that such may cause.

Basically; fig waps are itsy bitsy wittle wupies, while figs are digesting their dead mothers corpses, because they are metal as fuuuuuck.

Can someone explain to me why Skoda has such a bad reputation? I really noticed this when I had my Skoda Citigo, which is basically the same car as the VW Up! or the Seat Mii.

But somehow people singled out the Skoda as the worst.

What is the point of paying for the pipe if you don't use everything you can?! There is no reason they shouldn't push it through faster.

This is the reason why I leave the shower running in every hotel I visit. And at the buffet, I tell the waiter to fetch me a trash can so I can actually get rid of the whole thing. If I can, I usually leave both a heater and an air conditioner running in the hallway.

Edit: Wow. I had completely forgotten about this comment. I really didn't think anyone would take it seriously. I work with networks. I know we're not literally going to run out of internet. But everyone treats bandwidth as this freely available resource. Advertisers, consumers, creatives and Jürgen. Fuck you, Jürgen. We both know that downloading 6 fucking MB every time someone wants to queue up the database is fucking insane, as is your reliance on client-side bullshit.

Anyway, whenever a anything loads slowly, think about why. Bandwith is not free. It's a maintained resource.

Tja. Wird wohl heute doch noch die übrig gebliebende Flasche Cocoroco geext, um das wieder zu vergessen.

Also als jemand, der inzwischen 3 Mal auf'm beleuchteten Fußgängerüberweg umgekachelt worden ist: Mich sieht man scheinbar auch nicht.

Und wenn ich an den Natenom-Beitrag denke, dann sieht man auch Radfahrer in Warnveste mit eingeschaltetem Licht bei guten Bedingungen nicht.

Die Mutter von 'nem Kumpel sieht beim Einparken nicht mal durchgängige, 1,8m hohe Wände.

Wenn's danach geht, dann müsste die Welt eine komplett glatte, asphaltierte Kugel sein.

I finally managed to pollinate my cherimoya!

For the uninitiated: Pollinating cherimoyas is a bit tricky, because their flowers only bloom for a single day. During this time, they are initially female and can absorb pollen, but only turn male in the evening to harvest pollen from.

To pollinate them successfully, you have to sacrifice at least one flower, take its pollen and hope that the next flower opens before the pollen is no longer viable.

They also develop large velvety leaves:

TLDR: Citrus keeps turning black and oozing resin. But I can't find the problem. I thought it must be root rot, but they look perfectly healthy:

Long version: Because my first and second citrus trees fell victim to root rot, I started using a very airy substrate made of pine bark, perlite and some humus/worm castings in a 5:1:1 ratio for all my plants (figs, pineapple, cherimoya, monstera, etc.) with little adjustment. You may recognize this as 'aroid mix'. But it works surprisingly well in my indoor space with a west-facing window and terracotta planters (and my tendency to overwater).

But I can't wrap my head around citrus.

It always starts with rapid growth, followed by very suddenly dropping and crisping leaves, black stems and finally death.

I thought I must be root rot again, which I need to mind during winter. But today, when I dumped my fifth (!) tree, I found only perfectly healthy roots and nice smelling substrate.

I think it must be a pathogen… but what? I am at a loss. I keep killing my citrus trees and I don't know why. :'(

EDIT: replaced "5:1:1 mix" with "5:1:1 ratio" for clearification.

One of my smaller monstera pots keeps growing these little mushrooms and I'm wondering what exactly they are.

They come after every watering and dry off pretty quickly in about half a day or so.

EDIT: They are 'fairy inkcaps'. Thanks to Guenther_Amanita@slrpnk.net!
