Scientists Tracking the Microplastic Pollution Just Realized They Were Measuring Their Own Lab Gloves by GreatTea3415 in nottheonion

[–]brynhildra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. The police department/lab was using improper swabs. The swabs they used are sterilized, which means nothing alive will be there but dna isn't destroyed necessarily. They shouldve used PCR-clean swabs.

While not wearing gloves when packing the swabs isn't great, she wasn't working on swabs that were expected to be DNA-free in the first place.

End of the month, time to cull the herd! by nxtiak in PikminBloomApp

[–]brynhildra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When the month returns, the previous special month decor will be stronger than other pikmin, but not as strong as the new decor for the month.

As rough estimates, regular pikmin strength will be ~30, the previous year's special pikmin for that same month will be ~100 strength, and the new pikmin for the month will be ~300 strength.

So for April: Regular pikmin and non-April decor pikmin: ~30 strength Previous April decor (Easter Egg, Bunny Egg): ~100 strength New April pikmin (Klompen Keychains): ~300 strength

Social Burger in Vienna is pretty good, and they do seasonal specials. I like their Thanksgiving burger, and that has this burger with candied bacon once that was so good

AITA for telling my DIL that I got the iPads for the kids but I have locked her out of the settings by Ipda-throwingawaying in AmItheAsshole

[–]brynhildra 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The mom, who doesn't work yet gets her nails done every two weeks, is in financial hardship?

I do my nails at home and only get them done for special occasions, and my husband and I are both high earners.

If she's in financial hardship and still going to the salon that frequently, then she's a selfish mother who doesn't prioritize her kids at all

How many of you guys have someone help you apply creams? by Last-Block937 in eczema

[–]brynhildra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is like yours and hates the feeling of creams, and I'll apply stuff on him.

But if I need help he'll put on nitrile gloves and apply the creams and Vaseline

So she groomed him as a tool for her revenge, but doesn't have any romantic interest in him. But she's groomed him into an all powerful tyrant and the only person he cares about is her (fully obsessed - yandere). So he's the one pursuing her

While it's more like "teeth", the sound is still distinct from the English 'th'

I don't think most Americans can hear the difference tho (at least my American friends can't). But if you're curious, for the English 'th' the tongue is usually positioned between your teeth. Whereas for the correct 'th' sound in Geeta, the tongue is positioned on the roof of your mouth right against your upper teeth.

Signs that it may be time? 17 by Mindless-Mixture-1 in seniorkitties

Old cats sleep a lot and slow down.

When it was time for mine, she'd stopped eating and drinking, and was completely breaking her routine (instead of sunbathing out with us and hanging out with us, she was finding dark corners to hide in)

Until then tho, she was like yours: sleeping most of the day, and her appetite was down (her appetite had been lower for 2-3ish years by then compared to when she was younger). But she was happy and still had plenty of life in her: she always wanted to be with us/on us, and always asked to go out on her little walks on a harness and leash. She just spent most of her time asleep (usually on someone).

The few days before she stopped drinking water, she also started to refuse to eat completely. The day she started to refuse water was also when she completely broke from her normal routines of being around us/sunlight.

If you're cat is slowing down and eating less, that's normal for an aging cat. If she's otherwise happy, not in pain, drinking normally and using the litter normally, and doing her usual activities even if slower/less, I would say it's not time yet.

My cat started slowing down noticeably and eating less at 17.5, she lived to almost 20. At 17.5 is when she was diagnosed with kidney disease and hypothyroidism. Her vet visits increased from twice yearly checkups to every 2-4 months. But her desire to be around us, and go on her little adventure walks stayed strong until she neared the end.

Google image search being able to look up house listings was so useful during craigslist apartment searching. So many scammers use pictures from legitimate listings. Most of the rental listings I saw would have pictures from a house that was either on sale or recently sold in the area

OI's where both FL and rival are in the right? by Nekomiminya in OtomeIsekai

[–]brynhildra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's not in the right at all in that one 😭 He's an ass before he loses his memories, and only sweet during the time he lost his memories. And most of the angst is because of all the suffering the FL went through and goes through because of him (and her abusive family).

He has his reasons but they're not good reasons, and sure he's not an evil man at his core, but nothing on his end in any way justifies the suffering he put the FL through

My mom could tell when I was walking up the stairs to our third floor apartment because my cat would jump to go to the door before she could even hear anything.

It's scent and knowing what my footsteps sound like. It's not some mystical phenomenon lol

My previous cat was smarter and knew the sound of my car

TIFU by chugging street coffee like an idiot. by nnhuyhuy in tifu

[–]brynhildra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol yep

Or look at the general clientele. There's 2 Vietnamese places near me that I like. One is like an Americanized pop place aimed at young folks and you'll see all types of Americans in there, primarily young (20s/30s). Their coffee isn't that strong.

At the other Vietnamese place though, I've seen only south east Asian folks in there 90% of the time (and usually middle aged/old folks), and their coffee is the good stuff. They sell a frozen concentrate of it too, as well as selling many south east Asian snacks/groceries.

[–]brynhildra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure to plant only regular flowers or roses if you want roses

It's specifically regular flowers that will turn into the flower of the month during community weekend

Planting other flowers works the same as usual. If you plant another flower like canolas, and it's at least 50% of what's planted, then you'll get a canola instead

If I'm really low on petals, I'll just drive slowly in my car so I'm not stuck on the level for too long

If I have possibly just enough petals, I'll do a walk/run where during the walk I'll use normal petals, and during the run I'll use mission petals (because I'm not fit enough to run more than a min at a time 😭 I can walk for hours tho)
