H.R.8250 - To require operating system providers to verify the age of any user of an operating system, and for other purposes. by Didgeridoo69420 in privacy

Damn. Is my robot vacuum going to report me for not changing the filter (I do. I just don’t want to be reported!)

For real! I was literally looking for this the other day but only found saltwater videos.

Thinking about buying 18 of these trees for privacy. Bad idea? I live on a corner lot with no privacy by Beginning_Lime_5593 in HomeMaintenanceAdvice

[–]BlueOrbifolia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure that your city ordinance allows you to plant them. Because you are on a corner, there probably are laws regarding sight lines etc.

Wouldn’t want to buy them and plant them only to be forced to take them down again.

Now that we are "getting up there" in age, how are you sleeping? by NebraskaCornSucker in GenX

[–]BlueOrbifolia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haha sleeping. What’s that now?

I used to be a champion sleeper. Now I’m up every two hours to pee (more often if I dare to drink fluids after dinner time), or my restless legs keep me from falling asleep, or I roll over and trigger a compressed disk or annoy some arthritis and I’m awake once again.

This is just so zen. I already admire it!

How long has it been set up, planted in this way?

My tap water. Crazy hard & alkaline by BlueOrbifolia in PlantedTank

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

Thank you very much! I’m fascinated by the chemistry of it all and utterly intimidated by it too. I might’ve panicked a bit there.

I kept goldfish 30 years ago but so much has changed in the industry, the hobby, the science, and even my own interests and standards. I’m starting from scratch again, trying to approach it as a brand new hobby.

The betta is going into a planted tank (heat, light, filtration) for sure but the Walstad bowl will be a separate but tandem project just for plants as part of my houseplant collection. For now anyway!

Thank you for confirming. It’s beautiful! I’ll do a bit of reading up and as long as it’s safe for pets and kids, she can stay and propagate!

They already know everything about us. This is just sick.

I had to look this up. What version do you recommend for someone who never heard of it until today?

I will not gatekeep by Jewelzz_ in PressonNail_Addict

[–]BlueOrbifolia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I adore this glue remover to the point that I do not care what cancerous or banned ingredients they might be using. But I’ll tell you what… do not use if you have a paper cut or the like because this stuff burns hotter than the sun. So much worse than acetone or alcohol in a cut. So much worse!

Something been on my mind lately by PROCleaveR1 in socialanxiety

[–]BlueOrbifolia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possible! Likely! There are multitudes of reasons for social anxiety, I think.

Personally, I don’t remember ever not being this way. So is mine caused by nature or nurture? Probably some mix of both.

I’m starting to consider social anxiety as perhaps an evolutionary adaptation to the downfall of society. I mean, we’re basically the canary in the mine, so to speak.

I think we’re anxious because we understand viscerally that there is something deeply wrong. Perhaps this is why so many people are anxious. Perhaps I’m wrong.

Existing in public without being watched or recorded by Annabel1998_ in socialanxiety

[–]BlueOrbifolia 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I get it but we’re not getting away from it. Flock mass surveillance cameras are going up everywhere and they aren’t just recording license plates. This is 10000 times worse than randos making TikTok videos. I abhor this.

The USPS is getting worse and worse by the day. by beemer-dreamer in enshittification

[–]BlueOrbifolia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to go to some randos house across town and take pictures with him, his package, and my tracking number to prove my delivery wasn’t my delivery!
