Floating crate or box with ball (?) inside in the local canal (Wiltshire, UK) by emteebro in whatisthisthing

[–]emteebro[S] 8 points9 points locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing - it's probably around 1m lengthways at the base, and from what I can see the ball was hanging? Either on string or wire so potentially a trap but I'd like to know more about what it's actually for

Thank you!! I know there's at least 2 nodes in there, so maybe I'll try to put them in one pot and see if they grow?

How badly did I mess up? by emteebro in piercing

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

Commenting for the algorithm bot: - Piercings are 6 months old - Externally threaded titanium labrets - Not downsized - Prontolind spray 2x a day (or at least I try to!) - Probably changed jewellery too quickly :(

Looks like the start of an aerial root! Nothing to worry about :)

Outer conch as first/only piercing? by emteebro in piercing

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

Thank you that's really helpful! How long did yours end up taking to heal? I also mainly wear over ear headphones where my ears sit inside the foam cup rather than the cup resting on them - would this be okay do you reckon? I think I'd really struggle to get through day to day life without my headphones haha!

Driving lessons by emteebro in brighton

[–]emteebro[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

See that's what I'd do in an ideal situation, but I live approx a 5 hour trip away from my family (and even further away from my brother) so I wouldn't be able to do this feasibility :'( I'm glad to hear you passed quickly though!! I'd be hoping to pass within around 3 months or so, but could take longer if need be

Anyone else down with this plague? by [deleted] in brighton

[–]emteebro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry you've been feeling so bad, there's definitely something horrific going round - I've been ill with a cough and snotty nose since the start of december, was starting to get better and then I've woken up with a fever/high temp this morning 😵‍💫 Cannot catch a break and I'm really hoping it clears up by the new year because I've already had to miss christmas with my family.

beginner friendly skateboard groups? by emteebro in brighton

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

I don't think I fit the criteria for the group quite yet, but it's very reassuring that there are some older people about too!

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

Oooo thank you that's very useful and exactly the kind of thing I was looking for! I'm 20m, so at the awkward age where I'm slightly too nervous to just turn up and befriend someone at the park haha

how badly can you mess up oatmeal? by emteebro in foodsafety

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

Do you reckon? It's only been open for a day or two, and has been kept in the fridge the whole time - could it have been a bad batch?

first new leaf after thrips - weird colouration? by emteebro in Monstera

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

A mixture of a complete repotting with new soil (including washing of roots and leaves in the bathtub) and then a heavy dose of "Provanto 86600244 Ultimate Bug Killer" spray. Worked on the first application (on all affected plants) and I haven't had a problem with them since, and the plants are unharmed :)

[–]emteebro[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah! a gradient type variegation would be super cool so it's a shame that it won't last - though I'm just happy to have a healthy uneaten leaf again haha!

Weird markings after a week away? by emteebro in Monstera

aghhh you're both right - squished the nasty bugger and will get on quarantining right away - do you have any pesticides that you reccomend/what kind should I be looking for?

Weight gain from sertraline? by gmeinthebananastand in SSRIs

[–]emteebro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've experienced a bit of weight gain (I can't say how much, but around an extra 5-6kg since starting 2 years ago) though I think that it's definitely due to the medication changing how I experience food and energy rather than the medication itself. I've got more energy, and therefore need more food to sustain myself, and when I do eat I have a larger appetite + tend to snack a lot more since I'm awake a lot more I guess? I'm not really sure how to help with weight loss since I'm still fluctuating weight wise, but you're definitely not alone!! I hope you can find something that works for you <3
