If we just try to grow the lobster in an artificial habitat and protect its health, could it grow to be the size of Godzilla or something?

I've been reading up on determinate vs indeterminate growth and am wondering what the hell really is indeterminate growth? Can a plant really have no growth limit constrained by its genes, AT ALL? Could someone please try and clear this up for me?

Made a rookie mistake and got my two types of Tomato seedlings mixed up. It wouldn't be such a problem, but one is a determinate variety Maskotka which I was going to grow in hanging baskets and one Indeterminate Yellow Stuffer and will need the side shoots pinching out. Will there be anyway to tell them apart before fruiting as I don't want to prune the Maskotka by mistake. They are quite leggy at about 12 inches atm and i don't see much of a difference.

Hi folks. I've tried unsuccessfully to find this information on Google, so I thought I would come here where there are presumably people who know this sort of thing.

Anyway, does anyone know if there are any other primates that have indeterminate hair growth the way humans have on their heads? I know orang-utans can get pretty shaggy, but I don't know if they actually exhibit indeterminate hair growth.

I have a biology class where we have to describe the growth for five plants of our choosing. Im having trouble finding sources for determinant vs indeterminant growth for anything other than tomatoes. Is wild privet, amur honeysuckle, Phytolacca americana, black nightshade and mountain sweet cicely determinant or indeterminant? Thanks!

I’m posting this with a throwaway, but am happy to validate anything with the mods here.

I interviewed at weedmaps a few months ago and have been debating posting because I feel like I've reached conclusions that are important to share. To start with I want to say they didn’t make an offer, but I probably would have taken the position for a year if the offer was better than another one I’d received at the time because the people seemed cool and I like weed.

I signed an NDA so I can only talk about things that are already in the public domain. To be clear though, anything I heard that applied to the NDA was just details on how the role would work and how the company is structured internally. Everything here is my personal opinion that could be totally wrong. Nothing should be taken as financial advice and I’m not implying anyone should buy or sell any security.

Earnings

I believe next earnings will be better because last earnings had losses due to Canada regulations issues. My opinion is the stock price will rise pre-earnings with increased volume, immediately followed by a sell-the-news moment afterwards as it returns to its usual low volume state. I could be wrong. The stock might dip without a bump, or it might fly to $100 a share.

Weedmaps thrives because of prohibition, not in spite of it

At its core, imo WeedMaps provides solutions that help companies navigate the complicated payment and legal regulations that result from states creating a patchwork of medical and recreational weed laws due prohibition. When wm first started there wasn’t a way to find most dispensaries or know if they were any good. The map and ratings were lifesavers to avoid shady spots.

The largest and most capable tech companies aren’t messing with weed at the moment because of indeterminate risk. Companies can’t risk the effect that something federally illegal might have on their investor confidence or any legal problems that could arise. People are litigious as fuck especially when it comes to giant companies, and no legal team worth paying for would sign off on big tech messing with weed right now.

That means wm currently operates in an artificial market vacuum with other small weed players. There is no way to know how strong of a hold it has in a market with no real competition from the biggest tech players in the industry, which imo is why the volume has failed to coalesce around this stock and why it will continue to do so. It has never been pressure tested with

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

I need to ask for advice on which position to accept. I have been offered an indeterminate position as a PM-04 Senior Program Officer position as of last week set to start next week.

I am currently a PM-04 Business Expertise Consultant(BEC) position I started in late November that is 4months less a day contract. I do not know whether to give up the BEC for the Sr. Program Officer or to stay put. My substantive is a PM-03.

Now most would recommend I take the indeterminate position, but it is a HC regulatory position to support PM03 officers. The BEC is corporate supporting managers and staffing. I honestly don't know which is a better career path. One is indeterminate from the get-go and the other I have to work my way to a stabilized position. But, the hiring mgr for HC has said there isn't much growth for PMs in the dept... But I can always apply to external positions afterwards.

Also, I have more experience with the BEC dept. Been here for about 7 years.

** I also have an EC-03 indet offer, but I believe it pays a bit less compared to PM-04 by like $1000 so it isn't much. However, not sure if it is considered a demontion going from a PM04 to an EC03. I thought a PM04 was equivalent to a EC-04.

What should I do?

Retail Food Group was established in 1989 and is a food and beverage franchise company based in the Gold Coast of Queensland. Over the years Retail Food Group has built a brand portfolio that includes many well recognised names that nearly every Australian would have patronized at some point in their lives. These days RFG boast sales to over 17million individual Australians, with over 70 million customer transactions on a yearly basis. While it may not be the largest franchise in Australia, it could well be the most Australian.

Overall, the stock looks pretty terrible. For one, RFG’s equity had fallen into the negatives after some big back-to-back statutory losses in FY18 and FY19. That triggered an absolutely massive capital raise in late 2019. Prior to the raise, RFG had 182.7m outstanding shares. Afterwards, there were over 2billion on issue, leaving the original bagholders with only ~8% of the total share count.

The only thing that makes RFG appealing is the 10-year average SPS and EPS valuations. Except they are mostly propped up by the figures prior to FY18. For exa

A/N It has been brought to my attention that enunciation of the two named characters might be ambiguous so this is how I have always enunciated their names. Ea (eee-ah) and Ia (i-ah). Don't worry the main character's name will come up.... eventually

I have also tried to break the large chunks of text up to make things a bit easier to follow.

Without further ado I hope you enjoy. As always feedback, criticism, and questions are more than welcome.

The more things change.

Fire, fire, and fire was all I could feel as if every part of my being was ablaze. My mouth unable or unwilling to convey my screams of pain, I screamed in my mind. My senses convey nothing but the hot searing pain. Time felt to have passed at an indeterminate pace, feeling as though years had passed. The burning ceased, making way for a calm soothing warmth to take over. The warmth became an ever-constant pulse in my mind transitioning between the steady warmth and searing heat.

Returning to my senses once more I realize the weight of the Olkin felt lighter, his warmth now more subdued than before. Looking around the bay for a mirror assuming even aliens would have one. After spotting one along the wall, I moved toward it quicker than I intended. This rewarded me with one stubbed pinky toe, and an extremely loud hoot from the owl.

“Do you have to laugh so loud into my ear”? I remarked as I raised the offending foot to examine the toe which tried to make a new friend, glimpsing a soft golden glow under my skin. The Olkin spoke up more quietly this time. “Old things are made new and reforged in the heat of their power. Adapt quickly the ones who remain will want to shift with the dead ”. Taking a moment to glance at the mirror, I look over at myself:

Standing at five foot ten inches, I see myself clearly which is odd to me since I am farsighted. I notice flits of golden light moving under my exposed skin. I wouldn’t describe myself as big, but a little out of shape would be more accurate. My black hair has grown a fair bit from the usual low fade, and worse I have a beard now.

“I hate facial hair”. I thought quietly to myself, feeling over the growth I estimated I had been here for a few months.

“We can change it later, there are more pressing matters to attend to.”

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

It really does, I swear!

Hi Reddit,

So I realize now I made a crucial mistake in selecting my tomato varieties. I went to good ol Johnny's Seeds, and was mesmerized by all the awesome choices, and selected two interesting ones (Sakura and Kakao) that looked awesome - only problem is they are indeterminate. I have two grow tents that I can use for them (48x48x80 and 36x36x72) and currently have six healthy plants (3 of each variety, a foot tall).

I guess what I'm wondering is - given that I can't use the "lower and lean" method, how am I supposed to manage the growth of these plants? And is using single twine supports the best method, or should I be exploring those nets I see?

If anyone has any thoughts or links to any information that would be helpful I would be enormously grateful - I've looked and am having trouble finding info on reddit or youtube that seems to be related to the situation I am in (perhaps not a hopeful sign, lol). I'm hoping information might be out there, however.

Thanks in advance.

Note: in case its relevant, I'm using DWC with each plant having its own 12 gallon tub. I also have 3 1000W LED lights from KINGLED that seem to be functioning well. Setup is in the basement.

Author note: Bit of a verbose chapter, I need to find ways of incorporating some of this shit into dialogue rather than info-dumping an entire chapter. Like I said, I'm kinda shit at this haha. Big reveal on the Farok-shi communication method, and some lore regarding the Stilg. I'm beginning to realize this will probably only interest a small subset of the normal r/HFY crowd, given that I haven't introduced orcs or space marine tropes yet. Not even sorry, lol. I've read so much good speculative sci-fi on here that eschewed those normal tropes that I can't help but hope I can leave my own little footnote there, too. Thanks for reading. :)

Chapter 4

Chief Chreenth escorted Specialist Taylor to Engineering after their meal, handing them off to Chief Science Officer One Who Waits Patiently, a Stilg scientist managing a crew of eight servicemembers, servicing the prodigious Y’irgoth engine blocks, fuel cells, and anything requiring power on the Holy Mother’s Directive. As part of their orientation, Specialist Rowan Taylor would take several shifts in their first weeks aboard, familiarizing themself with the needs of its crew in their duties, as well as briefings on emergency shutdown procedures, running an automated surgery platform to stabilize patients, even understanding waste mechanisms on the ship with Custodial and the importance of each of these areas.

The integration with their own department wouldn’t begin in earnest until they had demonstrated a base level of competency with other departments and thoroughly understood their roles. A spaceship is could considered an organism, every part working in tandem to complete dissimilar yet cooperative functions, Rowan mused.

For their own part, One Who Waits Patiently, nicknamed Patience, had been an exacting taskmaster. They had run Specialist Taylor in emergency shutdown drills mere minutes after being acclimated to the Holy Mother’s Directive. Even so, through the instruction given, Rowan came to understand how Patience had earned their place as Chief Science Officer; when they made a mistake, CSO Patience had guided Rowan through the correct procedure, explaining small matters of concern in why it was important to adapt to changing

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some advice. I am an indeterminate employee in an entry level CR position. I was in this position for 4 years and found that there hasn't been much opportunity for growth. It seems like there was always a hiring freeze or only short term actings available, nothing long term or a permanent promotion. To make things more difficult, I am not bilingual and I feel like the only promotions available are always bilingual imperative. About 6 months ago, I was offered an acting as a PM3 in a different branch but same department. I accepted it because I was frustrated by the lack of promotional opportunities in my substantive branch and I needed a way to make more money. I do want to point out that I did enjoy my substantive position but I was starting to feel like it was becoming very routine and I didn't feel challenged anymore and was not learning anything new. I thought this acting would be a good opportunity for me to take on a new challenge and make more money at the same time. If there was an opportunity within my substantive branch, I would have taken it in a heartbeat over this acting.

Now that I have accepted this acting, I have been having serious regrets. It has been a very difficult adjustment and it is completely different from what I was used to doing. I have never done work in this field and to make matters worse, there has been no proper training or support. I have been thrown right in because it is very busy and the only training I was given was being told to read training material, some of which were 600+ pages long. Of course being brand new and never doing this before, it's hard to follow along when you are reading training material but have no idea what it is referencing. I have been feeling completely lost and I reached out to the manager to let him know that I feel as though the training has been lacking and it has been difficult to really understand how to perform the duties of my job. My manager thanked me for my feedback and said he would take it into consideration but still hasn't really done anything about it.

I feel like I made a really bad decision leaving my substantive job for this acting and I find myself missing my old job. I reached out to my old manager and told him in the most professional way possible that I am learning a lot from this acting but I have realized that I want to continue my career in my old field. My old manager said he understands that sometimes people need to try different thi

Pilot on me!!

I was just offered indeterminate within the public service this summer while on parental leave as I’ve been with the government for 3 years.

My entire time as a public servant, I have never received the same pay twice. Sometimes not getting paid at all, etc… this spring I went 4 months without top up pay. Every time, I’ve contacted my manager and pay centre but after 3+ years of pay issues, I’m exhausted. It’s added so much stress on our family, and my fear is if I were a single parent, how would I afford our groceries (I have savings but with the cost of living increasing and the uncertainty of never being paid, I hate always having to dip into it).

I’ve been offered a position with the private sector…. I really want to take it. It’s a better work environment, more money, more room for growth, etc… but why am I struggling to leave?

Has anyone else left due to pheonix? What was your outcome? Do you regret it

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

My buddy Grimm is a shih-tzu of indeterminate age. We've had him for 5 years now, an adoption from our local SPCA, who estimated his age at 2-3 years at the time. This puts him at about 7 or 8.

This October we discovered a growth on his lower right jaw. Suspecting that it might be an infected tooth, we scheduled a visit to the vet to have it looked at. During the waiting period it became larger and larger, causing us no end of worry. Eventually it was decided to remove the lump, and several teeth and send the lump for biopsy.

Spindle Cell Sarcoma. About four days after the removal, the lump returned with a vengeance. The biopsy tells us it is indeed cancer. We scheduled an oncologist appointment, but ended up having to cancel when we realized we could not afford the testing let alone the treatment. We've decided on palliative care.

Because it is the season, I have hoped to keep him around until the holidays end but I am starting to have doubts about everything. On the plus side, he is acting almost completely normally. He is happy and energetic, still very much the same boy I've known for 5 years. On the negative, his lump is growing alarmingly fast. It has already swollen to the point that it has reached the other side of his mouth. His tongue now hangs out of his mouth sideways. It is constantly becoming infected, requiring constant treatment with antibiotics, which he seems to hate. He can no longer eat on his own, the lump extends too far in front of his face for him to eat without assistance.

It has started to weigh on me really heavily. I've considered euthanizing him now, before he is miserable. I don't know which I feel worse about, considering putting my friend to sleep before his time, or trying to prolong his life well past the point of comfort.

Thoughts, opinions, and kind words are welcome.

When I got home, they were still there.

I won't be doing that today!
