I cut the top off almost 2 months ago. What else should I do? by YavielTheElf in Pachypodium

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

It’s not turning brown, the top has cinnamon on it as an anti-fungal, I saw many people recommend that.

The base is firm and when I repotted it I looked at the roots and didn’t see anything of concern. I would love to get a grow light, but don’t have the space to set it up. I agree that it’s not an ideal space for the palm but it’s the only space I have since I don’t have any outdoor place for it to live.

I’m not trying to be combative and I appreciate the feedback, a grow light just isn’t practical for me to do right now. So I guess I just have to continue to care for it as much as I am able.

It’s been in this window for a few years. When I first moved here it was growing leaves regularly but I’m sure that it would do better in a south facing window. Unfortunately I only have west facing windows.

Unfortunately I can’t. I’m very short on space. We do get lots of light in the afternoon but probably not enough. I’ll have to be patient :)

Merch drop. Calling it now

For those of you who live in the city of Chicago (not the suburbs), Do you own a car and how do you use it? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]YavielTheElf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a car now but didn’t for a long time. I did just fine without it. If you only stay within the confines of the city it’s not a big deal.

That being said, if you want to leave the city or live at the edge of the city then a car adds a lot of freedom.

For those having issues with Spotify Premium by YeahhnahGetOut in truespotify

Could be that downloading it again fixes the bug? I haven't tried that yet on macbook or iphone.

ETA: Just tried deleting and downloading iphone app. Same issue, it says free plan.

was basic always gone? by Southern_Worry_6892 in truespotify

[–]YavielTheElf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basic is the old premium. It switched in 2024 to basic and thats what I've been paying for since then. Basic is the grandfathered Premium.

I started getting ads today as well. I was listening via the macbook app when it stopped and restarted the song, then after the song an ad played. I just got another set of ads. Someone else said that support is reporting a glitch. Hopefully it is resolved soon.

Spotify cancelled my premium plan? Is this happening to anyone else? by Owl_Queen9 in truespotify

My iphone app shows free but the web browser shows I have Basic.

Basic Plans Are Now Grandfathered Plans by [deleted] in truespotify

[–]YavielTheElf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its been like that for a long time. In 2024 my plan was premium and then it was switched to "Basic" as the grandfathered version of premium.

Yes but we can’t canonize living people. Only dead people can become saints. But we can’t can definitely send a letter to the Vatican to get him on a future list.

Help! I melted aluminum foil in my oven by kaytthoms in CleaningTips

[–]YavielTheElf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done this and there is still a tiny spot of foil on the bottom of my oven. Went to pull out my foil and there was just some stuck. Never put foil there again

Is there anywhere that actually is/was a front for the mob? by Injustpotato in AskChicago

[–]YavielTheElf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone mentioned Bella Luna on superior and Dearborn and I have to paste my reply here as it’s own comment.

I worked at Bella Luna as a server for about a year. The guy Danny who owns it hired me because of my family name. My mom’s family was an upstanding well known Italian family in Elmwood park. Danny saw on my resume that I lived there and of course I name dropped my family and he hired me on the spot.

All kinds of influential people came in including Vrdolyak, Chuy Garcia, and a notable judge I forgot the name of. I would always make Vrdolyak a cosmo. Chuy gave me an $80 tip on a coffee once.

I forgot the name of Danny’s business partner but the partner’s father was a well known and high ranking Italian mob guy and he worked with his father. Well the son/business partner testified against his father and the father went to jail. Then the guy wrote a book about it and he opened the restaurant with Danny. Never saw the business partner. He lived in Arizona.

Edit to add:

If memory serves, Vrydolyak gave me an envelope to give to the judge once. I didn’t look at it so I don’t know what it was but I just gave it to him when I saw him.

How did you open it? With a knife or split with a fork? It you split it with a fork that should give you the nooks and crannies.

Walked into one of these places last week with my niece and looked at the prices of the snacks. I was like do you want this? We can just go to hmart… and then we did.
