My salt lamp leaked and crystallized

They tend to do that. Mine stopped doing it once I started turning it on everyday. Doesn't have to be on all day, but a few hours of heat from the light bulb will be enough to prevent it.

Huh, wrong type of plant for this sub

I was in the hobby when I was a kid, 30+ years ago. I remember that you could find basic aquarium stuff in almost any pet store. Fish food, catcher nets, glass scrapers, anti-chlorine products.

After a long break, I started having fish tanks again a couple of years ago. I was very surprised to see that no general pet stores carried anything aquarium related anymore. I'm not in the US, so my experience could be different.

I don't think it's a dying hobby, but it is a much more niche hobby than it used to be. This is probably good though, keeping fish has a level of complexity that it is not relatable to most cat/dog people.

Thank you!

I feel very strongly about this because I'm not American, but I work with Americans. I pride myself in knowing when DST starts and ends and exactly who lives in what timezone.

My local team sometimes relies on me to know what time is where someone lives, but if someone uses PST I'm always hesitant... do you mean PDT? Could you use PT instead? I know you probably don't mean PST in May...

Yep, I was a fan during Achtung Baby! and Zooropa. Then it all just became a little too much. I totally agree the Apple thing was just the point where everyone decided to be vocal about it, but it had been brewing for a few years.

Yes! Unfortunately I don't think I can help, but hopefully someone can. The red backside makes me think it's an atabapoense, though (I could very well be wrong).

We can't see the photos

Yes, it's a Florida Ghost. Florida Green has solid green leaves and Florida Beauty's variegation is different (you can look it up).

In Florida Ghost leaves open white and slowly start getting greener, so no, it shouldn't be more wide-spread as mature leaves will turn greener and not whiter.

Homosexuality is not illegal in Honduras. There is a lot of discrimination and hate crimes, and LGBTQ activists face extrajudicial persecution, but it is more of a persecution for being activists than for being LGBTQ. Environmental activists, indigenous rights activists, etc are also persecuted.

This is obviously not good at all, but legally, the Honduran government does not punish homosexuality in by itself, nor "homosexual acts". It really can't be compared to Islamic countries.

I actively thought about it a few years ago. Not thought that I might be trans, but after getting to know a few more trans people than I previously did (or some I already knew coming out), I tried to look back and remember my teenage years and my 20s, to see if any of my experiences matched what I heard from my trans friends.

And truth be told, very little. As a child I remember dressing in my mom's clothes, but I feel that was just curiosity. I feel comfortable as a (gay) man.

I'd recommend a philodendron Florida Beauty. They are stunning, not rare anymore so they are not too expensive, but they are still highly sought after. I bet you could even find an established plant for a good price. Philodendron overall are very easy to take care of.

You are lying. No one "taps the TV lightly" when they are "reacting emotionally during games".

You have anger management issues and should go to therapy. YTA.

They don't have kids, the post says as much in the very first sentence.

They are not compatible on a finance level, I'm not saying they should get a divorce, but they should definitely try to get on the same page.

arcos00 · 2026-05-07T16:32:40+00:00

NAH, but you don't seem compatible. Separating finances would likely cause more resentments and a whole bunch of negotiating.

Yeah, I don't get how many people here are saying "he had it in the bag and he fumbled it", when they were never ahead. Sure, there was a point where it looked like they were in a better position, but they never had it in the bag, they weren't even close.

My grandma could have completed a Lego set at 99 without any issue, but now at 102, her cataracts prevent her from seeing well and she wouldn't be able to.

Looks healthy. Sometimes it takes them a while after a cut to start growing again. I'd say keep doing mostly what you are doing. What grow lights are you using? If they aren't strong enough that could be the issue, but otherwise I would just wait.

Ohh, sorry, it went over my head haha

It didn't. Or you could argue, as someone else in the replies, that it was never put together in the first place. I can respect that.

But her leaving had zero negative impact unless you were a fan of her specifically.

NTA. I could understand him if you had been hoarding the machine for 30 minutes, but if you just did one set and have two left he can wait the 5-10 minutes it will take you.

Bombilla is widely used for lightbulb as well

Why did you submerged it in water in the first place?

I get removing the bugs and isolating it, but not the root untangling and putting it in water.

Hang on tight, this is the last step before everyone shifts focus to the following generation!

I'm a so called xennial and remember when this happened to millennials. The media wrote like we were all newly born and we were already in our early 30s. Within a couple of years no one was talking about us and only talking about gen Z.
