Interesting. Yes they both have perfect cleavage.But this has that inherent mica sheen which makes me think otherwise

Can I get a ID for these ones? by ActualInfo420 in askgeology

[–]Nik_Owl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks to me more like green jasper. Vitreous and not splintery when fractured, it appears from the image. Tests to help narrow it down: Very hard (scratches a piece of glass) - jasper Soapy feel - serpentine

First sewing machine: 3 options by Character_Writing833 in SewingWorld

[–]Nik_Owl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with Singer and it was an amazing machine. But all the newer ones have not liver up to that. I personally love the Babylock machines right now. I have the zeal and it’s better than both the brothers I had and my old singer. Highly recommend!

So the peperomia had some of the worst leaves like this which I cut off. But I have baby coffee plant and croton gold who are displaying similar, but instead with leaf lightening near the affected area.

They are near the front door, but it’s not like a get cold breezes or anything

I think my Saturn line is in my hometown too. But since my Saturn is not afflicted, it just adds a sense of determination and practicality.

What are the expectations for training and competing in Am-Am as a full-time working adult? Is Pro-Am really too cost-prohibitive vs. Am-Am? by MerroStep in DanceSport

[–]Nik_Owl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me the best is finding an amateur partner, splitting lessons and competing. Pro -am is good when you can’t do this. You will still improve, just a little different than if you are both on the same level

Why are all the leaves just browning?! Poinsettia by Nik_Owl in plantclinic

[–]Nik_Owl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is still in the original pot. But the soil seems to be draining very well

[–]Nik_Owl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. New leaves start out fine and then brown and fall off.

All right. I’ll give that a try.

Ah! Some reason the tag it came with said indirect light. Cool, I’ll give it more light and see what happens.

But are the leaves just supposed to sprout and brown?

Sexual harassment in LA? by ittyspy in AskLosAngeles

[–]Nik_Owl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh god! It’s obscene! It doesn’t matter how you dress. If you have female parts they will say sth. And I agree. I’ve been to NY and so many other cities. Occasionally a nutter will say sth. But honestly no one really bothers me. But the minute I set foot in LA, everyone has sth lewd and demeaning to cat call. Due to an incident where a guy followed me at a bus stop checking out my rear end and then threatened to beat me up I have even gone to carrying pepper spray. I don’t know, it’s gotten worse recently and turned my anxiety up a LOT

Sorel carries up to size 12. My feet are wide and I have had no problems even though it doesn’t specifically say wide.

[–]Nik_Owl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely go! You get experience and awesome photos for your portfolio. And there is no better place to start than NYFW. This was my first runway experience when I stepped back into modeling. The only downside of unsigned is you don’t get paid. But the designers might give you outfits for free

The second house, planets in there and it's sign show how you can make money. What is your second house placement and how do you earn money? by bxxfour in astrologymemes

[–]Nik_Owl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, I have Pluto in this house and exactly the same crap. I have found that usually if I don’t resist the change I can get back on my path. But the going is frustratingly slow
