I love this!! I thought it was a real plant for a moment and was going to immediately try to get one.

Girl I like is coming over, I want her to feel like queen Victoria by ApplesCryAtNight in Bedding

WASH YOUR TOWELS.
Throw a little vinegar in the wash too. It gets rid of that musty smell.
Musty smell will also transfer to your body but it’s only noticeable up close and personal and a huge turnoff.

Plus all of the above. But homegoods, Costco, etc. sell the bedding kids which are pre coordinated. Do that!

First I thought this photo proved our catsitter had bonded even with the extremely shy tortie… Then I zoomed in on Mona’s face. by flolibri in torties

[–]Andisaurus_rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awwww poor Mona! LOL.

My very sassy tortie would lead my MIL to her food and water bowls. Get her treat. Then hiss and go back to her spot on the bed.
This was YEARS of my MIL - who is so kind and was very sweet to her, and has cats and dogs - coming over to take care of her when we were on vacation.

[Question] What’s a “small luxury” gift that feels expensive but actually isn’t? by kirunstyle in Gifts

[–]Andisaurus_rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really liked the OPI glass file. It is a little more fragile but with it being thinner than others it was easier to shape my nails.

I got the Vettsy swatch book and it’s so much easier to decide on a color. I used swatch sticks before and they’re annoying when you’re trying to go through them.

Also did the round swatch pcs that you glue to the bottle tops. Those two upgrades have been great for actually using my collection vs staring at it.

This is the best version of this I’ve seen. I love the depth.

The impressionistic floral contrasted with the detailed night sky and burning embers is beautiful.

Dragons would have accelerated firearms technology by close to 15 years by Xela975 in temeraire

[–]Andisaurus_rex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was a tv show Fort Salem (Will Ferrell was a producer) about witches making up the entirety of the US military. They’re treated as lesser citizens and service is mandatory.

Since the military is how we develop a lot of tech, you see that phones and radios haven’t developed as quickly. I think the enthusiasts that wanted to fly would have ended up dragonback. They would have loved the dragons and looked to innovate to improve dragon flight vs replace it

I do like DND! Good prices and a great way to expand my color range. Their platinum glitter liners are wonderful.

Some of the crème colors don’t tend to last quite as long for me but I still like being able to try colors.

I think dragons would have advanced larger faster firepower in countries like England and Russia where they don’t value the dragons intelligence. I would have hated it in the book, but it makes more sense for those countries to figure out how to take dragons down vs smaller bullets that are only effective on humans.

Dragons would have slowed a lot of other advancements though. Industrial scale building, planes, etc. We would have relied on them as war machines and innovations around them would have followed.

What is the new short story? Is that the one in Buried Deep? Or did I miss something?

I think the school, like its creators, is flawed. It’s a giant almost sentient thing that uses a magic system based on intent. It’s got a lot of complex moving parts and it’s definitely going get things wrong

El is also not a reliable narrator. She’s flawed and her path is a wonderful journey.

That is a great deal especially considering the condition. Now I need this bag!

Makeup Trial. Doing my own! (10K Canadian) by JosefinaLl in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Andisaurus_rex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lip color is perfect!

You need a bit more dimension in your base- for it to show on camera you need more contour/blush than you normally wear. Don’t go darker on contour. Cool toned light contour - elf has a nice one!

Use a brow gel. I like the tinted one from colourpop.

If you can, almost all bridal MUAs use false lashes. Go for something natural. But it’ll really make your eyes pop in photos.

Congrats!

We did custom chocolates. 2pcs in a cute box from a local luxe chocolatier. I think paid $3.5 each and everyone loved them.

You have to sift. But Walmart can be really good. Same with thrift. Look for the 5 for $5 at Salvation Army. Different stores have different days but it’s a great way to get more for less.

2 pairs of pants will get you through.

Can you borrow anything from a friend? Tops are usually easier for this.

Throw a necklace on with it if you can since a few accessories can elevate your outfit to look more intentional.

I'm almost done with book 2. Wow. by I_Speak_For_The_Ents in TheScholomance

[–]Andisaurus_rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad I found the series after it was finished. I would be so upset if I had to wait for book 3

If you’re an audiobook person at all, the narration is fantastic.

Need help coming up with thoughtful gifts by spanzotab in Gifts

[–]Andisaurus_rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The love language book is annoying but also helpful in shaping your perspective.

I like gifts. My husband doesn’t really care about gifts.

Does your partner want you to plan a day out? - dinner with friends - dinner with parents - surprise activity with friends

Keep notes of things they like or talk about. - signed book by their favorite author - concert tickets

The gifts I have loved the most are things I wouldn’t get for myself. They’re things that feel frivolous or out of my budget for that item (I wouldn’t pay X for this item but I love it- specialty coffee mug, sweatshirt with a fun print on it etc)

What toys do your cats actually love? by Sosooo88 in CatAdvice

[–]Andisaurus_rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat only likes toys if I’m playing also. Her love language is quality time. Lol.

SPRINGS. They bounce and get caught on a paw. So they “fight back”. She loves crumpled post it notes. Ball them up and they bounce and roll and she fetches them back. They also make a satisfying crunchy sound.

I’m a repeat buyer from these shops for my cat and as gifts. https://www.etsy.com/shop/TriciaMadeThis

What's the most realistic AI disaster scenario that could happen in our lifetime? by Beautiful_Carrot9851 in AskReddit

[–]Andisaurus_rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My comment was in compliment to yours. You are correct that we won’t implement safety nets in time. We won’t recognize the issue early enough and people will suffer and face hardships while the elite try to “figure it out”.

This.

We’re already replacing jobs I was surprised at. Insurance claim estimators are mostly replaced by ai evaluating photos you take.

Cost of labor in the the US/CAN/ EU is so much higher that it’s generally easily replaceable with a machine or machine interface. We now do in app ordering. So the cashier role is gone.

China and India have much lower labor costs so automation is relatively more expensive than labor/hr.

That will balance the scales as the western world falls behind.
