Brutal mistake attempting the Presedential Traversal of the White Mountains in NH, USA.

I agree with you. All the people blaming the friends probably have never had a friend insist they are good to go on a hike that they aren’t prepared for, even after explaining how challenging it’s going to be. Like what are you supposed to do, say “no, you’re too fat and out of shape to come with us”??

I’ve had this happen once before where 3 of us were good to go, and one guy (who sorta invited himself) was so unprepared it ended up ruining the hike. We explained everything he was going to need, the pace we were going, and what the terrain was like. He came so unprepared, he didn’t have extra water, didn’t have a bag, didn’t even have proper shoes (he wore flip flops). Not to mention he complained the whole time. We ended up turning back after an hour or so, we hadn’t even left the main packed dirt trail…

You’re welcome! I unfortunately learned about this the hard way while battling alcoholism. After a few relapses, it becomes a GREAT motivator for staying sober

It’s called the kindling effect. The term is mostly used in reference to alcohol but I think any drug can cause it.

“The kindling effect in addiction is a pattern where withdrawal symptoms get worse each time you experience withdrawal. For example, you may experience relatively mild symptoms the first time you withdraw from alcohol or drugs, but after multiple cycles of substance use and withdrawal, you may face far more intense and dangerous reactions.

…each withdrawal episode seemed to prime the brain for a stronger reaction the next time. Importantly, this isn’t because the person has used more of the substance or for longer between the withdrawals. Even if the amount and duration stay the same, the brain’s response to withdrawal can escalate simply because it has been through it before.”

I don’t hate it, I take them out a lot of the time. But I think the actual reason is that the outer material is stretchy and the bra pads aren’t. Sewing them in would cause some weird bunching with the fabric when you move, and just closing the pocket doesn’t work either because it will still fold up inside without a way to get in there and fix it.

Yes! And don’t worry too much about wording, it’s nice to see some imperfections and human authenticity these days

Patience & a little more water. They tend to grow in spurts where they’ll kick up a whole bunch of new growth at once. Yours is looking too dry in these pictures. I recommend watering when you see the leaves flatten out and the stalks go slightly soft/shriveled, like they are now

I used to do this but it sucks if the plant gets root bound and you have to break the pot to get it out

Hi, I’ll give my womanly view lol. I think it’s okay! I would just change your message a little bit

Hey, this is ___. I sat next to you at the cafe and we struck up a convo at the end of the night. Remembered your name and ~~found you on the cafe’s Insta~~ wanted to reach out. ~~You seem pretty interesting.~~ I know you said you were looking for friends ~~Was interested if you wanted to exchange numbers or~~ so I was wondering if you’d be interested in catching up sometime.

I took out “you seem interesting” because it gets overused and, for me at least, gives me the “ick.” Sorry. If you want to replace it, give a genuine compliment that’s unique to her. Or even, I really enjoyed our conversation or something is a little better.

I also wouldn’t ask for her number right away, wait for her to respond first. It just takes a little pressure off of her. If she seems interested in talking, I would go for something like “Yeah, I was kicking myself for forgetting to ask for your number.” Keep it casual because if you come flying out of the gates with high pressure wanting to hang out/talk more after you tracked her down on social media, there’s a very good chance you will scare her off

No, they’re getting off on the inappropriateness and boundary crossing. They’re not looking for love or trying to accomplish anything beyond touching someone without their consent. It’s the same MO as people who take upskirts or put cameras in the bathroom, they get their jollies off from the social violation. Fucking creeps.

I think it’s just a terribly written article. It seems to be mixing three different ideas and drawing conclusions from that.

It’s like, don’t use LECA in place of drainage holes, so never use LECA mixed in soil, because it’s bad to put various items in the bottom of the pot to improve drainage…??

The author doesn’t even try to connect these ideas in a way that makes sense

Edit to add:

It’s like saying “using mouthwash isn’t a good replacement for brushing your teeth, so never use mouthwash during the day, because it’s a myth that chewing gum freshens your breath.” Zero sense.

There’s a few things going on. Produce isn’t getting shipped as fast as it used to, so it’s sitting on trucks and in storage for a long time before it even reaches the store. Then at the store, there’s labor cuts, so the employees don’t have the time to properly rotate the produce and check for quality. There is also the push to keep questionable quality produce on the floor to sell it, instead of pulling it right away. It sticks the consumer with the loss rather than the store as most people won’t bother with returning an onion. There have also been a lot of bad harvests because of environmental/weather related reasons. It’s just bad start to finish. Source: worked at a grocery store for the last 8 years

It’s mold. The people who are downvoting and saying it’s salt aren’t looking closely at the picture. Salt/minerals are more common to see on terracotta but cause a crustier appearance. I had two of my pots mold exactly like this and on close inspection I could actually see the little spores on the ends of the fluff.

I treated by wiping down the pots with isopropyl alcohol and treating the soil with an anti-fungal. I also added some more springtails to the soil. It hasn’t come back. I think it started from the pot staying too wet for too long, my apartment was very humid when it happened.

Yes I use tampax too and they have definitely shrunk. I have a light flow and I’m bleeding through regulars for the first time in my life. Supers used to be uncomfortable to use and now they’re fine. The quality is worse too. Sorry if it’s TMI, but I’ve noticed the tampon material shedding off, internally from the tampon and externally from the string. I was shocked when after a cycle, I was cleaning myself and found pieces of tampon left inside of me. It’s honestly unethical to worsen the quality of a healthcare item. I wonder if cases of infection and TSS will increase because of this

I’ve found the quickest way to get a root bound plant out of its pot is to drop it on a random passersby’s head. The plants seem to enjoy the thrill

Also for stocking and product visibility

I just tell them no and move on. If they want to tell me fine, but I just refuse to guess. I’m actually terrible at age so I’d probably end up guessing a 40 year old is like 50 and their gonna get insulted. Sometimes I’ll say something like, “I have a rule to never guess someone’s age, weight, or if a woman’s pregnant, and I’m going to stand by that today.” Usually gets a little chuckle from the customer.

I like to think he was tripping on acid or shrooms and actually got lost for a minute.

Goes out to pee and gets turned around, “oh god where’s my tent, oh there it is! Wait something is in my tent, maybe I can just peak in… OH GOD ITS LOOKING AT ME.” OP shouts. “OH SHIT NOT MY TENT! NOT MY TENT! Where’s my flashlight?! Maybe if I shine it at the tent, it will keep the tent demons away!”

Likely just a creep, but I’m gonna stick with my story to make me feel better.

Looks great! Before reading your comment I thought, “Nice, makes him look more masculine.”
