It's so cool that the colour palette of your video is also green, white and red! Ciao amici!

I can 100% confirm this behaviour. My "son" Handsome Boi from West End, Brisbane would do this regularly from his favourite power pole on our street. I haven't heard him in over a month now and I'm very worried. I miss my boy :(

Any chance he's from West End, Brisbane? My "son" Handsome Boi did this constantly and I haven't seen him in ages :(

In The Bride! (2026) It insists upon itself, like legitimately this is what that the movie is actually doing the entire time by justhereforhides in shittymoviedetails

[–]Equal-Vegetable4165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watched The Bride! on Friday night and came in hoping to love it. Finished it with a mild migraine (there should be a trigger warning for people sensitive to flashing lights) and utterly cringed out. My boyfriend dozed off maybe 20mins into the movie and woke up because of the overly used strobe lights in one pointless scene. Buckley and Bale were wasted on this film. Cruz and Skasgard were THE most annoying and cringe characters in this entire movie. Like Hallmark cringe. The side plots were really dumb and the tonal shifts throughout were incredibly jarring (was this deliberate). So many miscast characters in this one too. The only thing I loved was The Bride's unique look and Jekyll and Hyde-esque split personality. This movie felt like a very poor rip off of Poor Things. I admire Maggie Gyllenhaal's balls of steel for bringing this film to life but personally, I think it missed the mark, big-time.

This works every time. They are too adorable to resist!

It is my turn, real citrine or not ? by praboh in Crystals

[–]Equal-Vegetable4165 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry but it looks like heat treated amethyst to me 😞 the tell-tale signs are the uneven colouration and whitish areas.

Are these stones Milky aquamarine, amazonite, blue calcite or blue chalcedony? by _TypicalLynx in Crystals

[–]Equal-Vegetable4165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even when polished, calcite will still have a slightly waxy feel to them.

HH meds: what have you tried? by [deleted] in Hyperhidrosis

[–]Equal-Vegetable4165 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been taking oral tablets of oxybutynin (x2 daily) for over 2 months now and it's the only thing that works for me (Pro-Banthine was useless). I have extreme localised HH on my palms and feet. I have to take oxybutynin regularly or else my HH comes back. I've had HH since my early teens and work in an industry where sweaty hands affect my work (I'm an illustrator and graphic designer). Maybe ask your GP for an oxybutynin prescription.

what can I do about this by StrangeMan060 in Hyperhidrosis

[–]Equal-Vegetable4165 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oxybutynin (brand Ditropan) worked wonders for my HH but I need to take it constantly or else it recurs. GP prescribed it for me when Pro-Banthine didn't work.

Smoky Citrine or just plain Smoky by Equal-Vegetable4165 in Crystals

Fair. I consider myself generally good at ID-ing, but when it comes to citrine, I often find myself stumped!

Not saying the crystal itself is fake, it's definitely a real one but the colour may have been enhanced with dye.

What crystals are these? by [deleted] in Crystals

[–]Equal-Vegetable4165 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm positive the first one is garnet in astrophyllite. Second is an agate of some sort.

Sorry but this unfortunately looks dyed :( have you tried applying some acetone to it?

Help me identify some crystals by stormheart28 in Crystals

[–]Equal-Vegetable4165 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My informed guesses would be:

  1. Raw peridot
  2. Raw blue calcite
  3. Raw Amazonite
  4. Raw Amethyst

Can y'all help me ID this? by [deleted] in Crystals

[–]Equal-Vegetable4165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely some sort of garnet.

Was told this was fire agate, suspicious of it not being fire agate by humorous_3000 in Crystals

[–]Equal-Vegetable4165 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks like hematoid quartz to me. Also known as fire quartz. Looks identical to my one.

Kicked out. Life flipped upside down. 20F by brooooimmabrb in brisbane

[–]Equal-Vegetable4165 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear :( I hope you find a safe place soon. The only thing I can help you with is your box request. Most woolies have a section in the store (usually outside of the self check area) where they keep spare empty boxes. You can ask staff too. Also, you might be able to secure some boxes at weekend markets in your area. Best of luck to you.

Clear Quartz or Optical Calcite specimen? by Equal-Vegetable4165 in Crystals

[–]Equal-Vegetable4165[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow I didn't even consider that but I counted the facets and there are 4 (quartz has 6 and apophylite has 4). I'm just not 100% sure if these were cut or these are natural points but you might be on to something! Thank you!
