It started growing the normal pineapple a couple months ago, and I just noticed this parasitic twin popping out out the side
What is happening? Is it a pup? @TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world
At this point, yes. At the beginning of the 1st Trump term I swore he must have had a secret phalanx of lawyers dedicated to finding every little edge case and loophole in the law. Before trump you at least had more people pretending to respect the spirit of the law and avoid partisanship. And before maybe the 90s I think the majority were sincere. Opposite parties could put politics aside and socialize with each other and be friends. But this seems impossible now.
Pam Bondi acknowledged she had a list of contacts among 200 pages of documents and was demanding more from Patel. It's available on the DOJ website.
Americans have come to think of Chinese products as bad quality because of the American companies who engage them for cheaper labor. Walmart was known to order products made to a certain spec one year, then the next year demand the company increase production, but for the same amount paid as the previous year. The Chinese company, not wanting to lose the contract, obliges, but corners have to be cut. It should be called Americanesium, not Chineseum.
Derek Guy (Die, Workwear!) posted a thread a while back (I think about 6 months ago) about how the Chinese can and do make great quality products, pointing out high quality fabrics. Give them money to buy good raw materials, give them a decent wage, and they'll put out a good product. Honestly, they probably have a more fair work ethic than some American companies that just feed their CEOs massive salaries or are owned by private equity.
This stephanotis was given to my parents for their wedding in 1961. It bloomed every year for my mom. After she passed in 2019 I took it home and did my best with it. But apparently these plants are notorious for being a bit fussy and resisted all my efforts to get it to flower. Two years ago I read something about how they don't like being rotated, so I stopped doing that and bought a grow light to keep the non-sun side from going bald. That seems to have done the trick. There are about 5 or 6 clusters and this is the first to open up. And yes they smell fantastic!
It actually did end up with a breath of sourdough to it and a nice chewiness. This was some starter that I had built up and maintained, dried and stored over a year ago, then rehydrated a week ago.
Are you saying the growth on the side is a pup? Should I wait to cut it until after the fruit is ripe? Thanks
