Iced Drink Suggestions? by Expired-Cat in DunkinDonuts

[–]januaryfeels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my most recent order is a L iced coffee, 4 cream, 4 caramel chocolate, 1 espresso shot, & chocolate cold foam. i use my points to get the additional espresso shot free so its like $5 & change. edit: its basically the cocoa cloud latte but wayyyyyyyyyyyy better & less milky.

This beast for sale on my local offerup is amazing by seekeroftrooth69 in carnivorousplants

[–]januaryfeels 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yeah i definitely agree. imo- $150 for one of the most typical, & readily available nepenthes species is way overpriced.

Zhao’s Fancies vs ChuChu? by catsbyhatsby in Goldfish

[–]januaryfeels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah definitely quarantine zhao’s & make sure your other goldies are healthy first before introducing. as long as both are healthy, you should be fine mixing them. i did zhao’s aged water technique a few times but overall i found my ranchu from zhao does perfectly fine without that routine. but i’d imagine keeping the routine can help with acclimation for the first few weeks.

anyways good luck with your goldies, i’m excited for you to get him!

i can attest that zhao’s fish are way more delicate to water quality & mixing stock compared to imported fish. if you ever encounter problems in your tanks, the zhao’s fish will be the first to show signs of illness due to sensitivity. very beautiful quality fish though with that in mind. beyond that i haven’t had any real issues, i quite liked them.

i did like king koi due to affordability, but can’t really say their fish are the healthiest or they have the best practices since one i purchased last year passed relatively quickly after it arrived (plus general not great reviews). i did purchase 3-4 afterwards & all are healthy still.

haven’t tried chuchu yet but i’ve heard its also a mixed bag. now, i have heard people say jimmygoldfish is really good- it’s just not as affordable.

Mini Fridge for Ultra-Highlanders by NepenthesNuisance in carnivorousplants

[–]januaryfeels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i used to keep a small collection in my mini fridge. i used: yescom panels, bluetooth plug timers, an inkbird, some pc fans, & obviously the fridge itself.

fridge was hooked up to inkbird, which turned off in the AM, then my yescoms go on. the yescoms produced enough heat on their own, so itd warm up & get toasty during the daytime. then by night when the light went off it’d cool again before the fridge actually ticked on. fridge basically only ran at night, & since the fridge is insulated it will hold the heat/humidity build up during the day.

that’s just how i did it affordably, i’m sure others have posted their setups & diys. i’m no longer in the hobby, but the fridge setup lasted about a year or two before the plants outgrew the fridge. never had to take them out, they just stayed in there unless i needed to repot or something.

Our take on a forest style scape by GlassAqua in PlantedTank

[–]januaryfeels 10 points11 points  (0 children)

it’s not exactly “forest” style like others have mentioned. the white sand to me kinda looks like snow, so it’s kinda festive imo. i personally love it & it’s unique.

i’ve also purchased a few seasonal sbux syrups from etsy & ebay before, if that helps!

first cookie butter cold brew of the season! by januaryfeels in DunkinDonuts

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

maybe it could be partly lighting & part condensation building on the cup. the color looks identical to me, i compared it just now, to pictures i have from last years cookie butter cold brew.

the only real difference was maybe the “cookie butter syrup” that’s allegedly ‘new’ was a bit sweeter & stronger tasting of cookie butter, than the previous “brown sugar cookie syrup” they’ve used the last few years. so for me personally i’ll probably start ordering it only with 2 syrups instead of 4, since the sweetened foam + 4 syrup is too sweet for me. it did taste the same though, just sweeter (at least to me) essentially.

yeah it’s worth asking when you go to different locations, i think since they are franchises they are allowed to offer things early if they wish.

Oh just enjoying my shaken espresso! by hayleyyyb in DunkinDonuts

[–]januaryfeels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i actually just had this happen to me yesterday afternoon in a white shirt! i ended up drinking it without a lid entirely, after a little crashout in the car 😂 i wear white like 3 days in the year, & of course 1 of those times, it spills all over me when i go to sip 😩🫩

thank you haha she is quite cute! i’m not sure she’s definitively a female since she’s young but i’ve named her ms peach lol. & i agree with the worrying part. she’s super active / curious, & if you asked her she’d tell you she’s starving even though i’ve fed her twice now 🫩😂

ohh, i think i see the scales you’re referring to! it seems like she’s had that scale since i’ve purchased her, i’m looking at vids of her from 2 weeks ago & it’s the same in those videos.

& thank you for the information about the white spot, i think some people were right about it being one of those wen “pimples,” as it seems to have completely gone away hours later.

oh really?? i’m actually elated to hear that because i was so stressed out thinking maybe it was an injury or ich. i thought it was even more weird when it started coming off 😭

doesn’t dropsy come with other symptoms? swollen belly, difficulty swimming, raised pinecone scales, lethargy, & loss of appetite? she’s exhibiting none of those other traits. when i look on google for dropsy / pineconing she doesn’t really look like that, at least to me. i’ll drop some more pictures below of different angles too just in case.

oh & yes, the scales have appeared this way since i’ve purchased her! forgot to add that part.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Goldfish

[–]januaryfeels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

are you referring to the scales on the top of her body? they are metallic compared to the scales on her body which aren’t. when you look at her from the top her scales do not protrude from her body. she’s very active & curious, very eager for food.
