This is a portulaca, you can tell by the little seed pods that develop after the flower petals wilt and drop off. They can change color depending on sunlight and how much water they’re getting. I would say the as long as they’re not shriveling they’re probably fine. This one may prefer the partial shade, and make sure the water can drain.

I’ve seen both. The first time, the colors changed as I was looking at it. That was freaky

In case you haven’t come back to the post, the story is by Robert Heinlein with the (almost) same title as the post.

He also wrote Stranger in a Strange Land and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Taken all together, these three works and all the rest of his bibliography, saying he had an authoritarian streak is as valid as saying he had a hippie streak or a libertarian streak.

His writing asks questions, he doesn’t preach. Some of his characters preach, but that isn’t necessarily him speaking. It’s him asking questions and spurring discussion.

They probably look for edits after a certain amount of time has passed from the original comment or post. It wouldn’t matter how many edits you make after that initial time period. They’d just revert back to the one before the long time period, if it exists. That’s how I’d do it, anyway.

I heard it called that back around 1985.

I like to recommend Methuselah’s Children because it’s where we meet Lazarus Long. The beginning of the Future History, although Lazarus did meet Pinero.

What do you recommend and why?

This group is the official Heinlein Society space on Lemmy. Feel free to post and discuss RAH's life and works, and just about anything else related. I'm not trying to keep it too strictly on-topic, this space can be similar to The Heinlein Forum on Facebook or r/heinlein on Reddit (I'm moderator there, too). We can also post funny stuff like we do on The Heinlein Society's Facebook page.

The "no current politics" thing is because of our non-profit status, any questions can be directed to [email protected].

 

The official Lemmy community for The Heinlein Society. Join us to discuss the life and works of Robert A. Heinlein, the first Grand Master of Science Fiction.
