Thank you! I have only seen 3 flower spikes so far (1 a year for 3 yrs) so this will be helpful next time one appears. Ours so far has started what ended up being flower spikes each time in Jan/Feb so around that time we get very excited on any growth :)

Flavacol :) (https://whatthepopcorn.com/what-is-flavacol/) Basically, it's "movie popcorn flavor"

Appliance: Electric kettle. (they are uncommon in the US) It's well worth the counter space and easier to get boiling water than a pot on the stove, or to pre-heat water I add to a pan.

Non-appliance: Cheapo but sharp chef's knife, spatula, and kitchen tongs (great for grabbing hot lids too!).

Awesome! How can you tell if it is a flower spike or a new root? I can't tell the difference -- it seems like it could decide to be either until it's about an inch long and I can see if it is heading up or down.

Awesome! My favorite bit.

Reddit is both stating the protests are having no or minimal effect, whilst at the same time giving away free ad-space to try and keep advertisers, and doing everything it can to force subreddits to re-open. The protestors are both weak, and strong, depending on which argument makes Reddit look less-terrible at any given time.

Although I love the ethos that Fediverse participation isn't a popularity contest, these sorts of trackers are important because they allow the media to understand the reach and engagement these platforms have. And it's fun to see the growth of something that the community owns!

Thankfully options like this are becoming available because it's really annoying to need to continually "digitally migrate" away as these corporate controlled websites become enshittified.
