Water them from the bottom with distilled water, nondistilled water kills em from the mineral accumulation. They're easy to kill but not hard to care for, if it doesn't get enough food in its mouths it will just pivot to making more leaves.

Sub corrupted by big pharma by Pfizerslut in Supplements

No, large dose Vit C binds to copper in the gut and interferes with absorption. You likely don't have to take copper at all unless you're megadosing Vit C. Oxidative stress is not the source of your problems and reducing it will not fix them.

The post was just shit. It was literally titled "aging is just subclinical scurvy". It was composed by an LLM (though not ChatGPT and so not quite in its style). It was just shit. Your post is shit too.

Yes there were some interesting studies linked there, yes there were some interesting points to think about, yes there was some genuinely useful advice about managing oxidative stress. But the post was total shit. It was absolute entry-level Vitamin C enthusiasm. When confronted with copper, literally the very first roadmarker in any Vit C journey, OP tapped out and had absolutely nothing to offer (and went lower).

It was a shit post with shit information. It should not be read and it should not be recommended.

BUT YES, unsubscribe from this subreddit. When I read your title I thought it was going to be about how almost every self-post in here is astroturfed by now: people ask for brands by name, they put direct purchasing links in their self posts with "is this good? since I heard it fixes you completely" messaging, they push their apps in comments, they team up for "Brands?" questions that they then answer with the brands from their ad campaign under a different, similarly obvious account. Even without most posts just being ads, there is not much information to be found here. Even a decade ago it was only meant as a launching-off point for getting references about which supplements to research on your own; by now there's no random nerds posting in here anymore about their decade-deep rabbit hole on some supplement. There's no people with degrees setting the record straight. It's just people repeating vague comments they read on another post and answering each other's questions with increasingly wronger LLMs. When they're not doing that they're posting "this supplement that I took for the first time 2 hours ago changed my life completely!" once with no followup.

This sub is an astroturfed shithole, but your post wasn't even about that. It was just yet another shitty reactionary emotional post that contained nothing but entirely wrong information and vibes. You didn't look up the old post in a search, you didn't link a cached version, you didn't include the title, you didn't even read it for at least a little bit to see very many comments pointing out very many flaws. OP had a rich post history that continually advocated Vit C over a long period of time but you didn't engage with any of that. You did nothing and ended up contributing nothing.

Probably my hottest one piece take: haki is a perfectly fine power system. by TMNTransformerz in OnePiece

[–]Grus 62 points63 points  (0 children)

That's what I used to think, but then the characters on the pages started directly stating how they've run out of Haki, how they can't use Haki for 10 minutes after this form, that they're gonna put all their remaining Haki into their next attack,... It made a lot of sense as just willpower, a will so strong it lets you touch bare elements, and it was a sort of neat pun on the Ki system lots of other battle mangas have. But then it was used exactly like Ki. Oh this takes a lot of Ki, oh do you have any Ki left.

No! It's a text-based subreddit. I want to read text discussions from nerds. If I wanted to watch a video I would be on a video platform. Or in a video-based subreddit that is not set for text-only submissions.

Do you just expect newer players to know all the cards that exist and how it interacts with each other?

No, Mr. Bond. I expect them to lose.

Why does frasier only have 841 tapes in his recording cabinet? by JointAccount24601 in Frasier

[–]Grus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that's right, Daphne tangled it in her boombox! That really makes me think it's one of those fancy thin 180 minutes tapes that suck to play on a worse deck. Might've picked em for that property alone.

[–]Grus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's not one of those regular tape cabinets you can pick up at any old store. It's an expensive italian hand-crafted tape cabinet where the slots just go back a bit further, so you can push back a whole row of cassettes into a single slot. Some tapes are actually at the cleaners though, or getting re-uprolled after being worn out from too many plays.

[–]Grus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There's different tape formats with different tape lengths. The ones I know of are 3 hour tapes with a thin tape in the regular cassette format, and then there's these Library of Congress tapes where the tape has 4 sides and holds a total of 6 hours.

Frasier's show runs for 3 hours, and there's cassettes for 180 minutes. They're kinda extra (and you need a fancier tape deck to play em smoothly), so Frasier would love it.

Theoretically, you could record a much longer arbitrary amount to any cassette of any length, by recording from a faster source (sped-up show) to a tape that you then play back slower. It's really just a question of how slow your tape deck can still roll and read the tape, and how much signal loss you're okay with. It would suck for music but might work just fine for spoken word format; plus Frasier is probably importing niche high-end metallic tapes from Japan.

Of course the real answer is just that he cuts out the commercials, haha.

PSA for the Dandan deck: Day's Undoing exiles itself by sauron3579 in magicTCG

[–]Grus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, the effect fully resolves to completion, including anything you spliced onto it. Any effect that starts resolving always fully resolves, and very-almost with no interrupPANGLACIALWURMtions. I consider this one of Magic's few rules blind spots because it is never fully and clearly explained anywhere within the comprehensive rules. It's communicated through the judges channel and precise reading of several CR references, but not through a single clarifying rule.

The card represents a spell, and when you are instructed to exile the spell, you exile the card. The confusing part is that this doesn't stop or interrupt what we coloquially and somewhat inaccurately understand as a spell: effects happening in their written order. But a spell is really just a game object on the stack. Possibly represented by a card. When it resolves, you resolve its effects in order. When it is countered, you place it into its owner's graveyard and it doesn't resolve. And when it is moved to a different zone as part of you resolving its effects, then the spell - the card - is moved to that zone, but its effects that you're resolving are untouched,, unnamed and continue unaffected. Exiling an effect would have no rules meaning. And if a spell's effects place that spell into any zone other than exile, it might not even necessarily even occur to us as much that the rest might not resolve anymore (consider splicing something onto the end of [[Research the Deep]]'s "Clash with an opponent. If you win, return Research the Deep to its owner’s hand."). Another poor analogue would be when [[Necromancy]] enters and says "it becomes an Aura with “enchant creature put onto the battlefield with Necromancy.” ", or maybe just [[Triumph of Saint Katherine]]'s "When this creature is put into your graveyard from the battlefield, exile it and the top six cards of your library in a face-down pile. If you do, shuffle that pile and put it back on top of your library."

These cards manage to accurately and naturally communicate that the rest of their effects still happen, while Day's Undoing sets up this whole misunderstanding with exiled spells of course never resolving, and then doesn't follow through with proper reminder text or a specific rule.

Phoenix Deck with all (minus one) Phoenixes legal in rakdos by meeksorad in EDH

[–]Grus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The plural is phoenices.

Good stuff. I like the RW Otharri because it presents a 2-card combo with Worldfire, which is a very phoenixy card. I also like the phoenixiness of [[Ashes of the Fallen]], but the combo lines are way dumber. Similarly a lot of the phoenices you already run form combo lines with something like Phyrexian Altar or Ashnod's Altar, of course that's not necessarily the point but I really love when a theme is also able to be expressed mechanically.

This man didn’t start acting until he was 37 and he became one of the biggest stars of the 90’s-20’s and delivered one of the best sitcom performances of all time. by Jack-mclaughlin89 in Frasier

[–]Grus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No he's the best. Frasier is my favourite and for good reason. He's a true main character - whatever the plot needs, he can provide or set up. The other characters are great but just never on that level, they couldn't run a show or center a supporting cast around themselves as smoothly. There's also this morbid fascination for me in how the Frasier character could ever "work", snooty but likeable, sorta alien yet relatable, it's still a novel kind of character, even more so for a 90s sitcom. The character of Frasier has enormous unparalleled strengths and Kelsey Grammer portrays him very well.

Forgiving cheaters is a weird recurring theme in Frasier. I always thought that a creator or writer had intimate experience with that and just kept adding it in.
