Well I've got several large drosera and a ruby red flytrap in the same pot that have all been doing well for a long time. It's a high quality pot that's wide and shallow

Why no terra cotta? It's pretty high quality and isn't leaching minerals or anything.

I have mine in a terra cotta pot in a plastic tray and it's doing great. Are you only watering with distilled water? Tap water will kill it over time. It also needs to stay wet at all times, and it needs lots of sun

Hear me out here...trying to find a therapist who has the exact same beliefs as you in all regards is setting yourself up to make no progress in therapy. A competent therapist would never impose their beliefs or identity on you. Yes, there are bad therapists who would do that, and yes, feeling comfortable and having good rapport with your therapist are important factors, and one could argue it's easier to feel comfortable with someone who's exactly like you in every way. But competent therapists are not going to discuss their political ideology or religious beliefs with you except as carefully indicated during the course of therapy for your treatment progress, and I would run the other way from any therapist who advertises politics or religion up front.

I don't think a moss pole would work for these, but you can cut it right below the node and throw those roots right into the same pot to grow a fuller plant. You only need one node and one leaf to make a successful cutting. You can grow cuttings in water, too

I quoted the study, which is a study of self-reported, hypothetical intentionality that doesn't "prove" anything. Again, I cycle, and recognize the dangers cars pose and how irresponsible many drivers are, as well as the deficiencies in our infrastructure for transit.

This is my anecdotal but genuine experience, I see cyclists blow through stop signs and red lights at full speed on a weekly basis, where I can count the number of cars I've seen act similarly over the past 5 years on one hand. This is absolutely not done for safety reasons and is dangerous.

(A Transport For London camera study of 7,500 cyclists at five junctions found in 2007 that, contrary to popular perception, most cyclists do not run reds: 84% of the cyclists stopped at red traffic lights.)

Oh my god...imagine if 16% of cars just blew through red lights. I bike too, and other cyclists do us no favors. I respect cyclists when I drive, and I've almost killed someone on a bike more than once after they fly through a stop sign or around a blind curve with reckless disregard. Some cars drive recklessly too, but absolutely a higher percentage of cyclists ignore traffic laws and freak out drivers who worry about killing someone. This is a problem that involves deficient infrastructure, but good god y'all follow basic traffic safety laws, it's all we've got right now

Almost all fossil fuels consist of plant matter laid down in the Carboniferous Period, before dinosaurs even evolved

Yeah I looked into the two different storage methods awhile back due to lots of disparaging comments from Europeans and found there really isn't much difference in outcomes between the two systems, washing vs not washing. The systems just developed differently organically in North America and Europe, and inertia keeps them going. Investing the resources to change the systems either way at this point is just not worth it

The episode aired in January 1998

Remember when the Dancing Baby was on Ally McBeal? Pepperidge Farms remembers
