Yeah I was going really good but then my cherry tomato plant got mites really bad, i noticed nothing and then within 3 days they were all webbed up and very visible. Then i put off treating them. But i got some bullshit spray that plugs into my hose because it specifically said it gets spider mites, but i think it's either weak af or more of a fungicide treatment. It's halted their tearing through my plants but they're still there, fuckin them up.

I thought about buying predator mites but they're so fucking expensive it's like ughh i might as well just buy tomatoes. Ive only got two plants in pots, a roma tomato plant and the cherry tomatoes. Thankfully they're not destroying the roma plant as bad but they're still infesting the cherry tomatoes

that's what i figure yea

they need more food than that though! go give them that juicy artificial chemical shit and teach them why the haber bosch process feeds half of humanity

What usually happens is I lie down, feel a point in my back that hurts, adjust so it doesn't, somewhere else hurts, repeats forever. But by like 8am or w/e it's like oh no im comfortable i could sleep all day

the only time i've slept good in the last 10 years was when we got a new mattress but like within a year it's obviously worn and yea we can't be spending 2000 dollars every couple years (also my partner doesn't notice a problem). mattress toppers don't help

Idk if it's weak back problems bc i row a lot but also ive been not doing that for a while (but also always have trouble sleeping)

Yeah digging a trench seems like a lot of work though and idk how i'd stop it from flooding. That's why i figure I'll just keep cloning until nature says "you'll never know cold again"

Yeah it's basically like salting the earth, kills roots, also i guess you can "lock out" other nutrients or something? But tbh that's been too much nerd shit to matter for my plants, they're like omnomnom gimme nitrogen

I'm also watering them like every damn day because the tomatoes at least slurp up the all the water in the pots they're in. Surprisingly nothing has had apparent root problems despite all this plus me entirely forgetting to put a layer of rocks/garden fabric at the bottom to stop them from clogging the drains

But yeah basically at this point (the tomatoes being as tall as a man) i dump 2 teaspoons of miracle grow on top of the soil and then just hose it down until the pot is so saturated water runs out of the bottom and it works great. I'd have so many tomatoes if they didn't get spider mites that this stupid fucking spider mite spray is absolutely not killing

If I skip it for too long i see a noticeable decline in vegetative growth + yellowing of what there is so im gonna keep doing it

P.s. part of why im watering daily is also it's usually over 90 degrees outside n they be thirsty

when you want your genitals to say "we're the GOAT"

that might be it because Im also twisting and turning cognitively to find mental comfort

It's not effectively the same thing at all. One is an entirely new skill (liproscopy); the other is the elimination of an entire skill (AI detection of cancer).

No, it's the same damn thing. Laparoscopic surgery uses controllers and robots and shit and a surgeon who does it all the time instead of traditional surgery is going to lose skill in performing surgery in the same way that someone relying on automation to parse radiographic test results would lose their ability to read them properly

Like do you really think someone playing COD is going to retain skills with a gun like come on dawg

You wouldn't need to offload the entire process to another human being

It was a direct comparison to the use of AI for this purpose in general. The "other human being" is effectively the AI and giving them the task of parsing radiographic test results would do the exact same damn thing to the doctor in this case, diminish their ability to read it themselves.

And that comes with the huge caviate that @7bicycles@hexbear.net points out in his comment:

Do you need to steal someone else's good point to make an argument? I didn't address it then because it's an entirely different argument ("this is bad because of capitalism") that i agreed with

You people made fun of hydrogenated water a few days ago and now i find out my dad bought some 300 dollar water hydrogenator that sounds like it just does fucking electrolysis because he thinks it'll help my mom
