Sure, but not to the point in which it’s a constant stress.

We’ve already established that. But that method will shorten the life of the plant (and human.)

You’re right, I should have written “No, it isn’t.” Fixed.

So, no, it isn’t the response the author was looking for.

Weird to hear of people who has never heard of BoingBoing.

Is it about people eating light?

Bacteria already release stress chemicals when their food is lacking, so…

No, it doesn’t.

No, it isn’t.

It could be. Although we don’t know how much those sounds indicate distress, and perhaps watering should happen much sooner.

Imagine if aliens abduct you and give you food only when your stomach makes the kind of noise it makes after three days without eating anything, because “that’s all they can detect.”

That idea is mentioned in the article, yes.

Edit: apologies. The OP has already pointed this out.

Amen, brother!

That is correct.

Since the dawn of the internet it is known that “I agree!” comments don’t add anything to the discussion. If you don’t want to learn something new, then, as your teacher, I can’t do much, son.

Writing just “this” adds nothing to the discussion.

I’m a graybeard software engineer with 30+ years of experience.

I appreciated your explanation.

Lol, that was funny! I know I’m being pedantic. I usually make those observations just to scratch an itch. The itch was a bit stronger than usual with this one because it’s a journalistic video. That’s all.

The video has a typo. It uses “it’s” instead of “its”.

I don’t know, man. To me that’s still speculation. But did say you were guessing, so that’s okay. I just thought that you had a clear indicator of mental issues.

It could very well be that someone started stalking him, or sending him death threats, and he simply said “yeah, fuck this.”

Or that he started the project to get some groupie ass, then got ass, then he was done with it all.

Or he got bored and moved on to the next interesting thing.

Why are you guessing the mental issues part? Has the admin given any indications of that in the past?

Because, it sounds to me, that if he was running a free service on his free time because he felt like it, then he doesn’t owe anybody anything. He can simply vanish for the simple reason that he got bored, and that should be enough.

Shucks.

Or even trim it.
