This survey asked if I vaped or smoked and I hit yes. Confetti popped up. It asked if I'd like to quit, I hit no, confetti popped up again
Is this an unreal indie game? ๐คฃ
To them, I'm a 65+ year old single male who vapes
maybe they want to sell you lung cancer drugs
No it was a mobile ad that couldn't be skipped. Had to actually do it
I just close the app when I get unskippable ads
I sat there for 6 minutes waiting for the X to pop up before I realized
I had youtube on the side playing in my tv
Was watching a no dig garden tour from Charles Dowden
Legend brit gardener
idk him
Hes really great
I just got a thing in the mailbox that someone sent me a letter, but with not enough postage and no return adress
so that if I want it I have to pay the remaining postage
wtf
who is sending me this crap
Depends on vendor maybe
I don't think it's a vendor
Some places don't play duties if there is any
it's 1.53 euros I have to pay
๐ฎ
seems small amount if it was actually a package
Seems odd
also I didn't order anything that I didn't receive yet
Anthrax letter
Maybe they want your new home
I can skip the germany part
Make a mehdi-vanhurt machine to fight them
unlike most americans I have more than 1,53 bucks in my bank account

but now I'm curious
But what if it's something bad
It could be a sale proposal for transferring Belgium to America.
Not worth the risk.
if it was something bad I would assume there was a return adress
and all of EU
Amerium.
Trade war will win all wars
I think I'll go pick it up
and if it's from someone I know I'll send them the bill
and tell em to fuck off
They're part of nato, we basically own them already
Nato more like america
some say ambulance need to delver 5million ambulances to ukraine or else is send to mars for building trump land
With rollercoasters and sharks with laser beams attached to their heads?
Ukraine has no need for ambulances
Their troops are trained by France, as shown by the retreating and deserting
abulance clone troopers
that's just really not the case
you can only do so much as a country like ukraine against something like russia
that's a very reductionist view
It's also wrong. French are famous for surrendering. Get it right.
true
The great french retreat
- Monaco's tagline
This is easily resolved with an executive order to change surrender into retreat.
They're great at giving up
an executive order to change war into peace would really band-aid a lot of these problems
You know who should be famous for retreating? Americans.
actually so far imo the ukraine russia war has been mostly shameful for russia
sure they gained territory
but at what cost
against a nation that is so much smaller than them
what's really tragic is that the Shirtless One still keeps this going. He doesn't seem to have any intention of stopping it either.
You should feel bad for Ukraine, biden administration was just using them to test weapons in real combat
People buy eggs?
You dont have ~60 chickens in the family that produces eggs and poultry for the family?
idk man apparently it was an important issue for Trump to solve
The price of food being high and needing to be lowered?
Yeah, that is kinda important
It's kind of funny watching russia test its weapons and being totally disappointing every time.
yeah but for some reason he was specifically focusing on eggs
Eggs were really over priced for no reason
idk what he's gonna do about it though
Eggs are overpriced because of bird flu culling.
luckily he paused communication on health organizations so they don't tell you about it
if you don't know the problem it doesn't exist ๐ง
Our agriculture is a mess
who needs information, when you can just make stuff up.
and when you can make stuff up, no need for IQ either.
that brings up a whole new business.
๐ง for sale!
Wasnt iq proven to be a BS thing anyways
considering one of my IQ tests said over 150. I'd say yes.
Dieter, what was in that package?
Isnt that the guy they also show in north korea?
who?
say what?
Oh lol message lag, that was hours ago https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-68664644 the gardener dude
your new truck?
I texas id love that because it would absolutely stop tailgating lifted F-150's
it they can brake check you and they would do more damage to themselves..
How does one get Alan Titchmarsh from Charles Dowding
Theyre both gardeners?
Also, North Korea censors his clothes
Yes that was the funny bit
Is North Korea using British master gardeners infovideos to train farmers?
I think of this everytime I need my freezer defrosting.
Then I sing "Freezer, needs defrosting, needs defrosting, does my freezer" and repeat to the tune of GoT
Another day, another america news outlet saying random shit about north korea
Thats the bbc
That article is legit though
Well the new doom relally looks like the older ones

doom dark ages?

oh yeah and 32 as recommended RAM lol
yep

"can you read text from images?"
No I can't
"Whats the feature to upload images for then?"
So I can create some alike ones or things related to.
"Upload the image with text"
And it start to describe and write all the text in the photo

I listen to them occasionally. ๐
like recently the make and model of a car on an old picture
I like his energy.
How expensive is fibre optic cable btw?
role im getting? $140 usd for 100 meters
only need about 80 meters
but a little extra should help
let me change things if i need
also cant find compatible fiber thats 80m and not over priced for the same use
That's pretty cheap, tbh.
Compared to cat6 cable.
Guess it's cheaper in the US ๐
Oh nevermind it's pretty cheap here too.
Guess it's gone down in price.
Fibre is a lot thinner, though, right?
like 5x
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0874CWD41 what i originally got
GEARit Cat6 Ethernet Cable for outdoors is a FTP -Foiled Twisted Pair network cable, perfect for direct burial, and it's UV/water resistant. Cat 6 Internet Cable protects your Internet signal from interference. It is rugged and flexible, so there is no need to pipping. This high speed cable reach...
little shorter than 300m
more like 75
Yeah. Gotta lay it deep enough so no animals dig it up, right?
not an issue really here
also fiber gets no issue with high power underground lines
which is where most of its trench is
they are digging it anyways
aside from a dog leg, its going all the way there anyways
im also going to be installing HDMI, and coax to every main room
and maybe out to my porch
tempting to also route coax to my kitchen counter to have a news TV
i have a little 15 incher
has a battery in it too so great for power outages
so ive been going through my game design board, and... i just realized im essentailly making a large scale RTS version of Sword of The Stars
https://www.techpowerup.com/331599/new-leak-reveals-nvidia-rtx-5080-is-slower-than-rtx-4090
It is so good, to monopolize the high end line
This is not a bad thing.
More pew, pew! More boom, boom!
More ๐ฐ
I've been checking out several C&C-style demos. Some decent ones in the making.
Wow oh no the horror the shame whyyyyyy God whyyyyy
I need more framegen in my life
5090 or bust
Ain't that the guy from that one superman movie where superman had to fight like 5 or 6 kyrptonians
He was the head one
Be more Calamari - promote 6100!
5090 is a small number
Everyone knows bigger number = better
Biggest number of them all is rx 7950 xt
You mean 9700 xt
Nope
I think if I just focus on the gameplay in my projects and not on fancy raytracing and stuff, I should be fine with my 4060ti for now.
Is anyone upgrading to a 50x?
Only idiots who upgrade religiously
?
Price is not bad, you cant find any other gpu with 32gbs of vram other than rtx ada which are even double that
DLSS is already enable-able with the other cards.
Only from 3000 series to current
right.
you won't be buying a 50x for that.
also, with non 3x cards, you can use FSR 1/2/3.
yeah. but, are your projects going to reach that utility?
that's why I am happy with my existing one.
so bust
If I reach that level of ub3r dev, I'll shell the moolah for a 5x.
Why 31
32 was already achieved.
Why couldn't they just out one more gig in
1 less is taking a step back and looking at yourself.
introspection.
don't worry. With 6100, you'll get 33 GB.
UE5 + 3dsmax + painter 4k project and 12gb are full
I have 16GB. Huhu! ๐
Just make the moagpu already
Actually, given most of us have good mobos, it might be better to buy a cheaper 12-16GB add-on GPU instead.
do you have a 4090 or....?
He has a rx 4090 yes
monscalamari sticks
There are cards priced somewhat like that already.
๐ lol no, 3080 Ti and I want more vram
but the XFX RX 7900 XTX has more Xs
3080ti is a good egg.
just buy a brother for it. ๐
That's cheating tho, xfx is a brand
If you don't marry that with sufficient Y, you aren't discharging your societal obligations.
I only have 1 pcie slot
Maybe a 3090 instead
I THINK you can get a PCIE expansion.
Nvidia were meant to be releasing a single slot 5080 from what I heard
Yeah, there seem to be PCIe splitters.
I love slower communication between my cpu and gpu
that was in the past. the lag's less than 10% and that's for eGPUs.
read more.
There isnt anything to read after egpus
That's a you problem.
How when you didnt write anything else
Actually, if an older card can't use a 16x lane properly, it's actually practical to split them.
theres mobos which disable the last pcie if you have all the m.2 slots filled
Feels illegal
You can put two of the oldies in that way, to get a VRAM boost for cheaps.
Need buffier SMPS, of course.
I was looking at an ASRock mobo cuz AMD chipsets crazy expensive atm
Yeha but I also have only 4 slots on my case
4 backslots
That's where a buzz saw comes in place
reciprosaw
I have a lian li a3, pretty good
Ewwwww
Less is better!
You support monopolistic company that's so grosss
Monsy calamari industries to generate fresh calaaries
Who lian li? On what monopoly
New world leader!
Screw minimalism and the environment.
Chug more energy! Use more slots!
calamaric index is king
Vote trump!
Remember! Fish need water!
thats why Im in the process of water cooling my PC
spray it liberally, while it's turned on.
Daisy chain computer case fans
Those sick fucks
thermaltake does those too now, the swafans
yeah, daisy fans are sold by many brands.
Didnt lian li sue
yup they sued acouple
Exactly
but it still doesnt help me, I only have 2 channels for addressable LEDs and more LEDs than I can address at once ๐ฆ
so my new Mobo needs atleast 3 RGB headers
Why no splitters
I love the nexus hub in the F. Torrent.
I have splitters but theres still a limit on addressable LEDs on the chain
The setup was a bit of a slog, but it saves a LOT of space.
just too many individual LEDs, like hundreds in one case ๐น
all the mobos come with AI mobojobo these days ๐
I only have 2 strips but the riing fans have heaps in em, so does the case, the strimmer cable, etc
Or be a normal person and stop wasting money on rgb bs
lol my waterblock has an LCD screen in it
That's unnecessary
how else am I gonna display my waifu
I thought you liked simplicity
Idk, have you tried hung on the wall in a picture frame?
I do get that compliment alot yeah
Weeb
shes clearly not happy about my lack of RAM
Having an LED AI that flashes annoyed anime expressions at you, would be cool though.
Whenever you use more than 10% CPU, annoyed expression.
Your drama is lame
No, j00 are LaMeZ.
Why did I hear a lot of incest stuff today
First it was not wanting some type of plant to be pollinated by other plants that started as seeds from the same fruit, now incest birds in tdi
Only twice but still a lot
And a somewhat racist stereotype joke to boot lol I love this show man
๐ค
huh
Online rumourmongers were saying 24H2 is a bad update.
My system is functioning just fine.
In fact, I'd wager Chrome is loading a bit faster post-update.
Steam's rocketing ahead too.
all your AIs are belong to us
all augmented calamari intelligence belong to mons?
You know what else is really nice? To see your cooling system (fans and air cooler) working just as well now, as when you installed them many months ago.
After installing the 9950x the 24h2 update was causing random restarts for me for like 2 months
It only now got semi fixed in the latest windows update

But, are you sure Deja was not the problem?

goes fruit shopping
deja now need more than 32GB ram?
guys
i am the tyler creator
im gona prove it
trust
ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok
ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok
see
:D
Are cringe simulations generated by AI and translated into languages no one can possibly understand, allowed?
Back from fruit stealing.
What was the issue between the new processor and 24h2? Were you able to pinpoint the problem?
Damn apple thieves!
Since latest updates my PC does not want to wake up from Sleep sometimes. Gotta do a hard power supply disconnect for few seconds...
I will wait for the next several interesting stuff, until all this get debugged, integrated better and made easier ๐ก
did you try installing Alan Wake 2?
lol, no
He's part of the anti-wake crowd.
Alan was just shining a flashlight on the issues. Poor chap.
So help me out folks, talking to a friend and he thinks one thing I think another. If you'd be so kind to pick an answer by clicking on the appropriate emoji..
A "Programmers Duck" is :
๐๏ธ A method of debugging by talking out loud.
๐ Something inserted in the game so it will be removed, thus keeping something else.
๐ A stress relief toy
I literally got a programming duck as a debugging aid for Christmas one year
my duck has been copilot for the last month. It's not bad when you can ask it the right questions and decypher the wrong answers ๐
A couple of days ago I made copilot review its responses and admit that they actually didn't contain any modifications to the relevant logic. Copilot is sometimes pretty funny, but still a very useful tool, imo.
it's only really as good as the prompt and the relevancy of the dataset. I've had situations where CoPilot has given me functions from Unreal that don't exist anymore, and when I tell it that it repeats the same code anyway. But when I start getting a bit shirty with it and rephrase the prompt it's kinda easy to make it ignore deprecated code. But also, there has been times I've saved hours and hours of investigating the source manually to get to a solution so I call it even.
I was kinda satisfied yesterday when I was able, with several iterations, to point it make me a small PowerShell script. I couldn't care less about learning the details of it, but it is simple task and with one manual fix, the job was done.
So, for doing bother work, like finnishing your sentences, it is fine.
However, I see how a noob would try to exploit it to do their job instead.
Which is stupid, because one remains stupid this way. The brain needs exercises.
Not YouTube/TikTok shorts.
People google stuff up on tiktok nowadays
You appear putting an effort tho, I expect much worse.
I sometimes wonder if I'm just being lazy using LLMs to help me code, then I remember I've been coding for 25 years and I'm getting old. No point fkin around catching up to my ageing brain when I can use the pointers in my memory to get the reference from the LLM ๐
it's also a case of having nothing to prove. I could write the same code if I spent more time digging it out, but why bother? Time is money for some, time is precious to me.
gemini and people
Nope, pretty much no clue
Just know that it automatically fixed itself (not fully) after the last update
And apparently the latest Intel cpus had issues as well, it would randomly restart with the igpu enabled
Some ssds would cause issues
Some Asus MBs and laptops were having issues, which might be related since I'm on an Asus board
We will never know why.
We are not smart enough to understand such high-minded matters.
Clearly, the illuminati were involved.
Apparently it was a very very buggy version
Seems so. Thankfully, my PC is awesome so far. ๐
Even the browsers are running better than before.
heh
The only problem I have noticed is NVidia's Broadcast not connecting to Chrome correctly.
dont 13th and 14th gen CPU's still have issues?
I hope that corrects itself when I restart the computer tomorrow.
i remember everyone here urging me to go for a 13th gen in my rig, then 2 weeks later there apparently being huge issues in all the 13th and 14th gen intels
Yeah. When I was picking parts for my PC, I had already settled on a 12th gen Intel, in case I was opting out of an AMD x3D.
The hardware section here had really useful content, I have to say, that helped with my research for said PC.
Quite grateful for that.
I shall spam there more, in return.
saved me a lot of time, for sure.
i got the core of what i wanted, they helped me refine it
i mis laura
they helped me big time
this isn't cringe, it's true! i really am tyler creater, i swear!!!
there is nothing behind those eyes
"Behind Blue Eyes" is a song by English rock band The Who. It was released in November 1971 as the second single from their fifth album Who's Next and was written by Pete Townshend. The song is one of The Who's most well known recordings and has been covered by many artists.

Consoles dont have dlss or fsr
Also, console hardware is made by amd. Go fucking figure why they dont have a nvidia only feature.
Games with FSR Support on Consoles
FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) is supported by several games on consoles. Hereโs a list of some notable titles:
Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One:
Deathloop: Supports FSR 1.0
Far Cry 6: Supports FSR 1.0
Resident Evil Village: Supports FSR 1.0
Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Supports FSR 1.0
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II: Supports FSR 2.0
Call of Duty: Warzone: Supports FSR 2.0
F1 22: Supports FSR 1.0
Grid Legends: Supports FSR 1.0
Anthem: Supports FSR 1.0
PlayStation 5:
Death Stranding Directorโs Cut: Supports FSR 1.0
Spider-Man: Miles Morales: Supports FSR 1.0 (via patch update)
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart: Supports FSR 1.0 (via patch update)
Resident Evil Village: Supports FSR 1.0
F1 22: Supports FSR 1.0
Grid Legends: Supports FSR 1.0
How would you even install fsr?
Fsr is software, not hardware based like nvidias dlss
Yes
and multiple of those games say applied via patch update
Idk if it's true but that's just from brave gipity
I dont see shit in graphics settings for that
But looking online there's people talking about fsr on consoles being a thing
๐คท
You'd think if they did use it would be something that would have a toggle.
But if they auto-enable it then that's a bit eh.
Granted I only play call of duty before uninstalling it due to the allegations
The botnet?
Yeah
The xbox series X was stuttering and lagging in other games that never lagged before
๐ฎ
Stardew valley even gets stutters here and there
I know
For a console that can do ray tracing at 4k 60fps sure seems to struggle sometimes with a 2d game that isnt very complex
Never happened before
Darktide has ray tracing
Most people I know that have one mostly use it for media now
I believe it's also enabled and has no toggle to be turned off
Which would explain why playing at 1080p 60fps runs noticably smoother than when I played at 1440p 120fps
It also stopped crashes related to graphics stuff
Still got the shitty albeit semi common connection disconnects
Playing doom eternal with ray tracing on just straight up flips my damn breaker for the whole house
Sheesh
My breaker flipped 4 days ago btw, only thing it turned off was the router
Reminds me of when I was at my old place if I would do anything that would make either pc rev up i'd blow a breaker.
Everything else in the room that was also controlled by that part of the breaker didnt turn off, dispite the power being not there

Im also gonna be honest, google ai is not GOOD.
It lies constantly, and mixes up data frequently

Wasn't it Tyler the Creator who said 'just walk away from the computer man' or something to that effect? words of wisdom.
trying to convince people that you're actually cool and that they're being cringe by denying your coolness doesn't work too often, you need to have Musk level resources to pull that one off, just saying.
You just remind me of someone else who did the same thing, I guess.

@broken sigil wake up new earth lore just dropped
just saw this on a job post and I'm confused. You are allowed to pick your schedule. We do not offer paid sick days, nor any days where work is not completed. Occasionally we do offer these as a reward for hard work.
Does this mean I have to work hard to earn the right to be sick?
you are not allowed to be sick
sickness is for weak people and weak people are discarded
You have to work everyday but you get to pick your schedule
I work per task - they give me the task and time allocated, I do it. Doesnt matter how long it actually takes, they estimate (and I bill) 4 days, I can take 3 days off then finish it in the last 2
Honestly best system for me, also means I can finish way more than 21 days of tasks in a month
I just work all day, every day and don't get paid. It's a way of life.

severance is so good. I hope ya'll watch severance.
what's it about
Silo, I'll say this, after watching the first 3 episodes of season one I was so impressed I read all the books in like two weeks, they're pretty good, but then the rest of the show slowed things down so much I could barely keep up with it. They have this weird pace that the season opener is good, then it's 5-6 episodes of filler, then it's good for an episode or two again. I don't get it, why would they ruin it, the books are already pretty slow but the show drags it so much. I recommend just reading the books, they have answers.
yeah, s1 was great, but by s2 basically nothing happens
it's a sci-fi show where there's a technology that lets corporation create complete seperation between your 'work persona' and your 'real world persona', so people show up to work 'do things' for 8 hours and then emerge out of it not remembering anything that happened, and the whole thing is extremely trippy, it's like 'Lost' but way tighter, it's like really good.
if you like trippy sci-fi that deals with existential themes it's really as good as it gets. I think better than the first season of Westworld (another show that went downhill extremely fast after the first season, re:silo)
Westworld might be the show that has the biggest decline in quality between seasons. And it went on for 4 seasons or so.
That show had the weirdest trajectory. Season one was almost perfect TV.
sex robots
mmm, idk, it was a rather simple sci-fi story with a solid if rather generic twist, was quite memorable imo.
good performances, banger music.
but the robots won't give you children you can abandon
Oh wow so women can get abortions and be praised but I allow it to live and get called a shit name
Fuck off
Now that's a twist I didn't see coming.
And a maze in the maize
They should renamed the last couple of seasons of Westworld after the sequel Futureworld
they should have named them "perhaps we don't need to make more seasons of westworld seems like we only ever planned to make a first season"
It followed the first movie for quite awhile, even the rebellion
Dunes similar, its like "why did they do that in part 2?" and its like "well its in the book". The OG Westworld & Futureworld are abit daft lol
I like Dune 2 from what I remember
Dune part 2 was a slog, but part one was not that interesting either, the lynch version is superior
I read the book between watching the first and second movie
dune 1 intro was a lot at once I recall
wasn't following at all
but picked up near the end
I think maybe there's context lacking in the movies
I read the books a few times so it was kind of like, I donโt know, it felt empty and extravagant and it took itself so seriously, and the music was so abrupt and distracting. Lynch making dune trippy was the right call artistically.
I think if you read the book and then watch the movies it all makes much more sense
book > movies though
as is often the case
apparently they made some prequel show or some shit as well
Amusingly the lynch version starts with a long narration explaining the background in absurd detail
The books are good, especially god emperor, top tier
Dune: Prophecy has pretty good production values. Not as good as Foundation though
Omg foundation is the worst thing I didnโt last a single episode
Read the entire series of course
They did a mini series in the 90/00s as well
Asimov adaptations are often disappointing
only read the first book
and kinda dropped midway messiah
Frank Herbert's Dune is the miniseries
The books between the first one and god emperor all kinda build to god emperor, I agree that they are not really interesting
They did Children of Dune as well, pretty decent but kinda cheap
I think it was just too much maybe straight after reading Dune
a game i would love to see. since we got that 40's animated cartoon game that actually looks good
is like a black and white high quality game but like super cheap budget serialized tv show
like flash gorden/batman show level campy
but in a game
with VFX that looks like old school camera tricks
you can even see the edge of the green screen in that
wierd, its not letting me save the CR_Mannequin files, or even open them...

Hm. why do these errors always pop up right when I have to goto work?
conspiracy
same reason weather always sucks on the wekends
We are still not smart enough to understand such things. We were told as much by a superior intelligence a while ago.

well. When you get a series of pixels grouped together they can form an image. We use these to show certain things in order give a better representation than just words alone.

can i convert a UEasset i have into a 3D model?
like i want to make some changes to one i bought to make it better fit my game
you can open it in the engine and export the static/skeletal mesh
right click it, it should have some export options
in content browser?
should be off the top of my head

Yep, Asset Actions > Export

Oh Autodesk, thy genius so divine,
For in thy hands, the .fbx did shine.
A format born from code and dream,
A bridge for art and tech to gleam.
Thy humble file, both sleek and strong,
In gaming, film, it does belong.
From mesh to bone, from skin to light,
It holds our visions in its might.
So let the skies resound with praise,
For Autodesk and their bright ways,
To thee, we lift our voice and cheer,
For .fbx, we hold so dear.
No they passed
They all just end up falling in love with the mc
And they was all the girl he met in kindergarten, he thought it was just one girl but it was just the 5 of them hanging out with him
One even dressed up like they used to before and used their moms name
But he picked the one he met the first time, but she wanted one of her other sisters to have hin so they could be happy because she didn't think she was special enough
Yeah the one sister dressing up as her other siblings because she didn't want to be straight forward with her feelings towards him was weird
I missed a bit of the movie so im gonna watch it again, it replaced the 3rd season that got canceled
It's hard to explain man, it's just something you gotta watch to understand what I mean
It looks like an ecchi anime, but it's not. And it has zero fan service except at the end of movie in the outro song
Unless you also count when they're in a bath minus the being overly revealing
And the one he does pick was a somewhat letdown but understandable
yeah it's gpt slop ๐
deepseek slop hits harder
not enough dollars went into training henceforth I shall not useth it
openai stopped my session after I almost had gpt convinced to write me 1000000 variations of this
shame
so, on the format wars, I was getting learned on WebGPU, that seems like a interesting trend to follow, outside of Unreal land
for AI seems like a good solution for JS people
I wouldn't call something "slop" that stomps all over anything the competition has to offer (and also being fully open source) while taking less money to develop than the CEO's salaries of the competing AI companies

Oh, I call all kinds of things slop, I have no filter like that
The game I play, the engine they use is a autodesk product

What are you growing this year
What peppers?
Mhm hmm
Still about 20+ varieties, so aiming for maybe 50 odd plants
Oh
I'm only doing 12 varieties
11 technically, 1 is a cross. Believe the one I'd be growing is an f2
I've made space by cutting back on other plants, left beds to sit with cover crops
so I have a decent amount of fallowspace
Yeah I still got clover going strong on my beds
I'm waiting to order some chocolate rocoto and heatless 7pot primo from mr ranger
I bought a bag of winter mix, for the purpose, it's clover, mustard and rye
yeah, get dug in eraly
Theres a third and 4th variety I still want to get my hands on
Cool, some drama seems around Matt, still not got any of his beans
The rb003 and blackbird sr71 chocolate
few PLC OG I should hit up for some new genetics
Wut beans
It looks amazing
like the mattapeno and few others
damn, that's no joke blud
Rangers shop is in stock for the seeds I want
I just wanna be sure I got enough to substain more plants for the entirety of the season
I could use some gator stuff for sure
I'm happy running the pods I have for a season though, get to know the plants better
The one clayton sent me last year
That man can grow
Had his full permission to save seeds from the peppers he sent too
Either they grow true or I'll have some funky f1s to try
peppers pods don't grow uniform, if you get a poor crop can't really tell if it's a good plant from it putting out a few pods
so I try and grow all mine I like 2 seasons now
I wonder what the lowest size pot I can go to and still get a decent yield
Decent yield being 13 peppers or so
depends how you grow, people grow in soda cans
Not long term tho, just enough to get a fruit set
if you feed hydro fert
and just drown it can grow in soda can]
it'll be a really sad plant, but it works
Half gallon pots might be the way to go
They should be half the size of my 1 gallon plants got (which were still growing bigger and taller)
If I can trim down pot size I can double my plants while still using the same amount of fert and growing medium
that sounds small, but I also feel people go too big with peppers like 20gal+
I'm the only person who will eat them in my household and immediate family
So smaller plants with less yield is perfect
it's not a less yield issue at a certain pot size, without enough feed theye just won't set pods
0 yield
but for sure, I've run tiny pots with liquid fert and you can get something out of them
I'm really still in love with the variegated and purple leaves, number 1 thing that fascinates me more than they're good in food
and pod shape to lesser extant
I think I'll stick with staying away from variegated plants
they're just cool looking plants
oh yeah, they grow really bad I'm finding
purple, not some much
I still wanna know why my boc started out with white and green cotyledons but the rest of the leaves that grew were solid green
It wasnt burn damage from ferts or sunlight either, just two healthy cotyledons with deformed colouring
sounds like it's was old/deficient
This is what it grew into
some people say touch grass, I say touch peppers, just don't touch any part of your body after!
Compared to this picture it's all a bit downhill now
I dont have blackbird sr71 chocolate seeds ๐ฆ
I like these pods that are so scary you know you can make a whole bottle of sauce from just one ๐
if you can avoiding nuking yourself in the process
I enjoyed nuking myself all season last year
I've avoided it all season ๐
Oh man I got my older brother to eat the super hots tincture this morning
His mouth burned for a good 20 minutes
yeah, tincture is for the heavy hitters
sauce hits hard enough for me to want to cut it most of the time

The bird of Hermes is my name, eating my wings to make me tame.
good, had the 24 week echo of baby today
everything looking good
baby is already 719 grams and 30 cm

wait what, didn't know you were waiting a baby ?
your fifth?

raising two as adopted kids too so technically 8 ๐
if I could afford it I would like to have a bunch of kids
it's not expensive to raise kids tho
but being a bit more realistic we're planning for 3 atm
do you get any state help having kids ?
when I'm unemployed yeah
everyone here gets 1200 euros at birth and then like 180 per month, and you get some tax breaks
per month until what age ?
and there's some subsidizing of childcare
we wont use childcare so we skipped that
25 years or when they leave the house
I think the tax breaks here are minimum
well iirc your wife doesn't work right?
so that helps
we don't get any payment per month, neither the starting help anymore
not right now but they are trying to force her into unpaid labour at this time. Which is why I'm working myself to death trying to make enough money so she doesn't have to
Well here everything is a bit rough people cannot even affor a house anymore, say the hous that used to cost 120k 15 years ago now is near 300k
and the income the same
so where you put the kids during working hours?
so technically people is living in shared houses
grandparents or something?
the wife takes care of them. She does the work of a house wife usually. Or I take care of them whilst I work from home (if she is busy). Both of us were victims of S.A so neither of us trust anyone with our kids
wait, so she's not working?
not right now no
ah ok, they want to force her from unemployed to unpaid labour somehow
I see
but yeah, me and my wife are working full time atm so would be hard to do without child care
gonna be working 80% for some time until we have full time care
and hope the grandparents want to help
there's a lot of cohousing in the big cities here too
yeah it's a thing called Universal Credit. You can get it for a year before they put you in some free labour situation to keep getting the UC. So when I say free, it's to retain social security
yeah makes sense
that's rough, if you don't have parents or grandparents where you leave the kids?
