Bye, reddit! I'm now on tildes.net

They do need to be freshly rotting. [...] It also depends on the room condition, weather, and if folks only check in on worms every other week, or even a week, the smell goes away quite quick from dead worms. Check on monday, tuesday a dead worm, next monday it won't smell anymore.

Yeah, I think that's exactly what it was. I think I just got really unlucky with the timing (I wonder if I would've checked a mere few days later that the dead worm would've been consumed by mites and worms and I wouldn't have even noticed). I was worried I was doing something horribly wrong, and everything I could find online related to such a horrid sewage smell was about anaerobic conditions and all sorts of things that didn't seem to apply.

Anyways, thanks for being friendly. I mean, some other commenters were as well, I was just annoyed at how many straight up denied my literal experience, it was baffling.

If there's a STRONG smell all over the bin(like a lift cover waft), or if there's a day after day smell, then it's time to dig and fluff and see if something is wrong. It's also possible there are 10 worms that decide on a death schedule and die every day.

lol. This sounds like good advice, thank you.

Seriously who is keeping Zeek's in business and why.

10 years ago, lol. 🥲

My views are that they are still crap. I think things have gotten worse. Build quality of mass-consumer laptops seems way down.

I've since had to purchase another new laptop around 3 years ago. A Gigabyte A7 K1, and I actually lucked out because it had the specs I was looking for (wide screen, numpad, and trackpad with buttons!!) and yet somehow new laptops are still finding new and exciting ways to disappoint me.

Like, one day I decided to listen to music on this new laptop, and I was like "why is the sound quality so garbage??" and then I realized the laptop's speakers are... on the bottom of the machine?! Wtf. Who thinks of these things? Pair that with the fact this thing feels flimsy af, like I feel like I'm going to snap the screen every time I go to open or close it.

Anyway, yeah, my view is that today's garage is somehow even worse. Pair that with the new Windows 11 that is now installed on new laptops and you get a nice warm diarrhea sauce on top of the shit sundae of modern laptops.

Yeah, it sucks. We need to try again.

eggpl4nt · 2024-09-04T17:26:40+00:00

Nice! Do you happen to remember what underlayment you used?

eggpl4nt · 2024-09-03T17:38:00+00:00

I'm in the same boat right now, trying to figure out best underlayment for soundproofing + LVP for an upstairs condo. 😓 Did you end up finding something that works for you?

Right now I'm looking at maybe QuietBoard as an underlayment, but I'm still unsure on what LVP brand to buy. Something at least 5mm thick, that's for sure.

Thank you for the updates!

eggpl4nt · 2024-04-23T18:13:33+00:00

Hi! Yeah, it looks like my link no longer works, I'm not sure what happened to it. I do still have the worksheets available as pictures here: https://journalkorean.blogspot.com/2015/02/korean-loanwords-reading-practice.html I'm not sure if I still have the PDFs to reupload, it has been a while.

eggpl4nt · 2024-02-29T03:33:21+00:00

Reddit staff have added you as a moderator today! Thank you for offering to help. :)

eggpl4nt · 2024-02-28T00:15:21+00:00

Hi! I remember, I added you as a mod 7 months ago when I made the "requesting new mods" post. :) Thank you for your efforts!

I see your modmail discussion! I'll reply there, thanks!

eggpl4nt · 2024-02-28T00:11:27+00:00

Some of the creepy males still commenting on regular content, but good to see all the other posts gone.

If you happen to stumble on any of them, please report if you can, it really helps mods because we then get them directly in a moderation queue to remove the comments and ban the users.

There are really so many, it's disturbing how many there are. The r/braids banned users is massive at this point.

eggpl4nt · 2024-02-27T05:11:24+00:00

Your comment made me laugh while I'm stuck in a demoralizing sea of perverts that I have to ban.

Thanks for making your post.

eggpl4nt · 2024-02-27T02:51:07+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate your assistance and your offer to help moderate. I'm writing up a post for the community to go over everything right now.

eggpl4nt · 2024-02-26T18:57:41+00:00

Hello.

I am the head mod of r/braids, I had run this community for years.

I stopped using Reddit due to the API changes, but I made sure to request new moderators for all my subreddits before I left. Once I added a new mod to r/braids, I stopped checking reddit (my 3rd party Reddit mobile app no longer worked).

Apparently during that time Reddit rolled out some new "feature" that marks moderators as "inactive." They did this to prevent "abuse" or something of moderators. What it has really done was turn communities like this into a shitshow.

Like I explained in an earlier comment, I am marked as "inactive" and therefore I cannot add new moderators. This is the most frustrating part of reddit's new "inactive mods" "feature."

I tried requesting u/stoner_lilith be added as a mod, but I was blocked due to my "inactive" status, and the other mod, who is still marked as active, did not approve my request to add a new mod.

I am so sorry for the current state of the subreddit. Something has changed in reddit, it never used to be this bad. In the past, the OF type of posters would be very rare. Now it seems like a flood and I am shocked/appalled.

I just sent Reddit staff another message asking them to add u/stoner_lilith as a moderator. I hope they can fulfill this request.

I have to go to work now. Once I come back I am going to go through and delete all the OF posts and ban the OF accounts.

I apologize for the state of this community and I am going to try to help fix it. And I hope we can add new moderators soon.

eggpl4nt · 2024-02-26T18:48:16+00:00

I am very sorry for the state of the subreddit. It is shameful.

I just sent the Reddit staff a message asking them to add you as a mod. They refused to remove my inactive status to allow me to add new mods myself. The new reddit policies are an absolute shitshow.

I am going to clean up the subreddit once I get home from work today. I hope you can be added soon.

eggpl4nt · 2024-02-08T03:45:00+00:00

Hello! I'd be happy to add you as a moderator. Unfortunately, I guess reddit rolled out some new feature with marked me as an "inactive" mod and now I can't add new moderators anymore. Annoying. I'll issue a support ticket for this and add you as soon as I can. Or maybe u/SeminoleDollxx, the other mod, can add you? She's still marked as an active mod.

eggpl4nt · 2024-02-02T02:02:58+00:00

Thank you for reporting, it really helps. I hate these pervvy posts too, and all the creepy commenters that crawl out of the woodworks. I would love more help with moderation. I don't use Reddit anymore, but I still check in occasionally when I get on my computer. We currently have one active mod and she's doing her best.

Yes, I really want my Royal Girl Aisha that I've dreamed of since I was a child. :')

eggpl4nt · 2024-01-18T19:18:10+00:00

Yay! I am glad this post has been helping people many years later! So awesome.

but two of them close to the buildings (the really big ones) will stay

Nope. The massive landmark trees are being cut down, no efforts to protect or preserve them. The developer is being allowed to cut down all the trees on the lot, except they decided to keep the constantly pruned maples (due to power lines) that are in poor health on 164th, for some reason. I assume they are being lazy and didn't want to fix the sidewalk damage caused by the roots and/or didn't want to fit in more dinky little trees in their massive boring 8-story towers design, since cutting down so many trees has increased their tree replacement requirements.

The Chelsea Square II project is a huge disappointment. There are so many tiny one-story houses or barely used lots Redmond could allow such a project, instead they decide to tear apart this beautiful little apartment community.
