<0> what is provigil?
<1> my wife used to take something like provigil
<1> probably the generic
<1> it's for sleep apnea, no?
<2> it's for keeping awake too
<0> Coca-Cola uses the sugar plant in Coke in Israel
<2> kind of like caffeine, but without the jitters
<0> cool
<0> I cant take caffeine
<3> so.. it's cocaine
<3> native to south america.. you sure it isn't the coca plant?
<0> hehe no way
<0> i will tell u the botanical name
<2> is there another name for it?
<3> oh wait, different plants
<0> Stevia Rebaudiana
<3> stevia.. isn't that splenda?
<0> this plant is licensed and been used for decades in Israel, China, Japan, South American countries and elsewhere
<2> sugarleaf
<0> yes
<0> but why not USA and EU eh
<0> sugar corps are blocking it
<3> doesn't appear to be allowed in AU/NZ either
<2> says here it's available in the US as a health food supplement
<4> the C&H cartel!
<2> so you can get it at a health food store
<0> really?
<2> well, wikipedia says
<2> =)
<0> i havent seen it forsale here as a supplement
<5> Ahh. clean at last.
<3> "Ground stevia leaf is a dark green, fibrous powder whose colour and disagreeable flavour is extremely hard to mask. Although a natural herb, stevia has historical use as a male contraceptive in Paraguay.4 Some studies on animals suggest it compromises *** hormone function.5 While it does not elevate blood sugar, stevia and its extract stevioside both stimulate insulin, which can affect weight gain and overall wellbeing.
<0> I have some growing
<3> I only grow chiles
<6> hey all
<0> its fairly hardy plant and germinates quickly from seed
<3> chiles grow well in the tropics
<6> looking to create a perl script to take a stream and compress it and send it along
<0> whats the hottest chilli
<6> wihtout blocking
<7> chillies are a good contraceptive if you use them 'correctly'.
<6> any pointers?
<0> I'm growing peppers
<3> the red savina habareno is the hottest
<0> peppers are related to chilli's same family
<4> me too, but my peppers hate me :|
<3> twice as hot as the normal habanero
<0> :(
<2> I suppose if you have the right size and shape of pepper you could use it like a condom
<8> dsteinbrunner: compress it using what?
<0> haha
<4> then again, I've never been able to keep a plant green for more than a week, so the fact that they're even still alive is probably a good sign.
<8> dsteinbrunner: send it to the network?
<6> sending data over the network, yes
<0> tomato plants are good choice
<0> a strange plant started growing on my balcony garden and i searched and searched to find out what it was
<6> compression just needs to be something that is standard and quick to inflate and deflate
<0> it looked like a potato plant, but also a tomato plant, with green fruits hanging tomato-like
<0> turned out to be black nightshade, a deadly toxic plant
<3> hehe
<0> :D
<3> I don't have anything that deadly
<9> perlmonkey, nightshade tomatoes and potatoes are all the same family
<3> just regular orange habaneros
<2> tomatoes and potatoes are in the nightshade family I think
<10> so which neighbor snuck onto your balcony to leave poison plants behind?
<0> strangely, the snails prefer to eat this plant to any of my crops, so i keep it growing for them
<0> Teratogen: true
<0> vorsprung: so in theory you can eat the nightshade berries from black nightshade when its fully ripe?
<0> if you dont mind risking coma and possible death
<0> how can snails eat a toxic plant and not die or get ill? any ideas?
<3> what is toxic to humans isn't necessarily toxic to other species
<0> but the black nightshade is toxic to all mammals
<9> snails can't eat salt
<0> ahh yes
<4> perlmonkey: how did black nightshade spontaneously grow in a balcony garden?
<11> vorsprung: sure they can. they just die for it!
<3> perlmonkey: snails aren't mammals
<0> salt kills snails somehow
<4> reverse osmosis
<12> no, just osmosis :)
<0> infi: thats a good question, you know I think the birds brought the seed here
<2> infi: like any weed I suppose
<4> but balcony gardens are fairly contained ecosystems
<0> ive studied the toxic substance in black nightshade
<2> there's a wicked plant from South America that is invading Florida and other southern states
<13> isn't nightshade a cousin of the patato?
<2> I think it's called the soda apple
<4> got enough to worry about eating fugu and whatnot. heh
<2> has absolutely no use except that cattle like to eat it
<2> and spread its seeds in their dung
<0> infi: you should be safe, the black and deadly nightshade are easy to identify, the fruits are very small
<4> Teratogen: Are you suggesting that cows deposited soda apple seeds on his balcony?
<4> heh
<2> soda apple is a weed
<0> haha
<2> pure weed
<4> "Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?"
<0> I live on the 2nd floor
<3> a 'weed' is any plant that is undesireable
<4> "It's a simple matter of air-weight ratio!"
<0> the only explanation is that birds brought the seed
<2> no I was just illustrating one way that weeds can be distributed
<4> perlmonkey: yeah, I've seen nightshade berries, I'm just being silly.
<3> sometimes desireable plants eventually become weeds because nobody likes 'em anymore
<0> because at that time I was using compost from a store, and I doubt it had any seeds in it
<14> re
<0> infi: did you ever eat any?
<4> nah
<14> DO it
<3> god made digitalis, so digitalis don't hurt
<2> ah yes, the tropical soda apple
<3> or something
<2> has absolutely no redeeming qualities
<0> its strange how some plants in nature develop this toxic substance at a certain stage in their lifecycle to prevent mammals from eating them
<0> its a bit overkill is it not
<4> perlmonkey: I had lots of poison plants around my house when I was growing up, and did a lot of wilderness trekking and training, I learned to identify many different poisonous plants, plus I had some scare a couple of years ago and did research and found that potatoes, tomatoes and nightshade were all related.
<0> really isnt chilli the same tho? who would eat such hot fruits, only crazy humans?
<4> the soil they sell in stores over here is really clean, I doubt I'll have a problem
<3> chiles are actually beneficial to humans
<15> perlmonkey, I like chilli
<3> they aid digestion
<4> mmm, capsicum
<2> here's a pdf: Tropical Soda Apple: The Plant From Hell
<15> also like chicken vindaloo
<2> *laff*
<3> and counter acid reflux!
<4> heh
<0> infi: what do you grow now on your balcony besides tomatoes?
<3> chile, the great antacid!
<16> nudity http://kjfauto.multiply.com/video/item/228
<4> 4 different kinds of tomatoes, my wife grows a couple of herbs, and I'm trying orange and red bell peppers
<16> is that real?
<17> perlmonkey: Diatery Masochism
<0> phew
<4> the bell peppers are just stagnant, though. however, just today they removed the scaffolding from around my building after 4 months, so maybe they'll actually get more sunshine now.
<3> xah: eh.. no?
<17> *Dietery
<0> hehe
<16> Kulrak: no?
<0> peppers need a lot of sunshine eh
<4> so I've read
<3> xah: no
<16> photoshop job?
<3> it's a pretty good photoshop job tho
<0> I have a squirrel that regularly comes to my balcony for nuts, at first it was fun, but now he's digging up my seedlings which isnt so much fun
<0> ive had to put down mesh
<17> When did they change the topic for #perl? Didn't it use to say somthing about this not being about perl...
<4> perlmonkey: hook up an web-controlled shotgun
