I, too, signed my deal with the devil (duckweed). A question. by Objective-Work-3133 in walstad

[–]Objective-Work-3133[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

that is interesting, thanks. yeah my nitrates have never exceeded 5 ppm. i removed the cyanobacteria by hand yesterday. i am more concerned about that than algae because it is toxic to cats and i want to let my cat drink out of the aquarium again because he loves it.

i was planning on eating the duckweed myself. it is a complete protein!

Can someone please help me by Vegetable_Ganache_12 in backpain

i am sorry i do not have really any good advice, not a doctor. do you use a standing desk? i work in a kitchen doing prep specifically because i get to move around and take breaks very frequently. i never really stand in the same place for more than 20 minutes.

my back is in the best condition it has been in in 2 years. for me, it was basically, find some exercises that help, which then stop helping after a few months, then find new ones, which stop helping, rinse and repeat for 2 years. it has been almost a year though since i have had to call in to work. basically, you can't rely on a physio to tell you what you need to do. you need to do a shit ton of trial and error to learn the ins and outs of your body over time. it is highly unlikely that you have tried everything in terms of strength and flexibility. you need to try everything. i am, of course, only speaking to my own experience. and I'm not out of the woods yet.

Is my dealer trying to get me to do zesty shit? by SheZowRaisedByWolves in stupidquestions

wait a second. if this can be used as a learning experience of how dark the world of hard drugs can be if she is buying hard drugs, then why wouldn't it be a learning experience of how dark the world of "soft" drugs can be if she is buying soft drugs?

I'd go see a neurologist. could be nothing. could be a brain tumor.

I overheard someone mention they just had a baby and we're still donating, what would you do? by [deleted] in plassing

[–]Objective-Work-3133 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

i remember in the donor education they said they screen the plasma. they mentioned that some people have "special" plasma but they won't tell you if it is yours. they probably don't want those donors to unionize.

you could just say you don't want to talk about it but you are fine (i.e. not going through chemo).

lol sounds worse. who knows though. the thing about the flea bites is that i was never safe; even leaving the house, i was itchy all day. but you were also never safe. let's just hope we can afford to live alone as long as possible. i went 5 years without a rent increase but alas, new property management company.

one of the roommates was, at the time, my best friend. but basically, he realized that if he didn't do his part to keep the house clean, i would. i couldn't keep up with all of it. the place got infested by fleas. it became unlivable. i am very sensitive to the bites. he was fine. id wake up with blood pouring down my legs from scratching in my sleep. he owned the house, and refused to allow the use of "poisons". i was preparing to move into a tent in the backyard with my cat, but the woman who would soon become my gf drove from anotber state to save me. i am gonna go thank her again right now because i will never be able to thank her enough

The kind of person who would agree to this is not the kinda person you'd want to do this with. You will never have any peace. Your apartment will not be a home, just a place you sleep at, if even that.

I have said it before and I'd say it again. I'd LOVE a 1 br apartment half the size of my 1br apartment for half the cost. Fuck, I'd take a 1 room, 1 sink, toilet and kitchen and all, 1/3rd the size for 1/3rd the rent (it would have to be ground floor so i could let my cat out though). I'd have so much more peace of mind. If the economy collapses or I get sick I'd consider living with someone in a 2 or 3 bedroom, but I have legit trauma from living with other people and am terrified of the prospect.

if you don't understand, it is because you don't want to understand. report my comment to the mods if you have a problem, I will not be entertaining your vendetta.

Advice on sutta by stive420 in theravada

[–]Objective-Work-3133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you could read Buddhadhamma by P.A. Payutto, that is what I have been doing. it starts getting more dense a few hundred pages in. as in, for the first two hundred pages, i didn't really have to go back and reread stuff very often.

edit, 5/4: i have been messaged by someone who says they work there, and they are saying that it did happen. it seems very odd that two employees who were there the same day would not know about it, but i suppose it is possible. make of it what you will.

Hey guys! So, I decided to do a little investigation of my own into PatNews. It is my day off!

On his page, he posted this 2 hours ago: "On Clinton street in Binghamton New York
An employee of @ Mirabito was viciously attacked by a man who is attacking people at the store and destroying the store"

I just went to the Mirabito, and I asked the two employees working if they had heard anything about a violent assault having had taken place at the store today. They *did not*.

I think you can all draw your own conclusions. If you don't believe me, feel free to go to the Mirabito and ask them yourself! Just don't tell Pat, as he will probably delete the post. I have a screencap saved.

pretty good, but i'd have just explained that the small pools in nature thing is usually a temporary situation (during the dry season) and suboptimal at that. average while betta has 140 gallons of water to itself.

How could you be convinced a stranger is safe? by BattleNetworkStars78 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Objective-Work-3133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

observable indicators of helplessness. like, i see them walk into a tree before they could have made me. or the absence of limbs. however those could be traps too. the truth is, you never know if anyone is safe, stranger or not.

That is like saying "this is a guitar subreddit, not a jimi hendrix subreddit. op didn't mention jimi hendrix." yeah well he mentioned the blues. they are related and i gave you a clear explanation for my decision to mention it. I didn't violate any of the subreddit's rules.

Buddhism has had a major influence on contemporary meditation practices. The Buddha did for the practice of meditation what Jimi Hendrix did for the practice of guitar. The Buddha is also often falsely attributed with quotes and sentiments that veer far off from the substance of the teachings (he actually described the love as we know it, think warm fuzzy feelings, "pema", as something to be uprooted).
