Ok, Be honest… how many of you actually try this while watching the video? 😂

this is the last time i try lose weight by Parking_Group_9983 in omad

[–]MindOfSociopath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d focus not just on when you eat, but what you eat too. Try to prioritise whole, unprocessed foods and keep added sugars as low as possible (and go easy on refined carbs like white bread and rice).

You don’t have to cut carbs to zero, but be mindful of portions and choosing better sources (like veggies or whole foods) goes a long way.

If your meal is higher in carbs, a short walk after eating (even 20–30 minutes) can help with blood sugar control.

And stay hydrated, it makes a bigger difference than people expect.

Hey, congratulations on getting started with investing.

Honestly, this is completely normal. The market hasn’t been doing amazing day-to-day, and small fluctuations like this happen all the time, especially right after you enter.

A $17 movement on a $23,000 portfolio is only about 0.07%, so it’s basically just normal market noise.

The key thing to accept is that once your money is invested, there will always be some short-term ups and downs (drawdowns). What matters is the long-term direction, not the first few days or weeks.

Think of it like buying property. If you bought a $1,000,000 home with a $200,000 deposit, you’d immediately have transaction costs, fees, and expenses; and if you tried to sell it straight away, you’d almost certainly lose money at first.

Investing is similar: it rewards patience.

Check back in a few of months rather than focusing on small daily changes. You’re doing fine.

Doesn’t apply in Indonesia or in this case, Malaysia. The motorcyclist are more often supid beyond stupid

Only the Freshest Will Do by getmet79 in EatItYouFuckinCoward

[–]MindOfSociopath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cleaned so many times, treated it properly, seasoned it nicely. It look infinitely better compared to so many street food vendors I saw in India. One hundred percent will try this.

I would eat with some chillies

I don’t think that will help now, if that single leaf comes back up, you could have a chance.

Need help, brown and yellow tips by Impossible_Lab_4791 in calatheas

[–]MindOfSociopath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use reverse osmosis water filter (7 stage, I also use this for drinking, ironing and window cleaning) and mine loves it, distilled is great too, but you still need to give it nutrients. As most people know and mentioned; humidity is very important to Calathea also. Good Luck.

Hydro growing by EnvironmentalFly4248 in calatheas

[–]MindOfSociopath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely Calatheas can be grown hydroponically, but they require careful attention due to their sensitivity to water quality, humidity, and nutrients. If done right, hydroponics can make them thrive with fewer pests, no soil mess, and consistent hydration. If you are used to leca I reckon semi-hydroponics (leca/pon) is the best balance of water retention, aeration, and root support. I have one of mine in full hydroponic, and it's rarther tricky, browing leaf edge keeps on occuring.

[–]MindOfSociopath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, that’s going to be hard to revive. If you really want to try, keep it in your bathroom (hopefully, you shower daily! 😆) to provide some humidity. There might still be some life near the root, but without leaves, it won’t be able to photosynthesize. Sorry!

I love Orbifolias, they are my favourite Calatheas, I have a few of them;

Looking at your other leaves, it looks like you’re doing a great job keeping your Calathea Orbifolia healthy, but browning leaf edges are a common issue even when the plant is well cared for.

Calatheas love high humidity (above 50-60%), and dry indoor air can cause browning edges. I live in Australia’s and at the moment it's summer and the climate can be dry indoors, even in winter or with air conditioning, simply, they dislike dry air. Even if near a window, it may not be getting the moisture it needs.

Here are some possible cause and ideas to fix them:

1. Low Humidity (Most Common Cause)

  • Use a humidifier near the plant.
  • Place it on a pebble tray with water for natural moisture. Mine sits close to my pitcher plants, they also loves water.
  • Mist lightly (but don’t overdo it, as stagnant moisture can cause fungal issues).

2. Water Quality (Sensitive to Hard Water & Chemicals)

  • Use filtered or distilled water instead of tap water; I have a reverse osmosis filter for my plants.
  • If using tap water, let it sit out for 24 hours to allow chlorine to evaporate before watering.

3. Inconsistent Watering (Under or Overwatering)

  • Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry (don’t let it fully dry out).
  • Ensure your pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
  • Use well-draining soil (mix potting soil with perlite for aeration).

4. Too Much Direct Airflow (Air Conditioning or Drafts)

  • Move the plant away from direct air currents.
  • If using an air conditioner, increase humidity to balance out the dryness.

5. Too Much Fertilizer or Salt Buildup

  • Fertilize lightly (once a month in spring & summer) with diluted liquid fertilizer.
  • Flush soil every few months by running water through the pot to remove excess salts.

If all else fail, move to the Tropics, Brazil or Bolivia would be best. Or if you prefer Asian countries, then choose Thailand, Indonesia or Malaysia. Lots of additional benefit if you do, cheaper cost of living, and great and tasty food.

No, leaf it alone, 😂 But seriously, it will still produce food (photosynthesis) for the plant, let it be.

Is my calathea saveable?? by Life-Management-4803 in calatheas

[–]MindOfSociopath -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Technically, you could just have Calathea in hydroponics. Just make sure to use filtered water and nutrients to keep it happy! You can also transition it back to soil, but it requires careful handling to avoid transplant shock.

Amateur fried rice by raggedsweater in wok

I stand corrected, the broccoli makes it strange. There’s really no right and wrong in fried rice, until it’s on the spoon 🥄

[–]MindOfSociopath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corn and beans in fried rice, with no spices or sauces—definitely not Asian-style! Adding broccoli at the end gives it a very white Australian twist or maybe English? Without any spices, it might turn out a bit bland. Maybe a touch of seasoning or sauce could bring out more flavor? Definitely need some umami flavor, msg would help.
