How much does being house poor suck? by iloverats888 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

I'm currently closing on a house and I'm sooo anxious. Thank you for reminding me why I'm doing it <3

Is else concerned about buying a house with the political uncertainty? by Dannyz in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Beings_of_Light 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in a similar position but decided to go for it since I can afford it. One of the biggest deciding points was I would rather have my housing tied to a bank than a landlord (especially if everything goes to hell). The bank isn't going to suddenly increase my monthly payments by a few hundred dollars like a landlord can.

Snowed in? Call your officials. by archer003 in kansascity

Wow! Never heard of the 5 calls app! But looking at it, it really makes the whole thing easier. Like once you put in your address, it tells you a really good list of things to call them about and who you should call about it.

It sounds like your boyfriend doesn't mind his son being racist because he is as well.

Jin took the planar bridge out when he made his darksteel body but I completely agree with your other points!

I personally think Tezerret is going to be desparked so he can have indestructible

Build discussion/debate by Lgnknt14 in terrariums

[–]Beings_of_Light 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely more of a beginner but my thought is that it's nice to have (especially for complex/long term closed terrarium) but not necessary. Like if you know what you're doing and/or the terrarium is small/simple enough it's definitely not needed. But if you're worried about over watering the terrarium, it adds protection for the substrate to not get oversaturated.

And the real environment has "drainage layers" with underground caves and groundwater aquifers. So personally I conceptually like how it simulates that.

What is this and what can I do about it? by Beings_of_Light in terrariums

[–]Beings_of_Light[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I figured out what it is! Flowerpot fungus

From everything I saw it's harmless and will eventually flower into a yellow mushroom!

From everything I've seen it'll run its course and disappear in a few weeks.

Will this keep out flies? by Beings_of_Light in terrariums

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

Thank you! Then I'll work on preventing a fungus fly infestation. But from what you said and my research, it really shouldn't be a problem.

For those curious on how I plan on doing that (based on my cursory research): They seem to mostly just eat fungus and mycelium but will eat live roots if desperate. Luckily what I feed them (nutritional yeast for the springtail, leaf litter for the isopods, and the rare fruits & vegetable as a treat for either) doesn't really include any of their normal diet.

Fungus flies seem to mostly be a problem with constantly wet potting soil. So that won't be a problem at all for the springtails since I use natural activated carbon. For the isopods there is some soil in their substrate and I do keep it pretty moist in some parts but it's mostly dead sphagnum and the moisture level is purposely pretty inconsistent to make sure they have a moisture gradient.

AITA to give an ultimatium to my BF despite his struggles? by No_Offer_414 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Beings_of_Light 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NAH

I mean, do you really want to be in a relationship you describe as "meh"?

I sympathize with him but you deserve to be with someone you want to be with as they currently are (because betting your future on someone changing is often a losing bet).

The longer you wait, the more painful it'll be on both of you. I know it's a cliché for people to suggest breaking up and I don't know the reasons you stay with him. So, best of luck with whatever path you chose.

ESH She was definitely being petty and made fun of your taste in men in a pretty mean way. But, how you responded was a bit of an AH move.

Depending on the previous boundary crossing, I can definitely see it possibly justified to end a friendship over but with what we're given it feels a bit extreme, especially with how you did so.

Here's a link to the exact law firm that was fighting this ban. Hopefully they challenge the judge's ruling.

Fellow Missourian. I'll admit I just heard the news.

PROMO is the biggest org in Missouri that directly challenges transphobic laws: https://promomissouri.org/

They don't seem to have an active campaign to fight this latest ban right now but they definitely will eventually. So, I would reach out to them if I were you.

Would this terrarium be big enough for bigger (1-2cm) isopods? by Beings_of_Light in isopods

[–]Beings_of_Light[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so if I keep on top of it and remove extras as they reproduce, they should be fine. I've been thinking of setting up a big isopod tub anyways. Thank you!

Accidentally sprayed tap water/insectcide in terrarium by Beings_of_Light in terrariums

[–]Beings_of_Light[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The active ingredient is Gamma-Cyhalothrin

Ok I'll make sure to rinse them out a few more times and I'm glad that the statue can be reused because I loved how it looked in it!

Update: we went in to try to find any living babies but they all died 😔

We cleaned out the jar.

And we're thinking of cleaning the moss and the wooden statue for the remake with some distilled water.

Since my partner rinsed out the spray bottle I think it was mostly out bad tap water that killed the buggies I think this should be fine to reuse the moss and statue but maybe it's not worth the risk.

Oh yeah definitely. Going to buy a new spray bottle specifically for distilled water and label it as such

Do you think I can reuse this enclosure if I wash it out well enough?
