I've kept carnivorous plants alive in both Louisiana and Pennsylvania. Humidity is big when they're getting established, but afterwards they're pretty easy to maintain (except nepenthes, I've had no luck with those). Pitchers (sarracenea) and sundew (drosera) are pretty easy and some varieties of pitchers are cold hardy. Sundew will eat gnats and fruit flies year-round. They'll also flower and toss tiny seeds everywhere. I had one drosera capensis become 20 in about two years. However, both need neutral soil (peat, perlite, and sand) and distilled water.

I had the most luck keeping them in a tray with about 0.5-1 inch of water. Kept them properly hydrated and kept the air around them humid enough.

I had that experience with David Foster Wallace and his commencement address. The first half was exciting intellectually and by the last half I realized it was a cry for help

I remember taking the upper level thermo courses for my undergraduate. Through the semester, they introduced a handful of equations for specific scenarios. Then the final was like 4 questions in 3 hours and with the equation for Gibbs Free Energy.

Needless to say, not my best grade

Man's got Wallace and Gromit in his head looking for cheese. No telling which synapse will burn out next

The whole "I don't do politics" angle makes me so angry. They're getting mugged and saying, "I didn't see a mugging"

I kind of suspect that proton pays a premium to get their IPs whitelisted

Lot of backing out. So they've been cowards the whole time, huh?

I got a sign in prompt over my proton vpn the other day. Refreshed and it was gone
