Cacti sure look nice but moving them is not my favourite activity. Especially those with bunches of small spines which stick in your skin after merely brushing against them.

I got most of them out but I’ll be feeling the remaining ones until the morning probably 😣

@h5e They’re the prickliest of friends. 🌵

@nicole I am not a good friend to them though 🙁. I’ll be returning them in unfortunately lessened numbers to their favourite person after having to live with me for a year and a half.

@h5e Oh, I feel this. A friend recently suggested that the only species of plant I am fit to tend is “plastic.” 🙃

@nicole I can manage as long as they are near a water source. If a plant in my kitchen is drooping I hold it under the tap and it’s fine. If I have to get a watering can it’s too late. Even for cacti and succulents, because I won’t know it’s too late until it is…

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
