My carnivorous bog garden, backyard orchard/vineyard and veggie garden on my small 1/3 arce suburban lot is begging for this. It must suck to be a farmer in this state as for the past few years.
My Purperea and Swaniana mainly consume ants. By the end of the middle season all their pitchers would be stuffed full with ants. This colony made the unfortunate mistake thinking they hit big with a food source when in reality probably half of the biomass of that whole colony is now set to be consumed.
I bought the Gen 1 Wayfarer last June directly from the Rayban website. Speakers crapped out on me in March. I did a warranty claim and they asked for a proof of purchase/receipt. They sent me an email telling me to go to a Lenscrafter to get a replacement up to 500 dollars, it had a code for the employee to use. I just finished that whole process and have a Wayfarer Gen 2 now. If these glasses crap out on me can I do a warranty claim on them to get a replacement? I do have a receipt from Lenscrafter for the new pair.
Just in case youre wondering what the blackest plant I have looks like when it first produces pitchers vs when its late into the season.
Got tired of keeping the seedling trays watered so I just stuffed it into the bog garden to grow larger before I sell them off.
Before I used to use the Chat feature on sites to handle customer service stuff because I didn't like or want to talk to someone on the phone and emailing a company response was too slow. Using chat was basically having a human deal with my consumer complaints from the safety behind a text box like an email but at the response speed of being on a call without having to talk to someone.
Now all these companies are replacing their chat feature with some Ai chatbot that sucks at getting anything done. It just ends up wasting a ton of time and takes a while before a human takes over. It got so bad for me that I ended up just calling places to talk about customer service related stuff or resolving issues. I used to have PARALYZING anxiety talking to strangers over the phone that I completely avoided it. I hated not being able to clearly hear someone on the phone and ask them to repeat themselves that usually I didn't and I'd end up extremely confused at the end and just hang up and spend a while to piece context clues together to understand what that conversation was. I'd be scared of sounding stupid or asking something stupid. I hated I couldn't look back on the convo in a text log so I could understand or see if I misunderstood something.
Ever since Ai started taking over, my impatience basically forced me to talk to people on the phone. So much so it's kind of a normal thing for me now, especially when I had to deal with talking to health insurance people over the phone and EVERY SINGLE thing I was scared of happened in a 2+ hr long phone call. Had to ask them to repeat themselves, reexplain something, ask dumb "No duh that's covered in the policy" questions, etc. After that talking on the phone is normal. It even translates to in person where I'm not avoiding asking what I think is stupid questions to employees at a store because the context is very similar to what I ask on a phone but there's a person I'll never see again talking with me.
I'm trying to completely cover a corner of my bog with VFTs, where its so thick and dense you cannot see the soil under. The season is just starting so here's to hoping it works.
