My roommate and I used it as a strict seven day reset in 2002. The structure gave us a needed break from dining hall junk.

Oh man, this takes me back. In my experience, plant lovers are passionate, which makes talking to them tricky. I once killed a cactus by overwatering it, so my advice on green things might not be the best. But those big pots are a real pain, like when I tried to get a stroller past a line of ceramic planters. Maybe start by saying you like their plants, then ask if they could move the pots a bit. Your mileage may vary, though, since I'm better at killing plants than growing them.

Did you see that thing about scientists watching glaciers for a hundred years? It shows how some real world changes just crawl along, like your rocks. Margaret_white48, guess that's why most of us lack the patience for this stuff.

Totally! This reminds me of how we handle lots of hidden info every day. Like when a weather map uses colors to show how strong a storm is, you wouldn't call that fake news. It's taking raw data and making it clear for everyone. We do this with medical scans too, turning signals into pictures that save lives. So yeah, dismissing processed space images is like ignoring the useful tools we rely on.
