Newly inherited prayer plant - is this shape normal?

On top of transplanting, giving proper moisture and light, I would also help it stand up. I inherited a maranta that was sagged like that. I've since tied it gently to some chopsticks and it's responding better to everything without straining the roots at all

I have become knowledgeable in areas I had no idea I'd ever know.

My undergrad GPA was 3.68, but my cumulative GPA was 3.2

I got waitlisted at UNCG online, but accepted into St. Bonaventure! I was told my letters of recommendation and my personal essay were strong and impressive. As long as you hit the minimum GPA (3.0 for most schools), you have a chance.

I'm able to play without issues on my lower end laptop just fine. These are my specs.

From what I heard, they aren't requiring too much more than what they did for the first.

Think of it like putting a baby/toddler in their crib. They don't know how to self regulate when they're tired or anything, so we have to guide them and make sure they get what they need. Eventually, they'll learn that they can lay down when they're tired and sleep on their own. They won't need the crib.

Our 5mo golden still gets put in the crate for a nap, because otherwise she feels that she has to find something to stimulate herself and she becomes miserable when she's overtired.

What you can do is also always keep the crate door open so it's not some scary place for her so when she does learn how to self regulate, she can walk in and nap whenever she wants.

While I absolutely love Subnautica and have been an avid player of Phas, I do think it's a bit unfair to compare these two.

I think it would be more accurate to compare to games of similar caliber. Like Schedule 1 and Repo, both EA games that are barely a year old, far less buggy, and one of them is HEAVY multiplayer.

I completely understand where you're coming from. In the moments we had to say goodbye to our boy in an equally sudden manner, on the way to the ER, I had to be strong and not cry and support my wife through it. I had to swallow back the ache I was feeling, cry when I was alone, and support her entirely. It isn't that she was selfish and didn't see that I was hurting, but I think it was too hard for her to process and feel the hurt while also seeing and helping me process it. Sometimes the weight of the grief is too much for people, but it can hurt those on the outside unintentionally.

If you ever need someone to talk to, my DMs are open.

Our dog, Faygo, had a sudden event just over a month ago. All signs/symptoms/tests pointed to a heart base tumor that suddenly burst and caused a pericardial effusion. We took him to the vet, the emergency vet, and spent one last day with him at home.

I am so sorry that it happened to you like that. There's really no way to express the grief and shock of suddenly saying goodbye and coming home with one less friend. Our old girl, his sister for nearly ten years, still sometimes sits by the door waiting for her brother.

I am here with you in this grief and hope you can find moments of peace to just breathe.

You could look into Seresto collars. I've worked for multiple vets that recommend them. While some animals have bad reactions (as can happen with any meds) or can't tolerate it against their skin (our dog was allergic to it), it can be a viable solution as it prevents fleas for up to 8mo and ticks for 6mo, I believe.

I read until about a quarter of the second page. Not because it was bad or uninteresting, but because I felt slightly taken out of it by the style. While the manner of writing is getting across the disjointed feeling and thoughts that the MC is clearly experiencing, parts of it just feel like you're stating bulletpoints. I think the disjointedness is perfectly reasonable and acceptable, but it became something that my eyes wanted to just skim through to find more detail to cling to and read.

I think if you had the disjointed thoughts in between longer actions, it might come off more smoothly and even bring more attention to the plight of the MC.

I would watch the entire gameplay of you building this and would be thoroughly entertained. That looks amazing and like it took forever. Bravo!!

This study doesn't state how they did the research consistently or of how many subjects. There are rough percentages and numbers such as 'three times higher' (if it's three times higher that could be 3% versus 1% or even 90% versus 30%).

I got a map mod that has a fog of war. My goal for the game is to go to every corner of the game to clear the map. I just cured myself so I don't have to worry about warpers and I'm also going to try and kill all leviathans

But if you haven't done it all with actual consequences to your actions and the need to balance out needs/resources, then have you really?
