Planted this in early June. Not from seed, got it at home depot. It has grown a few more stalks and leaves, but it isn't spreading out like usual. This is a new spot for it. Other stuff has had trouble growing in this dirt, so I dug out a bigger hole and put some soil from my main garden in it.

The sunflower stalks you can see in the image are to it's east. So it should be getting plenty of sun. Watered every morning, same as my main garden, Soil moisture meter says its moist in the evening.

Last week I sprinkled some 4-6-5 on the soil around it and watered that in. Ph meter says 6. No change.

My other boston pickle cucumber in the main garden has taken over it's space and will need trimming soon. So I feel like this one should be spreading more. It also doesn't look as green as I think it should. Is there some kind of fertilizer I should be adding to help it out?

Was away about a week. One carrot decided to grow super tall and looks like it will make a big flower. The carrot under isn't as big as it's brethern that I harvested. This is a new variety of carrot for me called "short and sweet". Never seen this with my other carrots.

Edit: I didn't notice that the image failed to upload. I have tried adding an imgur link.

As a guy closing in on 50, losing my near vision really annoys me. And the current solutions are weak at best, which annoys me even more. These and the other companies working on similar sound great. But someone tell me why I would need a prescription for them? And is that true in the EU? The article makes it sound like getting them approved to be prescribed is a big hurdle. They seem like better reading glasses, which I don't need a prescription to buy.

This article got me thinking that maybe blue states "should" pause or relax some gun controls and say it is because they think the people may need to defend themselves from a fascist government. They could add in some subsidized gun saftey classes in the same bill.

The concept is symbolic mostly. It may give people like ICE agents a little less confidence when they do a raid because it seems more dangerous to them. And if things get really ugly, it could arguably be a deterrent. Ideally national guard troops ordered into a blue state might refuse such an order because they expect armed resistance that would force them to shoot civilians. Where as right now, they would expect no or very little civilian resistance. And that possibility might deter the feds from ordering troops in because they don't want to risk the order being refused.

At the end of the day. Most americans don't want Americans killing each other. So anything we can do to make that less appetizing to the people in charge that don't care about Americans, the better.

I am looking to visit a friend in a place where the major airport is like 3 hours away. But there are regional airports too. But the search engines I have tried either won't take just a town, or they seem to only choose the closest to the town, and the major airport. Skipping all the other regionals. Any good engine out there for considering all of the regional airports?

It sounds like just a standardized set of api's for interfacing with data sources. I'm not even sure why it seems to need a server in the diagrams from Anthropic. Couldn't the data source just implement the API's directly?
I am all for a standard set of API's, I just don't understand the middle man.

So, AI can do a lot of things. But it needs input data. So I was thinking, do we currently have any technology that could generate metrics that an AI might be able to train on such that it could estimate calories gotten from a meal. Not what was in the food, but what the body actually absorbed.

Obviously it could be used to make a killer diet tracking app. Cause tracking what you eat is the worst part.

And collecting the metric doesn't have to be "practical" today. This is just more of a thought experiment. So if currently it would require multiple blood tests per day or something, that would still be interesting to me.

I saw another article today saying how companies are laying off tech workers because AI can do the same job. But no concrete examples... again. I figure they are laying people off so they can pay to chase the AI dream. Just mortgaging tomorrow to pay for today's stock price increase. Am I wrong?

Just seemed like a fun question. I have been getting Kroger brand, and they seem to have a lot more plain fat chunks than they used to. And usually fat is where the flavor is, but these seem flavorless. But what else makes a good bacon bit? And what is your favorite brand?

I want to make a satirical poster, but the generators I tried kept putting an image that looked nothing like the person. I see so many of these I thought it was trivial to make one. And I totally support it clearly saying it was AI generated. Not trying to fool anyone, just want to make a joke. Edit: not looking to edit a photo. Just want to make a political meme.

What alternative ways can you think of to handle making legislation and passing laws that would negate the increasingly polarized political climate that is happening in more and more countries?

I couldn't find anywhere that would tell me what kind of motor is usually used there. And I don't know enough about motors to be like... well of course it's this kind... But once I know what it is... how does it work? Like different adjustable bases move different intervals for a single push of the remote button (at least according to my wife). So that got me thinking, what controls the minimum interval of difference between two positions the motor will support? I don't hear clicks, so I don't think it is a ratchet type thing which would have a clear min interval. Yet, if you unplug it, it doesn't just go flat. So there must be some sort of passive hold mechanism of some type...
