Answer is molestation.
As nobody has played the past couple of days I’ll leave one of you to add the solution.

Abusive treatment - molestation
Plant - mole as in spy
Base - station

Easy one tomorrow

^If the right-pond people are complaining, you can imagine how the rest of us feel.
Let's just say fair but cruel. If you can get past plant base = stalk, stem, root... you have a chance, though getting from plant to mole is tough.
If you're ever finished with software, send some of them to British newspapers.

No we don't want them - I'm with you I was thinking stem,stalk etc... would never have thought ( nor have I ever come across mole as plant ) of mole

mostly because it was bass-ackward.
tapping say the left side/arrow should mean fire the left thruster (which would spin you right)
not fire the right thruster to spin left.
1. your eye needs to remain on the target, not where your sight is pointing
2. your POV becomes relative from the target to you
3. you then nudge your sight to the target
#2 having effectively reversed your POV (basic human wiring) tells your brain: push on the left side to make my sight move to the right.
ask any sniper -
1. never take your eye off the target
2. your sight/crosshair is attached to you, (i.e. the end of your barrel), your muscles always know where it is.
... need to move to right: push with your left arm, (never pull with the opposite arm)
pestilence [ pes-tl-uh ns ] noun
1. a deadly or virulent epidemic disease. especially bubonic plague.
2. something that is considered harmful, destructive, or evil.
Synonyms: pest, plague, CCP

Only skill enhanced during lockdown was cooking various international cuisines. But I have major issue with 3 things. All website and chef must standardize the cooking parameters
1. Prep time : doesn't include the time to peel off, clean/cut various vegetable etc . 15 mins prep time means 45 for me 
2. Meal for 2 or 4: It is so misleading. Either I end up cooking for one person or for the whole village and then some.
3. At the end of all cooking vblog, Please show how your kitchen looked like and then it what is the outcome.

'Fond' memories of cooking a rice based dish, 'thats not enough, I'll add some more' I could have fed mainland China for a week with the results! 
|
|
|
|

I did something similar when cooking stew and dumplings, I thought the amount of dumplings I got from the recipe seemed a little on the small side ( I do like my dumplings) so I tripled the dumpling mix.
Big big mistake and it got bigger the longer it cooked.
I try and follow the recipe now rather than making up the proportions on the fly.

|
|
|
|
I know, I think the people who write the recipe might have that sort of experience!

Through university and graduate school, most of my friends were Chinese. Amongst my post important cooking lessons (given indirectly, except eggroll were taught) I learned the most important rule about cooking and ingredients:
What are the ingredients needed for your dish? : Whatever you have on hand, those are them.
This also goes to what you do when you go shopping - local vegetables - no need for anything rare and exotic. It always works out.

I get Hello Fresh every week.
I pick three meals for two so I can cook three times and eat six days 
Also, cooking for one is pretty much impossible because you'll be left with half of each ingredient.
They deliver the ingredients to my door together with the recipes.
super wrote: 15 mins prep time means 45 for me
I've got this same problem!
Maybe a ninja chef cook with razor sharp katanas can cut those onions in < 10 seconds, but it takes me a few minutes at the least.
In the best case it takes me something like 10 minutes longer for 20-30 minutes prep time.
The longer the prep time, the more extra time I need.
So if it says 60 minutes I prepare for 120 (and I avoid those, very few meals are worth that much of my time!) 
I've been doing this for almost two years now and it gets a little better, but not much (60 minutes is cut back to 90 though!).

A meal for two is literally anything between 1.5 and 3 people.

It never looks like the beautifully decorated plate on the picture

I wouldn't know about Germany, but they do operate in the Netherlands 
Most of it isn't very complicated.
I should add that I don't eat fish or meat.
The most complicated stuff I get are oven dishes like lasagna and moussaka, lots of vegetables and stacking.
The moussaka is complicated and takes a good hour to make, but it's worth it though
I recently had one that was a lot of work, cost me around 90 minutes, and I didn't even like it that much.
Can't remember what it was though.
Not sure if I really didn't like it or if I messed up

My family uses Dinnerly. very nice.

Never heard of them.
Looking at their website I'm pretty sure they don't operate outside the USA.
You have to enter a zip code and they don't allow letters.
