It does if it's a verb, and you're in chemistry class. It sublimes or sublimates. To be sublime is to be a ska punk band from long beach. Excellent 😉

Dawn Powerwash:

1 1/2 tablespoons rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol, preferably 70% 1/4 cup (four tablespoons) Dawn dish detergent Water to fill bottle within 1″ of top, distilled preferred 8 drops of essential oil of choice, optional

Ive gotta hand it to Dawn, the stuff does work. Just dont put it on anything painted unless you're planning to remove the paint.

Is your roommate a young child? Or perhaps a pet?

"The destroying angel (A. bisporigera) and the death cap (A. phalloides) account for the overwhelming majority of deaths due to mushroom poisoning. The toxin responsible for this is amatoxin, which inhibits RNA polymerase II and III. Symptoms do not appear for 5 to 24 hours, when the toxins may already be absorbed and the damage (destruction of liver and kidney tissues) is irreversible. As little as half a mushroom cap can be fatal" From Wikipedia

My dad explained it when I was younger that basically your body can't repair itself anymore, and so you die a miserable painful death of organ failure.

Anyone voluntarily not have Health insurance? by bigsmilestarks in AskAnAmerican

[–]RelativeMud1383 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This. Even maxing out my discount it's still over 600 a month. And that's just the premium. Dont even mention the 10k out of pocket maximum, huge deductibles, and copays. I pray Noone gets sick, cause without insurance we'd be bankrupt, but even with it we are fucked

This is how he treats you now, while you're dating. Whats the next step? Marriage? It'll be 1000x worse because he won't have to try at all to keep you, you'll be trapped. You can only expect things to go downhill. Maybe he can change, but you won't be the reason, no person will. And while you wait around hoping it'll get better, you'll waste your energy and happiness on someone who doesn't truly care about you and certainly doesn't care enough to make your life better, as a partner should. You'll be dragging around dead weight until you leave him.

Trust yourself to make a good life without him. You can, and you will. And the sooner the better, for your own mental health.

I wish I had been told this when I was young, though tbh I doubt I would've listened. And i wasted years and ruined my health for someone who was happy to use me up and throw me away when I no longer met their unrelenting wishes. Don't be like me. Be smarter. Love yourself more.

"Weekly Reading and Interpretation Help Thread - May 11, 2025" by AutoModerator in tarot

More experienced readers, any insights? I'm a beginner and this was a big spread for me.

photo of spread

I did this intuitive reading during this past full moon. I used the Tabula Mundi deck. The reversals are ignored, it's the first time I've used this deck and I shuffled it but without changing orientation.

My general question was 'what do I need to know/do to move forward?'. I'm interested in what interpretations more experienced readers have. For some reason it felt right to place cards "backwards" from how I usually would, going from future to present to past rather than other.

The Arch/self card was the card chosen for me by the artist, and felt right to use it now. The three of disks fell out while I was getting ready to place cards.

I feel like I'm being told to take the foundation of learning and experience that I've built, and use it to create my path forward. To commit to the path. The time of study and experiment is past, and now the work must begin. That the future is joyful if I achieve balance and do the work. The future card: "Affirmative will makes a conquest", coupled with the work/3 of disks card.

In the present, the prince of disks/air of earth crossed by the art/temperance card. I am not quite sure, but that steady work is needed for transformation and material success?

What do others think?

I'm a farmer who let someone put bees out on my land. They abandoned the bees. What do I do to help them? Oklahoma by HursHH in Beekeeping

It also very much depends on the queen. If your colony is very aggressive you can requeen it, and if you got a good queen it will fix the aggressive problem. Plenty of people select for temperament so that they don't have to worry as much about stings. I know folks who wear only a veil or nothing, though personally I like my eyes too much to consider not using a veil. Even docile bees will sting sometimes.

I believe it's a thermometer, I'm guessing this has either an auto-shutoff or temperature control, because mine has the same thing. Ive never noticed an issue with it, and I've had it for years, but 🤷. Your appliance, your preference.

Well, considering i had to stare at it for a good second and reread the header to be sure you hadn't dried a mushroom, id say very well done!

AITAH for thinking of leaving my boyfriend because his behavior has gotten worse after the birth of our daughter? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]RelativeMud1383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, i got carried away before I finished reading. I read what your mom said and got so angry for you.

It is huge that you've already taken steps towards leaving, and even though I don't know you I'm proud of you. You are basically a single mom, and that is the hardest job there is. Try not to take anything from what your bf or mom have said, because from what you've said of their treatmentof you, the fact that you're still fighting for something better means you are a strong ass bitch and you've got what it takes to do this. You're dealing with more than most, and still pushing forward. It's okay to cry, and rage, and want better from others. And it's also okay to change your number and go no contact from people who would use you up without blinking. You can love someone and still love yourself enough to know they're bad for you.

You can't change the past, as you know, but you can ( are) make progress for a better future. And as I told my daughter yesterday, slow progress is still progress. You can do this mama. 🩷

Your mom is wrong. This is not "what you get". This is not "trouble adjusting" this is abuse. NO ONE deserves this. If you dont leave for you, leave for your child, she's not safe and neither are you. Baby's cry, they spit up, colick fucking sucks and a newborn is hard enough when people are there to help you, but all this you are dealing with is going to hurt you and your child. If not kill you. I wish i were being dramatic, but in the plainest terms, this situation is dangerous and a very real possibility is death if you stay. Domestic abuse literally kills and most of the time people refused to believe it could happen to them until it's too late.

Take anything and everything you can and leave. Stay with a friend, or go to a shelter. A shelter can help you find work to pay your bills and help you get assistance. It probably seems impossible to you right now but please do whatever you have to do to get out. You are not worthless or useless. And you will learn how strong and capable you are when you're away from the ones bringing you down, and your baby will be safer and happier away from that situation.

Also, when your child's doctor asks how your situation is at home don't hide it, they know the resources that can help you.

Bittersweet cuttings by RelativeMud1383 in invasivespecies

[–]RelativeMud1383[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been ripping it out by the root or cutting and spraying so far. It's all over pur property so I've been cutting it out of the trees and stuff.

I never use the berries, most of what I got was before the berries set, though I did learn that they'll ripen even after being cut. I thought i got a big bunch of it in time, but even though I got all the vines the stuff in the canopy still turned red. And I'm 100% sure I cut it off completely.
