  • There are different types of rosemary, and as the other poster said there are differences within one sub-species that can make identification a hazy academic pursuit.

    If you bought rosemary that was labeled as such, you know you have rosemary. The plant you took out, consider it a type of rosemary and leave it at that. If you like the rosemary you had better, you can clone it with a cutting and grow it anew.






  • You learn what you have to and speak what is necessary at the time.

    If you live in an area with a lot of minority language speakers, you should learn that minority language. If you are in a country that doesn’t speak your language, learn the local language as much as possible.

    In the US for example: If you live in Southern Texas, you should know Spanish, but if you live in Fargo you probably don’t need to learn Spanish unless you work in an industry with a lot of native Spanish speakers and knowing Spanish will make things easier for everybody.

    If you are fluent in a second language and you are talking with someone in your primary language, but it is their second language and they aren’t fluent, you should speak their language. Keep in mind that they may be wanting practice and may keep trying to speak their second language, take the hint and follow their lead. If both of you aren’t fluent in each other’s language, both of y’all struggle in both languages as needed to effectively communicate(This is honestly super fun).

    There honestly is a big decision tree for multilingual areas like borders.


  • The weight of the water compresses a balloon on earth.

    In space, since everything is falling together, the balloon wouldn’t compress, it would expand because the atmosphere and water isn’t compressing it. The surface tension of the water would allow it to envelop the balloon, so long as there is enough water to allow it to do so, otherwise it would want to gather into a spheroid because there aren’t enough large surface defects on a balloon to “hold” the water. If the surface of the balloon was covered in sand glued to it, just enough water would film across the surface of the balloon.

    Water gathering on a rough surface means you could drown in space if you had a drinking tube leak into your helmet and you couldn’t drink the water fast enough to breathe.

    You should bleed the brakes, because brake fluid absorbs water over time and goes bad.

    There are a few ways to do it by yourself, but the first step is making sure all 4 bleeders open and aren’t seized.

    Edit: Brake fluid should be replaced every 2 years or 20,000 miles. Brake pads need replacement every 20,000 to 40,000 miles. Average driver in the US goes 14k miles a year. Bleed your brakes until the fluid is clear when you replace brakes, even if the caliper wasn’t replaced.


  • Joy in giving rejection - enjoying power over the situation and pleasure in rejecting their wants. It can also be relief due to the fear of intimacy or vulnerability brought by closeness. You may enjoy being a Dom in consensual control of your partner to a variable degree.

    Sabotage of relationships - this can be more complex. This can be fear of being hurt because the people closest to you can hurt you the most or feelings of inadequacy because you snowball feelings of inadequacy with feelings of being a bad friend. Your social needs may be low, but higher than you have and that leaves you disappointed and wanting more.

    Talk to a therapist. There are some things you need to work on, your willingness to anonymously ask these questions about yourself is a positive step in the right direction, but it would take very long discussions with an experienced council to navigate your history to find out what is the root problem to address in order for you to be happy with who you are and your relationships with others. I know a therapist is a stranger that you need to be the most vulnerable with and that is scary, but you need to resist the urge to run, they don’t need to actually matter to you but they can help you find the version of yourself that has people that matter to you without pushing them away. Understand them as meaningful to you as strangers on the internet and giving them the vulnerability you need to give them in order to make progress will be easier. Start with discussing how you feel about being vulnerable with them and your relationship with them as a therapist.
