Classy @lemmy.world Recent convert from Reddit (June 2023). I am a musician, composer, amateur naturalist, and also a fan of a lot of small, random things.
You must be confused, or perhaps you're not talking about the same species that I am thinking about. Huckleberries, genus Gaylussacia, are definitely in the same family as blueberries, Vaccinium. They're both Ericaceae, in the subfamily Vaccinioideae. Gaylussacia is definitely not in Solanaceae.
Two species of blueberry as well as cranberry grow natively in a few bog habitats near my home, and huckleberries are also sympatric with these species.
ETA: I saw some context from other comments in this chain that somebody else already beat me to this. I, too, didn't realize that there were, if you were, "false" huckleberries in the nightshade family.
To add to both of our shared confusion, there is even a false huckleberry from within the blueberry family, but instead the Ericoideae subfamily: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/553849-Rhododendron-menziesii. I have no experience with this plant, or even really this subfamily, as it isn't exactly endemic to my neck of the woods.
There isn't any. Just the typical 14 year olds railing on about the same ten commie phrases as if it was ever funny. Looking forward to more diverse meme communities coming to Lemmy so I can block the communist stupid.
I imagine that a floss pick is better than nothing, but string floss is the best way to go about it. Proper flossing technique requires you to be able to have a small amount of slack so that the floss can wrap around the contour of your tooth and slide past the "triangle" between your teeth. The floss picks are too taut to be able to do that adequately.
I'll also say that I completely agree with OP: picking up a good flossing regiment helped my mouth health immensely. It also helped improve my gum health and made my teeth feel "tighter" in my mouth, not like they were always a little bit loose.
SOMA gets me pretty good. To the Moon, too.
I accidentally came upon this same system messing around during long periods of boredom, and now I do all my counting this way. I also include the base joint of each finger so I can count 4 per digit
1 2 3 4 | 5 6 7 8 | 9 10 11 12 | 13 14 15 16
I'm wearin' myself a T-shirt That says "The world is my ashtray" Our hearts pump dust And our hair's all gray And I just got a message that says "Yeah, hell has frozen over" I got a phone call from the Lord sayin' "Hey, boy, get a sweater, right now!"
When I took Vyvanse I couldn't eat grapefruit. It made me throw up and then I developed an aversion to it, and even now almost a decade since I stopped taking it I still really dislike grapefruit. I'm not sure if it's because of the citric acid content or what else, but oranges didn't ever bother me in that way.
Looks like it's a species of meadowhawk, this one is called either a red-veined darter or a nomad (Sympetrum fonscolombii). Great pic! Dragonflies are a lot of fun and a great challenge to photograph.
In the meantime I've migrated over to Connect for Lemmy on Android, and it is working significantly better than Jerboa did.
I've been rocking OLauncher for a few months now, I love it. Cutting down the extra noise on my home screen felt good.
Same, the commented link in the parent link here 404s
Oh my god if JDL made Sync for Lemmy I would buy it yesterday. I was a Sync Dev user for like 5 years, such a great app and the developer is amazing.
timeout error
Every time I look at a post on here (Jerboa, android) it will work for a few seconds then the screen will go black and say "timeout".
Could you explain what "type 2" means? I'm unfamiliar.
Nice K. diagremontiana! Mine grew so damn big I had to chop its head off.
Yes I did a bit of color correcting, it was for a joke about Etsy posts and I can't find the original now
Favorite casual workout challenges?
I am semi-reguarly going to the gym (2-3x per week, depending on the week), and I decided to try a home workout challenge this week, adding 15 pushups every single week from Monday. At first I was doing sets of 15 but I've changed my style with time to minimize sets and maximize intensity.
Monday: 15 Tuesday: 15+15 (30) Wednesday: 15+15+15 (45) Thursday: 20+20+20 (60) Friday: 20+20+20+15 (75) Saturday: 20+20+15+15+10+10 (90)
Today I gotta do 105 and am considering how I want to approach it. Or, I can cap it at 100 and try to just do 100/day. Do you guys feel like it would be better to do 100/day or continue trying to increase my reps? Or perhaps I should start incorporating different pushup techniques (narrower hands, diamonds, lower hands, etc)?
Spring Sycamore — original guitar piece
I recorded this a couple of weeks ago and haven't decided if I like enough to consider for a new album. What do you guys think? For any guitarists out here, I tuned the guitar to a very unusual tuning: CGCGGC.
I'm bringing over the popular subreddit, Spiderbro! Come post your favorite eight-legged friends.
Spiders are our friends, not the vile, eight-legged monsters they have been demonized to be. Share your favorite photos of spiders and arachnids here (yes, daddy-long-legs or order Opiliones are welcome, too). Community Guidelines: 1. Be respectful to each other, try not to get into petty arguments....
Where is a good place to advertise new communities?
I have been working on creating a few communities that fit my proclivities (I just made c/Spiderbro and am likely going to make a couple other communities in the next few days) but I'm not sure where I should post links to it so that others can be made aware of their presence. Is it inappropriate to just shill them here?
Bronze Jumping Spider, Eris militaris
What a fun little guy. I love jumpers: you can just pick them up and carry them around with you and they'll flit about your fingers exploring you with no qualms about it. I saw this guy on an outdoor playset at a local park.
Long-Jawed Orbweaver (Tetragnatha)
The story of how I discovered this beauty was unfortunate, and a borderline Community Guidelines point 2 violation on my part.
I was kayaking down a rather wide river with some friends, and I was getting into the habit of gliding underneath dead branches overhanging the water so that I could hunt for insects and plants to photograph (I enjoy studying naturalism). By accident, I knocked a spider out of its home, and I proceeded to absolutely freak out and ended up killing the spider. Upon learning it was an orbweaver I felt bad, because I know that they are typically harmless to people, but hey, it's all a learning experience.
Grey Cross Spider (Larinioides sclopetarius)
I saw this creepy little fella at work a couple of months ago. I work at an RV factory, and as such I have to deal with my fair share of skids. I was lifting one up and getting ready to move it when a large, grey blob fell out between a couple of boards.
When I saw that it was a giant, hairy spider, I did the only natural thing a spiderbro could do, and scooped it up in a box to take it home and get some good photos.
Turns out it was a grey cross spider (AKA the "bridge spider"), Larinioides sclopetarius, which is in the Orbweaver family. They tend to live in anthropogenic environments, especially bridges, under porches, street lights, etc. I released it into my front porch once the photoshoot was done.
Hello, fellow nature nerds! I will introduce myself with a cute pic of a lace bug I saw a few days ago.
I am a very green convert from Reddit Sync, and am still internally dealing with the sadness of having to leave some great communities on there... This place already seems like it'll be a lot of fun, even with how small it is yet.
