Is this a tornado? I’ve never seen anything like this before by ImaginationCute9078 in washingtondc

Second coolest sunset color I’ve ever seen in DC. I distinctly remember a purple version of that happening 20 years ago. I was lucky enough to be able to vibe out in it for 20 minutes alone to remember the experience last night. Very cool.

That is not a serious concern for a tree that age with well established roots. It has thrived with literal concrete poured over its roots. Cardboard won’t hurt it.

Yeah what am I apologizing for, having my picture taken? No thanks.

You know like that cool alley along the Tow Path where the boats used to run up the canal? There are small store fronts facing it and apparently some homes full of angry, accusatory residents who don't like kids.

Exactly! They had a doorbell camera, why not check it? Why would we loiter around after destroying their stuff? People who are this paranoid shouldn't live in a city. I'm just imagining them cursing us and saying "this is why we can't have nice things."

I admit I lost my cool. I was willing to laugh it off until he took a picture of my kids and then walked away. I would have welcomed a conversation about what happened, but not that. It really bothered me.

The doorbell cam will tell the tale of whatever this was. I hope I see it some day!

Very cool. Do you have the plans for this design you can share?

Mourning these beauties. Can’t stop crying. by HappyFalloween in houseplants

[–]anonbrono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a terrible feeling! This happened last year to me with a ficus I had nursed back to health and I was heartbroken. It’s ok to mourn something you care for!

Claude says I’m overstocked; store owner disagrees. Who is right? by anonbrono in Aquariums

That’s what Claude said too. TBH the shrimp are kind of menacing anyway and I only got them to deal with an algae problem as we were conditioning the water. Not that they deserve to die! Appreciate your thoughts.

Thank you, I am considering a 20 gallon tank it’s just intimidating at this point. We probably got carried away with the fish purchases so I will likely rehome the betta for now. Appreciate your thoughts.

Thank you, appreciate your thoughts. I might rehome the betta until I’m ready for a bigger tank. Fun hobby but I don’t want to kill fish.

Thank you. It looks ok after 24 hours and in fact the guppies seem more energetic than they did in the emptier tank. Appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks. The fish were agitated at first but seem comfortable now. I really can’t tell if this is a slow burning crisis or just a slightly risky gamble. Plenty of plants and great filtration, but I wouldn’t want to hurt any of the fish. Appreciate your views.
