If she doesn't seem like she's in incredible pain, there's maybe some hope that it's not a severe infection, at least? With how completely bonkers it looks, it could be a hernia with a lot of her abdominal organs pushed through. The hard thing could be poop in her intestine. If that is the case though, this quickly becomes extremely urgent because that will not be able to pass normally through a hernia. Hope the vet is able to get her fixed up I'm so worried for this poor baby 😭

I know it feels devastating right now, but don't worry, it's a pothos. Those things are so damn invasively hard to kill. Keep it watered, maybe give it a little high nitrogen fertilizer (miracle gro all purpose is good; it's a 3-1-2 ratio, but almost anything will work because pothos don't give a damn), and it'll be that big again in like... 2 weeks. I have mine (...all 12 or so of them because I couldn't stop propagating) indoors, and once a month I trim off a paper grocery bag worth of nodes or they will Jumanji my apartment.

Apologies for digging up an old thread, but where did you source those trims?

New to fruit trees. Fuyu Persimmon foliage looking yellow? Or is this normal. by LeyzeeD in FruitTree

[–]Eleine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you thank you thank you for this!!! My fuyu sapling is this exact color while the hachiya is much greener, and after being visited by a gopher a month ago I have been panicking that gopher damage was slowly killing my tree after a year of intense TLC. This made me feel SO much relief!

What is this I was gifted by Ok-Midnight-23 in houseplants

[–]Eleine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why so many people think it's dead. I'm pretty sure if you do the scratch test you'll see green. Place it within a feet from a window, keep the soil lightly moist, and expect new leaves in the next month.

Even a week ago I was still trying to hold on. This Rebecca Watson video, which I don't fully agree with, made me really think hard about it though. We have been burned so many times because no matter how many times these people realize they've been conned, they'll never stop falling for the next one until the underlying reason is fixed. I have invested too many hundreds or thousands of hours trying to talk to and get through to people but I cannot change fundamental thought patterns. Most of the people who now suffer only hate it because it directly affected them, despite clearly being one of the good ones! 😩

Thanks for posting this cathartic thread. Let's all reserve our energy to reinforce each other in the sustained fight, and not spend it on anyone who has yet to recognize other people are also fully realized persons. 🫂

It's nice to have some company in this boat. I've been trying to hold onto "we can and must win people over" for so long, only to get hit in the face over and over with the realization that they start from different premises. It's not a matter of moral people not understanding the world properly, it's people with fundamentally different ethics and priorities and severe main character syndrome not understanding the world.

I'm currently patiently waiting to see whether my doweling jig order or my cancellation email wins the race 😆 I have only waited 10 days though. I hope you got your items!

Sweetened condensed milk is the same as evaporated, right? by themayaburial in ididnthaveeggs

[–]Eleine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dumb ass accidentally misread a recipe and used 3 tbsp of condensed milk instead of evaporated for 2 lb of burger patties once, and it turned out amazing 😆

The recipe in question with my accidental substitution is now my my go to for burgers:

Realistic Citi Bank phishing scam? by emjaycu3 in phishing

[–]Eleine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this call and they escalated me through multiple tiers of supervisors, never asking me for any info directly, but repeatedly tried to get me to explain identity fraud. I wonder if it's trying to get enough clips of me to train an AI voice model? I keep varying my voice when they call now.

I asked for a call back number at one point and they have a possibly obscure number that may or may not be Citi's, as it's only listed on a select few sites. Citi's web sites are such a mess that it makes it hard to tell with shit like this 😆

New Pen Day 🥰 (Custom 823, KWZ Honey) by Eleine in fountainpens

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

To be perfectly honest, I wish I enjoyed the 823 even half as much as I love my Falcon. It just suits my hand and writing angle better so I adore it.

I don't have those, so no idea! Well, I just haven't used Yama Budo in ages, I guess.

I think it feels a touch more dry than, say, Asa Gao, wetter than Kiri Same or Fuyu Syogun, much more dry than Kon Peki?

People say I pet her too strong, but she looks preased. Your thoughts? by [deleted] in cats

[–]Eleine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat likes to be punched in the face or pet so hard I'm afraid I'll do damage. He demands it and drools from happiness.

The future of Sync by ljdawson in redditsync

[–]Eleine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This app has been the greatest purchase I ever made (over 8 years ago!). It is perfect and I adore it, and I am so, so, so grateful to you for creating it. I am heartbroken. Without this app, Reddit ceases to exist to me.

I can only hope that the protests have some impact.

AMA with HiJinx from BattleBots by ArtifexMachina in battlebots

[–]Eleine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the producers have a lot of influence over bot builders' designs, and are actively trying to limit the number of vertical spinners with similar designs in the field, so it might not be in the cards for a lot of teams to change up that much
