Any peeps of a fishy persuasion? Looking for a three way valve for 4mm tubing, but water, not air. Anyone attest to water carriage of air direction valves?

Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Made it to the end of Presumed Innocent, the TV adaptation. What a inconsistent show with stupid legal loopholes and soapy writing. It is incredibly unbelievable that the main character could've been a successful prosecutor. Also I hate basically every character in this but not even in a love-to-hate way like Succession. I think I cared more about the cat.
Even Jake Gyllenhaal's perfect butt wasn't enough to save this mediocrity, but somehow it's been renewed for a second season...
I hated the series. It was boring, seemed to be written by a committee ticking off trope boxes.
Just watch the awesome movie with Harrison Ford.
Movie Review. The Old Oak. Ken Loach. Syrian refugees come to live in a dying North England mining town, locals react, some with kindness and charity, others with misplaced anger.
It's a Ken Loach fillum innit.
It's not entertaining. It's art. It's about present day issues and challenges facing everyday Britons and New Britons/war refugees . It's respectful and understanding of working class people. Never talks down.
It's not a fun or happy or exciting experience to watch a Ken Loach movie but I find myself thinking about the scenes and people in his movies, sometimes even years later.
Watching his movies enriches my life and understanding of people .

Oh. Well apparently I've been overwatering my indoor plants. I felt bad for letting them get all dehydrated while I was away, so I tried to make up for it with some extra water. Now the soil has a rotten egg smell. I google "why TF does my plant dirt smell like rotten eggs???" Google tells me that happens when the plant is over watered and becomes waterlogged. I'm a bad plant parent
Don't beat yourself up! It's a very, very common thing to overwater indoor plants, especially over winter. I've done it myself because some plants really need a lot less than others.
Many people see them drooping and think they need more water but drooping can also be a sign of overwatering. If your plants haven't started growing brown and mushy, there's hope! Just leave them alone for a solid week or two to dry out and they might come back yet.
It's a good thing that you care for living things and want to keep them alive rather than neglect them, that's what makes a good plant parent :) and now you're learning!
