5·5 days agoAnecdotal, but I’ve seen banana plants push out leaves vertically nearly that fast at their peak growth. Each leaf can be close to 6ft long, maybe longer. They shoot straight up out of the top of the plant when they come out, so they do temporarily add that much height.
When the leave gets completely pushed out, it unfolds and leans to the side and in the end only adds a foot or less to the full height.
Not sure if that counts, but they are fun plants to have. I’m in Midwest America… so you don’t have to be in a tropical area to grow them, but we do have to cut it down every year and cover it in mulch and leaves to protect it.
Our biggest gets to 16-18ft tall every year. One of it’s children we’ve given away is a bit bigger.
1·25 days agoI loved the Gameboy game by a similar name but never tried any other versions, figuring it wouldn’t translate well. Sounds like I was right.
To this day, the only thing that has scratched my swinging itch since I was that young kid has been the insomniac Spiderman games.
In his essay “To Tell a Chemist” (1965), Asimov proposed a simple shibboleth for distinguishing chemists from non-chemists: ask the person to read the word “unionized”. Chemists, he noted, will read un-ionized (electrically neutral), while non-chemists will read union-ized (belonging to a trade union).
Isaac Asimov is considered one of the greats of 20th century science fiction. Again, while most famous for writing science fiction he wrote much more than just that.
Isaac Asimov has won scores of Hugo Awards for stories and for Best Editor; dozens of Nebula Awards; several World Fantasy Awards; over a dozen Theodore Sturgeon Awards and Homer Awards; and multiple Sidewise Awards1. He has won Hugo Awards for Best Related Work, Best Novelette, and Best Editor.
He wrote 40 novels and a lot of short stories, and is a great read almost always. He also wrote textbooks because he was just amazing.
Yes, and the idea of spotting a rare fanciful cow while cowatching.

Is that Freja?
I saw a trailer the other day. It’s real.

Abby… Normal?
Well, presumably more than a few dozen light years away. A few dozen lightyears is nothing on a cosmic scale.
Dunno. I was going off common wisdom I’d heard over the years about people over salting their food as they get older.
Mayo clinic says yes though.
People also tend to add more seasoning (particularly salt) as they get older and their senses dull.
Ah, I could see that. It can be read either way, but I think the author intended it to be read this way. ‘Wow!’ As the reaction to the father’s statement that he won’t have to work if he does something he loves.
Yes how is the text supposed to for?
I’m introducing my adult daughter to Trek. We’re wrapping up season 6 in a few sessions…
We jumped around alot when first introducing her to Trek via TNG. Skipped a lot just because we hopped all through the seasons. Will have to go back for some.
In DS9… We’re skipping almost nothing. That almost nothing? Mirror episodes.
Edit: You miss absolutely nothing in the grand overall plot for doing this. Feel free.
