I have a ton of different Nintendo consoles and lots of gameboy color cartridges for that reason. Good thing I collected them like 8 years ago because they are stupid expensive now

I am living in a dry region (now it's like 60% bc it's winter, but in summer reaches almost 0%humidity). I was like you and also got humidifiers before, but my recommendation is that you forget about it and just let nature do it's thing and plants adapt to your environment.

Obviously we cannot have ferns, but some plants like hoyas and such, you may be surprised that they adapt at the end and even thrive. At the end you do as you think best, but overcaring for plants that may be sick or cannot live in your climate is too big of a challenge long-term, take that into account

You sound odd, like a child or someone not fluent if you don't use our misuse the genders of words.

That being said, as native Spanish that lived in the UK for a while, I noticed that genders and verb forms are useful for providing more context when talking.

Cannot think of specific examples now, but in general in a phrase if you don't hear a word or don't know the meaning, it is easier to guess it because the rest of the phrase is constructed around the gender and more complex verbal forms.

Aside from the accurate list you posted, I felt similarities as well with hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.

I did read the first one and liked it a lot, I wanted to continue the series but other stuff gets in the way and recently I've been more into gaming than reading 😭

Sleeping with some light (the blinds not shut completely) was a cause for me, along with stress. No light, not able to see anything waking up, no eldritch horrors in the room and I probably fall asleep again.

I'd bet it's missing sunlight, those things thrive in direct sun.

Second guess is that it's overwatered... does that pot drain well the water? it should definitely not be sitting in water and I would now water it very often.

It can be a mix of both things

where I live there are shops for laptop, console and phone repairs. I'd keep it simple and go to one of those

I'm not sure if it's your style, but search for Extremoduro or Estopa. I'll link something later if I remember

tell me you're not learning with Shakira songs.. native speakers can barely understand her 😅😁

slang but not new slang as it's widely used and it's even in the RAE dictionary (31 point).

Seemingly used in central america, Argentina, Bolivia, México, Uruguay, Venezuela and Dominican Republic.

"coger" means fuck in latin america, but not in Spain where we use it as "grab/pick" normally. It causes fun reactions to latinamericans visiting or living in Spain for sure as it's used a lot.

"correr" is also "run" in Spanish, we share a lot of words with Portuguese . 🇵🇹

I had this series of posts in that other platform we cannot name anymore and thought to do an update on here 😁

For those who don't know, this is a Tevaplanter, a vessel I got from a quickstarter that allows you to do some kind of hydroponic gardening. Obviously it's not suited for all types of plants, and would work best with certain epiphyte species (orchids, hoyas, ferns, etc).

There are fake tevaplanters out there (I know bc I bought one), but at least in my experience they were leaking a lot and not fitted for the purpose (it ended up in the bin).

The box came with chia seeds as starter, but I did not like them a lot as many developed and started growing mold 😅

After the first trial with chia seeds (30 days aprox) I tied some pre-rooted hoya khroniana cuttings and a hoya nummularoides still tied to the mother plant. The nummularoides died and I replaced it recently with a keiki from a phalaenopsis mini orchid. 🌺

It has been there for couple of weeks and already starting to hug the vessel so I'm quite happy. Also the hoya cuttings have a lot of roots after three months.

I hope you liked this, I may post updates on the future 🌿

Just wanted to contribute showing my flowering Hoya Bella.

I had it for three years and every year gives more flowers at a time and flowering period is longer. It has been with flowers at least the last six months and now its opening eight at the same time ❤️ Def my favourite plant 🫶

And as a bonus, also share my hoya kerrii picture. This one was not a single heart when I bought it, but I'd say it has doubled the size in a year 🌿
