greenhouse test. just to see how long it can extend growing season into winter. i want to see in parricular if it can keep my peppers alive. it sucks when perennial plants die from the cold

>>66122
my peppers got some sort of pests burrowing through a couple of them. Probably because they're too mild. Apparently it's common to order pepper seeds for one species and receive seeds for a different species. That is what happened to me and I think they are anaheim instead of what I ordered. My cucumbers were similarly productive but succumbed to some sort of disease or virus. Eggplants grew a shit ton of leaves but few fruits and only a few got to eating size. I don't think we have enough light where they were.

Recently I've been doing a lot of clearing. I have been slashing down a bunch of native shrubs and trees that cover up spaces and many other plants that I've planted myself. I usually let them grow, especially ij spring, so that they create some microclimate during the harsh summer. Now that the days are getting shorter and the sun is less bright I can clear up these spaces, and open them up for the plants below. The leaves make for gold mulch and I can use the trunks and branches for firewood. Everythijg used to look so lush, now it looks a little empty in contrast.
I also want to bring in many new plants to fill up some of this space, as it turns there's a lot of it! I plan to bring some small trees and shrubs and hope that within the next 5 years they grow big and themselves cover the ground from the sun, as well as provide a lot of fruit.
I have also been broadcasting a lot of vine seeds, mostly curcubitae, such as pumpkin and luffa, but also others like passionfruit. I want lots of trees with vines hanging from them full of fruit, and pumpkin vines crawling along the ground.

well everything else has died from the cold but my peppers and everything inside the greenhouse are still alive, so i consider this a big success, even if it does eventually get too cold in a few weeks, it definitely extended the growing season and should let me start planting early also.

That time of year again. I really should have been out days ago, but the weather just will not co-operate! I can't really do anything until the weather stops swinging 10 fucking degrees in a single day!

how does one even install this? everytime i try I get errors and broken. Answer plz

any news?

>>63472
>chan
>install

i can only assume these two things going together means some sort of pedo shit going on

>>67655
oh wait, I see it's a game, nevermind

>>67655
>>chan
>install
>i can only assume these two things going together means some sort of pedo shit going on
What could this possibly mean?
>>67657
It's an imageboard software running with PHP and Javascript. The "Install" is done through PHP once prerequisits are met and is done in order to create the appropriate databases and tie everything together without the operator needing to move things around or manually rename repeating assets when a new board is added.

Just learn Dutch, Afrikaans is like Dutch ebonics

>>67511
I prefer afrikaans language more then dutch. it sounds beautiful to me, more then dutch

>>67512
your probably refering to the accent i assume, flemish is way more beautiful then that of main land dutch

out of curiosity why is that? coming from an afrikaans person the language is not widely used anymore, aside from in smalltown SA

>>67607
I don't know, first time I heard about it, I founded it cool and wanted to learn about it. I hope my answer is enough for you. also, do you speak afrikaan?

Flavored malt liquor. Maybe strawberry, watermelon, pineapple, or mango-flavored.

been buying and drinking every bourbon brand I can get my hands on for a couple of years now, I'm at the point I'm drinking an entire 750 ml bottle a day. luckily I've worked from home so all the money that went to gas for commuting is going to bourbon, four roses small batch is my favorite stuff. prices been going up lately.

been drinking about 2-3 handles of bourbon a week for about 2 years now. i've tried a lot of bourbons from the cheap 15-40 dollar mark. I kinda settled on benchmark so far, better than most 20-30 dollar bourbons for under 20 dollars. id recommend for a cheap underrated bourbon. used to really like four roses but the alcoholic normfags caught onto that and raised the prices like crazy. pardon my spelling friends as ive also been drinking tonight
>>67034
was about to post this and saw a kindred spirit, not quite up to a handle a day i can kill it in 2 days. also working from home.

I found curry lentils on my nightwalk at the trainstation. After I crush and ferment it in baking yeast and honey it will taste beery next month but my moms attic could smell footgarmenty

>>65681
It's not. Poisoning yourself will never count as a hobby but by looking at the OP you can tell he is brazilian. Just check that sake bottle and read the portuguese.

Did a east coast road trip last fall by myself. Spent a lot of time just walking around small towns by myself, hiking, eat. Slept in my car to keep it cheap. Its nice to have the freedom to pretty much just go where ever you for a little while.

i love america and ive been to 42 states, not sure what part of my post lead you to that belief

>>67200

>>67200
What you see as America's positive he sees as America's negative.

another follow up post and this time asking for suggestions this year, there was a motorcycle riding thread I was also in, the guy with the 650cc yamaha. was doing these road trips in a car, but this year i was able to get a good deal to trade my bike up to a 1600cc vulcan, big cruiser bike, so i think this time it will be a late summer early fall motorcycle trip instead of a winter trip still trying to decide where to ride if anyone has any suggestions i'm based out of florida.

If you're using words like "neurotypical" you're a normalfag yourself.

Sorry you had to learn this way :/

Correct, using a specific sound or string of characters as a symbol for an abstract concept determines if you're able to integrate into society or not.

>>66486
kino actually. if you do this you need to post it.

I can't stand these retarded slang words like kino, based, kek, etc. I'm 30, but I feel like 90.

Just consume your usual japanese content, gather words and train it with anki. Guide (this channel has nice content on Japanese learning:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBcQJESGQvc

>logout from YouTube account
>clear cache
>click in a Japanese video
>repeat until your feed is flooded
>use auto generated subtitles
>click to auto translate auto generated subtitles (optional when don't understand nothing)
>some Japanese channels has English subtitles
That's how I watch Japanese content and it's enough to understand everything, no need in learning Japanese

>>67078
For maximum smoothness you can use a translator (picrel not fully translated) and after some time the auto translated and the English subtitle will get cached and automatically turn on when available. It's good enough to the point I lost the motivation to learn Japanese.

>what language are you learning
french
>what tools do you use to learn it
netflix,music and google translate
im now b2 and i consider myself pretty fluent this is the easiest and the most enjoyable way to learn languages

read the book, fluent forever by gabriel wyner(sp?) will help a lot.

different language require some different approach, you generally get good return on building vocabulary though.

biggest mistake people do trying to learn a language is they try to learn by latching onto their native language with those ideas, words, thoughts. you need to build an entirely new language from the ground up, that means not associating your new language words to your old language words, you need an intermediary, a translation and interpretation layer far more powerful for the mind, that is imagery and emotion. you need to build your language up from thinking the target language word, and first thing that comes into your mind are images, and not the translated meaning in your native tongue. that is the crux and major stumbling block/paradigm shift required to be proper successful and where most fail with their language learning.

find a movie you know really well, all the dialogue, get the sub and dub for it, play it in background or on another screen. listen to music in that target language, watch videos. have an actual physical good dictionary for that language next to you, do this as a habit you hear a word, you randomly open up and try find it, try find what it means.

language acquisition is making all these little easy habits that add up and require almost no effort, for years, culminating into almost effortless. or you can train hard all out for a couple weeks.months then forget about it and never pick it up again. i tried both, i made the mistakes, and learned, then got better. maybe this can help you if you try it. that book fluent forever check it out.

Queen takes knight forcing rook takes queen. White rook takes black rook mate

>>50758
idk if its right or wrong as I am new to chess and only 700 elo but what if bishop takes knight then if king moves then he loses the rook or if it captures the bishop then rook can move horizontally to g6 and then king will be in check then you can move your rook to g8 and then black's rook can only move horizontally as its own pawn is blocking it from moving vertically so it has to capture that rook which you can take with the pawn and promote it to queen.

>>60348
Rg7, Qf6, Qg5 if king captures bishop idk the moves if king moves to the corner of the board

Since Ilya Repin and Roerich have already been mentioned, my other favourite artist of the twentieth century has to be Andrew Wyeth. His lonely and austere regional portrayals of early settler American life really strike a note with me.

Also, wonderful thread.
