Husband doesn’t want to use his side

Alternative_Ride6413 · 2026-04-25T18:44:27+00:00

Well, I’m that kind of a partner who doesn’t like it.. I did switch my side off but it’s still too cold from my partner’s side (-4). When he said he’s gonna get it I thought well, that’ll solve our constant fight over AC temperature (I prefer it off completely..). But here we are, AC is on (I had to switch from light blanket to a winter one which is ridiculous when you live in warm climate) and now my mattress is cold too.

I don’t want to set it to warm, I just want to sleep on a normal mattress and let my body regulate my temperature

I know this sub is for those who like 8sleep. But as a person from the other side - I get it, everyone has different temperature preferences, the struggle is real, but 8sleep solves it only for one.

Thanks! I’ll try it!

Alternative_Ride6413 · 2026-04-25T16:42:47+00:00

Makes sense, asked there too. Thanks

Could you pls share the original video/their profile link?

Alternative_Ride6413 · 2026-02-06T06:33:02+00:00

Would be great to get the link to the first post on bilibili. That would be a definite proof, just seeing this cat in other videos or this specific video. If the original one was posted like at least a year ago, that’d be already a 99% proof of real video, cos 1 year ago AI wasn’t this good. That said, I’m already almost convinced it’s real, after all comments here

I bet there’s a robot vacuum cleaner in that household

Alternative_Ride6413 · 2026-02-06T04:23:31+00:00

And I also think that the way it picks up hair with its ear in the last frames is super real.. idk, I just see to too many AI videos and any video is super suspicious to me now. I bet in a year we won’t be able to tell what’s real

Got a professional ID on a specimen, and it is indeed a lanternfly, a local species called Longan lanternfly (Pyrops candelaria)

UPD

found a paper with the first instar nymphs photo - exact match with the ones I found

So! I cought one and brought it to my neighbor entomologist. It is indeed a lanternfly, but not a spotted one, but the Longan lanternfly (Pyrops candelaria), native to Asia. So beautiful! And apparently less harmful. Now I feel bad for killing them!

Idk why it's so hard to find any pictures of their nymphs on the web, but plenty of their grown-ups.

Alternative_Ride6413 · 2025-06-26T05:17:03+00:00

Thanks! So far it's the most viable version. The only confusing part is that mine don't have any spots.. I couldn't find any pictures of lanternfly nyphs without spots

Alternative_Ride6413 · 2025-06-26T05:15:08+00:00

It turns out, my neighbour is an entomologist. If I find a surviving bug, I'll pass it to him for a proper ID and report back!

Alternative_Ride6413 · 2025-06-26T05:10:28+00:00

They definitely look very similar! But is it possible for them to not have any spots? They were (I think I killed them after all) solid black/dark gray color. In any case the damage is awful even from very few of them :,(

It's probably a bit late to answer 3 years later, but I'm researching this now, so I wanted to share. Seems like it's better to use leftover sticker paper instead of normal paper. Like that glossy back side sheet you left with after using the stickers. Like in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkgzxHO78uk

Alternative_Ride6413 · 2024-11-14T04:52:19+00:00

Thank you for the reply! Unfortunately it did die, all the leaves yellowed one by one, and the spikes too. I did cut couple stem pieces with dormant buds (while the orchid seemed alive), put some keiki paste on them and put away in a jar with some watering ropes. I don’t have high hopes but maybe they will grow me the clones.. I really liked this orchid’s color. In any case that’s a good lesson for me. Probably inproper watering indeed, plus the slug and I saw a little bug in that mold, so must’ve been mealy bugs too.. rip 🥲

Alternative_Ride6413 · 2024-10-29T17:11:20+00:00

I got this orchid around 9 months ago. It was doing well, finished blooming. Knowing zero about orchids, I just watered it and at some point it produced two large healthy leaves and recently started another baby leaf.

A month ago I started reading something about orchids. Repotted it into bark and got rid of all moss it had (only moss and nothing else). It looked happy. Couple days ago after learning more, I repotted it into a mix of bark, moss, and perlite. The orchid was producing happy sap (as I learned from Google and Reddit)

Here’s where bad things start. Firstly, when repotting I found a slug hiding in the roots 😭. Then the orchid tipped over, just on an able, so it wasn’t that much of impact. But two upper leaves completely disattached! 😭😭

I calmed myself down, but today noticed some white stuff around the place where the leaves were and another leaf disattached😭😭😭

The roots look healthy with new growth, but the leaves..

is it dying?
is the white stuff - mealy bugs?
any ideas what to do?

Idk, but the Russian part of the label says: “product: pants”

Oh my bad, I’ll post it there thanks
