  • Same.

    For orchids give them some nice roomy medium, I read once about a wiffle ball technique where you put a wiffle ball underneath the stem to ensure airflow at the roots. I don’t have any wiffle balls whenever I’ve repotted, so I usually just do a bark “core” and then a slim wrap around the roots with wet sphagnam moss, and fill in any extra room in the pot with more bark. I soak the orchids in water to the base of their leaves like once every two weeks for 15 minutes in lukewarm to warm water, and put a tiny bit of orchid fertilizer in the mix every few months or so. I put them somewhere that is warm with a lot of indirect light. My oldest ones are I think 5 now, so it’s been working alright for me. I’ve also stopped trying to make them be upright because they naturally lean over, so I just put them however they look comfortable in the pot.

    We had a backwards compatible ps3 and I was incredibly sad when I discovered I couldn’t play Um Jammer Lammy on it, something in the software fucked up the timing and you just couldn’t press the buttons at the correct time and it sucked

    We gave away the ps3 at some point but I still have Um Jammer Lammy. I’ve considered buying a ps2 for it but haven’t bothered so far. The disc is probably in horrible shape by now anyway, it’s just semi sentimental so I keep it.


  • I can’t visualize nearly at all and when I was younger I would devour a novel daily. I have ADHD and a strong internal monologue.

    I don’t read books very often now and I think the reason for this is that my need is somewhat met (and maybe partially overwhelmed) by reading things online, unfortunately the majority of the things I read online are lower quality and creativity than a book would be.




  • Habanero lime is sooo good. The jjajang and the cream carbonara are also great.

    I think a lot of people cook them wrong though and maybe that’s why they don’t think they taste good. It’s really important that you add the 1/4 cup water (remain 8 tbsp!) with the sauce packet at the end and then stir fry it until it’s thick again, this usually takes me about 2 or 3 extra minutes on med-high.

    Sometimes I add cream cheese and a little mozzarella to the black packet, and/or a single egg near the end.



  • I get a lot of joint pain from specific or repetitive movements (especially in my hands) and these are just slightly too stiff and in a hard enough to press place that using them for more than very occasional use will hurt. I bought some rubber things that make them a bit easier to press, but they still are difficult for me.

    They ask you about periods at every single visit for any reason. Have migraines? When was your last period?Twisted your ankle? When was your last period? Think there is a bug in your ear? When was your last period?

    There is no avoiding this question as a period aged woman.


  • Hey if you’re on hormonal birth control I think you can just tell them you use the method that gets rid of periods (not taking the placebo week and just continuing with the hormone pills, this is safe if you also just don’t want to have periods link)

    I have an iud and besides a short time after having one removed to get pregnant with my daughter haven’t had my period in uh, 9 years? I just tell them I don’t have a period and haven’t in years and they accept that readily





  • I just tested how I told because I wasnt sure

    I grab two corners along the long edge and pinch with one hand, and slide my other hand along the length until it’s tight in the middle, then I just meet that to the corners in my other hand, then turn it to the side and fold in half

    No chin


  • Epic isn’t able to compete because their launcher is missing major simple features like reviews.

    I don’t want multiple extra steps when I’m interested in a game. Steam has a big market share because they are giving people what they want in a launcher. That’s it.

    Epic can put in the effort if they want but it’s already been like 2 years and as far as i can tell hasn’t really been updated with anything new, I use it for the free games sometimes but otherwise not really. That would only change if they make the launcher more attractive.
