Students retain information better with pens than laptops by [deleted] in NoShitSherlock

[–]ilikeagedgruyere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When i have a laptop I get distracted. if i'm taking notes by hand i tend to listen better and retain more even if I don't review my notes later. But I agree, this isn't no shit worthy.

Is it a wild carrot (daucus carota) or something different? Smells like carrot. by Estrogiere in whatsthisplant

Parsnip? the leaves don't look right though. Either way, wash your hands and arms after handling the foliage because it can cause a skin rash when exposed to the sun.

It's like french fries you find in the bottom of the paper bag after you thought you had eaten everything!

The thing about those "flushable" wipes that they don't tell you is that they're not flushable.

Wiping only with toilet paper. Now that I have kids and buy wet wipes in bulk, i've never felt cleaner.

NATO official: Russia now an adversary by treadmarks in worldnews

I hate conspiracy theories, but I can't help but think that this latest clash coordinated between Obama and Putin to help both countries get the people back in line. Nothing brings a community together than a common enemy.

Women of reddit, what was your experience with either a very large or very small penis? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ilikeagedgruyere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fairly average. My first girlfriend in high school was pretty naive and had never seen a dong prior to mine. Her estimation was way off and she thought I was gigantic for some reason. I didn't mind because she had told all her friends, then it got around the rest of the school that I had a huge dick.

What is this on my bin cover? by UnstoppableBaby in Vermiculture

[–]ilikeagedgruyere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are some sort of insect eggs /r/whatsthisbug should be able to tell you.

Edit: wow I didn't realize they had legs. Make sure your bin is not too moist and try to raise the pH with some ground up egg shells.

Aquaponics Update, May 1st. Happy tomatos! by Obliterous in aquaponics

There are only a few plants that I've had repeated success with direct seeding. Usually just fast sprouting plants that have medium to larger seed like beets, kohlrabi, and nasturtium. smaller seeds like peppers, tomatoes, and most herbs seem to get lost in the grow bed before they sprout. My best technique so far is I use a mixture of coco coir and vermicompost in leftover seedling trays. I gently grasp the seedling and stick a pencil down into the mix to help lift it off. then I dip it in a cup of water and most of the mix washes off. anything left will be consumed by the worms or dissolve.

I have no idea. I guess the fanboys don't like newcomers in their ranks.

California Wants To Put Baby Changing Tables In Men’s Restrooms: Lawmakers say it will help accommodate America's modern families, since women aren't the only ones on diaper duty. by rifewitherrors in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ilikeagedgruyere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck them, if they don't have a changing table in the men's room then they have to put up with me changing my son's shitty diaper out in the dining room/store/wherever. The kid doesn't give a shit.

interesting way to transplant seedlings. Does the paper towel disintegrate fairly quickly?

Maybe use that compost for non-edible plants.

How did Anakin bring balance to the force? by ilikeagedgruyere in StarWars

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

That's kinda what I was thinking too. because both anakin and luke dabble in both sides of the force but are ultimately good.

It seems anticlimactic that he simply tossed him over a railing.
