The plant will adapt in time. Monsteras are tough but a bit dramatic at times.
I forgot mine outside when I lived in an area that seldom frosted. It frosted hard (22F). I thought I had lost it. It came back from one little piece of stem.
Just call it the diva it is and let it grow out of it.
My wife’s Pomeranian.
All cuddles until you piss him off by going somewhere without him. Then your shoe is chewed up and in the middle of the backyard.
I caught him heading for the koi pond with one the other day. Little shit…
With a smaller plant you definitely do not want to remove heathy leaves. In general never remove more than 10% of the leaf area at any one time. If the newer leaves are smaller then the spot you have it is definitely too dark.
And to answer your original question, “Why is plant knowledge voodoo?”.
There literally hundreds of thousands of plant species. Each of those species is adapted to different environmental conditions. The requirements the species need are further modified by its interactions with micro-orgsnisms. So the answer to most questions about growing them requires an significant depth of theoretical and practical knowledge on the subject.
A large portion of humans quickly revert to mythology when any topic becomes slightly complicated.
If it’s putting out new leaves it’s using fertilizer to grow. It doesn’t matter what time of year it is. If it’s indoors, seasons don’t really matter except for light levels. When to fertilize also depends on the type of fertilizer and the needs of the plant. In general it’s best to use slow release fertilizer (less chance of over doing it). The best time for that is the spring but 2 doses might be needed. If using liquid, a 1/4-1/8th dose amount with every watering is better.
Monsteras are very dramatic when they run out of nitrogen. They turn a bottom leave bright yellow in a day or two. If you catch it early enough and give them some fertilizer you can save th leaf.
As for light, 3-4 hours in the spring or fall. In nature monsteras are tree climbers. In low light conditions they grow toward the darker patches hoping to find a tree trunk. Then they climb up until they get enough light then produce giant leaves and fruit.
Please do not cut off the leaf. Removing a leaf before it is completely brown inhibits it’s growth. Plants relocate mobile nutrients from older/dying leaves to newer ones. Be patient and let the plant do its thing.
Browning in the middle of the variegation is usually due to a drastic change in light. This causes what is essentially a sunburn.
A few tricks from way to many decades growing them. They like direct morning or evening sunlight for 3-4 hours. Watering - completely saturated the pot then allow it to dry out (I water mine only once a month or two). Fertilizer - they do best with a fertilizer with a 3:1:2 NPK ratio. You can give them a bit extra K when they are putting out a new leaf.
Do not move the plant if possible. Rotating them is a great way to mess them up and get sunburn.
Layoffs are common very large companies because of how they operate.
Although they start as innovative companies once they hit a certain size threshold internal inertia prevents any significant innovation.
In order to maintain growth they must buy smaller innovative companies and capitalize on the innovation using their vaster resources.
After they have sucked every last bit of money the purchased innovation, they layoff employees they purchase with the innovative company and all those they added in its ramp up.
They then go on the hunt to purchase the next smaller innovative company.
Mega corporations are a parasite on the economy.
This was especially true with the old metal based fillings (gold, silver, etc). The metal contracts and expands a miniscule amount with heat and cold. Eventually they end up cracking the tooth. The larger the filling, the worse it is.
I am on crown #5 because of that asshole dentist when I was 23. Oh and a nice plus is they were extremely sensitive to temperature and randomly hurt like hell. At $1000 per crown it’s not fun on the pocket book.
I think that the data Ukraine has on Russian losses is better than in any previous conflict. The drones are constantly flying over the battlefield recording.
I also think that Ukraine has significant political reasons for attempting to be reasonably accurate. They rely on NATO for money, weapons, and supplies. They need to provide an reasonably accurate representation of what they are doing with the resources to keep their suppliers happy.
It doesn’t need to be exact, just a reasonable estimate made in good faith.

I upgraded from Windows XP to Vista after the 2nd servicepack fixed most of the shit. By that point it was a tolerable OS.
I am currently hoping for a major service pack next year to fix all the stupid shit they did in Windows 11.
You know kind of like when they fucked up windows 8, attempted a quick fix in 8.1 and finally fixed it in win10.
Of course they are at 4 major updates with win11 and it’s still shit so the hope is very thin.
My first Linux installation was with Xubunto put it on a old win98 laptop and used it as a gaming server. Must have been around '06
My first regular Unbunto install was 8.04 onto WinME desktop. I put it on a children’s desk and chair that I had built for my 4 year old older son. It was mainly used for PBSkids and some educational games.
If the women from 13 get involved, 13.
They will be using readily available objects as weapons however.
If made from ash those spears would have been under 10lbs.
Also the spear tips were probably not that heavy. 5" long made from iron and diamond shaped to pierce armor.
They have found metal butt ends for them to counteract weight of the spear tip. If they counterbalanced the spear correctly it would take very little effort to hold it in position.
Public indecency in front of a group of police officers was goto for many homeless people in my state. It’s a minor crime with up to 90 days in jail.
Flash th cops in late November, get out in early March.
Much safer than trying to live on the streets over the winter.

This type of lawsuit is why the billionaire bro’s are backing the senile rapist and felon. Making them play somewhat fair ruins their business plan.
Islam started with the rulers being the head of the church. Not as a completely separate entity adopted by the rulers like Christianity. Most of Islamic traditions in the Hadith is traced back (with very little supporting evidence) to the original founders. The Hadith was the “oral tradition” of what Mohamed said written down a century or two after his death by “scholars” who totally were not fully funded and directed in any way by the rulers.
The Hadith has everything from religious practices to economic laws. These laws amazingly create social classes of elites and everyone else. The elites control the state, military, and religion completely. The non-elites are essentially banned from any legal economic engagement other than worker for an elite. This has created extreme social inequality in most Islamic states today.
Why google became the dominate search engine in the first place was because every other search engine was an ad infested nightmare fuel.
There is a limit of shit that people will put up with. Google is pushing that limit hard right now. Which is why I no longer use it.
