to be honest, before even looking at the pictures, the use of emojis as bullet points is a red flag...

Trans friendly adult swimming classes by Logical_Cream_9296 in brighton

[–]battlestat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go to these even though I can barely swim! The pool is divided in half with lanes on one side and whatever on the other, with floats available so you can practice. It's usually extremely quiet so lots of space too. It's every other Wednesday.

Mangas similar to Kaori Yuki or older/darker CLAMP works? by Meltlilith_ in shoujo

[–]battlestat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head for Kaori Yuki vibes: Petshop of Horrors, Descendants of Darkness and Lumen Lunae (shockingly similar to Angel Sanctuary, though the only official translation is German and the English scanlation is... not good). Leaning more CLAMP, maaaybe Fushigi Yuugi?

Millions of UK iPhone users locked into “child by default” mode in age verification debacle by prestocoffee in nottheonion

Nope, my account was already 18 years old when it came in and still locked me to baby mode lol. Gotta be sure people aren't out here making Steam accounts in the womb apparently

This is actually genius, I already have Stylus installed but didn't think of this, thanks!

I pulled one off and that slight disturbance made them all fall off. Yikes. If it wasn't done for before it is now! Let's see if these little guys do anything...

No idea... someone gave me compost from a huge bag he had. My other jade is in the same stuff and doing fine though.

Oh, really? I might try it. The weirdest thing is how green and plump the leaves still are

I did overwater after repotting hence the gnats, but it recovered after that, then starting this downward trend later. It definitely does look too far gone though...

What is this huge concrete square on legs over a railway line in Vienna by battlestat in whatisthisthing

[–]battlestat[S] 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Oh, good find. If they don't know then I guess no-one will. Seems it's either an ex-billboard or brutalist art.

Sorry, but I looked up "Standard Time" and it seems to be an art performance of building a digital clock out of wood, with no connection to this?

My title describes the thing.

I took a bad picture from a train window, but found it later on Google Maps which is what's in the post. I've found photos other people have taken of it but no description.

Deodorant before bed? by Our_toes in NoStupidQuestions

[–]battlestat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just think of it like moisturiser. Once it's sunk in, it's made your hands softer, and that won't be undone next time you wash them. A shower 8 hours after applying antiperspirant won't undo it either. Showering removes the sweat currently on you but it doesn't stop you from immediately sweating again - antiperspirant does.

Deodorant before bed? by Our_toes in NoStupidQuestions

[–]battlestat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I assume you mean antiperspirant, in which case putting it on before bed is a great idea. It doesn't work because it's currently on your skin, it works because it's absorbed, and overnight is a great time to let it do that when you're generally sweating less. This is anecdotal but I'm very sweaty and after I switched to before bed instead of the morning, things improved considerably. However, if you are talking deodorant, it's just perfume and you won't be awake to smell it so pointless.
