    I just want the functionality organized in some predictable way and leave me some place to work in

    Then customize it. If you’re using Office, it should even be transferred between devices. This is exactly why you can customize it: so you can make your type of work your focus.

    I’m not here to defend MS or anything, but I can’t help pointing out the answer right in front of you.





  • Either too much or not enough sunlight causes some succulents to turn purple, and judging by the growth pattern and lighter colour of the leaves, it seems like it doesn’t get enough sunlight. It being so focused in those areas where leaves are attached would probably indicate it’s trying to heal up some wounds, and trying to protect it from sunlight.

    As to why it’s dropping seemingly healthy leaves, I have a theory. If I see this correctly, the roots are popping out everywhere, indicating that it has nowhere to go. This will slow down growth and it will drop older leaves in order to sustain the growth.

    That’s just a theory though. Personally, I would repot it into a bigger (plastic) pot with drainage, and place it somewhere that gets a bit more sunlight and track how it’s growing.

    Would also appreciate a higher res picture to definitely say it’s the roots and maybe check out the specks on the leaves, as that could be a disease.




  • I don’t think there’s a big problem by using upvotes, downvotes and comments as systems that can show the popularity or controversy of a post.

    Imo the bigger problem is in the comments using the same voting system. For starters, everyone the system in a different way. Most notably example is downvoting to disagree.

    Secondly, because we are evolutionary wired to try and fit in, you either consciously or subconsciously try to create a comment that will give you the best chances at seeing the numbers go up and receive validation from your peers.

    Personally I think the system is fine to keep running under the hood to keep the sorting algorithms available and maybe for moderation purposes, but it would be great if we wouldn’t be able to see them at all as to not be influenced by the connections we make between votes and post content.


  • It’s definitely a dosage thing, but cats don’t really have any brakes when it comes to chewing on shit. So they will chew anything that looks like grass, which can be dangerous when you have toxic succulents that have large leaves.

    I second the drainage comment, hopefully it does have holes at the bottom. Otherwise instead of succulents I would recommend OP to put in “air plants” (Tillandsia) as they don’t need soil and draw moisture from the air.
