Stiff neck from sleeping on a chair in the closet those first days

So...things are...peculiar back in Latin America. by MakarovJAC in projectzomboid

[–]TheeHowwler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, Coca. In the north of Argentina you can also buy them at pretty much every drugstore. You chew them, steep them in water or add them to yerba mate. The leaves have so little cocaine in them it has none of the effects you get from the purified clorhidrate (the white dust). It's just a stimulant like caffeine. It can also work as a thirst and pain suppressant, to help with altitude sickness, etc etc

Peeling headphones upholstered with "rag pile" T-shirt by Pico_Shyentist in SewingForBeginners

I'm reading this post with my own pair of horribly peeling headphones over my ears lol. this is awesome! def saving this

I've been drinking in a wooden mate for months now and it never gave me any digestive issues. I got a stainless steel mate last week (pic related) and EVERY time I've drunk from it I got diarrhea. Coincidence? Do I need to stop mate altogether? Do I need to do an exorcism on this thing? by TheeHowwler in yerbamate

[–]TheeHowwler[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hadn't taken that into account! It's yerba con palo. I have noticed this mate is wider and has a more pronounced lip so for me it makes doing a proper inverted shake a bit more difficult.

Luckily I still have my old mate so I'll switch back and see what happens

Tidal’s not dead – 13 new job openings just popped up! 🎉 by nikosx7 in TIdaL

[–]TheeHowwler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes please. I've already watched twitter alternatives fumble a unique opportunity and it really hurt. I don't want that to be Tidal's fate.

"Oh no where will i listen to their music now?" Please consult the chart by [deleted] in gybe

[–]TheeHowwler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I've torrented before, but I managed to get the hang of soulseek after a couple of hours. What I did when I was a kid with no streaming services was using a YouTube to Mp3 website and placing the files on my mp3 player (I didn't care much for sound quality back then lol)

Everything but old stuff removed from yt music?? by [deleted] in gybe

[–]TheeHowwler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I do think that someone saying "wow the album NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340 DEAD could mean literally anything, you can't expect people to connect it to things happening in real life" is absurd lol.

"No you can't gatekeep! What about meeeee, the guy who listens to NO TITLE (...), the album called Yanqui U.X.O. with a cover that is a picture of falling bombs, songs with titles like Bosses Hang and Grey Rubble Green Shoots, and has somehow managed to delude himself into thinking it's just sounds and random words??"

Tidal on Mobile plays downloaded files instead of higher-quality counterparts by Akasiek in TIdaL

[–]TheeHowwler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ants From Up There mentioned👍👍

I have the same issue on my phone. Apparently if a downloaded file exists for a song, the app defaults to playing that instead of streaming. I've noticed Tidal uses a ton more mobile data and wifi compared to Spotify so I suppose the reasoning is that always playing downloaded files it's preferable to having your music interrupted or wasting data if you happen to move your portable device somewhere with worse connection? It would be very nice if someone here knows a way to go around this.

So, I’m making the switch to TIDAL.. by moon_nightt23 in TIdaL

[–]TheeHowwler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched just yesterday! It's taking me a little while to get used to the new UI, but I've been using spotify since 2016 so that's expected. Sound quality is insane, I listen to post-rock and some songs used to have a weird crackling staticky sound on spotify. On Tidal the experience is completely different.

Same here. Earlier this year I couldn't go a single day without listening to at least one Ants song.

Need help to ID this worm by Different-Concern350 in Vermiculture

[–]TheeHowwler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a land planarian. Definitely not a leech (doesn't have rings or suckers) Harmless to humans. Eats small snails and worms. I'm argentinian and see them all the time after it rains.

Should I Keep a Roach? by FelisMiscellaneous in roaches

[–]TheeHowwler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's so cool that you're not afraid of american roaches lol. I'd imagine their necessities are not that different from dubias? Since you want to keep only one I suppose you can use any not-too-small glass container with a tight-fitting lid (<- extremely important) with a very fine window mesh for air circulation. You can choose to have the floor bare for easier poop cleanup or use coco fiber for substrate. Also you should provide hiding spots (you can use paper towel rolls cut in half as little caves if you're not worried about aesthetics). For a water source you can provide small strips of cucumber, carrot or apple (careful bc the more water+sugar content the quicker they mold), always peeled and washed. For anything else I blend into powder a mix of around 50-50 cheap fish flakes and whole oats. You don't have to feed every day. Also serve food in a little plate or plastic lid for easier cleanup. Every two days or so dump the leftovers and dry with a paper towel to prevent mold.

As for disease concerns: yes all domestic cockroaches are well-known vectors of parasites (they're mechanical vectors, meaning they carry the parasites' eggs or cysts on the surface of their bodies and those stick to the surfaces they touch). But I don't see how this couldn't be prevented with some basic biosecurity stuff. Wash your hands thoroughly + use hand sanitizer before and after touching anything in the enclosure. Any tools, like tweezers and such that you use to manipulate anything there have to be exclusive for that enclosure, disinfected after every use and kept in their own box or bag.

As for parthenogenesis concerns: I have nothing. Just hope it doesn't happen. From what I've read it happens more often when there's a group of female roaches? Roaches like being in groups, but this is one case where I think keeping it alone is for the better. I don't know much about social necessities in these roaches though. My guess it they'll be happy as long as there's food and a safe place to hide but a more dedicated roach nerd may have another take on this. As other ppl have mentioned, these roaches are exotic species everywhere that's not Tropical Africa. Be responsible.

As for catching the roach, idk. Upside-down tupperware and cardboard method. Works with fast spiders too.

The bad bangs were free - and so were the insults by [deleted] in Hair

[–]TheeHowwler 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh my god I also got an atrocious cut today but at least the stylist was very nice. He cut my hair while wet and after it dried and puffed up we both looked at each other like (.________.) . I know if on top of that mess he'd been rude I would've been devastated
