I mean if you chose a bamboo variety that loves it outside but hates it inside then it will be a big challenge to keep them alive inside (most bamboos you see growing outside won’t like it inside)

My Earina Autumnalis orchid flowered I have also got lots of other plants Im proud of, but I’m away from home so this is the only photo I’ve got.

Your terrarium is looking beautiful! I’m planning on making a large cooled terrarium for alpine plants sometime. All my current tereriums are small so it will be quite a challenge.

I really don’t understand the allure of Kiss launcher, but I guess its not for me.

I’m trying out heliboard since everyone is recommending it. It does seem very good. Might be my new main keyboard.

And I will definitely try out antenna pod as you give it so much praise

Thanks for your recommendations, also btw your auxio link links to aves instead of auxio

Thanks, I’m trying out NewPipe right now but haven’t quit got the hang of it, though Im not giving up yet, I just don’t feel I can rank it yet.

Also i agree those Fossify apps are great that’s why I included the Fossify suite in A tier. I realise now that maybe they arent all A tier so Here’s my ranking of Fossify apps that fits in with the prior ranking:

Low S tier: Contacts, phone, SMS messenger

A tier: Gallary, file manager, Calendar, Clock, calculator

B tier: paint, voice recorder, keyboard, camera, launcher

Haven’t used enough to rank: notes - no sync and no markdown :( Music player - just haven’t used it much

Its outdoors, it can be to warm inside for these orchids to be happy

Thank you, it’s native to New Zealand. I am growing it on spagnum (spagnum seeweed mix), the spagnum is dried, not killed, so it does not rot easily and may grow again if kept in the right conditions.

The spagnum is also apparently sustainably harvested in New Zealand. however I have my doubts on how sustainable it actually is, so Im trying to grow future batches myself (grows so slow, and im pretty bad at re-aliving it)

Thabk you! I love them to.

Thank you! I was so happy when I saw flowers with the new shoots. I think it loves it there now :)

More on the wild side I love bilberrys! and they are native to the UK. Delicious and great garden decor

I would tinker for a bit but definitely not spend any more money on it as it’s not worth the money. Where im from you can often find cheap B&W laser printers on facebook marketplace or another second-hand platform for free or for very cheap.

Laser printers will be much cheaper in the long run so I strongly recommend one. Unfortunately a good colour one is very expensive but old B&W ones like the Brother HL2130 are still great.

Facebook marketplace does suck but sometimes it’s the only/best option, still steals your info tho

Unfortunately the alpha roll-out had a major unpached bug causing a complete internal breakdown of the ethics and intelligence processing units in all those updated.

Some hypothesis that as alpha men now have the processing capacity of an ant, they may soon evolve a hive-mind. As this would allow all mental processing to be outsourced to a singular fat orange queen.

Edit: spelling

Our young Tui are practicing right now, its so fun watching them barely be able to sing, sounding like a donkey while trying there best to imitate the melodic adults.

Then they slowly grow up and learn new things until eventully they can perfectly imitate our car reversing beep, fooling us to think someone is stealing our car.

Lookd like its next to a sink, methinks soap

And bad for everything but the algea is bad for the ecosystem the algea relies on to live

Algae itself needs a functioning ecosystem to survive, to much algea will cause it to kill itself due to overpopulation (e.g. using up resources and dead algea not being cleaned up) while in a small scale humans can care for the algea, taking the place of the ecosystem, for any large area this would be unfeasible and the ecosystem including the algea would collapse.

A benifit of biodiversity is greater resilance to change, by selecting for the growth of specific algea using iron you cause other algea/plant that rely on the prior ecosys to die out (including those reliant on other organisms which died). this group of less diverse algea will be more susceptible to change, (diseases or environmental change) and as most of the algea in the world will be similar, most of the algea in the world could get wiped out in one go.

So the likely outcome would be an initial spike in carbon capture before the environment becomes unsuitable, collapses, and most of the algea dies.

So all im all at any meaningful scale in the sea this is and will always be, a terrible idea.

(A better idea would be lots of small manigable algea tanks which could realistically be maintained and won’t affect the current diversity, diseases could also not spread between them. This would be expensive but could actually work as a long term solution)

Thank you!

Also how does a seed library work? is it where people bring there excess grown seeds to share with others, because if so that’s so cool, I wish we had a thing like that here

Thank you for your lovely reply. I’ll try and answer as best as I can.

I stumble across most seed’s while doing other things in the forest such as tramping or pest trapping. While the Kowhai seeds I grab from a beautiful old naturally bonsaid tree on an island I do conservation on.

The idea of eco-sourcing is that plants of the same species have regional variation which makes them better suited/more benificial for that region. So we want to plant planted with seed that came from a wild plant in the ecological region they are planted in. (Another benifit of wild plants is more genetic diversity).

The nursery is purely for conservation and is partnered with our department of conservation they sell plants at a price low enouph to buy the stuff to grow more plants and everyone there is a volenteer growing plants for fun (mostly lovely old people).

Ive been eco-sourcing some nikau, kowhai, kareao and puriri seeds to bring to our native plant nursery where I volunteer at. Im also going to try and grow some kareao in my room.
