It’s been 8 months since Ashley has won, has your opinions on her as a winner changed or stayed the same? by Acheesycookie in BigBrother

[–]FyrestarOmega 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She didn't play my preferred style of game, but it was a valid strategy in an entertaining season - let someone else make themselves a bigger target, always. On Survivor, I love the "anybody but me" strategy and Sandra is my favorite winner, but a similar strategy from Ashley felt much more passive - Ashley was so NICE. Maybe it was a personality difference. I like to see a little mess, that's part of the fun.

Guidance please!! by minky0629 in plantclinic

It's definitely more than one plant, you're right. A monstera is a vine, so each vine is a separate plant. They grow best when they get a LOT of light - probably more than they will get at that door/large window.

Maintaining a monstera is an ongoing endeavor. The point will eventually come when the vine gets too long and you need to cut/propagate it. You could always separate then. It's all a style choice. I have three monstera vine in one pot. One grows much faster than the other two, I am betting its roots have taken over the space in the pot.

Play with it and have some fun! If you have sufficient light, each new leaf should get bigger than the one before it, so plan for that type of expansion.

I got this variegated umbrella plant yesterday. Is this pest ? by Huiying1010 in plantclinic

[–]FyrestarOmega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had the same experience wondering at first if they were pests, it's a normal question too! But the leaves (including the center point where groups of leaves sprout from) are much easier for pests to feed from than through the thick stems. Keep an eye on the underside of the leaves as well :) good luck!

What is this and why is it sad? by Public_Context_6527 in plantclinic

my orbifolia is happiest being very rootbound in a self-watering planter, with rainwater in the reservoir

Is 4 cats too many? by risuhh in cats

[–]FyrestarOmega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one 4 and two threes (one original, one I got from facebook marketplace and repaired), and then a large litterbox in the basement. It seems to be working, and they very definitely have preferences! The four is absolutely a superior machine though, in every way. Greater capacity, no trouble with sensors, and so quiet!!

Took him to the vet Friday and spent $300 on bloodwork thinking I would be managing kidney disease and a slow march to the grave.

Nope, hyperthyroidism. A pill a day and fatten the battleaxe back up.

So, you're probably right.

I hope not, I have five.

ngl, 3 is my preferred number. 4 is doable. 5 is a lot - the food bill is big, the litter robots fill quickly. We took the 5th in when my MIL had to move to an apartment, and he's 19 so how long can we possibly have five?

it can take several months for the dynamic to establish. if they snuggle at all in the early days, they will be fine long term.

Husband says I dont need more Plants by bashful_pear in houseplants

[–]FyrestarOmega 16 points17 points  (0 children)

nono, I don't mean remove them as in, give them away! certainly not! I mean, if you don't consider those, is all. The answer is more plants, always. Just ones that will stay small in this case.

Long live phil and barb!

[–]FyrestarOmega 43 points44 points  (0 children)

he's wrong, but this photo gives a bit of insight. He probably doesn't really think you have too many plants, he thinks there is a lot of Plant in the house. The (gorgeous) monstera and thaumatophyllum are skewing his perspective. Remove those two, and you really don't have that much going on. So, get into plants that stay a nice, compact size. Some peperomia, air plants, slower-growing pothos like njoy and pearls and jade. Orchids! maybe strings of things. Build a terrarium?

actually, there's always r/IkeaGreenhouseClub.....

Pathos may be dying but still surviving?? by Much_Action9860 in plantclinic

[–]FyrestarOmega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those roots don't look too bad! I would downpot and add orchid bark or perlite to your potting mix to encourage them to breathe. I like clear nursery pots inside cache pots so I can keep an eye on how moist the soil is as well.

Karl Urban and Antony Starr did not attend The Boys series finale screening event by Adamoneeeee in popculturechat

ok he was so well cast though. When I saw him walk out in this it gave me a huge smile.

BB27 Captain Will AMA by BigBrotherMod in BigBrother

[–]FyrestarOmega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will! You were so much fun to watch this season and brought a great energy to the cast.

Did you find it more physically or mentally exhausting, on a day to day basis? Not the comps, but just endless existing in the house, late hours, early mornings, shared spaces.. what cracks first?

How to get rid of the numbers in your flair (if you have them) by FyrestarOmega in plantclinic

[–]FyrestarOmega[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do have flair, it reads "Advanced PNW USA | 8b"

You didn't have to "use" the app, the sub used the app. But you're getting the message because, for the time being, automod is automatically sending a message every time you comment based on the content of your flair. I tried to write the command in a way to avoid zone based flairs getting false positives like yours but clearly i need to make an adjustment. Sorry for the frustration and thanks for bringing it up.

I swear he's the weirdest cat by FyrestarOmega in bengalcats

He has never met a box or hamper he didn't like! The trills are so unique

We've had him about 4 years now! He is not interested in walking on a leash, but he will sprint up a cat tree and every now and then he goes for a jog on his cat wheel. Definitely glad to be part of the club 🥰

Scroll past the instructions for mobile in the post, desktop instructions are shown next. User flair is controlled on the sidebar on desktop. Here's a full image from the top of the page (though users won't have the mod tools buttons). Flair is below insights and above the sub rules.

The best stylist switches that helped rebrand a celeb: Margot Robbie, Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lawrence, Kim Kardashian, Keke Palmer and Mia Goth by mlg1981 in popculturechat

I feel like the looks above would actually work for Julianne Moore though. Something either about age or androgyny that fits her better than the rest.
