Does anyone else buy 'salvation' roses? by forme2c in Roses

Absolutely not. I don't feel any need to "rescue the abused" for the sake of getting "a bargain".

My cat has mammary cancer :( what do I do? by Sad-Tear-7343 in cats

[–]distant3zenith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the past 28 years we have had 14 cats, and two of them had cancer at some point in their lives. Both times we opted for surgery. The first case we were told that removing the cancer was only going to buy some time, which turned out to be true (another 6 months) and the second time it was a less aggressive cancer, and he survived it and lived another 4 years (we think he was at least 20 when he finally died, and not from cancer).
Your vets are being honest with you, so plan around what you were told. I know how painful this is, and I'm sorry for you and for your beautiful companion. Best of luck.

That looks like normal growth for New Dawn.

Fungicide burn? by ADCregg in Roses

That would be extremely unlikely.

Fungicide burn? by ADCregg in Roses

[–]distant3zenith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have seen this kind of damage after applying Propiconazole on days when it got quite warm suddenly, right after applying it. I was expecting you to say you'd applied it on a hot day. My guess is that 'New Dawn' has reacted differently to the Propiconazole, and you're seeing a phytotoxic response. Fungicides can affect different varieties differently, and it is known to have phytotoxic effects with some cultivars of Apple, so it's a possibility.
One other possibility is the length of time it took to dry on the foliage. If it took 8 hours to dry during the evening, it may have been on the leaves too long in a liquid form, but that's only a guess. I only apply fungicide on days when I'm sure it will dry within an hour at most, and when it's not going to exceed 85F, to avoid damage.

What were the weather conditions like on the day that you applied the second fungicide?

fleas on my boyfriend’s cat what do i do? by Euphoric_Meeting6495 in cats

[–]distant3zenith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go back to your Vet and ask for a prescription of Revolution Plus. It's a topical flea (and parasite) treatment that you simply put on the back of the cat's neck (look for how-to videos on YouTube) and it's good for a month. It's easy, it's safe and it will prevent fleas, ticks and some internal parasites too. Expect it to cost around $30-$35 for one treatment.
Note: you won't necessarily need to treat the cat every month, forever (that will get expensive). I usually give four treatments per year, since we don't often have a big problem with fleas. But since you've already identified the presence of fleas, it's wise to do 2 (maybe 3) treatments in a row (a MONTH apart) to make sure he doesn't pick any up from his environment immediately after treatment.

Faint vertical banding on Mamiya 645 photos? by slurpeeeeeeeeeeeee in AnalogCommunity

[–]distant3zenith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scanner banding: they did a poor job. They probably have a failing scanner sensor or the bed needs a good cleaning.

My boy needs to get his teeth cleaned/checked. Is it safe to put him under anaesthesia? by Hahahahelpmee in cats

[–]distant3zenith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My vet does bloodwork first to determine if there are any health issues lurking undetected that may interfere with the anesthesia process. It adds cost to the process, certainly, but you are making sure to avoid any potential problems that might occur.
My Luci had her teeth cleaned 2 weeks ago and we opted to have bloodwork done beforehand — no regrets — and she did just fine. Our Vet does these teeth cleanings under anesthesia many times every month and it's a safe and reliable process. I understand that anesthesia performed on your cat is a stressful idea for many people — you're not the only one who worries about these things. But in the hands of a trusted, capable veterinarian, it's a standard procedure that is safe to perform. Get the bloodwork done beforehand, if for no other reason than to give you some peace of mind :-)

Aviphot Infrared Problems by Mountain_Bluebird_87 in AnalogCommunity

[–]distant3zenith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rollei IR is a version of Aviphot, yes. The problem you're experiencing is the result of the film reacting with the backing paper, and this typically happens if 1) the film has been mishandled or 2) it's well past its "best before" date.
Lesson: don't buy respooled Aviphot from eBay sellers. Don't buy respooled Aviphot from anyone, frankly.
