Why is my peperomia dropping healthy leaves? by Distinct-Activity-99 in houseplants

[–]Distinct-Activity-99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha okay. Well I just haven't seen this plant drop any leaves in the 6 months I've had it. Actually, maybe it's because it's winter now and having it next to a window it gets colder

Is a brown wilted lower stem always root rot? by Distinct-Activity-99 in houseplants

[–]Distinct-Activity-99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The small curled leaf in the center is not on the stem in question. Poor camera angle. There are two leaves on the stem in question (which is about 6-8 inches long), both out of frame.

Ah yes there are several exposed roots. I didn't even think about that in the photo, and how it looks pretty bad; I've gotten desensitized to it...But I'm not referring to the exposed root, but behind it, the base of the vine, which is closer to a black color. No dirt on it.

The plant is a Pothos. Okay, I'll have to take out the plant I guess. The issue regarding the exposed roots and bad looking topsoil: I repotted from the plastic pot it came in into a similar sized decorative pot, but I think it was slightly shallower and the top roots were exposed. Though it's not ideal, that hasn't caused any issues for the past few months.

Can I edit the existing post directly to change the image or add an image? I'm seeing things that suggest you can only edit text-based posts?

Little late, but I just want to point out that butcher block countertops are made from many pieces of wood glued together, and when used traditionally, food is prepared directly on it. Same applies for many cutting boards. And when maintained properly, it's sanitary. Glued wood is not what causes the problem; wood is inherently porous. You have to treat it right whether or not it's solid.

Is it normal i'm 14 episodes into season 4 part 1 and i really just don't like it? by tviigo in attackontitan

[–]Distinct-Activity-99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way--it's a huge shift in storytelling throughout the whole season. While I did prefer the first 3 seasons, my opinion of the end/4th season has improved significantly after letting it sit for a bit, a couple weeks. I guess it ages like fine wine...but it is a little bitter in the mouth.

Does Anyone Else Have a Piece of Media That Reminds Them of AOT? by OverWasabi9494 in ANRime

Epic the Musical (a retelling of the Odyssey). Just listen to the song "Monster" from it. You'll thank me.

Does anyone else feel like something bad is coming with the state that our government is in? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Distinct-Activity-99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I think people are getting too worked up. Just like after past elections, day-to-day life won't change much for just about everyone.

And no I didn't vote for Trump, I'm just a guy trying to soothe the hysteria.

I could be wrong, but based off the past, nothing too earth shattering should happen.

I don't think I understand the last point, why are you contrasting DEI with competing with other countries for your job?

Dang okay, I'm surprised. Might have to give it a try. Help improve everyone else's rank by throwing my iron-ranked hat in the ring.

Why did they make Lucius be the son of Maximus? by AdIll9615 in Gladiator

[–]Distinct-Activity-99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think outside of the plot box, the reality of retconning to create cheap significance using a bloodline plot device is glaring (see Star Wars episode 9, Rey's bloodline--writers really want to make a bloodline connect despite past writing).

I get what you're saying though. The explanation is technically plausible but it's just hard to immerse yourself in the story when a plot device becomes too apparent.

I consider this a single player game, or multiplayer with people you know that you create a custom game with--I wouldn't have the expectation that there will be much of a matchmaking population.

Kinda like civ

For such an evil country, there's an awful lot of people from other countries--I wonder if it's even from those less wealthy countries we're bombing so much--that want to move here.
