These are all communities made by or moderated by elefant or 8tr, both on lemmy.world. There's a new community or two every day, then after a couple weeks they get a generic post from a different account. I'm not sure exactly what rule they're breaking, but it does seem to be coordinated and in bad faith.
This means it holds about 1.5 kWh. In my small house, the lowest bill I've seen still used almost 1000 kWh. That doesn't mean it doesn't do anything, but this type of system is really just to have power for crucial systems when you otherwise don't.
Also notice that the $100 is for a reservation, not for an actual unit. The site says ships May 2025, but I don't see the product on their products page. And if you click learn more next to the reservation price, that popup has lorem ipsum (filler gibberish).
Overall, if you want something to stay on while the power is out, look up a UPS for that item. Just don't expect it to reduce your utility bill.
To expand on this, if they lived in the arctic, there would be "selection pressure" in the form of either reduced hunting success for predators or increased predation for prey species. That selection pressure is really all that evolution is: being more likely to succeed and pass on your genes.
Sounds like the "cold brew" I got from a hotel coffee shop recently. It was lighter than iced tea and tasted like water that was briefly run through spent grounds!
I like the idea of a new justice being appointed every year or two. Maybe some extra rules to avoid senate shenanigans. No actual limit, just a constant stream of new judges to hopefully dilute the power of newindividual.
What about planting something else that they'll eat like hop tree? Obviously that's not much of an immediate solution, though.
To answer your original question, it's always a balancing act. I love all kinds of butterflies and moths, but an asp on plants near my front door still had to go. They turn into the southern flannel moth, but as caterpillars are capable of a very painful sting.
Salt is cheap enough that I would just rinse it out and try it. If it doesn't soften, try adding iron out (cheap and easy, instructions on the package are fine). I inherited a softener that was unplugged and apparently not working. I followed these steps and after the iron out treatment it works great.
My house had zero landscape plants when I bought it. Now it has several hundred. In a couple areas, I planted host plants just for caterpillars to eat, and am growing more from seed to have even more host plants. I'm even considering a native citrus specifically to attract swallowtail butterflies.
All that to say, your tree will be fine, even if it looks a little ragged.
These are called disc flowers, and the outside "petals" are ray flowers. Some species have only ray flowers, like dandelions, and some have only disc flowers like some thistles. The botanical term for the whole "flower" (or any group of flowers) is an inflorescence.
Do you have any other suggestions for stuff that's much better if it's home grown? I'm going to build a small garden soon. The only other thing already on my list is some greens and maybe bell peppers, but that was a nostalgia request from my partner.
Edit: All these suggestions have changed my planned garden from 8x4 to 8x16. The missus will be pleased.

8tr on lemmy.world is on the ones that elefant is not.
Is this specific issue at least something that admins are aware of?
Whether you want it to or not, yes.

Have AI write an article about it apparently.

And similarly, how weak was the prevailing coffee at the time that the growers decided this campaign was needed?

The TMZ logos were a nice touch.
This is my vote. If we're going to mess with the clocks, let's REALLY mess with them. I guess not messing with them would also be okay, though.

I think you copied the Australian answer by mistake. Is it safe to assume the northern answer is similar?
With all these suggestions I might need to build two planters after all!
