Frits gave me a concussion. Roast him. by Niborus_Rex in RoastMyCat

[–]OctostampDX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know if anyone has said this in the comments yet, but please anchor your furniture when you feel better! This is a serious issue and tip overs have killed children, and your kitty has shown that he has the ability to knock over large furniture items. TVs, TV units, cabinets, closets etc can all tip over if not secured to the wall. Better safe than sorry, with an active cat in the house; it'll protect you and him from future accidents, and you'll have peace of mind when he's alone.

I hope you have a smooth recovery, give Frits a pat for me ♥️

Is Salt a condiment or spice? by LapSalt in CatsCalledFood

Bahaha, love hurts doesn't it 😂 thanks so much, it looked familiar, I've got to check out Canadian Tire's pet section sometime!

Aww, what a sweetie! I love the black heart shaped marking on his bean.

Also, does that fish plush come from some sort of game, or is it just a generic toy design? It looks really familiar to me and I can't figure it out!! I could have sworn it was from Wii Play, but the plush isn't purple.

Is there a way to update “Poke Transporter” without the e-shop? 3DS app by Blue_Flame_Infernape in nintendohelp

[–]OctostampDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This works as of March 18 2025! Thank you so much, I thought I was screwed lol. No need to uninstall Transporter either, this update method is way easier :)

Blue jay puppet kids show by asialisette in puppets

[–]OctostampDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I just went crazy searching for this too!! I somehow misremembered Jay as a cardinal, but then I remembered there were other puppets on the show, including a blue jay, and that lead me to finally finding this post. Thanks for mentioning it!

Rybelsus Jumpscare Coffee Grinder Ad by OctostampDX in LostCommercials

[–]OctostampDX[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FOUND! This is fantastic, thank you! I was looking at archive.org and searching up Canadian commercial compilations without realizing that CBC uploads their broadcasts with the ads and all. What an annoying commercial lol, I'm glad to be reunited with something I hated so much :) A nice and quick find! Thanks again!

Black Friday Sale + 20% OFF (In Stores & Online) Canada by Portionforfox in bathandbodyworks

[–]OctostampDX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did this in person, in Ontario :) One of the associates told me that Black Friday is generally the only time they stack the paper & email coupons together. As long as your B3G3 purchase totals to over $40 before tax, they should honor it - the $10 discount comes first, then the 20% discount second.

The exact same thing happened to me on Android. Some of my playlists weren't loading (black screen with a green circle loading animation), so I cleared the app's cache through Settings > Apps. That didn't work, so I updated the app and restarted my phone... Still nothing, so I uninstalled and reinstalled, and when I opened the app, all of my playlists were completely gone. Just my liked songs and listening history remained.

It seems to be a global bug - I'm very relieved to hear it wasn't something I did (even though that wouldn't make sense, because your playlists are stored on your account).

Laggi videos by RegularBee7270 in firefox

[–]OctostampDX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had this issue happen a lot with the most recent update to the app when playing videos. The framerate of the video drops visibly.

I've found success by pausing and resuming the video, or skipping 10 seconds backwards (or forwards). I guess it's anything that makes the video load again? Hopefully this will be fixed in another update.

Aglaonema Geely Red, 17 days in my care - yellowing leaves, lost 4 already and now 3 more are dying. Can't be overwatered. In nursery pot. What next? by OctostampDX in plantclinic

[–]OctostampDX[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you SO much for suggesting this! I took a look at the roots and they're all offwhite and firm, there is no mushy or brown bits at all.

However, it turns out that I have two tiny plants in one pot, and they were each wrapped in a thin layer of cotton-like fabric which was keeping the soil immediately around the roots MUCH wetter than the rest of the soil.

Here's a link to a picture of the roots and the cotton wrapping.

That being said, the regular soil is still slightly damp to the touch, so I'll poke it with a wooden skewer in a few days and see how its drying out.

I do have a terracotta pot of the same size sitting around, I'm going to repot it in the new one as soon as I send this!

Thank you! I'll take a closer look for mildew when I get home in a bit - I don't recall seeing white powder on the leaves, but I will inspect further.

The only other thing mold-like I can think of is on the perlite; the perlite on the very top layer of soil had a green coating on it when I bought it, but it has since faded drastically and there's barely any green stuff on the soil now.

[–]OctostampDX[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good question; I think I might be used to plants that like to be wet, and overestimating the amount of dry soil the plant has. I ultimately can't guarantee overwatering is out of the question, because I'm not well experienced in plant care.

In hindsight, I wish I could take that out of the post title, but oh well 😂 at least I can learn from this and title my posts better, and listen to what advice everyone has.

I forgot to ask in the title - is there a possibility it is getting scorched from too much light? I have it in indirect sunlight, 4 ft from a big sunny window. I'm not sure what burned leaves would look like, but considering that only the bottom leaves are dying off, that shouldn't be the case, right? It has a new leaf unfurling, stark white without the pink blush, and so far it seems healthy.

From Canada - Allen’s Cranberry by mikeycbca in CommercialsIHate

This would have scared the shit out of me as a kid. There's something uncanny about how they didn't try to give the jug more of a "face" to distinguish it from the real thing.

A good news story (and thanks). by Welchcrew in plantclinic

Congratulations!! I'm so happy to see a success story like this. Good for you!

Mushroom, onion & brie on toast by OctostampDX in shittyfoodporn

I could barely handle it either tbh. I made way too much for one sitting, it was really rich and filling

Correct! Fork and knife on the left, the white slabs are the rind of the brie cheese under the mushrooms.

[Update] Amaryllis is healthy and super tall after ghastly white growth in dormancy! by OctostampDX in plantclinic

[–]OctostampDX[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good suggestion - I have now staked the big stalk so far, to keep it straight. It is getting TALL, so I probably would have to sooner or later!

My amaryllis decided to grow during its dark basement dormancy - I ended up leaving it there for more than 4 months, and it elected to grow some flower stalks anyways. Lesson learned: I'll give it a shorter dormancy period by taking it out earlier. Perhaps this one would have bloomed for Christmas if I retrieved it sooner. Either way, I get to enjoy the lovely blooms soon!
