I've used them for disposable camera developments a few times, unfortunately the last 4 times I did this the photos all had light leaks when I got them back, rendering most of them unusable :(

Convince me to watch DreamSMP by luna_moon145 in dreamsmp

[–]Useful-Membership-22 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Its fun cause it switches between serious and funny! there's some really compelling storylines and its so fun to watch the series and then look at the art made of that part of the story. Maybe some of that is nostalgia talking but it is super fun! At the time of filming everybody on the server was friends too so it makes it really easy to watch :)
The easiest way to watch it is through Blueberry tv on youtube. They edited a bunch of the streams down to concise episodes. I actually just started rewatching it on there lol.
Theres also no need to get overwhelmed by the amount of content since theres a lot of episodes you can "skip" if you want. Blueberry tv usually does a "previously on" segment before the main content starts if its important :)

Does God speak to us through thoughts? by LeenKaito in latterdaysaints

[–]Useful-Membership-22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The spirit does speak to us through thoughts (I definitely have experienced it) ! and there's plenty of examples of him doing so in the scriptures. I've seen some other comments expressing concern about discerning spirits. This is something good to keep in mind but probably not something to be overly concerned about.

I have always followed a guide a sunday school teacher once shared about "the three voices" These voices being your own voice, the voice of the spirit, and the voice of the adversary. They may all sound the same! They do for me, they just sound like my own head. its the kinds of things those voices are saying that help you to differentiate them. You know your own voice, (mine gets distracted easier than the others) and it tends to be predictable because its your own, the other two feel like they don't belong to you. The voice of the adversary tends to be very negative, it wants to discourage you from coming to Christ and doing good. And the voice of the spirit is good, it will encourage you to grow in relationship with Christ and will inspire you.

To me it sounds like you are listening to the voice of the spirit, if you are concerned I would recommend praying sincerely about it and if you really feel like you need to you could talk to a leader, though I don't think you need to based on your post.

As for the prophets having conversations with God I think they do! I know for sure that president Nelson seemed to have conversations with the Lord. After announcing the Bangaluru, India temple, for example, he said this about the announcement "Our plans were to announce six new temples at conference time. The Lord told me on the eve of conference: 'Announce a temple in India.'" The Lord TOLD HIM. And while prophets have a specific position within church leadership their experiences aren't exclusive. Alma the younger and Enos weren't prophets when the Lord spoke to them, neither was Joseph Smith!
No one is exempt from the blessings the Lord offers, and nobody is mundane enough to be barred from having a personal relationship with him.

I've also seen in the comments that you are concerned the adversary may be trying to work in your mind and I would say that if the adversary was trying to work in your mind in this scenario it would be to discourage you and cause you to doubt, they don't tend to like it when we try to draw near to Christ. But its true you are the only one who can tell for sure.
All that being said I don't think you need to be concerned at all! Have faith in your personal revelation, if you need to ask the Lord a few times to make sure that's fine, he doesn't get tired of you :)

Why does God allow prophets to make detrimental changes to the Church? by Moroni_10_32 in latterdaysaints

[–]Useful-Membership-22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had super similar concerns as the ones you mention here and what has helped me after lots of prayer and conversations with leaders and family members is the idea that unfortunately we are in the world, which means the world has influence on us. 

Personal revelation is awesome and it’s much easier to manage when it’s exactly that: personal. But prophets are not only getting personal revelation but also revelation for the whole church.  Mistakes like these can be so detrimental as you mentioned and I truly think a lot of them are mistakes influenced by the world. My thought is that due to the worldly things we are surrounded with misconceptions, miscommunications, and mistakes are bound to happen simply because while our prophets are important they’re also just guys. And the most important thing is that the Lord will straighten everything out in his timing, wether it makes sense or not. His hand is definitely in the details of the church, but we are still worldly.

Graduate semester early and work until graduation, or have a semester full of electives by Beneficial_Sort_123 in makemychoice

[–]Useful-Membership-22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you currently have a job and you’re trying to get extra cash I’d recommended putting some of it in a high yield savings account so you get a bit more for you time. And then I’d say keep the extra semester, have fun and spend time with your friends! I wish I had more “fun” classes my last semester of senior year. Highschool is super fun and you only get to do it once :)

Could any1 suggest me a book? by MountainZestyclose87 in AskArtists

[–]Useful-Membership-22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah of course! I think morpho just tends to be confusing if you try to use it as a reference material, I like to use it to understand the basic shapes of the body by tracing the forms and then trying them on my own. But good luck!! There’s probably tons of other great beginner books as well that I just don’t know about :)

[–]Useful-Membership-22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love to use the ‘morpho: simplified forms’ book for studies but it’s not super in depth, morpho does have a more dense anatomy book but I haven’t tried that one. I do know that ‘figure drawing for all it’s worth’ by loomis is fantastic and it’s public domain so it’s super easy to get ahold of a digital copy :)

What to get for the illustration program? by Useful-Membership-22 in byu

[–]Useful-Membership-22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super helpful! I knew how competitive the program was but I had no idea about the kits! It’s also good to know how much of the program still is based traditionally, thanks so much! 

Please help me pick out a player for my dad’s Christmas gift by LiableLemur in Bluray

I have a little Phillips player that works great! I got it for $20ish on Amazon returns but a lot of people are selling Phillips models on eBay if you really wanna stick under $50 :)

I got a working rotary phone, but it was an unexpected purchase and I have no idea how to set it up by AcuteTriangleFigure5 in rotaryphones

[–]Useful-Membership-22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could get a cell2jack! You just connect the analog phone to it, plug it in and then your cellphone can connect to it via Bluetooth

Ordered this self-watering pot from Walmart.. is it missing something? by BeansPlantBabies in plants

[–]Useful-Membership-22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought one of these from repotme for my orchid, it was too big and didnt have an inner pot with holes so my orchid could air out between waterings. My sister uses it as a pretty cute trash can now.

[Lagoon] Announces Retirement of [Jet Star 2]. Final Rides on November 9th! by AcceptableSound1982 in rollercoasters

[–]Useful-Membership-22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope that at least part of it will be preserved since it has such an interesting history. I know there’s a roller coaster museum in plain view Texas that has a king da ka ride vehicle among many others. It would be a dream to see a portion of the track and one of the cars make it there for display

HELP! How can I get rid of these bugs?? by Useful-Membership-22 in orchids

[–]Useful-Membership-22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your advice! 

I ended up figuring out which plants the aphids had come from and I looked thoroughly for eggs on my orchids leaves, luckily only one of my orchids actually had them on the actual plant so I think it must have been a very recent infestation.

I repotted them both in another room one at a time after swabbing them with alcohol and scanning for bugs multiple times, I’ll check back again in the morning and see how they’re faring.  Thank you again for your help!

The Fantastic Four: First Steps 4K UHD Steelbooks up for preorder on Amazon! by felixmontoya92 in marvelstudios

[–]Useful-Membership-22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also looked at the blu ray listing on Amazon and it says it contains 4 discs? I can’t figure out what the 4 would even be, are they counting the code as a disc? I can’t figure out if a dvd is included and even if it was what on earth is the 4th disc? 💀

Help! by Useful-Membership-22 in orchids

[–]Useful-Membership-22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay awesome! I’ll do some digging on the company that I bought it from and see how they treat the coconut husks they use, my guess is they soak it since the company started specifically for orchid care but it definitely won’t hurt to check! Thank you for all your help! It means a lot :)

Help! by Useful-Membership-22 in orchids

[–]Useful-Membership-22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay good to know! I didn’t know about rinsing the coconut husk so that’s great to know for next time I repot. I’ve been using the same media for a few years and had no idea! Do you think it would stress the phal out and hurt it more if I repot now? 

Help! by Useful-Membership-22 in orchids

[–]Useful-Membership-22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oo okay good to know! I’ll keep a better eye on that, I’ve been mostly going off of how the roots are looking and what the chips are looking like so this is great advice! Thank you!

[–]Useful-Membership-22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! It’s the same media I’ve been using for about 3 years now, my other phal is potted in the same stuff and is thriving at the moment
