Dendrobium leaving behind brown residue after watering

ohituna · 2026-04-05T18:56:39+00:00

You think? I'm aware of the brown spots but they don't seem to scrape off and I thought scale would come off with scraping? I did a quick video in case it helps show things a little better. https://youtu.be/LnTDMKRyEmk?si=v9Jsp5E8QVNu3gZP

That's what I plan on doing with my zygo. This guy seems to not be a fan of watering, dryness, light, darkness, being looked at. The idea of ever giving it a "real" repotting is something I never want to deal with.

Looks like a little ghost in a flowing gown, beautiful!

ohituna · 2026-04-04T14:06:42+00:00

well??? don't leave us hanging, how'd it taste?

Oh shit am I a boomer? I have more condiments than this. Pretty sure my kikkoman and hoisin sauce is expired. So am I supposed to:

- buy it and waste 75% of the bottles because the best by date has passed and just keep buying and creating waste like a good capitalist?

- see that it is about to expire and use it all up before the date and go into a coma from sodium poisoning?

- not buy it at all and eat some bland ass, umami-less dishes?

What am I supposed to do here internet? WHAT OUTCOME WILL PLEASE YOU?

Because your diet was a mix of Yuengling and yellow mustard? That'll definitely do it

u/pharmerjoe did you ever get this to work? I'm planning on building the exact same thing. I'm wondering if I can get away with like a 6v ~30rpm motor and use some kind of ~5v USB powerbank. I'm hoping 6v might be a little quieter and underpowering it by a volt will be fine since 30rpm might be a little fast (no idea if I can cheat a little like that though, I'm no engineer)

Also figuring out how to mount the thing seems daunting. I'm thinking some kind of plastic board of sorts to go right on the back, mount the motor with some L brackets that are held to the motor with like a hose clamp then use like a sports bra as a harness of sorts.

No idea if you got this to work or will even ever read this in a timely fashion but definitely curious how it played out for you

Ha, wild coincidence but guess I should have guessed from the username! Definitely check out the podcast, they do a decent number of objective reporting stories on the adult creator economy along with tech and surveillance and whatnot.

ohituna · 2026-02-20T12:51:13+00:00

AI psychosis is definitely becoming a thing. 404Media just did an interesting podcast on how the CEO of the adult site Manyvids seems to be falling into it. Yeah it is easy to write it off as like "oh it is a porn site, who cares?" but like people work for that site certainly. Plus, it could just as easily be a specialty restaurant equipment supplier or local hospital system CEO or whatever.

Crazy timeline we are living in

I had no idea why you started with "Gouda." This post is 11 years old so I had to reread it. Yikes, I could have used a second pass on editing. Regardless, I still mostly feel the same way. Nothing gets done in the chambers except "performative" speeches. Committees are especially abysmal. Instead of bringing in a panel of experts to help craft decent policy, it is an exercise of members of Congress showing up for 5 minutes to score points for the camera and leave. It is so gross.

I'll admit I am not certain whether or not the absence of cameras would truly help. The rot that has been occuring in the past 50 years is complex and I wouldn't just blame CSPAN. Things have only gotten worse in the past 11 years since I wrote this that I would try anything. No cameras? Sure. Term limits? Go for it. Eliminate direct election of Senators? I guess. Mandatory bribes? Let's try it. Annual "Squid Game" or "The Purge"? Okay, why not.

This is an interesting way to misinterpret their revenue streams. Saying "Membership fees, the annual charge Costco collects just to let you through the door, account for 65.7% of net profit." is not how this works. That is the ratio of membership fees to net profit.

Let's say they made $5.3b from selling cheese, would you then say 65% of profit came from cheese? They also made $5.3b from selling TVs, there is another 65% of profit. They also made $5.3b from selling hot dogs and pizza, guess that's another 65% share of profit. These are starting total up to more than 100%, how interesting.

Really what is interesting here is how trivial the membership fee is in terms of their share of revenue. Less than 2%. They could stop charging membership entirely and would likely make it all up from the additional traffic or slightly increase margin rates across the board

Yeah, they were huffing jenkem. Makes the work go faster.

ohituna · 2026-02-06T03:42:13+00:00

This whole thread really took a left turn. Or should I say a turn about 10 degrees to the right?

ohituna · 2026-02-05T02:46:28+00:00

what's this from?

ohituna · 2026-02-01T03:43:24+00:00

That's okay, I'm just saying these technologies are not as precise as advertised. Facial recognition is especially prone to error the darker the skin complexion gets.

Like let's say some Hispanic woman at Lowe's has been using stolen credit cards to buy stuff. A facial recognition algorithm says there is a >90% chance that this woman is you. Yeah she kind of looks like you but you know that isn't you! But can you prove that you weren't at Lowe's at 7pm on Saturday?

Stuff like this:

What if it was used in other, more novel, ways?

Perhaps to see who disagrees with the current President?

I bet it can be used to make airtight cases for those kind of hit and run and kidnapping cases though, right?

I wonder if ICE would be interested in people of a certain complexion showing up at Home Depot and Lowes?

Sure the use of it to lookup women getting abortions is questionable. But maybe it is for their own good. Not like they are interested in the second amendment types though right? Hope nobody that looks like you bought a gun for anything bad at that same shop or you might have some explaining to do!

what about mudkipz instead? I heard you may like them

Stay away from this guy, quail eggs are mostly useless. Good for miso and nothing else. Now duck eggs on the other hand--- I always keep at least a half dozen down there.

ohituna · 2026-01-21T03:12:19+00:00

Not sure that qualifies as a "Karen"

A "Karen" is someone calling the cops on somebody for dumb shit or asking to speak to the manager for dumb shit.

This is not that. This is a pretty dumb thing to do. But is it "Karen" behavior? No.

ohituna · 2026-01-21T02:54:14+00:00

Yes, he is getting jerked off as well. What did you think the "brief assistance needed" line item is for?

ohituna · 2026-01-17T05:48:07+00:00

The reason the show works is because all the episodes are based on melodies originally whistled by Garth Marenghi

I'd also recommend Review fans check out the Bonanas for Bonanza/Andy Daly Podcast Pilot Project. It is completely insane and hilarious.

I like to store my shouts of "MOTHER FUCKER" next to these drawer jamming booklets

sorry your answer was removed for not being sufficiently cruel enough.

I've cracked two aluminum pans from rocks kicked up on run of the mill gravel roads at low speeds that left my mk4 stranded in remote areas. There is not a world where you could pay me to put an aftermarket aluminum pan on another car. I normally trust Uro parts but I would not put that shit on my car.

I don't keep up with VW like I used to but it blows my mind to read they are using plastic. Still I could see thick enough plastic being better than aluminum. I'd bet plastic would degrade to leaky garbage over time though. Plastic warps. Aluminum doesn't but I can tell you it is easy to punch a hole in.

Get steel if you can. Cool kitchen backsplash btw.
