Why are my parthenocissus quinquefolia / virginia creepers so different from each other?Left has dark green leaves with a shiny surface, and is planted on a corner, gets considerably more shadow than right, which has a paler green leaves with a flatter surface and withouth the lacquered shine, and it's planted on a wall with lots of sun. Despite this, right is growing very rapidly so i don't think it's sick.Could it be sunlight, soil, humidity? These are supposed to be rustic weeds and grow anywhere, but maybe one likes its conditions better than the other one?

>>5142037you don't need to water everyday unless it's in a container that dries out rapidly. better to wait and then water more deeply on watering days.also, even if they don't technically need fertilizer, you should still provide it to prevent bottlenecks to healthy growth.all-purpose organic fertilizer is best because it blows up the microbial population, which in turn helps everything else flourish.synthetic is good too, but it's more for speed and less for ecology

>>5140986It's a limestone cave with highly alkaline water at 33-34C year-round in a nutrient-poor environment (their food source is a specific algae that grows on one shelf and the microfauna that spawn there) with very little water movement.That kind of site is not exactly common.

There's a ton of edgy ass depictions in paleoart of derived ceratopsians "supplementing" their diet with meat or small animals while having retarded quills running all the way down their back that there's no proof of existing in derived ceratopsians, but somehow none of them think to depict centrosaurines or hadrosaurs from Dinosaur Park Formation eating rotten wood with fungal fruiting bodies coming out of it? Even though there's an abundance of coprolites filled with degraded conifer wood and a reptile the size of a rhino that would probably try eating your drywall is more kino than whatever reddittards come up with? Are there any modern animals that do something similar to this?

I hate the fact that orcas are the apex marine predators of today. Such a boring and lame creature, they are oversized dolphins with panda patches and hunts in pods like pussies. Why? I thought everything in nature was perfect but killer whales as the top ocean predator does not feels right. Not so long ago there were giant mega-toothed sharks and macroraptorial sperm whales with ugly, monstruous heads in our oceans. We were supposed to still have this, but we're stuck with panda dolphins that perform circus tricks instead (literal CLOWNS).
>>5122217Yeah orcas are bitch-ass cheaters. But I think only our generations of late millenials-early zoomers think that way OP, because we were raised at the tail end of an era when sharks were still massively considered the most badass ocean creature and orcas were not as widely-known. I think alphas won't have this issue.I kinda hope the fish kingdom busts out some crazy evolution to counter this pod hunting bullshit in the centuries to come.
>>5141482looks like shit
>>5141090>No you haven’t. I already have explained to you. Freshwater fish are a category of animals that would be favored by fossilization since they are nearly always going to be dying near changing lakebed sediments.>Claiming fish were dying off without any proof is making shit upClaiming that cold blooded animals wouldn't decline during a global ice age is actual making shit up.>I know what I said. That doesn’t say I believe alligator should be thin snouted, it’s the opposite. You’re the one who needs to learn comprehension"By this logic they should be thin snouted, but they aren’t." You are the one arguing why they should be thin snouted according to my logic, and I am explaining to you why they aren't. Keep up.>Like I said their distribution wasn’t wider and then shrank, they just moved from north to southMoving north to south is a shrinkage of distribution.

>>5142144>Freshwater fish are a category of animals that would be favored by fossilizationSo there should be more evidence of this decline, not less>Claiming that cold blooded animals wouldn't decline during a global ice age is actual making shit upStill no evidence of any decline at all and the southern US was largely ice free. It couldn’t be more obvious you’re making shit up>You are the one arguing why they should be thin snouted according to my logic, and I am explaining to you why they aren't. Keep upI said that by your logic that if a thin snout is required for piscivory then alligators would evolve it, which is obviously incorrect and retarded. You didn’t explain anything, you just made up a head canon about fish die-off>Moving north to south is a shrinkage of distribution. They no longer exist in the north due to the pressures that forced them southThat’s only true if the species existed in both the north and south and lost its northern distribution, not if it was only found in the north and moved south. Also that’s only for the species that were only in the north. The majority of fish across southern North America were totally unaffected. You would know this if you bothered to look up what you were arguing about>The overlay shows that guanlong has proportionally longer arms. Compare the individual lengths of the arm bones, the finger bones, the claws. The difference is right thereI did compare them. Only the radius of guanlong is noticeably longer. In yutyrannus the finger bones and claws are larger, the humerus is the same length and thicker, the ulna is about the same size and the scapula is double the fucking size. Cope harder>I am showing you why it is unrelated shit by bringing up whales and polar bearsBoth of which are complete non-equivalences. You’re avoiding the fact that spinosaurids are one of multiple exceptions to “all theropod lineages have reduced arms” no matter what you say>Still waitingTry again

>visit vet for mild uri>get antibiotics in flavored suspension>great, now i wont have to spend an hour 2x daily trying to trick them into taking it>it's bubblegum flavor and they all hate it and make faces and shake their hands in disgustAny foods to hide it in I may not have thought of yet? So far coconut oil is the only thing that works, but they have a habit of rejecting medicine mixers a few days after I introduce them. With raw medicine that tastes like diesel mayonnaise would always work, but it must mix with the flavor of this stuff in a bad way because they hate it. Applesauce works ok tier, but they tend to give up on it halfway through. Olive oil is about the same, probably mixes with the bubblegum flavor poorly
>>5142123maybe try a small portion of buttered toast? i think a foreign yummy food, edible to rats, might trick them into loving their medicine
>>5142123I just pin them on there back in my lap but with my knees up on a stool, syringe of medicine ready to stick in the mouth and squirt it inBe ready to rapidly right the rat to the correct orientation without jerking them and give tasty treat immediately e.g. banana chip or anything that smells sweet and tasty to your human noseIt's anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes of struggle followed by glares while they eat their treat and get cuddlesIf they get a treat afterwards they'll usually settle down after a few doses, take the medicine and look for the treat

Animals we eat, get nutrition from in some form or make products from them or what they produce: eggs, meat, dairy, aquaculture, pelts, hides, leather & textiles, wife just made $500 selling 3 lambs. 2 wethers and a ram. we already have two 14cuft freezers full of lamb, hogget & mutton, so we didn't need them for butcher. they were just taking up space and consuming feed. we already have 3 select breeding rams. we only keep the ewe lambs for dairy. ewe lambs sell for a premium price but like many species, males tend to be more numerous than needed, so $500 for a trio of males is spectacular. they went to a "pet" home so definitely worked out in their favor as well. what are you raising and for what purpose(s)? what would you like to raise? what do you just have questions about or a general interest in?
Okay, well I got some chops from the charcuterie guy. He got his pigs yesterday and has almost completely sold out of all of the chops he packaged. Two pack is kune kune x red wattle and the single is yorkshire cross.Kune kune x red wattle had lard pig levels of backfat, which was expected. The yorkshire cross actually had more meat even though he was 50lbs lighter.Marbling is a lot lower than my previous pigs, which is somewhat concerning, but I have a few ideas why that may be. Thankfully exceptional marbling isn't all that makes an excellent chop. Dinner will be done around 7 where I will post a review.
>>5141575Couldn't tell a lick of difference in taste between the two chops. I think finished vs. unfinished pig is going to make a more significant difference and I will be testing that out in 5 weeks when I send off the first of the finished pigs to slaughter.The chops were really good overall. Juicy, pretty tender, and a nice sweet pork flavor. Very clean fat flavor as well.My biggest goal is to keep pushing up the intramuscular fat to the level I had before.The apricot peach sauce I made was amazing with the pork. Harvested fresh fruit from my trees for it. Added a splash of the rose I had with dinner, vanilla bean, star anise, thyme, ginger powder, a little brown sugar to balance the acidity, and a touch of salt. Gently simmered until the alcohol cooked off and the flavors melded together.All in all I'm a bit dissapointed with the level of marbling I got from these pigs, but I wasn't expecting perfection from the very first batch of pigs born and raised on my farm.
Well, I got some of my pig back yesterday and the chops look much nicer in terms of IMF prior to their finishing ration and I had a bunch of people saying they looked quite good. My guess is that people picked out the nicest looking chops from the charcuterie store and the four or so that were left over were the least marbled from the bunch. The shoulder pieces have excellent marbling on them.I was actually feeling a bit of despair over my pig's genetics the past couple of days, but reframing, informing the consumer and selling the value of a lard/half lard pig to actual prospective buyers at market today made me feel a lot better. People who were interested in buying a whole/half liked the idea of getting a bunch of top quality lard to cook with as well as great quality meat.Despair is always the enemy.
