>>5091105With earthenware, the walls of the pot itself suck up some water which means it can evaporate out of the system all over and not just from the surface soil. This is because it's very porous like a sponge. You can also use them in reverse and bury a clay pot of water and it will slowly leak out into the surrounding soil. Concrete isn't totally solid either, but if they're glazed on the outside the water won't get out.Soil holds onto water like a sponge and most of it stays near the bottom, so they can still be wet even if the surface soil is dry. That can trick you into watering way too often so the bottom soil is always in a very wet state. "Drainage" does nothing to stop this because only water over its capacity falls out, the rest stays soaked in like wet laundry. In a sealed container, especially with mulch, they can be extremely slow to dry out so if you overwater it will basically never recover without damage. Plants really susceptible to root rot are easy to kill in pots for this reason, or those with very shallow roots that constantly need watering since the top couple inches dry out first.>>5091106Plants also need heat, but if you give them too much they fucking die. They certainly can't clear the water in time if you drown them before they can, and the time that takes is linked to the pot material as much as the soil. Plants in the ground normally have a huge area for water to spread out to so they are tastefully moist and not sopping wet. Plants in pots have to be managed carefully since water and temperature suffer major swings. And to be clear, too much water rots off your plant roots, which means they won't be contributing to removing it at all.You can imagine then why you might want it one way or another depending on the species tolerance or how deep its roots go. Usually it depends on you since it's easy to water too much, but you could purposely trap water for longer too. Every part makes a difference including the pot material.
>>5090075I'm in zone 7 and today's forecast is -12C. I'll probably try some telopeas in container in the future once I have place to move them for the winter.
>>5091219I have no idea what zone 7 is but -12 sounds grim. maybe krummholzed spruce trees would be more realistic
>>5091234USDA zone 7.

WHY ARE FROGS SO FAT
>>5091150why are you?
Fat fuck editionPost fogses and talk about fopsesThe fox of last year: >>5083514
>>5091023We WILL secure the existence of our foxness and a future for red kits
>>5090720>>5090877oddly enough the fox is the older one
>>5089813You’d better be.
HEY
Do you like fox plushies
>Wake up in the morning>Walk over to bathroom mirror>Theres spider bites on my face
Can you just leave a frog out and hope it catches all the spiders?

General for the discussion of rodent care with a focus on rats3 year old editionPic rel is Burroughs taken in June who passed on Saturday at about 3 years old>Rats need love >Rats need companionship >Rats need free roam time >Other rodents welcome Rat first aid: http://neratsociety.co.uk/articles/firstaid.shtml Good and bad food: https://squeaksandnibbles.com/safe-foods-for-rats/
>>5083929It's hard to contain them if you live in a house, they live in holes on the ground and I don't feel like covering my entire yard with concrete
>>5089898it's not a fancy rat
>>5090201It's an exquisite hamster
will girls think less of me if I get a pet rat?
>>5090902I don't think girls could think less of you anon>now the cruel joke is out of the wayIt won't really change much, it'll be an interest/hobby to talk about. It will freak some chicks out and others will be smitten with the small furry animal.Really ask in >>>/adv/ but trying to be someone your not, won't make you happy and using animals to do it also brings them down with you. So don't get rats to get girls, get rats if you want a furry bro with a short life span
gluttony edition
silly beaver, there's no water nearby

In Zen Buddhism, Shikantaza (只管打坐) is the practice of "just sitting."
look at this fat fuck
My Cat Rock’ 2 chains
>>5090749filename structure says otherwise
>>5090739Kitty!
>>5090735>Yo lil Donnie, I put my wife's necklace on my cat! How do ya like those apples ya orange gorilla?
>>5091034sent ;)
>>5090732Looks like a very smart cat. He's even sporting a chain
Let’s talk about the apes of Africa and Asia.
>>5089802So how does one tell unflanged males apart from females?
>>5090800Unflanged males are still bigger than females, but not as big as flanged males.
would it be possible to uplift them like in a science fiction book? i always thought that we should be encouraging other animals to be smart and to develop. they can be helper golems.
My uneducated guess is 8 tons. Is that right on the money?Like 40-ish feet long, 20 feet tall when rearing up and weighed around 8 tons.
>>5091192Also theropod height is measured at the hips
>>5091192We have like 7 decently complete fossils. Out of which 4 (Sue, Scotty, Victoria, Stan) are 40 feet long or close to that mark. Given how rare fossilization is, I think that number is enough to suggest a good chunk of them reached 40 feet.
>>5091194>>5091192It's crazy how fucking hard it is to find size estimates for any specimen that isn't Sue or Scotty. I had to go through some sketchy sites to find something for Trix, and I have practically given up on Wyrex.
>>5091194Are there any perfectly understood to have been bigger than 40 feet? i swear when Scotty was new they said it was 13 meters long (about 43 feet) but now i see him mentioned more often as 12 (40 feet)
>>5091193Anon don't say that you are going to make him ramble for weeks about theropod posture again
>>5091091>>5091092these are apes
>>5091021Based
>>5091187Apes are monkeys THOUGH.
It doesn't make sense that the largest animal known to have ever lived is the blue whale and it's currently living in our timeline. Why there was not a prehistoric sea monster or something bigger? Everything was bigger back then. It doesn't make sense.
>>5088592Giant baleen whales are an oddity and relatively recent development. They’ve perfected gigantism in a time where conditions are perfect, or at least were perfect before we figured out steam can spin a turbine. There’s a reason why every time we find something that is hyped as being potentially larger than a blue whale it’s always something super fragmentary where the size estimates have a massive margin of error. That doesn’t mean nothing larger existed, just that it would be really hard for anything that isn’t a baleen whale to reach that size
>>5088592Extremely unlikely that blues are the biggest animals to have ever existed. That we have found multiple that rivals the size of your average blue, to even surpassing it should clue you in. Weirdly enough (or not, if you're not a retard who for some reason cannot fathom fauna that are not like our present day ones) two of those species were macro predators.
>>5088681Going off a number of presumptions here, primarily the one that says you need krill in order to achieve the body sizes that blue whales did. A lot of the planet's largest marine animals were ichthyosaurs and none of them were filter feeders, so you don't really need to be a filter feeder to become huge. It is however an extremely good way to do it, considering how well it's served baleen whales and the filter feeding fish that also became huge. It's entirely possible that the blue whale is the largest filter feeder ever, but that doesn't mean you need krill in order to become huge.However, this is where this conversation hits a wall because we don't know what the giant ichthyosaurs like Ichthyotitan were really eating, or even how they were feeding, so there's no telling what other roads to oceanic gigantism there are. Filter feeding is just the one we're the most familiar with.
>>5090883>That we have found multiple that rivals the size of your average blue, to even surpassing it should clue you inWe haven't. The fossils are either so fragmentary as to make size estimates fanfiction, or the size estimates are paleontologists bullshitting the media for PR.
>>5091134mammalfags coping so hard they call paleontology fake and gay
As a pet owner I'd be very concerned about any animals being outside in general.No shot this doesn't backfire and kill some native species.
>>5077373>Feral dogsSpeaking of, I never understood how dingos were a problem in Australia. We have them in the USA and they are chill.
>>5091012bogan sheep ranchers make hicks look smart and sheep make cattle look like badassesyou know bogans are dumb fucks because lamb and mutton taste like shit
>>5077424>The issue with cat culls though it is tends to produce rat/mice booms which again harass and attack ground-nesting birds.things that never happened

I know a cute girl who has a ferret who posts on r9k. Met her at a wedding she was actually pretty cute and funny. I could save her
>>5089865Why does she need to be saved?
Saw a spotted skunk today. Didn't get a picture because it was very quick, but I saw it for real, I promise.
