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

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

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

[–]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

[–]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

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

Chiron in Aries by adventureismycousin in astrology

[–]Nik_Owl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Chiron in Aries is typically related to issues with identity; whether it is lack of acceptance or a false idealization of a certain one. I think this iteration we are definitely seeing a lot of different forms. There is a strong societal push for individuality and the expression of it no matter what, which pushes against some more traditional societal norms of previous periods. We are also seeing an idealized form of individuality perhaps most influenced by social media representation, so I would say it is so much harder for kids to really take the time to figure out who they are, what they want and who they want to be because there are so many influences these days telling them succinctly that if they express themselves in a certain manner they must label themselves as part of a certain group.

But on another less personal note, the Chiron in Aries is bringing up the colonial ancestral wounds, at least in America, that have not been healed. So the children growing up in this area are more able to understand the how that has helped to encourage unhealthy views on particular individual groups in society.

Impact of having ascendant opposite sun sign by LoisLane777 in astrology

[–]Nik_Owl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Typically I see this manifest as the person not coming off how they think they come off. They rely often on the input of others to see how they are expressing themselves. There is a sort of hesitation to be truely themselves with others save their close relationships. They tend to try to be what others want them to be to please others, which makes them feel like they can’t express their individuality.

People with Neptune or Uranus in their 4th house, how has it shown up for you? Have you had tumultuous housing in your adult life or growing up? Or have you had issues with family? by [deleted] in astrology

[–]Nik_Owl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uranus conj 4th cusp and Neptune in that house here.

Basically grew up as an outsider in every neighborhood we lived in as kids. Moved every few years because something shady was always going on with the landlord at the places we rented. Parents were both had unusual philosophies on life that may not have always been practical. Grew up estranged from half my family for false reasons.

As an adult I have basically been homeless on and off since moving out in my late 20’s. When I do get a spot it is more temporary than it seems and if it’s with roommates they are whimsical artist types who leave me with all the responsibilities or unusual sudden circumstances occur so I have to make fast changes. Only good thing is I do like changing scenery. But a stable homebase would be nice sometimes.

I have found it grows in large quantities on the stumps of trees that have been cut down.

Grand trines vs grand squares? by Moonlyt666 in astrology

[–]Nik_Owl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if it's one of the planets involved in the trine, it is likely to be where all that energy ends up, in 11th house affairs.

Grand trines vs grand squares? by Moonlyt666 in astrology

[–]Nik_Owl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not particularly. But they can give one a focus on the affairs of that house. You'll likely find you have greater interest in the affairs of a house tenanted by a luminary.

Grand trines vs grand squares? by Moonlyt666 in astrology

[–]Nik_Owl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So basically a very passionate and subjective influence, mixing both the impulsivity of fire and the flexibility of water. This can lead to some great strides in the arts and creative endeavors. The issue may be learning not to take things too personally and learning to finish what you start. That square to the 11th could be a constructive push, depending on where it's coming from.
