You clearly don't need help getting that plant to grow upwards lol, but if you want to thin the overcrowding for aesthetic purposes, snip a few of the offending branches at their base with loppers to make room for the bushes, starting small and snipping a few more every time you trim until you're happy :).

While it could certainly use a trim-up and some cleared avenues for maintenance, it's a lovely garden bed and you don't need to overthink it.

Definitely not septoria; septoria usually starts in the lower leaves, has a more spotty pattern to it, and kills leaves as it moves along the plant.

What you’re showing looks more like mechanical damage, probably from wind banging the leaves against that rung of the cage, or possibly a cold snap if you’re somewhere far north. Sunburn would usually be on the list of possibilities too, but not likely per your description.

I have an “innovation award” trophy from my last job sitting on my office bookshelf.

The alleged innovation was rolling out git to track the DB schema backing mission-critical operations, in the year 2021.

(It was a government job btw.)

Serious answer, content-farm listicle authors deliberately make provocative choices to get more attention, and also usually don't personally care about whatever they're writing on.

Quoting from the wikipedia page of Screen Rant's parent company:

According to TheWrap, previous and current Valnet employees claim the company prioritizes "mass quantity over quality to churn out mind-numbing SEO bait." Once websites are acquired by Valnet, the permanent staff are usually replaced by contractors, who are paid significantly less (reportedly around $19 for 1000 words at GameRant) than the former tenured staff. One former contributor described Valnet website Collider to TheWrap as "a content mill, borderline like almost sweatshop-level", while another writer suggested that Valnet forced contractors to create "junky clickbait" content.

As a sweeping generalization, this is only a problem with chain gyms.

If you need a solid litmus test though, call them during core hours and ask for a quick tour. Nearly all indie gyms will let you pay for a day pass or similar if you’re new (though that isn’t always part of their posted rates). If they won’t let you test the waters without signing up for recurring payment, it’s not a gym worth going to.

Nah, it’s not trying to compete on that front.

True E2EE isn’t compatible with a Discord-like UX due to backward secrecy issues, and it’s a bit of a moot point given that self-hosting mostly sidesteps the core problem E2EE solves.

Thai basil is completely fine to let flower, but you want to pinch the tops early on lemon basil (and traditional genovese) so they keep producing leaves and don’t go bitter.

That lemon basil is a writeoff; you have to be proactive about the pinching or the plant will go all-in on dumping seeds.
