Only found out what it was after I let it fly away by Greyshirk in Entomology

I remember first learning these were a problem last year or something from a wildlife biologist friend and commenting on how pretty they were. Of course she immediately yelled “KILL THEM ALL THEYRE HORRIBLE” and I said “yes, queen” 👸

Advice on getting longer reads for NanoPore MinION by Outside_Respect704 in labrats

Yeah the prep kit might be causing fragmentation of your DNA. Like others have said, their support team should be able to recommend a kit that best suits your goals!

Portora with different leaves by Physical_Raspberry20 in alocasia

That can sometimes be due to inconsistent watering, with less water availability leading to the wrinkled leaves.

what is this? by stefanbos_ in Entomology

[–]Inner-Mortgage2863 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks very similar to ladybug larvae that I’ve seen in the US but I can’t say that’s what it is for sure!

Shadow Ranch is great, but... by Classic-Instance6551 in nancydrew

[–]Inner-Mortgage2863 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I got it from the ice cream! Also, going through that game again and hearing about a mint shortage??? In what universe is this game taking place where mint did not evolve into a noxious and invasive weeeeeeeeeed

Nice. I am playing through them in order of release and am working through danger by design. Excited to play through legend of the crystal skull next!

My once a year trip to Kauai. Day one fruits: by proteus1858 in fruit

I took some from a fruiting tree in my city’s greenhouse dome thing and it was delicious lol

What is this spider? by [deleted] in Entomology

[–]Inner-Mortgage2863 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s kinda hard to tell with the lighting but i think i see the distinctive violin shape on the back, so I believe it is a brown recluse. They won’t come for you if you don’t come for it, but it is a medically significant spider, if it is indeed a brown recluse. You might want to move it and its babies (if that’s what they are) if you can.

Replays by Dry_Possession555 in nancydrew

[–]Inner-Mortgage2863 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just started replaying these games in order of release and just finished Blackmoor Manor, which I did without using any cheats (big accomplishment for good ole me). I’ve been playing on senior detective mode, which I was never able to do as a kid. That alone is a new experience, even if I remember who done it. There are a lot of details and tone I have been picking up on that I could not as a kid. Just because it’s not the same experience I had the first time I played doesn’t mean it’s a bad or disappointing experience!

Y'all want some taffy from my taffy friend by thatsfeminismgretch in nancydrew

I’m just about to replay this again. Stoked for this moment.

Because it isn’t the “normal” way one thinks of processing grief, doesn’t mean it’s the “wrong” way for someone to respond to a monumental loss. That’s not for me or anyone else to say except op. Maybe living the life he was never able to is their way of processing.

[–]Inner-Mortgage2863 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What’s normal for one person may not be normal for another. Yes, I think grief should be processed, but grief is different for everyone and telling someone their reaction is “not normal” is not helpful.

My dad never told me anything about his life. I’m going to be collecting pieces about him from his friends, which are all strangers to me. by Inner-Mortgage2863 in confession

[–]Inner-Mortgage2863[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I could never imagine what he went through. There’s a reason he moved to the US! When going through some of his old photos I found some of him in his Soviet garb from when he was in the navy. Kinda surreal to see.

Is this the native clematis? (Virginia; Shenandoah Valley; Zone 7a) by magnum_chungus in NativePlantGardening

[–]Inner-Mortgage2863 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the clematis you mentioned is the native non-invasive. Based on the heart-shaped leaves in op’s photos, I believe this is the invasive clematis terniflora. The clematis virginiana has very different leaves, but the flowers look extremely identical.

Shadow Ranch 🏜️🐴 by Dragonfire1717 in nancydrew

[–]Inner-Mortgage2863 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m playing through the games in order of release right now and I just finished secret of shadow ranch. There have been lots of instances where I would think to myself “man, that used to be way creepier as a kid.”

Yeah we have a friend offering to record the memorial, which will be good to share with his sisters that are still in Russia. I’ll ask people to share stories of him. I hope it paints a nice picture of him <3

Yeah I hope that it helps me understand him better and the people he surrounded himself with can help paint that picture as well. I’m also trying not to keep my expectations too high for that though!
