Small things thats gives you some joy in life Anonymage 05/30/20 (Sat) 18:35:59 No.53500 [Reply][Last 50 Posts]

I honestly haven't put any effort in gardening this chili plant, I just placed the seeds in the pot with dirt and this how it turned out a few weeks later. It's pleasuring seeing it growing day by day and im looking forward eating the chilli once its red.
It has such incredible calmness to it..

What are the small things that gives you some joy in this 'life'?

Yeah that is a great feeling. Sadly I make a mess in 2 days again. And it always takes me some time to get the energy to clean again. Gonna have to get better with keeping it clean next year. You get depressed living in a pigsty..

Gardening Thread Anonymage 09/09/20 (Wed) 22:28:39 No.55235 [Reply][Last 50 Posts]

This year most of my plants (zucchinis, strawberries, cucumbers) got messed up with the heat waves, tomatoes are really the only thing I have left. I don't want summer to end, going back to eating store vegetables and fruit is soul crushing. Not much money so no fancy organic food.

Do you garden? How long? What plants?
How do you deal with having to go back to tasteless store vegetables during winter?

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.

Ha, no doubt. My garden isn't over but it's winding down. I picked the last of the tomatoes to finish ripening in the window since it's too cold out. Carrots and radishes are still going great and should have my final crop before first frost. Right now it's all about compost and mulching for the off season.

Are FWD (front wheel drive) bikes better to ride at a hill or something going up? Or is the experience just the same with RWD (rear wheel drive AKA common bikes)

>Are FWD (front wheel drive) bikes better to ride at a hill or something going up?
Not really.
Recline bikes and other such bikes that sometimes have drive trains in the front are more about the advantages of the unusual ride position for comfort and lower drag, and being able to use different muscle groups that have more endurance at the expense of less sprinting power.

It anecdotally makes climbing harder. Especially if you have to balance.

If you are taking about e-bikes, it doesn't matter.

language invention Anonymage 06/05/24 (Wed) 19:12:57 No.67861 [Reply]

I've created a language years ago. I picked up words from english, german, latin and indo-european root words.
Here's some phrases:

" Bheheud ser, ek heer "
(tomorrow night, I'd be there)

" Nw Þonder "
(there's is a storm)

" Nw Þonder, ek ser bheud, sekzuheud "
(there's a storm today, I'll see you tomorrow)

" Ði mann sek ði deer "
(men and animals are different)

" Deer sek mann but Þey anwdeer und Þey mann ajwmann "
(animals aren't human but are living beings)

now here some words I've created so far:

If you can't do shit on your own, you can't learn a language. It's just that simple. A professor isn't going to make you memorize 10,000+ words and slowly grind your way through dozens of books at a snailspace.

Mathematics thread 1+1+1 Anonymage 04/09/23 (Sun) 13:14:05 No.64802 [Reply]

Recently I've become fascinated with tessellation and spent the past couple of weeks collecting pictures of mosaics from around the world. Eventually just looking at them was not enough and I want to go deeper, understand the geometric shapes and its secrets better. Not even sure why but periodic tiling feels like a brain massage to me, like I'm about to fall out of bottom of how I usually perceive the world around me. So I picked up the book Geometry by Cambridge University Press. Feel free to give a hollow laugh: I honestly thought I could just skip the math part of geometry (yes I'm an idiot) and appreciate its resulting surfaces. While you can do that, if you want to appretiate geometry even at a surface level, you need to know the bare minimum of maths. The book suggested a good grasp on the basics of linear algebra and algebraic structure. I thought 'OK, I'll read the wiki entries as a lazy primer' and quickly realized I forgot even the basics of mathematical symbols. I guess it's true after all, if you don't use it you lose it.

Long story short, I'm currently going through Pure Mathematics for Beginners. The good part of being dumb is when you learn a single thing it feels like a whole new world just opened up and it feels really good.

So yeah, maths thread.

So

I have a very simple idea how to crack some grant $$$ on groking an algorithm related to Collatz Con'.

1) put an arbitrary large binary number, say 2^300+466432 large

2) represent it as a 319 bars wide array of columns and gaps

3) watch the process of "sorting" ones and zeroes into an array that has only 1 column

4) earn some grant $$$ by referrong to Collatz Con Sort as "modified Stalin Sort"

5) claim Collatz Con is a yet another cursed way of sorting things up.

6) haha some math dome

I like the fall. Summer is way too hot and makes normies run around and party outside. In the fall when it gets colder they already start to stay inside more. So I can take my time walking along the same path as always and admire the color of the changing leaves and wonder how many times I will walk this path before this time of my life comes to a close as well. Perhaps I will miss these mundane scenes one day. Perhaps I will forget them entirely. But for now I am comfy and enjoying the sights.

Consumption free hobbies Anonymage 06/04/20 (Thu) 04:36:07 No.53574 [Reply][Last 50 Posts]

What are some hobbies that don't involve consuming anything? You purchase a 1 time item and very rarely if ever have to replace it. Learning yo-yo tricks would be a consumptionless hobby in this case. There are obviously thinks like whistling or playing the spoons too. The idea is it has to make as little foot print as possible while being something you can develop and grow at. Drawing wouldn't count because you need paper.

Say:

* NovelAI offers 30 free tries a month or something.
* PerplexityAI has free bot for a 'puter/a celly
* Grok
* …
* Some Telegram bots are crazy: they offer you lots of free tries for different models independent one from another.
