Love Chat Pile! Actually saw them on Saturday night in Chattanooga, on their new tour with Portrayal of Guilt. They always put on a fantastic show.

Blue and red are the biggest drivers for photosynthesis, but other wavelengths have effects on the plants as well. For example, far red light (infrared) has a huge influence on flowering and stem elongation in many plants. They really rely on light for a lot of cues for regulation.

Not a Steve Guttenberg fan? He's fine in High Spirits, and hard to avoid in the 80s!

Dead alive is such an amazing movie.

It's the horror movie season. What is your favorite horror movie genre, and what do you consider to be the absolute best example of that horror genre? in c/[email protected]

I love horror comedies [Killer Klowns from Outer Space

](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0095444/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk) is a classic and a must see.

Fun fact: the Chiodo brothers did the creature effects for both KKfOS and [Ernest Scared Stupid

](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0101821/) They even refused some of the costumes in Ernest: Killer Klowns into trolls! Such a good movie.

My final rant will be about Sir Peter Jackson's earlier work. Dead Alive (aka Braindead) is a movie from 1992 that absolutely blew me away. It is also streaming free on YouTube! It has some of the most fun/disgusting practical effects I have ever seen. What a wild ride. Would recommend to anyone who can find body horror amusing. 10/10

Was about to say "nothing looks different here"

Any idea what this is? Seek says it's in the genus Erythroxylum, but it can't get any more specific than that. in c/[email protected]

It's definitely not a Reynosia, they have opposite leaf arrangements while your plant has an alternate leaf arrangement. Good luck!
