Not quite. No apostrophe usually means plural. With apostrophe means possessive or a contraction (what is to what’s). Its/it’s is an edge case where the possessive “its” has no apostrophe and contraction “it’s” does.

All that being said, native speakers mistype all of these all of the time, so you don’t have to worry about it for casual conversation.

Yes, surface tension causing capillary action with negative pressure at the top caused by evapotranspiration.

Well, that’s a new one to me. Thanks for the link!

Yeah, that’s not what I said. Enjoy your creamer

Weird. I only drink black and this has never happened to me. Not sure why you’re getting the short end of the stick

People are hearing this as defense of a crappy system rather than the strategic idea that it is.

Yes this sucks, and everyone hates it who has applied to a job i n the last decade. Form duplication is just part of a huge problem with how hiring is done.

Even if you hate it, you can game the system using this info. Make your resume for humans the highlight reel and the form version a deep dive. They don’t have to be the same.

The advice from the comment above that you’re missing because you don’t like the system is how to cope if you’re looking for a job right now. Be angry at the stupidity of it, but use the tools provided you if you want a better chance at getting in the door.

That fruit looks great for a tropical plant growing way up north!

The issue is not the sand. Top dressing with sand, mulch, rocks, etc is a common practice with potted plants that at worst does no harm.

My guess is over watering is getting to it. Try just thoroughly soaking it (as in watering until some starts coming out the bottom of the pot) ~ once a week. The idea is to let the soil dry out a little between waterings. You can always stick your finger into the soil to see if it is still damp to see if watering is needed.

For anyone wondering these are, legally speaking, ebikes. As in they squeezed a delivery truck into the legal definition for a bike to be able to use bike lanes.

Is this a UV spectrum shot?

Fruit pie. Mostly apple. It’s as American as… I dunno, I’m bad at analogy.

A small script to append some characters to a string based on whether the letters in the file name were capitalized. Super simple, but I had a data migration project to a system that doesn’t recognize case and people before me coded information into case. It is essentially tutorial level but real life application. Maybe you have something similar? Practical and working before anything complex.

The average human has more than one brain

Cicada wasps are a cicada predator. In a totally normal wasp behavior they paralyze a cicada and leave it for their larva to eat.

There are 2 Shatner episodes. One where he is an actor being blackmailed and one where he is a rightwing radio host.

This is interesting because CPR/first aid classes specifically teach (taught) that back blows are harmful and cause obstructions to get lodged lower in the airway except for very young people who you can turn upsidedownish. Time to rethink. Love it!

Tell me you don’t communicate science often without saying it. Know the audience is rule 1.

But ok, ‘tell’ is useful anthropormophism to get an idea across. Sensing though? In what way is reacting to a stimuli not sensing? It is the word scientific papers use. What would you say instead?

A little, the stretching house plant demonstrates how plants can sense the direction light is coming from. They can also sense qualities of light. They can tell if light is filtered through other leaves, for instance. I would speculate that refected light also has a unique color (wavelength) distribution that a plant could sense and respond to

TIL what a Stirling engine is. Thanks!

Fault divorce makes you prove that harm is being done thus a divorce is needed. This is removing no sex as a fault. I think there are usually financial ramifications from being the at fault spouse. Thus there would be financial repercussions for refusing to have sex with someone. Obviously a bad thing.

There is a thing called no-fault divorce that requires no proof of harm. I don’t know if France has this, but it is how you get around needing any reason besides that one spouse wants to.

The “high bridge” is just the nick name that absolutely everyone uses. It has a real name, but nobody cares.
