Migrating to mastodon.ie due to defcon.social is federating with Threads. FFS, I moved here from Hachiderm because I saw they were not federating, and now this BS.

v0.3.0 of #propag8 is finally out! I've included the (tentative*) catalogue that will be available when the site goes fully operative next Spring.
*tentative in case the number of plants increases, other growers in the area join this initiative or, what's most likely, any species/variant dies on me between now and Spring.

Until I finish up the last touches of the next minor version, which will include a catalogue of all plants that will be available, I just fixed some minor issues with the template and wording in v0.2.4.

This irrigation system worked fine during my 2 weeks vacation last August: https://www.amazon.co.uk/RAINPOINT-Indoor-Intelligent-Automatic-Watering/dp/B0BFLYW58B
But it still required some human supervision from my neighbour. I'd only recommend it if you have 5+ plants in the same room, with a similar requirement of water.

Ubisoft and NFTs, a fiasco story.
The ones they released for the Assassin's Creed franchise are my favourite. They outsourced them to a company that had done 3D printing in the past, but no experience on crypto.
When their first drop was a fiasco and they had to create these NFTs manually, they hired Recur (despite multiple voices against it) to use their API just weeks before Recur infamously pulled the plug on their service.
They finally managed to release these 3D printed "collectibles" with a laughable quality and no utility for the NFT associated to them. No companion app, no NFC scan, just a small transparent cube with a plastic figure inside.
At least, after all this, they had the decency of giving customers' money back.
So yeah, looks like that "they don't understand NFTs" comment backfired big time

as much as I understand the parents, having been in that same situation, I wouldn't offload that responsibility to another person. They should have known what they were getting into after their first child, why did they get into another one so early? Very unfair for the uncle, he even offered to babysit once or twice per month!

For the Nepenthes growers out here, has anyone observed if propagating cuttings of branches that already vines, the new plants developed pitchers eventually? I'm seeing a massive difference between propagating basal shots v. cuttings, and I wonder if it happens to everyone else.

that mediaeval BS rings a bell.

Only that Catalonia chose the losing side in that conflict. Consequences of letting inbred dynasties rule over us, amirite?

pues de practicar ya ni te cuento 😃
Luego ten en cuenta que la modalidad que se ve en los JJOO es solo una de muchas. ¿Que te gusta más caminar por el campo y tirar a dianas estimando la distancia a la que pueden estar? Tienes las modalidades de Campo o 3D. Y en otoño-invierno se tira en sala a 18 metros sobre 3 dianas verticales pequeñas.
Luego hay diferentes tipos de arco: recurvo olímpico, recurvo tradicional (de madera y sin ayudas para apuntar), longbow, compuesto (con poleas y disparador).
Por último decir que no hace falta estar mazado para practicarlo, la potencia del arco se puede adaptar a quien lo usa. Yo he visto a chavales empezar a tirar a los 3/4 años.

llevo como 7 años sin tirar, pero si no recuerdo mal, si llegan a 5-5 después de haber tirado 5 sets, es una flecha de desempate. Quien se aproxime más al centro, gana.
