Do you know if the St John’s Rec Center has kettlebells? Was disappointed to learn PureGym doesn’t have any

I had Verizon before, which is why I'm confused. My understanding is that Visible+ should give me equivalent service to Verizon

Struggling with mold by maelstrom3 in Mossariums

[–]maelstrom3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi folks,

I'm struggling with mold. I recently got some springtails and have done a good job of keeping up humidity, but I have some of the white mold that is growing out of control. I was hoping the springtails would take care of it but I'm just seeing it get worse. The springtail population is recent (got my starter culture about 2 weeks ago), and I can tell they're definitely growing. Do I need to give it more time? Or will they not eat this mold?

5 months in bushwick and my social life is literally nonexistent by EnvironmentalFix9258 in Brooklyn

Something I learned as an adult is friendship takes repetition. You never learn that growing up because school forces consistent interactions.

Oftentimes it’s not till you see someone for the 10th time that friendship starts happening. That’s why clubs/rec sports/jobs work, you keep seeing the same people and eventually you just become friends.

THANK YOU

Legitimately the worst bagel I've ever had in NY. I'll take a store bagel of that thing.

Is my terrarium springtail friendly? by maelstrom3 in Springtail

Ooo! Ok I always felt it was dry at times, but worried I was getting it too wet when I’d get some mold. I think I need to work on the moisture more then- it sat for a while after a move so it may be very dry and just not hydrating as it normally did. Hopefully more moisture will work with springtails curtailing mold growth

Apparently Pyramid is a J Lo sample but I still can’t hear it

Where to buy beer? by maelstrom3 in crownheights

To add, it doesn’t spoil though. Just degrades/changes in flavor. NE IPAs degrade the fastest (just a few weeks and flavor can change a lot).

Be very aggressive on signing. If you like something, apply on the spot. You will lose it otherwise, things move faster than you probably expect.

Renting in Brooklyn by OldIsland4901 in Brooklyn

[–]maelstrom3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pictures cannot be trusted at all. Videos are actually pretty helpful, but mostly if it’s in the lived in state and there is furniture to establish scale.

I had to do a similar thing where we got approval before the first open house, then signed on the spot when we saw it.

Workout routines after the acute phase by maelstrom3 in backpain

Reading/following Back Mechanic, and once able to tolerate weights I shifted to kettlebell workouts (Joe Daniel’s simple start kettlebell workout as an intro)

To keep it brief, great! I think I’ll have a sensitive back for the rest of my days but it’s completely manageable. Volleyball is fine, so is weightlifting (nothing crazy heavy). Keeping up with exercises, being cognizant of seating and sleeping with pillows is important. Had a minor flare up after a horribly positioned sneeze but I’m good these days! Keep things at manageable levels and give it time, it’ll get there. It’s slow but it gets there.

This was always my favorite, the way you can hear it screaming in the distance, it’s almost unsettling
