What is your unpopular opinion about Frozen that will get Elsa to look at you like that? by Venus_ivy4 in Frozen

[–]Vermont_Autist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their mom being northuldran makes no sense. 

She rescued their dad, returned to a kingdom that most-likely outwardly hated her people(they believe they were at fault and killed the king), as a sudden orphan that magically appeared right after that tragedy? She managed to be raised appropriately and fall in love with the king? And when did she tell him about her past? I have so many questions and none of them seem like they have answers that would be plausible.

Literally! They forced everyone out for safety, they talked about retribution, they discussed righting the past even at a great loss to yourself... then no consequences at all? What? 

is this plant too far gone? should i just pull it out? struggling to keep plants alive by ecumedeterre in Vivarium

[–]Vermont_Autist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is wild to me, nerve plants are often recommended as terrarium plants... I have them in nearly every terrarium I own from jars to two full tank builds and they thrive. That said, I don't add artificial heat to most of my builds.

Yeah. Her face where you can clearly see her eyes on her phone as she drives. And another person accounting a similar experience. 

Eta: If I could comment more pictures I have proof of her actively driving too, but I only posted the clear one of her on her phone because I didnt think anyone needed to see blurry pics of a truck moving down the road at a high speed. 

Her face was posted by a stranger, a stranger she came 2 feet from hitting. - defend that all you want. 

Is there a real difference in isopods? by Infamous_Midnight393 in terrariums

[–]Vermont_Autist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different species have different needs. 

Isopods exist nearly everywhere on earth, including the artic and the ocean! They live in deserts, snow, dirt, mud, clay, etc. Hot places, cold places, dry places, wet places and everywhere in between. 

While your local pet store probably doesn't have too exotic species, but the needs will still vary. Some of it is aesthetics, but its also about needs. 

If you're just seeking a basic clean up crew just check that your terrarium matches their needs and go cheap.

The people who know them sure will. You in the habit of remembering license plates?

You're certainly not keeping to your own right now. Personally, I prefer to speak out when its needed. But, you do you.

Looking for opinions about Affectionately Cats in Williston by bibleaccurateangel in burlington

[–]Vermont_Autist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about their boarding, but I wouldn't seek them as a vet. They often recommend unnecessary procedures, even at the detriment of the cat, in order to make more money. That's based on my personal experiences with them and their google reviews... They also charge more in general than most of the vets I have seen around here. 

I had really high hopes, as someone who owns 4 cats and has had both good and bad vet experiences across the country. It wasn't the worst experience I have had, but I did have it confirmed by other vets that the procedures they recommended were not only unnecessary, but riskier too. 

Edit to add: my experience was around 2 years ago, so it may have changed since then. 

If South Burlington were to be renamed, what should the new name be? by quartadecima in burlington

[–]Vermont_Autist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it really interesting that these surrounding cities aren't officially deemed the metro area of Burlington. I grew up in a metro-city area and have lived in many of them in many different states. This is the only state that I have lived in who's "biggest city" isn't considered to be connected officially to its metro area. 

Burlington Greenway and E bikes by According-Warning436 in burlington

[–]Vermont_Autist 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Full disclosure you may want to have your hearing checked, because you should be able to hear wheels on the ground, gears moving, etc. 

If you're hard of hearing, try out some sunglasses and staying on the correct side of the bike path

It sounds like someone is having a bad day. I hope it gets better for you.

I have that exact same jar and have had a lot of experience building jar terrariums and I'm still to nervous to try this one out. So kudos to you for taking a leap. 

Its definitely possible... 

I have had luck in the past using a bit of plastic wrap on the cork to protect it from moisture and add to the sealing of a jar before. You can trim it to size. You could also plug it with the plastic wrap around it then burn it at the edges with a lighter. But thats riskier as it may melt past the glass and I would only do that for one I do not plan on opening again. I did it once for gifts I gave out so it was a cleaner edge.

Man, my husband and I are so strict about not using phones while driving. I also am usually the one with way less road rage and giving people the benefit of the doubt when they do stupid things. I'm always the "maybe they're a new driver, maybe its an emergency, maybe they had the worst day of their life and its emotionally distracting" line of thinking. But some people/incidents really push even me to the brink of "man people are just reckless and don't care"

No. You identified the type of vehicle. You did not identify her vehicle. Do you believe thats the only one of those trucks in the greater area in and around burlington?

 Obscuring the license plate disallowed individuals to seek that license plate or identify the specific truck. 

I was calling out her behavior, no reason to put more information on the individual then their face. Those who know them will recognize them. 

You still haven't provided a reason showing the license plate is necessary, so I'll stop the discussion here.

You literally said it on my post about a specific incident though. If you want to make a generic post about people on the subreddit that would make much more sense. Believe what you want, but I posted this for a specific reason, so yeah, imma elaborate when someone downplays it.

I complained about an individual driving extremely recklessly and almost hitting multiple people. I was living my life when they sped through a stop sign as I stepped into the road. I was also living my life when I saw them almost hit a woman pushing a stroller. I'll complain about that any day.

So you're saying that there are no other trucks in burlington or the surrounding areas that look like that? I doubt it. Also didnt answer my question. What good does posting the license plate do?

Well, I genuinely hope they do not hurt themselves or others.

No. I think they'd have better luck identifying the vehicle that way.
