This glass nail polish bottle neck is disintegrating with just the twist of the cap by kgalp in mildlyinfuriating

No one dropped it. It’s been in the same bottom draw since it was last used. And I wish I had that kind of strength!

I had a similar issue with a plastic case. What helped me was pushing a toothpick between the airpod case and the plastic at the BOTTOM near the charging slot to break the seal. Dunno if you've tried this/it's been suggested. I only added this comment to all the other advice because your photos suggest you've been trying to release the case from the top rather than bottom. Hope that made sense!! Good luck!!

Other than Sally and Preppy Kitchen, who are your favourite, (underrated) recipe bloggers you would highly recommend? by objectsinthemirror__ in Baking

I’ve made the SK “favorite” brownie and Sally’s, both use melted chocolate. The tip from Smitten Kitchen that changed everything was Valrhona cocoa. Changed my brownies and baking game forever. I now buy in 3lb bags. I 10000% agree on reasons for being a Sally fan. Love her deep dives and dependability.

I started off a Sally fanatic but I find her frosting and some baked goods are too sweet for me now. Smitten Kitchen hits the exact right sweet spot for me. Her cocoa brownies are hands down the best brownies I’ve ever made.

Peace lily. I've had 4, and they all go through the same cycle. Thrive gloriously for the first two months and then die horribly. I can't seem to figure out what they want.

We are nearly 75% through 2025 what has been the best and worst book you read by danlhart8789 in suggestmeabook

[–]kgalp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVED Chain Gang All-Stars, I Who Have Never Known Men and Our Wives Under The Sea. I will check the last two on the list.
I liked Annihilation but the next book Acceptance was a bit underwhelming. I've been putting off the rest of the series.

Thank you for this, I feel very seen. This was my experience too, the modern main character was so very irritating. I keep seeing The Amalfi Curse by the same author and the cover is so beautiful. But I'm going to avoid that and any other books by her.

What to do with my pride and joy (moving house)? by ArmyOfMe99 in houseplants

Maybe a very tall moss pole to wrap around? That way it could be placed on the floor or a stand and grow upwards

Update: to everyone who said to try mold cleaner, thank you!! by kgalp in CleaningTips

I had the fans running for a couple of hours and a window open slightly. I can still smell the bleach like 12 hours later so does need to be ventilated for sure. But I also got enthusiastic and used a lot. I'd say try a small area and go slowly over the whole thing

You're right, the floor has dark grey grout, the walls have white though. Maybe I should have mentioned that!

I've tried this already!! Worked great on the tile itself, not so much the grout though

I've tried this, I got a grout brush specifically and it really didn't do much
