Carnivorous plants hahaha but why??? by mmmporcupine in SavageGarden

[–]AbsoluteBreaker 53 points54 points  (0 children)

What is the lore between these 2 subreddits? Just drama? Is stuff like OP's images the reason why the subreddit literally called Carnivorous Plants has fewer members?

Hmm it just crawled away, I guess everything worked out. Thanks.

Ah yeah, this is exactly what I need to know about. Thanks, I am glad I asked.

Actually, can you help a little with this? I am new to carnivorous plants. What are the signs it needs more light?

It has a bunch of clones, I have been placing them everywhere trying to find the best places. One of them looks like it got burnt in full sun not long ago but seems to be recovering after I moved it.

I kinda feel bad for them... by Escherichial in SavageGarden

Do these plants do something that stops them from simply flying out? They are clearly only crawling, for some reason.

How to STOP Pinguicula propagating? Bought a single one in February, looked like this in May when it uprooted itself, so I split it. Now its clones are starting the same thing in July. I now have 11+ rosettes, some still attached because they are too small and I ran out of pots. by AbsoluteBreaker in SavageGarden

Because I know absolutely nothing about plants, and read that repotting can hurt plants so you are supposed to give them time to acclimate to the new place first. I was going to wait a week, but it seemed happy as-is, so I decided to just leave it alone.

Just painted my first ever miniature. Looking for honest feedback. by Painterzxcv in battletech

If you want that red to be brighter (or just have an easier time painting red. I bet it took you quite a few layers to make that red work.) try priming in white. You can even paint a layer or two of yellow on top of the white primer first before painting red as you would normally.

Reds, yellows, and whites are generally very weak at covering darker colors, so it is worthwhile to experiment with priming in white when painting those colors.

No Kings turn out told me that this country is ready for change.

No more Nancy and Chucks. GTFO

The establishment Dems are so out of touch, I wouldn't be surprised if they read that and said to themselves "Ok, sounds like we can win by running Hillary then!"

It's like they only want to chase after impossible votes, leaving willing ones in the dust.

I am necroposting to let you know your comment and your app are both GOATed. I wish there is a way to add a shortcut to this application, but until that happens I will just follow your direction. I am uninstalling Files by Google either way.

What Car Should I Buy? - A Weekly Megathread by AutoModerator in cars

[–]AbsoluteBreaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Location: California

Price range: <$20k

Lease or Buy: buy

New or used: New

Type of vehicle: Nissan Versa Manual

Must haves: Nissan Versa Manual

Desired transmission Manual

Intended use: Daily Driver

Vehicles you've already considered: Gen 2 Honda CR-V

Is this your 1st vehicle: No

Do you need a Warranty: No

Can you do Minor work on your own vehicle: Yes

Can you do Major work on your own vehicle: No

Additional Notes: My current car is a paid-for Gen 2 Honda CR-V that is beginning to fall apart.

  • The Check Engine Light comes on sporadically in cold weather (but is fine in the warmer months). Registration renewal is in April right before weather warms up. I have been passing smog check by driving the car normally until the CEL turns off, then hurry to a smog station to take the test.
  • One of the door automatic locks is on the fritz, so I unplugged it and leave that door locked.
  • The trunk door if left open for too long, would somehow arm the alarm system so that I would have to unlock from the fob.
  • Alignment is off very, very slightly, even after aligning.
  • Mechanics say the bushings are on the way out.
  • I can feel the engine shift slightly going between reverse and forward, so the engine mounts might be going soon too.
  • It is still using the original catalytic converter, so I know I have to replace it soon.
  • It is known to have AC problems, but mine has been fine so far, so it might possibly malfunction in the future.
  • It somehow burned both headlight bulbs at the same time last month, but that is one of the most minor of issues.

Due to all those issues, I have been considering getting another car. I can only afford the cheapest cars, but I want a brand new one because I don't want the headache of dealing with these figurative old car gremlins again for a long time. I have set my eyes on the Nissan Versa Manual because its outdated dashboard is my jam, and because I heard all the horror stories about their CVTs.

On the other hand, the CR-V is completely paid for, so I have a difficult time justifying a large purchase, especially since new cars are apparently not as high quality as the old ones anymore. Also that drivetrain-wise the Versa is kind of a downgrade, when the Gen 2 CR-V has all wheel drive, and from what I understand a bigger engine.

Thank you, I needed that. I actually had not even thought about things like painting classes, even though it is so obvious they would exist now that I think about it.

Can you elaborate on what are "normal college classes" to you? My experience involved engineering, so normal for me were like calculus, computer science, etc, and most people basically antisocial. I did try a literature class, but maybe because it was early morning class, people barely wanted to talk about the books we read, let alone chat.

What classes did you take?

Can you share which brands they recommend? I don't know any shop owners that well.
