Is Cronometer counting fiber as carbs in calculating calories?

Protein + Carbs (118.9g + 130.5g) x 4 calories = 997.6 calories

Fats (54g) x 9 calories = 486 calories

Total energy ~ 1483.6 calories

-

I started counting calories in September and just realized that fiber has no calories since we cannot digest it.

Am I understanding Cronometer’s calculation for fiber? If so, am I actually eating a bit less calories than what Cronometer is calculating?

Delta force berry and seed are humongous 😮

This berry was on the oldest infructescence (14 months).

Not sure if the seed will germinate since the berry was turning yellow.

Powdered fertilizer became wet over a few days sitting opened on the shelf. Safe to keep using?

First time using powdered fertilizer and didn’t know moisture in the air will cause it to moisten to the point that the bottom 1/5 of the tub is liquid.

Is it safe to use? Any concern of nutrient lockout?

Sinking City 2 is a desperate cash-grab of Resident Evil wannabe?

Played on normal difficulty.

Similar games I’ve played and enjoyed in no particular order*: Resident Evil(0,2,3,4,5,6, all remakes), Last of Us(1, 2), Tormented Souls(1, 2), Silent Hill (2,3,5,6, 2 Remake), Fear(1,2,3), Signalis, Evil Within(1,2), Alan Wake (1,2), Prey, Alien Isolation, Metro (2023, Last Light, Exodus), Scorn, Crisol.*

If a popular or acclaimed game is not listed here, it’s highly likely that I didn’t enjoy it, rather than didn’t play it, e.g., Dead Space, Alone in the Dark.

Quick thoughts:

- I don’t mind a bit of jank but goddamn, do they really need to worsen the experience with swarms of enemies? Swarms are fine. But not with these shitty garbage controls. Slowed aim, slow input. The only fast things here are the enemy grab attacks and those Demogorgon enemies the run around and shoot snot at you.

- Why do the enemy grab attacks last so unnecessarily long and happen so frequently? Calvin was stomping a kneeled enemy but suddenly the enemy got up and instantly grabbed him? Can we stop spamming button for a QTE? Nothing of value was added. At all.

- Are the enemies/encounters designed to be annoying or…..?

- How did this game become a livestream slop/jump scare galore? Enemies just appeared in previously cleared area. For what? Cause Calvin got a new shiny key item? It’s a predictable old formula, sure, but really? Nothing original was attempted in the slightest? Just spawned new enemies out of thin air? Enemies breaking through a door/wall that Calvin has walked by 17 times?

- I spammed dodge. This should be called dodge simulator.

- Enjoyed the story of course since I am a fan of anything sci-fi or fantasy. That’s about the only thing enjoyable in this game other than the improved graphics. Also I absolutely loved the vibe of boating around. It’s a timeless vibe. Wish there was more to explore, but I am wishing for a different type of game I think (I want a Dredge sequel 😩).

Before & After 🫣 (King of Spades)

When I received this imported plant, the emergent leaf was only halfway expanded and may have contracted infection while in the shipping box I think. So I sprayed sulfur on the emergent leaf and potted it up normally.

That was 3 months ago.

I didn’t see the potential when I received it but looking at the newest leaf now, this may be my favourite round leaf anthurium at the moment 😍

Every plant shop is all selling the SAME PLANTS due to TC??? [rant]

Has anyone notice that most “rare” (is it even rare anymore?) plant shops are beginning to feel….similar?

I remember back in 2023 (the year I got into houseplants), I would make a mental note of what each shop specializes in.

For example,

  1. Shops #1 sells many smaller plants with special variegated succulents from Madagascar & Africa

  2. Shop #2 sells many philodendron, epiprenum, trailing plants and select variegated philodendron & epiprenum

  3. Shop #3 sells mostly large plants (Draceana, bonsai, trees etc) and select rare anthurium species & hybrids

Now? Every shop sells the same Alocasia, Begonia, Philodendron, Monstera. They’re sold in their baggies. Not even acclimated.

Where are the truely rare plants? All these TC are becoming numbingly boring. Oh wow! A new Alocasia TC is now pink instead of albo! Let me order 200 bags!!

Roommates left for vacation and I noticed that I shower & tidy less???

My roommates left for a family vacation (they’re siblings) 1.5 weeks ago and they told me they’ll be back in 3 weeks ish.

And today, I somehow finally noticed that I’ve only showered 3 times since they left (shower every 3 days) and the house is a mess.

Before this, I shower about 5-7 times a week which is what majority people do I think? And I keep my room tidy as well as the shared spaces.

I would say I am the “tidy person” of this house compared to my roommates. I’d vacuum & sweep the floor, clean shared bathroom, clean the kitchen & stove regularly weekly.

But since they’re gone, I feel a little……relieved(????) that I can put off my normal tasks & chores. And today I am finally seeing the results of this procrastination.

Anyone experienced this phenomenon where you’re finally left alone and have succumbed to your ADHD tendencies?

What’s going with me???

▲ 3 r/hoyas

I have about 20 Hoyas I think and about a handful of them had root rot in the last 8 weeks. And just today, I checked on my 3 week old rooted cuttings in my prop boxes, and I’d say about 1/4 has root rot.

Not sure what is happening. I don’t give special fertilizer nor special mix for my plants. All my plants (hoya, anthurium, alocasia, philodendron, string of plants) get the same soil mix and fertilizer but only my Hoyas are getting root rot.

Since I didn’t bother repotting and treating them, I just kept watering them as usual. I use clear pots so it’s easy to tell.

-

What surprised me is that those Hoyas with root rot just kept growing new healthy roots, some of those new healthy roots are even touching the dead roots!

-

The growth of new leaves are slowed down, but not stopped. So what’s going on? Why hasn’t root rot decimated my Hoyas yet? I know I would need to repot and disinfect the roots one day but I am surprised after 8 week, those Hoyas are growing normally albeit slower.

- The wooden lid need to be sanded down a bit right? What do we use after we sand it? Wood oil conditioner (we have one for our chopping board).

- We’re not sure what the black stain is. Looks like paint or oil stain? We rubbed it with our fingers and didn’t transfer anything onto our fingers.

- The canvas is really dirty. The picture is after we hosed it down.

- We used dish soap + baking soda + a hard tooth brush on one side to see if it works. We scrubbed it for a few minutes. Let it soak for 10 minutes. As you can see, the left side is slightly brighter. But not enough for the black stain.

- What should we soak the canvas material in? Oxiclean? How do we even soak this box? It’s pretty large, larger than a kitchen sink.

Been on Adderall 15mg for more than 3 months and my sleep has been reduced from 8 hours to 7 hours roughly.

BUT!

I don’t feel sleep deprived or need a nap at all? I thought maybe I need to pay my sleep debt one day so I decided to stop taking medication just to see if I can sleep longer.

I didn’t!

I slept for the same amount (7 hours) on the day I didn’t take medication.

Will there be any detriment to my health if my sleep duration is reduced for the long term?

These are from my magnificum x papi variegated.

Can the color of the seeds indicate that the variegation genes from my variegated papillilaminum have been passed down?

1st picture shows my Red Spider (2nd picture) self pollinated seedlings!

The characteristics between each seedling vary so much. I thought I would be able to create more red spider with self pollination, but, alas, what I have is more akin to “more forgetii seedlings” 😂😓
