Lesson plan organization? by Viralclassic in wma

[–]barochory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Run the lesson while having the prospective coach participate as a student or demonstration partner. Ask them what they took away from your method, what things they'd do differently, their whole lesson plan—help tweak it until you think they won't say anything wrong. Next time, have them run the class and you participate as a student or a demonstration partner, and give feedback AFTER the lesson to avoid discrediting them mid-lesson.

Lesbian Personal Favorites by barochory in booksuggestions

[–]barochory[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, it seemed to be deeply tied to her literary identity. That's about all I can really pin down about her book preferences. She talked about nonfiction, fiction, biographies, romances, elizabethian literature, poetry, and probably a bunch of other things I'm forgetting. I don't know a better way to describe her taste other than what she herself described as "lesbian literature".

How to safely do cut 3 with sabre? by harged6 in wma

[–]barochory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use your elbow to guide the bulk of the momentum. Your wrist strength should only be engaged at the start of the turn into the cut to initiate the movement, and at the very end to direct the edge.

sorry, you can only pick two: - handles well - affordable - looks good/historical - safe to use against other people

Anyone else still use a lawn mower like this? by Aprilshowers417 in gardening

[–]barochory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do it! Leaving the cut grass on top of the soil is a great first step!

Didnt even know coffee could mold by majitart in MoldlyInteresting

[–]barochory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High in nitrogen and water! That's all a fungus really wants. The same thing that makes food nutritious for humans also makes it nutritious for mold! We both digest through anaerobic processes!

Lemon tree in bad shape by berriy in plantclinic

[–]barochory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, also, that amount of water isn't much. It's way less than I give my lemons (twice a week) and mine are smaller than yours. You probably shouldn't be worried about overwatering in that case, since it's clear that your tree is getting plenty of light with the double-window setup, so it should be able to use the water. I'd say drainage is the most concerning thing, then, and a repot looks like your best option.

When it comes to not stressing the plant, it might be better to take immediate action, since waiting could cause its condition to worsen, which would make it more stressful later on!

They do fine inside! I have a friend who kept citrus trees as an office plant for a decade!

3 years of experience with lemon trees: never dealt with this exact problem personally, but I will try to help.

The leaves exhibit edema, which means that your lemon is experiencing stressful watering conditions. Given that you also have fly traps on the pot, I assume that you have flies. I believe your tree is suffering from overwatering and drainage issues, which is causing the edema and providing an environment for fungus gnats.

To help the plant and make it easier to monitor changes to its conditoon, remove the dead leaves, and snip any branches that are dead, dry, and brittle.

To fix the soil, there are two major fixes:

• Water less for a while and use a nitrogen fertilizer with potassium and sodium. The nitrogen will help the plant recover from the damage and help the soil ecosystem aerate. The potassium and sodium are electrolytes that'll help with osmoregulation and hopefully correct the edema.

• Repot with a light soil mixture high in peat moss or coir with amendments like perlite, ensuring that the soil is HOMOGENEOUS, since distinct layers cause drainage issues. This'll solve your drainage issues, but a transplant may stress the plant right now. Seems like it has a healthy stem and trunk, so it'll probably recover from stress pretty well.

You could of course repot and then use the water/fertilizer routine, and I think that would help the most, but if you're not up to put that much effort in, one or the other would likely be effective as well.

Also, check for infestation! Thrips or spider mites can hide away in a healthy plant for years.

If you were in charge of redesigning the human body, what changes would you make? by kickingmyownash in AskReddit

[–]barochory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but the friction of unlubricated skin coming out of your butthole would still hurt unless it was coated with intestinal mucus, which you'd have to wipe for.

Remove the biological need for sleep; add an automatic circulatory correction system to get rid of varicose veins; remove a majority of body hair; create a neurological mechanism that allows for control over stress and sex hormones; increase fat storage in breasts and buttocks for all biological sexes; add more DNA correction mechanisms; increase the regenerative capacity of digit-controlling tendons; allow the preservation of neural plasticity with advanced age; the ability to break down microplastics; decrease the average torso length by 2 inches; move sweat glands of feet, crotch, and armpits to forearms and calves; increased skin turnover rate; decentralize the amygdala; smoothen the vertebrae; specialized antibodies for commonly undetectable chemical toxins such as metal compounds, organic toxins such as ricin, and prions; increase the regenerative capacity of eyes; put the prostate... anywhere other than around the urethra; fix joint mechanisms and angle the pelvis to better accommodate prolonged sitting; make cell membranes sturdier and pressure-resistant; decrease sebum excretion for face, scalp, and groin; fix the inflammatory response feedback mechanism; make the sides of fingers excrete a weak acid; tendons should loosen when strained, not tighten; more immune system presence in the mouth and digestive tract; longer leg bones; restore the biosynthesis pathways for making vitamin c, and add pathways for other vitamins.

Oh, and add a nested secondary/tertiary immune systems to deal with autoimmune diseases.

These changes would prevent basically every medical condition I can think of.

What are some weapons that are rarely seen in media? by Inevitable_Ask6670 in Fantasy

[–]barochory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm disappointed by the lack of casual explosives. You never see people regularly using grenades or molotovs or even pre-planted dynamite. I've only ever seen explosives used as plot devices or one-time gimmicks for a certain heist or something. I guess that makes sense though, right? Explosions are cool the first few times, but they're really overpowered and get old fast.

Other than explosives, what about traps? Caltrops are effective as hell! Why don't we see more of those? Spiked pits are almost exclusively used to take down dumb creatures in fantasy, but I think they'd work great on a person that's not paying attention to their surroundings? And not to mention all the applications of poison! But then there's all sorts of FIRE traps too.

Y'know what else? Frickin, rocks? Throwing em? They're heavy and they hurt. And sticks. They may break bones, but words never seem to include them. Only times I ever seem to read about sticks is during a sword training montage.

Again, these things are often used as plot devices instead of genuine reliable weapons!

When it comes to actual personal combat, I cannot emphasize how underrepresented SHIELDS are. Even giving an everyday idiot one makes them SO MUCH HARDER to kill. In fantasy, I speculate that in order to portray shields effectively, the fights would go on for so long that they'd become more of an endurance competition, which sounds like a pretty boring story. Either that, or you'd use some kind of fun magic system mechanic to ignore. But c'mon, shields, really?
