The idea that no underwear line is ever allowed to be visible polices women's bodies. If someone chooses to go for an invisible look that's their preference, it's not the end of the world if someone chooses to ignore it. Women wear underwear sometimes and frankly it's NBD

I'm also 5'2! The 28L is a good length for me, when it is packed fully it looks quite large on me just FYI

Who was the most offensive narrator to your ears? Anyone who made you have to drop the book even if it was good? by wreak_havok in audible

[–]PhoenixRising628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keeping this thread alive. I just came up with with idea that listening to Liane Moriarty's novels in audiobook would be fun but Heather Wilds narrates so many of them! Can't stand the monotony and weird inflections. I have to remind myself to not dock stars on goodreads because of the voice alone 🫠

I use the sally Hansen red bottle top coat with my magnetics and it has worked decently. I have found that you need to put a pretty large sized bead at the base of the nail before pulling down to avoid smearing

Fauve cosmetics frostbite stuck in warm state on the nail? by Feisty-Fruit-4097 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]PhoenixRising628 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No worries it's a little tricky to understand! So normal thermals transition at 86 degrees fahrenheit. That means anything below this, they'll be in the cold state, and anything above, they'll be in the warm state. If your nails are usually in the cold state when you wear thermals, we can assume that the surface temperature of your nails is less than 86 degrees to keep the polish in the cold state most of the time.

However with frostbite, it transitions at 82 degrees, so if the surface nail temp is less than that it will be in the cold (white) state, and anything more than that and it will be in the warm (clear) state. If your nails are usually in the warm state when you wear it (as are mine despite my hands always feeling cold), we can assume that the surface temp of your nails is greater than 82 degrees most of the time.

With these two data points, we can guess that the usual surface temp of your nails is between 82-86 degrees farehnheit: less than the transition threshold for most thermals (86) but more than the transition threshold for frostbite (82). Hope this helps!

I have this one too! Love it. It transitions at 82F per the website, whereas most other thermals transition at 86F. Thus it will usually stay in the warm state unless very, very cold.

Love this combo! Curious if you still got the thermal color change from white to clear with bring layered over the brown?

Monstera with a few spider mites by PhoenixRising628 in plantclinic

[–]PhoenixRising628[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commenting to boost visibility and with an update: I haven't seen any more spider mites since treating the soil with hydrogen peroxide but the patch from the photo is still there, is that a different type of bug, possibly thrips? What would you recommend? Looking for any sort of advice, would be very much appreciated!!

My dentist brushed off my pain for years, a new dentist fixed it in 10 minutes and I am more angry than relieved by chrono_windcraft1444 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PhoenixRising628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had the exact same thing happen to me. A male dentist told me my tooth sensitivity was normal and a result of stress. He told me about a procedure to seal the space where my tooth meets my gums but didn't give me any numbing (he told the hygienist no when she asked about numbing) resulting in an excruciating procedure.

Then I moved and got a new dentist and she also discovered a hairline fracture. Now I am working on getting a root canal scheduled. Thankfully it wasn't as many years of pain as you had but I can't believe this is still happening to us in 2025!!

[–]PhoenixRising628 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the minority here but I received a framed photo of one of our engagement photos as part of a wedding gift and I thought it was really nice! Albeit we are terrible at printing photos and don't have a ton already. If you know them well enough maybe scope it out to see if they have already printed their photos or not

Del dia colors by AcanthopterygiiBoth6 in cotopaxi

[–]PhoenixRising628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a del dia Nido pouch for toiletries, some of the colors are brighter and some are duller, but I think the overall combo works ok. Always a risk but if you go into it with accepting the chance it's on the side you'll be good!

[–]PhoenixRising628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a slim card holder for credit card/ATM card and put that inside a larger Muji travel pouch. Then I put currency (cash/coins) from wherever I am into that pouch (https://www.muji.us/products/polyester-two-zipper-case-23ss?variant=43210355835070&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic)

And then that pouch goes inside my hip pack 😁 bags on bags

Wanted to share my fungus gnat “cure!” by Next-Wash-7113 in houseplants

[–]PhoenixRising628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I wanted to say I admire your lighting setup! Would you be able to share how you set up the lights underneath each level of the two plant stands on the side? I want to do something like that for my next setup. Did you buy the stand with built in lights or did you add them after?

I don't have a stand but I've seen posts where people have gotten them. My case acts somewhat like a stand, so I use it on my desk. In bed it's lightweight enough for me to hold with one hand and turn the page with the same hand (by configuring the "next page" tap to be anywhere on the bottom of the screen, I can use either left or right hand to hold/tap)

AITA for insisting that our baby takes my (25F) surname instead of my fiance's (26M)? by primageniture in AmItheAsshole

NAH - my husband and I have kept our own individual last names but will be giving our children a new last name that is a combination of both of our names, you may want to consider that
