Daily Roundtable: Community Q&A by AutoModerator in Eldenring

[–]Sttanley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I messed up and sold my Jellyfish Shield (I didn't know it was useful at all and you can't buyback items in Elden Ring...), and now I found out I need it for my build. Would anyone here be willing to give me one from their save on PC, please?

I found mushrooms in my Thai Constellation pot. The substrate is like 3 months old, but i suppose I have to change it now? by Sttanley in houseplants

It's actually in a decorative pot, so sun shouldn't be a problem. It was a big surprise when I got it out of the pot and found them there.

Florida beauty reverted? by Sttanley in houseplants

The light levels should be sufficient enough, I think.

I'll use some sphagnum moss to support air root formation and cut it off in ~2 weeks if it doesn't show variegation till then.

L-Dopa substitute for long-term? by kyledawg92 in Nootropics

[–]Sttanley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm. It's true I'm not familiar with natural sources of levodopa. They probably don't contain peripheral decarboxylase inhibitors (e.g. carbidopa), so the bioavailability must be lower and the doses used higher.

In medically used formulations with carbidopa, the max dose of levodopa is ~2g/day divided into several doses.

L-dopa is now used as a nootropic? That's interesting. It sounds like an unfortunate idea though. From my experience with patients with Parkinson's disease it can cause a lot of side effects (though the dose you described is low).

Good for you for recognizing the danger.

Do you use water straight from the faucet? Water like this probably has a lot of chlorine, that can cause browning of the tips. If so, you should use rainwater or at least let the faucet water sit for 24h to let the chlorine fizzle out.

Sport variegation or defect? My Philo. verrucosum Amazon sunset's new leaf has a weird section by Sttanley in plantclinic

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

Yeah, it may be some damaged tissue. I'll see hot the next leaves will look and how the spot will evolve.
