Description
The succulent plant L. otzeniana forms usually in small groups of 2-5 heads, with each head consisting of a pair of thick leaves.[2] The leaves are olive-green to grey, and have a saw-tooth-edged patch of darker color in the center of each leaf. Flowers are yellow with a white center; they sprout from the center of the two leaves on each head.[3]
gollark: Brains are very adaptable, so perhaps you could just dump data into some neurons in some useful format and hope it learns to decode it.
gollark: I'd be *interested* in brain-computer-interface stuff, but it'll probably be a while before it develops into something useful and the security implications are very ææææaa.
gollark: It's still stupid. If the data is *there*, you can read it, no way around that.
gollark: This is something where you could probably make it actually-secure-ish through asymmetric cryptography, but just using a symmetric algorithm and hoping nobody will ever dump the keys is moronically stupid.
gollark: Indeed.
