Maybe I'm looking at the wrong articles on plants but most I find online will only describe plants by how they look and their taxa rank. Little information is found for common plants on what they need compared to different plants. Or is it assumed all plants need the same ratio of nitrogen and will grow with a lot of hummus and mulch beneath them.
Information like:
- Soil orders/ sub orders ranges
- Ideal moisture ranges,
- Ideal solar irradiance ranges
- How much fertilizer salts they consume
- Photosynthesis work per square inch of leaf etc..
I come from a hydroponics/mathematics background so maybe I'm out of place. But learning about Botany can not feel like a hard science at times where it is a hard science in my mind.
You have perfectly memorized information about every character, location, organization, etc. in the Marvel Universe up to the year 1989. You will not have memorized information revealed after 1989, though you can learn about them (but not have it perfectly memorized like with knowledge before 1989) Even though it's only up to 1989 it's still almost half of Marvel's 62 year modern history memorized (nearly two-thirds including Timely/Atlas Comics (founded in 1939) before becoming Marvel in 1961)
Example: You know everything about Captain America up to 1989, but wouldn't memorize information about Deadpool, who was created in 1991 (you can learn about him, but won't have it perfectly memorized)
Having read all 4, it seems to me that there the digressions on Waterloo & Abbeys in Les Miserables and the Cetology of Moby Dick were essentially the equivalent of world building that we would see in a lot of 20th century genre fiction such as Lord of the Rings with the descriptive songs and lore packaged in between Tolkien's prose, and the multitude of unique terms that appear in Dune.
However, it seems that the former 2 books receive a lot more criticism than the latter 2 despite doing essentially the same thing, which is to sacrifice a lot of more traditional narrative by interspersing external knowledge of the setting into the chapters. For me, it doesn't really seem that different. How do you guys feel about this?
Same as the title.

I was annoyed how much crosswords in the UK are about worldplay, because I couldn't find a single answer. Russian clues are almost always pretty straightforward, with easier puzzles simply testing your general knowledge or thesaurus.
Like, an English clue would be "enthusiastic about scoring a goal", while a Russian one would be "former Portsmouth FC player".
Since I can never seem to hype the Hyper enough Lolol

My buddy and I went to look up a specific moment in WWE history and I realized that there’s no easy way anymore. The WWE Network was such an amazing wrestling database. I doubt there will be anything like it for a long time.
I have a whole library of cookbooks but I'm just getting into baking and I'd like to get a baking bible of sorts. Something everyone has on their shelf and refers to often because it has a bunch of well-loved recipes inside.
Older editions/titles are welcome as well, one of my favorite cookbooks is an edition of the better homes and gardens cookbooks from the 80's. I just want something with reliable recipes.
Thank you!
I remember loving this book as a child (15+ years ago), It was like A4 sized and had several little legends covered on each page, it was split into categories like ghost ship stories, Bermuda triangle stories, weird half true historic legends and myths. Not sure how else to explain it and it's a long shot but if anybody can help I'd be really happy!
The Florentine Codex - World Digital Library view online or download for later
The Codex Collection - Divided into 13 sections
"Historia general de las cosas de nueva España (General history of the things of New Spain) is an encyclopedic work about the people and culture of central Mexico compiled by Fray Bernardino de Sahagún (1499–1590), a Franciscan missionary who arrived in Mexico in 1529, eight years after completion of the Spanish conquest by Hernan Cortés. Commonly called the Florentine Codex, the manuscript came into the possession of the Medici no later than 1588 and is now in the Medicea Laurenziana Library in Florence. Sahagún began conducting research into indigenous cultures in the 1540s, using a methodology that scholars consider to be a precursor to modern anthropological field technique.
His motives were primarily religious: he believed that to convert the natives to Christianity and eradicate their devotion to false gods, it was necessary to understand those gods and the hold they had on the Aztec people. Sahagún was repelled by much of native culture, but he also came to admire many qualities of the Aztecs. As he wrote in the prologue to Book I of his work, the Mexicans “are held to be barbarians and of very little worth; in truth, however, in matters of culture and refinement, they are a step ahead of other nations that presume to be quite politic.”
Sahagún gained the assistance of two important indigenous groups: the elders of a number of towns in central Mexico (principales) and Nahua students and former students at the College of Santa Cruz in Tlatelolco, where Sahagún worked for much of his time in Mexico. The principales answered questionnaires prepared by Sahagún about their culture and religion, and their responses were recorded in their own pictorial form of writing. The Nahua students interpreted the images and expanded the answers, phonetically transcribing Nahuatl using Latin letters. Sahagún then reviewed the Nahuatl text and added his own Spanish translation.
The whole process took almost 30 years and finally was completed in 1575–77, when Sahagún had a new and complete copy of the manuscript prepared. It then was taken to Spain by Fray Rodrigo de Sequera, commissary general of the Franciscans and a supporter of Sahagún’s work. The 12 books of the codex originally were bound in four volumes but later rebound into three

Every now and then for the last 25ish years I randomly think of the words "enterTAINment" and "POIMANENTLY". I knew it was form an old x-men cartoon, but I could never find it from just googling.
Cut to today with Robert and Erik talking about which x-men they would be and Khalyla goes straight Rain Man and brings up the character Mojo. 0:37 and 1:01 for anyone who cares.
Anyway, just wanted to thank her for finally putting that to rest for me. She'll probably never see this, but it's out there.
Well if it isn't the flying Gavone brothers! Would you take it easy there Judge Roy Bean? Keep your anecdotes to local color like Dinoflow and the Maguire sisters, otherwise shut the FUCK UP!
I have spent the last few months keeping track of and transcribing who utters the phrase that becomes the title of each episode of The Teacher's Lounge. As you'll notice, early on they're rather short, and then I get bold and spend way too long transcribing an entire bit. I also made an effort to keep in the pauses, ums, ahs, stutters, and everything else so that this reads as close to the episode as possible.

https://docdro.id/G7r0Lh1 - Part 2 when my phone decided "Who cares about file length now!"
But if you wanna know the final standings without reading MILES of text, here's the results!
Guests - 9 Titles (PFT Being 2 of them)
Howard - 13 Titles
Sam - 19 Titles
Todd - 32 Titles
Bill - 40 Titles
The result? The more obsessed you are with corn, the more likely you are to get a title made from what you say.

Hello All,
I'm a nearly graduated Master's student in Philosophy and Literature looking to transition into Doctoral work on Encyclopedic works of Fiction in about a year or so, and I'm making a list of books to read/research until then. Things that I've read, enjoyed, and that I believe fit the description of 'encyclopedic' include:
Ulysses and Finnegans Wake by James Joyce
Moby Dick by Herman Melville
Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon
Infinite Jest by DFW
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
I'm planning on reading Don Quixote by Cervantes, Gargantuan and Pantagruel by Rabelais, The Divine Comedy by Dante, Faust by Goethe, The Remembrance of Things Past by Proust and iQ84 by Murakami soon. Although this is a pretty big list, it isn't very diverse. Except for Murakami, every author I've mentioned is a Euro-centric white male. If there are any works that you can think of that may fit the encyclopedic genre and provide a perspective from an author of color, a woman, a minority, LGBTQ+, etc. it would be greatly appreciated!
Good lord, they're multiplying.
