Any peeps of a fishy persuasion? Looking for a three way valve for 4mm tubing, but water, not air. Anyone attest to water carriage of air direction valves?

Made it to the end of Presumed Innocent, the TV adaptation. What a inconsistent show with stupid legal loopholes and soapy writing. It is incredibly unbelievable that the main character could've been a successful prosecutor. Also I hate basically every character in this but not even in a love-to-hate way like Succession. I think I cared more about the cat.

Even Jake Gyllenhaal's perfect butt wasn't enough to save this mediocrity, but somehow it's been renewed for a second season...

I hated the series. It was boring, seemed to be written by a committee ticking off trope boxes.

Just watch the awesome movie with Harrison Ford.

Oh. Well apparently I've been overwatering my indoor plants. I felt bad for letting them get all dehydrated while I was away, so I tried to make up for it with some extra water. Now the soil has a rotten egg smell. I google "why TF does my plant dirt smell like rotten eggs???" Google tells me that happens when the plant is over watered and becomes waterlogged. I'm a bad plant parent

Don't beat yourself up! It's a very, very common thing to overwater indoor plants, especially over winter. I've done it myself because some plants really need a lot less than others.

Many people see them drooping and think they need more water but drooping can also be a sign of overwatering. If your plants haven't started growing brown and mushy, there's hope! Just leave them alone for a solid week or two to dry out and they might come back yet.

It's a good thing that you care for living things and want to keep them alive rather than neglect them, that's what makes a good plant parent :) and now you're learning!

Movie Review. The Old Oak. Ken Loach. Syrian refugees come to live in a dying North England mining town, locals react, some with kindness and charity, others with misplaced anger.

It's a Ken Loach fillum innit.

It's not entertaining. It's art. It's about present day issues and challenges facing everyday Britons and New Britons/war refugees . It's respectful and understanding of working class people. Never talks down.

It's not a fun or happy or exciting experience to watch a Ken Loach movie but I find myself thinking about the scenes and people in his movies, sometimes even years later.

Watching his movies enriches my life and understanding of people .
