Financially, you can save money per year on electricity, but it means you’d have to pay an upfront for installation. Which probably maths out as a very long term investment that companies hate.

Your bug sounds pretty strong, can I fight it?

a nice 140 usd discount sounds like a decent incentive

Haha sorry if it came off weird, I just like nerding on science

Venus fly traps evolved in this specific manner as a result of their environment. They are native to nutrient deficient bogs. They can still perform photosynthesis to create sugars, but that’s just one of many things they need. Cellular activities require things like nitrogen, phosphorus, and some trace elements which are not present in the soil they live in. Venus fly traps get around this by digesting insects for these nutrients. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have the nutrients to sustain cell growth and maintenance.

The fact that they evolved like this also means that they aren’t evolved to live in nutrient rich soil. All venus fly traps guide say to not put them in regular soil for good reason. Plants don’t understand overnutrition, which means that their roots try to take whatever they can. Excessive nutrients usually end up causing death as the chemical imbalance messes up with cellular activities. Venus fly traps are just much more sensitive to this than other plants.

Gotta look at the right places and be patient

I went to an estate sale and got a bunch of freebies

I also picked up folding mattresses for 10 usd when a new one is 60 ish

My pc is a secondhand for about 600 or so when the parts itself are 1.2k new

Buying secondhand is not the same as just walking into a store and finding what you need at a fixed price.

Sure it’s harder especially for certain things (mostly hobbyist stuff and fashion) but TVs are not hard to find for a reasonable price.

Does anyone else’s search on lemmy actually work as expected? I feel like it never finds anything really relevant. I can search for audio interfaces for example and all the first results are about software in general and not actually the hardware component.
