There is a lot of changes for most people in their late teens/early 20's. As teens make the conversion to full adulthood, life has a way of rearranging priorities and changing attitudes.

Because of this romantic relationships that form prior 18 years old have around a 90% chance of dissolution within 10 years.

So do yourself a favor, give yourself 4-5 more years to get through schooling, work, pay bills etc and then look at getting married.

My wife's college roommate married the guy she started dating at 14. They went to different universities 2 hours apart. They lived together when she went to grad school. They got married when they were 26 and have been happily married with 3 kids for over 20 years now.

Interestly, its not really inattentive car drivers that make motorcycling so dangerous.

Because of their small size, single headlight and rapidly changing speed, the human brain can't accurate identify, and track them. Especially at night or in adverse weather conditions. So drivers cut them off all the time because the brain does not process the information correctly.

Combine that with the average aggressive driving, speeding, tailgating, and other dumbass dangerous behaviors that I see motorcyclist do daily and the death rate is shockingly low in my opinion.

I spend a lot of time driving and have seen around 20 motorcycle accidents happen over the years. Only one was another drivers fault and not caused by the absolute stupidity of the motorcyclist.

Yep, 10 years with a reseller. I have 5 lines now and my bill is $150/month. I always purchase unlocked phones so I have the option of swapping whenever I want. I only run midrange phones and run them for 3+ years. I also pay for cable internet for another $80/month. Can't wait until the fiber company finally gets around to installing in my neighborhood. That will cut that bill down by 1/2.

"Regular" peas are are still harvested immature only at a later development stage. Fully mature peas are very hard like a dry bean.

Sweet corn contains gene mutations that reduces the sugar to starch conversion in the kernal. So the sugar builds up in the kernal instead. The varieties are classified by the gene or combinations of genes they contain (su, se, or sh2). When the seed is fully mature and dry the seed looks like a raisin because of the lack of starch

The end color the peppers change into is genetically controlled and a wee bit complicated.

However it usually shifts from green to the final color directly.

I was 20 years old absolutely broke, living in a rundown flat in Longsight, Manchester during the gang wars, when my funding for university got fucked up.

He saw me sitting at the bus stop outside his shop looking at few pence I had left in my hand while looking at the food. I had only eaten 1 meal that week and had shed 20lbs that month (I was slightly underweight to start with). Before then I had been there 3-4 times per week.

He came over gave me my normal order only twice the size and said to come back the next day for more. He kept me going for 2 months until I could get some financing straightened out.

My kids who are teens/20 year olds.

"Dad why are you always playing in a tank or a plane on BF?"

Me "Because I am old."

I used to have reaction times like that made other people weep. I was constantly on watchlists for cheating and even banned by a few poor losers in private servers. Those days are well in the past now.

The kitchen, dining and living room being together is pretty normal in smaller places. I have lived in several that were open that way over the years. It's not great but it's doable. The lack of wall space so less cabinets/closets and overall storage is the usual problem.

However the bedroom.... That's a bit too far.

This is what happens when the main tap root is pruned on a carrot. Look up nematode damage on carrots and it looks very similar.

If that carrot was from the grocery store, you'll not be successfull in producing seed without another OP plant. Hybrid carrot seeds are produced using a cytoplasmic male sterility gene. This gene mutation blocks the pollen formation on the plants flowers.

In order to produce viable seed, you need another plant without the CMS gene to produce pollen.

In commercial production they use three lines: male line (OP), Female line (CMS) and the maintainer line (OP). The female line and maintainer line are around 99% genetically identical in the nuclear DNA. They use the maintainer line to cross with the CMS female line to produce more female (CMS) seed. They then cross the female line (CMS) with the male line (OP) to produce hybrid seed for sale. The hybrid is CMS like the female line.

Looks like damage from a probing insect. Something like stinkbug.

Leave it alone and and it will heal up on its own.

Hard to positively identify the species but it's looks a type of winged aphid.

Spray them off with a hose first to clear off the ones your can. If they do have wings you'll need to do some chemical control. I would apply pyrethrin or neem for longer control.

I really need a better picture of just one bug to positively identify it. Try taking a shot at maximum resolution (DPI) and maximum physical zoom.

Slight clarification

A brix meter measures soluable solids in the juice. A major portion of which is sugar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brix

Changes in Brix does not slways correlate exactly with sugar content as other soluable solids are included in reading. Things like carotinoids etc. A little something to pay attention too when comparing varieties.
