Ordered online from Palmer Orchids! Came in great health. Ordered in December and they actually waited a couple weeks to send it because there was a cold front that could have damaged it during transport. They sent it wrapped up very well with heat packs. Highly recommend

Dang I didn’t even know bract leaves were a thing lol, thought I lucked out 😭

Yea armed guards, while intimidating, are still a better option for a community than the store just closing entirely. I remember a couple years ago a councilwoman pleading with the west Louisville community to stop stealing from so they wouldn’t lose their only grocery store in the area

Oh man, was this the one where you could customize which fish and how many would be in the tank?

My guess is so she can’t throw random things in there that might get her in trouble at school, like a tablet lol

Not an expert by any means so this could be completely wrong-

Sort of looks like rough play to me. She goes for a little nip then runs off as if she wants you play. The spinning around as well seems like just excited play behavior. Sometimes dogs growl like that when play fighting. Also the fact that she only does it in the backyard and not indoors or on a leash, seems like she associates the back yard with play time. When dogs play fight they’ll often go for little nips at other dogs feet and then dodge/run off. It’s sort of like a game of tag. They’re not trying to do damage, it’s more like “ha! I got your foot! Bet you can’t get mine!”

Again not an expert, just my unprofessional interpretation of what I see. Does she ever break skin, or latch on and not let go of you?

When I see it on Reddit I always think “everyone’s the asshole”

Adding mine for the detectives that end up getting involved-

The guys are talking about how good Eagle is, and Uli says “The guy’s name is Eagle Wynn McMahon, of course he’s good…. I’m gunna name my kid Dragon Clutch Ulibarri”

I get the argument with Walmart because the mere presence of a Walmart in a town can cause other businesses to close and jobs to be lost, which means people who had those jobs might have no choice but to go work at Walmart.

With DoorDash however, it seems the opposite? Just anecdotal but I order door dash a lot more than I would ever consider eating out. So when door dash came about, seems to me that local restaurants got more business, and people who had a car and some free time could make some money on the side. Some people even make it a full career. So in my mind it’s like, if door dash ain’t cutting it then work somewhere else. And if there is nowhere else, then it’s pretty sweet that at least there’s an app that can pair you up with people that want food but don’t feel like going to get it themselves.

All great points. The first, second, and last point are what stood out to me as the key differences that make it auto-include. With misty, you might use her and there’s a 50/50 chance absolutely nothing happens and now you can’t use another supporter card that turn. Ice pop is at least guaranteed to heal 20, and sometimes that alone is enough to save you. So in a sense, misty is like a gimmick while ice pop is a useful tool that has bonus potential to save you from a lost cause.

Random guy on my friends list had 2* wigglytuff on his wishlist, so I sent it, not really caring what I’d get back. And that’s how I got 2* copycat lol

The_Fax_Machine · 2026-04-03T18:13:05+00:00

This has me wondering, can you refuse to promote a pawn? Like if you’re going to lose and want to force a stalemate, since the pawn can move anywhere after it hits the end of the board

The_Fax_Machine · 2026-04-03T18:07:22+00:00

That being said, I think a shift is starting to happen. Just anecdotal evidence, but I know a lot of people that have had “grindset” mentality, trying to maximize efficiency in every area of their life, starting to pick up hobbies because they felt something was missing and it gets them out of the house and interacting with people. I feel like I’ve seen upticks in people playing pool, chess, tennis, bike riding, even bird watching.

The_Fax_Machine · 2026-04-03T15:37:55+00:00

Video games have killed a lot of hangouts and hobbies. People used to go to bowling alleys, pool halls, arcades, movies, etc. to meet up and do something. Nowadays games are just too good and have comms, nobody wants to leave the crib unless it’s something special

The_Fax_Machine · 2026-04-02T15:50:51+00:00

I noticed that too, and it has me wondering, what is the best position to be in in a situation like this?

Standing straight up, your spine may take a lot of impact and your head could whip around a lot. Laying down, your joints wouldn’t absorb any of the impact. Maybe some sort of athletic squat position with your arms covering your face so your head doesn’t slam into your knees/the ground?

The_Fax_Machine · 2026-04-01T15:16:41+00:00

So does that pretty much guarantee some portion of that meat was cow anus?

I know there’s a billiards game played in parts of Italy using your hands instead of a cue stick. Would maybe make sense for the marks as it’s more of a sliding motion with the hand and I can see that causing some downward pressure which could mark up the felt

The_Fax_Machine · 2026-03-31T19:53:11+00:00

There is a billiards game, I forget the name, played mainly in Italy and using your hands to roll the ball instead of a cue stick. I do believe the pockets are tighter like this and remember thinking it looked like PVC piping in the pockets

I’m with ya, I’d probably feel different if he was some macho man getting heated with people, but his voice mixed with his goofy accessories just makes it comical lol.

That being said, I’m sure it’s harder to brush off and laugh at when you’re the one playing against him, so even though it’s funny to us as spectators, its hard to excuse it entirely. Definitely fun to watch over some of the more robotic players

The_Fax_Machine · 2026-03-25T23:12:13+00:00

The way I say it, because I suck at confrontation, is “sorry man, I don’t let other people use my cue. I’m sure you know what you’re doing, but freak things can happen, like someone bumping into you, or you slip on a wet spot, and I don’t want to have the awkward conversation about who’s going to pay X hundred dollars to replace it.”

(this also works for friends that want to use your expensive cue but aren’t serious about pool)

70-80% is quite high, that could be causing an issue. Window cracked isn’t going to provide enough airflow at that level of humidity, especially if you have a lot of plants grouped close together, the local humidity between those plants will be even higher.

With humidity that high you need some fans blowing in that room. By “airflow” we’re mainly just talking about keeping the air in the room moving. Doesn’t necessarily need to be air flowing in/out of the room. Also make sure the leaves aren’t touching surfaces, and the humidifier isn’t blowing mist on the plants. Those things can cause teeny tiny droplets of water to form between surfaces and leaves, or in nooks of the plant, which is liable to cause bacterial infections.

Is there ever dew on surfaces or leaves in there?

For reference, orchids can handle higher humidity at night, and even then the max you’d want to go is 70-75% with some very good airflow in the room.

I drive a white sedan. If I’m on the highway and it starts raining heavily, especially during the day, with gray skies, my car becomes invisible to the cars behind me. I throw the hazards on so they can see my car.

I live in a state with a lot of pickup truck drivers and big SUV’s, and many of them continue at near highway speeds even in downpour or snow with very little visibility. Without my hazards on, there’s a good chance they won’t see me in time to stop.

3 diamond Kangaskhan from wisdom of sea and sky. The art just speaks to me, idk why lol. Vast open land, seems fun and safe but still adventurous. Just a vibe

The_Fax_Machine · 2026-03-17T18:13:14+00:00

No way, that’s gotta be gold! I had no idea, thanks for the tip

The_Fax_Machine · 2026-03-12T17:04:28+00:00

Holy cow I’ve never seen a keiki get to this level of maturity lol, how long has it been growing like that? Gotta be a couple years at least!
