If you're new to gardening, then you'll hear a lot about hardiness zones, but there's more to it than that.

Hardiness zone *only* tells you about how cold you can expect your coldest temperatures in winter to be, but people try to use it for a lot more than that. Here's one example for the US:

Another thing that's important to know if you want to grow perennials, particularly things like gooseberries and apples, is how many chill hours (iirc, hours between 45f and freezing) you get, which is shown in this next map:

I'm guessing North Dakota is in that little bubble because they spend so much of winter below freezing, which doesn't count toward chill hours.

A third consideration, which comes in handy when someone who's used to Texas thinks you should be able to grow papayas near Seattle because it's also zone 8 for hardiness, is the heat zone you're in. Heat zone measures how many days above 85f a location got, historically. Either last year was a huge anomaly (let's hope) or this desperately needs to be updated:

When you combine these three, it gives you a better idea of what you can grow, and what will thrive in your area.

By the way, here's a Chill hours chart from One Green World nursery:

Rooting for Jimmy is like watching someone trying to shoot a target, missing all of his shots, coming back with another gun, missing again, then coming back with a new gun and hitting every inch of wall around the target, three birds and his own foot, but not the target itself.

#(I say that with no heat whatsoever btw)#Empires SMP #Empires season 2 #Solidarity Gaming #got some raw lines from that though #I can admire that Jimmy tried so hard to sound Actually Mean despite that being a little out of his comfort zone #Who knows maybe I'll post another little snippet of RLB AU because of this #anyways come on let's get you a shirt Jimmy. it's fine #TEV Talk

How was their first kiss?

Axl leaked a picture online Oooh NooOoOOoo~

The aftermath

#Axl is all about content #don't ask my why he has a picture of them smooching #just roll with it #I think their first kiss would have been really heated #it's something they would both have wanted to share #but they kept friend zoning themselves with the whole “oh yeah we're best friends haha”#I think Zero would confess first #and X would just throw himself at him without hesitation #greedy little baby boo bop #mega man x #zero #axl #ask #my art #xzero

dusk under the lilac trees

#Tallgeese #Wormbecca #I've been listening to this biweekly avian flu webinar for Ontario and following the maps of infected zones #and it FINALLY looks like things are calming down!#they said all along that the increasing heat + end of spring migration would help and I guess we're seeing that play out now #so the girls got their freedom back. they were so so happy #immediately went to their favourite dustbathing location and entered a dirt bliss #then went around eating all the fresh vegetation #it hurts that Anzu had to pass while they were still locked up. I know she hated being restricted to the run #if you'd held on one more moth you could've had freedom

You're allowed to be proud of yourself for achieving things that are not seen as achievements or are seen as "just the norm."

Sometimes, the achievement is reaching where others have always been, and it isn't about being normal, but about the things you have done to achieve a goal. You can celebrate and be proud no matter how "small" a feat it is

#positivity #encouragement #encouraging words #(mentioning food in the tag rant)#i'm proud of myself for trying a new food on a whim (or new as ini've never tried that specific variation of the food before)#and i'm happy with myself because this takes a lot of energy and mental space to actually do and i did it #and i'm not proud that i did a thing 'normal people' do (eating a variety of foods)...#...i am proud that i did something for myself. i am proud that i safely went out of my comfort zone #that need not me emulating the 'normal person'#forever annoyed at microwaved foods which get hot quickly and then lose that heat as you eat it #is this just a me thing because i feel like those microwave meals get cold quicker than food cooked any other way #deploying science side of tumblr to explain microwaves like i am five (lighthearted)

The O.G Idiots in Love

Lance is naturally expressive. Like, the man has no concept of a poker face and is especially bad at uno. Keith can't read expressions and has no clue that his own expressions are practically nonexistent. So Lance thinks Keith is constantly pissed and Keith has no idea Lance is blushing at him and isn't just flushed from training.

The other paladins have to watch them interact and are severely injured by the amount of secondhand embarrassment. Shiro gets it worse because Keith will talk to him about Lance and anytime Shiro subtly suggests something like, "Sounds like you two might like each other" Keith laughs at him.

#voltron #voltron 2023 #voltron legendary defender #vld keith #vld shiro #vld lance #voltron headcanons #ik i'm going to get some heat for saying that they're the O.Gs but idc #shiro is trying #lance has confessed multiple times and Keith keeps friends zoning him on accident #klance #klance headcanons

High-echelon Mawkin suit modules can be pretty wild, and the Energy conversion module in Raven Beak's suit is no exception.

When exposed to an active current or energy field, the module accounts for the level of charged particles in the local atmosphere and converts the detected matter to power. Most substantial forms of power and radiation are compatible with its function, and it's calibrated to work more efficiently when exposed to substantially powerful forms of plasmic matter.

The conversion module is similar to (but should not be confused with) the thermal charge module, which charges the power suit in extreme heat. That technology is also implemented in the protective exosuits found in Cataris' lava zone. The Mawkin use thermal energy to power a number of their facilities: that they'd implement it in their more mobile works is only natural.

Back to the subject at hand, the conversion module's practicality is twofold: to keep Raven Beak's suit sufficiently charged and to maintain his vigor in battle. His particular biometric modifications are such that his suit, combined with his level of physical fitness, can theoretically keep him fighting without fear of exhaustion in perpetuity.

Raven Beak's juiced up version of lightning armor is the inverse of this module: it absorbs charged particles for the purpose of coalescing into a projected wave. The use of lightning armor in this manner negates the function of the conversion module for restorative purposes. Additionally, lightning armor works best against oncoming projectiles, while the reactive conversion module is at its peak when the suit is exposed to ambient radiation or concentrated, consistent flows of power.

Suffice to say, Raven Beak is probably the only person who could stick a fork in an electrical socket and have it do the exact opposite of killing him.

Hello! I don't know if you still do Death note. But I was thinking, before Light get's the death note. He was bored of his life, (Although still had the sense of justice) But when he got the death note. He seemed to change. What if he met the "Reader" Before the death note? And he doesn't have that boring empty feeling anymore? If you could I'd like the reader to have Gender pronouns. I just can't write fanfiction so I wanted to make a request to a good writer!

I do write Death Note stuff still. I am so sorry that you asked me; I am a very anti-Light kind of person.

Light Yagami is inherently a self-righteous man with lofty ambitions. One use into the Death Note and he considered bullying a boy out of his lunch money a crime punishable by death. He was his happiest when he was Kira and, when he had the opportunity and means to get into relationships with people, he made no effort to. He does not care for interpersonal relationships. He does not care for adoration. He cares for power. A relationship would most likely not be enough for him to find fulfillment; his ambitions are just too lofty for that to satiate him. If he wanted a relationship, he could find one.

Let’s say he did get into a relationship with you. Let’s say he invested all his the time and energy he put into being Kira into you. Your life as an independent person would essentially be over. He would be incredibly possessive and maybe even physically abusive. He would hold you to incredibly high moral and societal standards regardless of whether you are or are not capable of achieving them. If you were unable to meet those standards, he would quietly block your number and forget all about you unless or until you can prove yourself useful. If he didn’t, then he would not be breaking up with you because of appearances and would just decide to be quietly miserable.
