It’s referred to as leaf silvering. It’s a genetically controlled trait common in the Cucurbita genus. That being said those are a bit extreme.

Take a look at the underside of the leaves. Silverleaf whiteflies could also be the cause.

Moved out at 17. Haven’t spoken to my parents in over a decade. The only interaction I plan on having with them in the future is pissing on their graves.

The beans have some sunscald on the leaves due to the change in temperature. It’s cosmetic and will not cause any harm.

FYI your tomatoes are also showing the heat stress with physiological leaf roll. It’s also cosmetic.

They made it the default option for businesses that routinely buy computers with less local storage than their users need. Pretty much every company I have worked for.

They then pushed it out hard into the consumer market when SSD came out and the average storage space on lower end models dropped by 75%.

I see why they did it, how they did it was in usual Microsoft fashion, idiotic.

It’s sort of their pattern.

1. Introduce new changes.

2. Screw it up royalty.

3. Fix the features that are salvageable and revert most of the remaining except: Double down on the shitty ones that they think will make them more money.

4. Rinse and Repeat

It leaves dell with employees who do their job and have a life outside of work. They will put their hours in but not much more. They do not recommend change or new ways of getting things done, because they don’t care. They will do the minimum and punch the clock for years until they find another better paying job.

It’s physiological leaf roll. Its a reaction to environmental stressors, likely the heat. It causes no damage to the plant and doesn’t reduce the yield.

The treatment for it is ignoring it.

Forums were awesome until the ads took over. Then apps like Tapatalk made reading them easier. Then Tapatalk went to shit and power users migrated to reddit (mainly for the easy to use wepage and awesome independent apps.).

Then reddit shit the bed so now Lemmy is filling the gaps.

To be fair, they had to take a chance. Once spotted death is coming for them. Their only hope is to destroy the drone and run like hell.

Windows 11 adoption to business customers is really bad. Most of the adoption to 11 has been from people purchasing new home computers and being stuck with 11 (I have two win 11 computers now).

Since the bulk of Microsoft’s revenue comes from business customers, they have a huge impact on decisions.

At this point the only decision Microsoft can make is to write off win 11 as a failue. Resuming feature upgrades to win 10 makes business sense.

Lookup fire blight.

“Full sun” refers to the plants adaptation to light levels from shade. The shade is from things like trees or buildings blocking the sun not weather.

Plant species have many different requirements for their seeds to germinate. Some species need cold temperatures (freezing) to trigger germination. Some need warm weather within a certain range. So cool wet conditions could be ideal seeding conditions depending on the species. Look up the germination conditions for each species you want to plant.

I was wondering how long it would take them to do this. A carrier drone for expanded kamikaze range. Acts as both a carrier and a signal repeater for over-the-horizon.

Eventually they link together multiple carriers into squads and fly in formation getting 30+ kamikaze drones in a massed attack against entrenched fortifications.

Very helpful of them to put the screen at the ideal distance for maximum shrapnel damage. It also make it a larger and slower moving target.

A “mobile suicide booth” might be more apt.

I support the theory that it was the cats who started it. They are also only partially domesticated. When humans began farming grains the rodent population near them exploded. Cats who were less timid around humans got more rodents. Humans seeing the value of having cats fed the cats during times when the rodent population was low.

If you’ve ever been around feral barn cats this pattern is the same today. They are constantly on the edge of being wild/domesticated.

Ants and plants have complex relationships. Some plants produce extra-floral nectarines to feed ants. The ants then protect the plant from other insects.

Fava beans are one of these species that actively attract ants to them.

So in this case the ants are your friends helping the plant fight off other insects.

Sorry, but it’s 100% a pumpkin. When the flowers open up in a few days compare them to pictures of male flowers of pumpkins versus watermelons.

It’s counter-intuitive but starting them 6 weeks early actually delays how fast cucurbits develop in the field. The larger the cucurbits plant is, the more severely they are affected by transplant shock. I don’t know where you got your recommendation from, but it’s incorrect.

First off that’s not a watermelon. It’s a Cucurbita sp.

That is extreme nitrogen deficiency. It needs a big dose of fertilizer.

Transplanting watermelons and other cucurbits is highly effective if done correctly. It’s commonly messed up.

First off you should only start them 3 weeks before you want to transplant them. It takes 3-4 weeks for most cucurbits to be ready to transplant.

Week 1: Seed and allow to to germination at around 80F.

Week 2: Fertilize and first true leaf should emerge. If the cotyledon turns yellow, it’s under-fertilized.

Week 3: They need to go outside for hardening off. The 2nd true leaf should develop

Transplant: They do best when transplanted at 3rd-4th true leaf. Plant them so that the cotyledons are level with the soil surface. Transplanting larger plants increases transplant shock and slows down their development.

Take a picture of the pest and post it on here. However not much will attack a healthy monstera. I would guess the plant is struggling and the pests are attacking it in its weakened state.

How to keep a monstera healthy.

Monstera’s tolerate low light situations but do best with several hours a day of direct sunlight. I generally put mine someplace that gets the morning or evening sun.

Watering: over-watering them is really easy to do. In general you should water them to the saturation point and then allow the soil to dry out. I water mine every 2 months in the winter and around once per month in the summer. If a new big leaf is emerging the water usage will triple and they will need a drink sooner.

Fertilizer- monstera’s are a big plant that uses lots of fertilizer. I use slow release fertilizer in the soil plus a liquid one twice per year.

Salt buildup- monstera’s are very sensitive to salt concentrations in the soil. Leaching the pot yearly is required. Do not water with “softened” water either. They do really well with hard water as long as you leach the pot on a schedule. They like the extra Ca and Mg.

Moving/turning the plant: although recommended for other species monstera’s respond poorly to this. The leaves open away from the sunlight then tip up toward the light. Moving the plant stresses them out.

Random sampling has a significant effect when the population size is smaller. Say less than 10,000 individuals.

It has very little effect as the population size increases to say something a little more than 8,000,000,000 individuals.

“boy do I have thrips” triggered a funny memory.

When I worked in Ag. Research we had a big international field day. People from 50+ countries visiting in. I got the wonderful job of doing presentations in the field all day long. This was in late summer on a bad thrip year.

Well, one of the office goons decided that they would order all the staff polo shirts for the three day event. We were all supposed to wear the same color on the specified day.

They ordered in a light blue, yellow, and green polos. The first day was to be light blue. I “accidentally” wore the green one instead and had a few very irate office goons on my back first off that morning. Strangely enough all of the experienced outdoor staff “accidently” wore the green shirt as well.

For those that don’t know, thrips are highly attracted to light blue and they bite. I laughed my ass off most of the day.

The following two days everyone wore green. Except for the one determined office goon who wore the yellow shirt. In a field full of honeybee hives…
