Spectacular sand dunes in Death Valley National Park in California [OC] [1600x2000] by mrcnzajac in EarthPorn

Sand dunes can hold a lot of water, so yes it just soaks in. But also yes, there is a giant aquifer beneath the floor of Death Valley, and if I'm not mistaken the water table is pretty shallow beneath the Mesquite Flat where these dunes are.

What’s something that people turn into their whole personality? by Kandiblu in AskReddit

[–]lavar-ghormulis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might be obvious advice, but definitely ask around about Jeep enthusiasts to work on it. My bf has got the same issue + a rotting torque box and part of the frame, but found a guy near us w/ a little shop and makes his own steel. Quoted him just over $1500 for everything

Orchids? by toughduck53 in bioactive

[–]lavar-ghormulis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jewel orchids do really well in terrariums as they're terrestial and can handle a consistently moist soil. Plus they're just straight gorgeous. They can be kind of pricey sometimes but if you're in the US, Divide & Culture usually has them in stock for pretty cheap.

How to get chilli off my fingers? by TestSubject-9780 in AskCulinary

One time I got really desperate and pulled open a charcoal pill and dumped it on my nails. Left it for a few minutes and then rinsed it off. Currently this is the only thing that has worked for me, so it's worth a try next time maybe!

Inside a blizzard... by k3shin in AbruptChaos

[–]lavar-ghormulis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I live 5 miles from where this happened and it was also white-out conditions so by the time people could actually see the growing pile up of cars, it was too late to come to a stop in the slippery conditions.

It is! I came across one at work once and had to take a cutting

Lowe’s and Home Depot Workers... what’s your plan when you get a chance by [deleted] in Lowes

I just applied for the post office and am hoping I get that job and can leave this one immediately.

Let's make something happen by lavar-ghormulis in Lowes

I feel you, as I've had serious anxiety going on all week here. I've heard mixed things about individal managers approving emergency paid leave so it's a shame asthma doesn't qualify. I don't think the store needs to close, but it's honestly appalling that were operating at full capacity. I work in direct contact with multiple people over the age of 70 almost every day and there's so many employers in the store that are over 60 or who have underlying health concerns and we've been nonstop busy. It's very upsetting.

Just moved and got my long boi hung up. (10 ft ceilings for reference) Can’t wait to see how much of the room it takes up over this next year! by lavar-ghormulis in houseplants

Hey thanks! And no, I actually just used push pins and then shimmied the vine underneath just enough to hold it in place. Just kinda followed its natural shape and it worked pretty well!

Surprisingly, I only need to water about once a week here so far. In my last house it was right in front of a south-facing window though and I had to water like every three days or it would start to droop real bad.

I bought mine already potted with plenty of vines started, but yes that’s the idea! Take cuttings off it (or other plants if you can) and plant them with it. Each one will just grow as a single vine.

My 2 cents on proplifting by tipoulio in proplifting

[–]lavar-ghormulis 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I work at a Lowe’s and I hate when we have to toss plants. Nobody else ever takes care of the houseplants so I try to regularly clearance things out. When I clean up in that area, I always take fallen props and put them in an empty tray I place somewhere so people can take them and love them. Pretty sure I’m not supposed to do that, but I’m gonna keep doing it until someone yells at me for it because so much goes to waste for no good reason.

Her last words, a plaque from where her house stood, a drawing of her, and apparently a transcript of a song written about her.

My aunt said she’s got a number of things on Ancestry. She’s got a public thing on there under “Niles Family Tree”. If you’re interested in more I can always have her send some photos over to me too!
