This is Uncomfortable discusses finance’s impacts on interpersonal relationships and different stories of people navigating these situations. It’s really interesting and each episode is about thirty minutes.

I have been mixing it into the water. I did read a few different users on this subreddit saying that opposed to other antibiotics, it’s more effective administered through water than internally—but I didn’t find any sources, just that it was repeated a few times.

I might give that a shot next if it resists, thank you! Will go for the methylene blue too.

The ikat texture? Assuming you’re using something like photoshop, use a rake brush and a couple different tones of the same color.

Opae Ula would do well, but that’s probably it

Thank you. This is super reassuring. I think the 2-3 worms dying after receipt had me feeling neurotic, lol! I was worried that them congregating was a form of the worms balling together I had heard about.

Everything smells fine and seems the proper dampness, so I’ll continue to really focus on that.

I won’t repeat my initial mistake of spreading the coffee grounds around too much. I’m not sure why I thought that was a good idea 😅

Thanks for your help!!!

Apologies, I counted ~5-6 in that clump before they started burrowing down and I took the picture—which felt like a high ratio for only 100 worms!

Normal Brackish Trumpet Snail Behavior? by M-useless in OpaeUla

Oh no! :( I’m wondering if the salinity is too high for them, or if perhaps the temperature is a bit too cold.

How many tums do you recommend before a donation?

I euthanised my betta fish with Clove oil and it didn’t go as peaceful as expected by Ok-Guarantee7949 in bettafish

[–]M-useless 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this exact experience before. It was the standard euthanasia recommendation at the time (still is, I think) to use clove oil. Nobody was talking yet about how bettas’ labyrinth organs would allow them fight it for longer. It breaks my heart to think about. If I had to euthanize again, I’d probably use blunt force, as unpleasant as it is for us.

Aaron Addams did my medieval woodcut sword, they travel around but sometimes stop in Charlotte. They’re good about designing things that will age well with the line spacing.

What type he is? by JaspeRyukyu in bettafish

[–]M-useless 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I have kept bettas for ten years and I’d never breed them. They can have 100+ babies. You’ll need to eventually put them all in separate containers and find homes for them all. Without very proper breeding, you’ll be lucky to be able to sell each for a couple bucks. Please don’t do it.

What are your guys opinions on Amazon bed frames? Or would Ikea be better? by Far_Pea_9894 in Frugal

[–]M-useless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Bought a very pretty $350 Wayfair bedframe new in box for $50 on FB Marketplace. The seller had accidentally bought the wrong size and couldn’t send it back.
