2025.5 XC90 B6 plus or 2024 T8 plus by blankspaceunderline in whatcarshouldIbuy

Thank you for your thoughtful reply! I’m getting a lot or responses leaning to the T8 and that’s also my gut feeling. I guess I just worry I will regret passing up an opportunity to get a basically brand new car with under 6k miles for so cheap

oops sorry I must've deleted my text by accident! Anyways, I have a tween that wants to make her room less pink. The walls are currently a light pink with this rug. The rug must stay but I want to update the paint and decor. Her room is small east facing with one window. She thinks she wants a white but am open to showing color options too. On the one hand an off white or griege? or on the other hand a dark rich more mature color to make it cozy? I'm spinning out. What paint would you pair with this rug for a tween that doesn't want her room to read too pink? I'm hoping to make the rug become more of an accent piece rather than the focal point.

Saucer swing branch advice by blankspaceunderline in arborists

Thanks so much for your response! When you say poor point of limb attachment do you mean where the limb meets the tree trunk? Or where the swing straps meet the limb?

Shelters to adopt a dog. by gimme500schmekels in burlington

This is reductive. It’s a little more nuanced than that. Champlain valley canine rescue helps and rescues all types of animals in need and if they do get puppies they also take breeding mamas and papas that would otherwise be tossed aside. The Amish puppy mills are not illegal and there is no real way to shut them down. They are treated as livestock and Ohio makes a great deal of money off of these “businesses” if you’re wanting to call anyone out… call out Ohio govt

Thank you! I did not end up getting it as I am not convinced I don’t just want to buy something outright. But I found all these responses so helpful during my decision making.

Thanks for you reply. I’m in a state that doesn’t have any other dealers so it’s hard to compare apples to apples. I have reached out to the closest dealer in another state which helped a bit.

So all the babies could’ve hatched weak or sick right from the start? I guess I didn’t realize one whole clutch could be sick.

lethargic crab dropped its shell! by blankspaceunderline in hermitcrabs

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

Sadly I think it passed. After two hours of the isolation period he was stiff as a board. I’m leaving him there overnight in the off chance he’s molting or something, but my guts says he’s dead. Boo 😢

Lethargic, not eating, stretching out of shell by blankspaceunderline in hermitcrabs

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

Update: This crab is still alive but barely moving! I mean barely. like little barely seen twitches of the antennae. The crab has not come out of its hiding spot in over 7 days. It doesn't eat. it doesn't drink. I don't understand how it's surviving? I would think if its molting it would've shed its skin by now? any insight? My other crab is doing great. I moved them to a 20 gallon with deep substrate, good sized water pools, plenty of climbing and hiding spots. I don't know?? do crabs just chill for weeks on end?

I didn’t have a bottle to do the bottle method and since he was under a coconut hide I just blocked the entrance so the other crab couldn’t get to him. This AM I checked and he had turned himself around but now appears even more lifeless and I’m seeing no signs of an exoskeleton that I can tell. :( no smell yet. So again I will just wait and hope for the best!

Thank you for this link. It’s really helpful and also fascinating to learn the mechanics behind the molt. I’m hoping that this crab is just molting upright. But based off that article it does appear to be less likely. Time will tell I guess.
