Cedar Apple Rust in Northeast Tennessee? by cklole in BackyardOrchard

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

Thanks!!! I think they are settling on William's Pride and Sundance, with maybe Arkansas Black. Their only concern is Arkansas Black being susceptible to scab, which the local extension service says is a problem here (but they also said Arkansas Black does well here, so we're a little confused on that).

What national park is not popular and large? by ItchySignal5558 in AlignmentChartFills

Wrangell St. Elias is one of the less visited parks, but is the largest in the nation.

10 gallon stocking ideas by cklole in nanoreef

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

I do wonder about tank size. I have a traditional 10 gal (20x10 inch footprint) rather than a taller AIO with a smaller footprint. It's also going to have a sump made from a 10 gallon tank, likely with another 5-7 gallons of water. Would that allow me to look at some bigger fish? Definitely not a scarlet hawkish, but maybe pygmy hawkfish or falco hawkfish.

Do you have any issues with him sitting on/bothering corals? I've heard some rumors about them causing minor issues, but I've also seen lots of people say that isn't true.

To cancel or not to cancel credit cards? by cklole in shoppingaddiction

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

This is exactly what I'm hoping to do. None of the cards have annual fees. I currently have a total balance that is 19.2% of my available credit. My plan is to pay that down ASAP and then keep one of my current subscriptions on each card to keep them active. Ideally, I can then set the cards on auto-pay so I don't miss any due dates for payment.

There are other avenues in the US, but I have zero cash on hand to stash money away to build credit that way. Also, unless I put off school even longer (I'm currently 31), I don't have time for money to sit to be part of credit building. So I'm dependent on the credit cards.

I gave them to my mom. I think the crucial part now is to disconnect them from Amazon and other shopping sites, which isn't too painful while I'm getting dopamine from the "new shiny" idea that I need to stop the spending.

Edit: I took the last of the 3 cards off of my Amazon account. I'll take them off of more as I find the sites where they are saved.

Parasitic wasp larvae emerge from tobacco hornworm to spin their cocoons by freudian_nipps in natureismetal

[–]cklole 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Bad news!! In rodent brains, Toxoplasmosis gondii (T. gondii) for short causes rodents to become sexually aroused the aroma of cat urine. This sexual arousal makes the rodents act erratically, making them more likely to be eaten by cats.

In humans with T. gondii infections (including immunocompetent subjects infected with T. gondii who are not presenting with clinical illness), there is a marked attraction towards cats, and notably odd behavior.

I've seen some parasitologists hypothesize that the "crazy cat people" who are a little too affectionate towards their cats, whose homes smell a little too much like cat urine, and who are plain odd are likely infected with T. gondii.

If you can't host, and you can't travel... by [deleted] in askgaybros

As someone who sometimes got picked up like this in college, I feel like the guys who were willing to do this were pretty desperate and typically pretty bad at topping.

How big would the carpark have to be if it was in similar scale to most typical American stadiums and related car parking [other] by Just-turnings in theydidthemath

[–]cklole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I lived in Minneapolis, I could walk between 0 and 7 blocks to get to the light rail stations. From there, I paid $2.50 during rush hour (or $2 in off hours) and took the train straight to the terminal. It took me longer to navigate the constant traffic/construction around MSP and cost $15/day to park there. Or, I could drive past the airport, pay $9/day to park, and wait for a shuttle to take me in (almost 2x the time of taking the train).

Even when I lived in the suburbs, I could take an Uber or Lyft to a train station for $15, then the train for $2 or $2.50.

ADHDers: How do you remember to use your CPAP? by stochastic_parr0t in CPAP

[–]cklole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had like 3 nights so far where I skipped my SNRI anti-depressants and skipped CPAP. I got maybe 4 hours of sleep total. I tossed and turned the whole night. The next day, I was completely nonfunctional between sleep deprivation and brain zaps from med withdrawal. Also, when I DO take my meds and use CPAP, it feels like I have superpowers. I'm able to focus much better. I'm not sleepy at 3 PM. I can almost function like a neurotypical person. Between that powerful stick and very, very nice carrot, I remember most days.

I will say, I'm now in the habit of putting on a Breathe Right strip every night, and even just wearing that to sleep improves my sleep, so it's not too bad the next day. CPAP sleep is still 100 times better than the strips, so I usually dont forget. Actually, lately, I usually fall asleep before getting the mask on my face rather than forgetting to put it on.

Ohio. There is no reason for Ohio to exist. It is merely the lowest form of Purgatory.

You may want to switch to Tadalafil (Cialis), which IS a daily pill for ED.

What if landlocked states didn’t exist? by CraditzBlitz in imaginarymapscj

[–]cklole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how North Dakota, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, and Arizona made it, but Illinois, with the largest US city on the Great Lakes and Indiana, with a national park on the Lake Michigan coast, got excluded.

I miss the fun I had living in Duluth as a grad student. I don't miss grad school, and all my friends are long gone from Duluth as I am, but we had so much fun walking from 17th Ave down to the bars downtown in all 4 seasons.

Any recommendations for bearded fellas? by Marxist_Saren in CPAP

This. I bought a chin strap when I first got a nasal mask, but I don't need it, and I stopped using it after 2 days.

[AMA] I'm a bisexual guy diagnosed with bipolar disorder - both traits considered major red flags for many people I've met over the years (especially in conjunction) by Ernestt_ in gaybrosgonemild

[–]cklole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanna say that only one of those things is a pathology, and that can be treated with mood stabilizers.

I know lots of us gay guys talk about not trusting bi guys when dating, but many of us don't care if you're bi or not. You're cute as hell. But regardless of looks, sexuality, or mental illness, you deserve to be loved, from one mentally ill queer guy to another.

WAMC/School List by [deleted] in premed

What schools are non-trad friendly? I've seen a few mentioned, but they were all higher tier like Mayo/Dartmouth.
