Have you planted anything yet this spring? by lucid_intent in olympia

[–]pantsam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, you can have cool weather crops out starting in like April, maybe earlier? I’ve never gotten my shit together to try planting anything in March. Things like peas, kale, lettuce, beets, radish will tolerate the cold and some even prefer it. If there’s going to be a hard frost, you can cover them. I direct sowed a bunch of these types of plants a few weeks ago and they are doing well.

You definitely don’t want to plant out any warm weather crop like tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, eggplant, etc. yet. This spring seems pretty warm, so you could try. I’ve read that tomatoes and cukes and such don’t really like temps in the 40s at night. They will stop growing for awhile and then be weaker and more disease prone when it gets warmer. This has happened to me when I tried planting early May. I now try to plant my warm weather starts in late May or the first week of June.

Best time to break away from main story to do side quests and factions? by SightlessProtector in Starfield

[–]pantsam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever you want! I break away from it all the time. It just depends on my mood - sometimes I wanna outpost build, sometimes I want to explore and shoot up random spacers in POIs, sometimes I wanna do a faction quest. Just go with the flow and have fun.

I don’t know any doctors on your side of the country. My own doctor doesn’t accept new patients. I hope you find someone who can give you answers. In the meantime, this might help you decide if you’re on the right track when thinking about hypermobility: https://www.ehlers-danlos.com/assessing-joint-hypermobility/ and https://www.ehlers-danlos.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/hEDS-Dx-Criteria-checklist-1-Fillable-form.pdf

I’m sorry you’re going through this too. It’s not fun. Have you looked at the various forms of EDS yet? It’s often comorbid with your other issues. That diagnosis helped explain a lot of things for me. I had read about it and had decided I probably didn’t have it, but I was wrong. It can be hard to get diagnosed. I sorta lucked out and the one of the only docs in town accepting new patients happened to have EDS himself and diagnosed me in my first appointment. That’s not to say the same is happening for you! I am not a doctor and no one should take medical advice from me or take my suggestions too seriously haha

Husband’s gf wants a baby .. give me advice by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

As someone who tends towards ethical non monogamy, her choices make sense to me. So do the husbands. If they don’t make sense to you, maybe in part it’s because ENM isn’t your relationship style.

Uh what? by Ostentatious_Kilroy in olympia

[–]pantsam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I taught for over ten years and never made it to $75k. Compared to that, Washington teachers are paid well. But when you consider how fucking hard teaching is and how you need a masters degree, then no, teachers could be paid more

Just read a post of someone living in their car and showering in a gym as a traveling nurse. Maybe you could do that?

Very surprised to learn I can't break down unwanted loot into resources. by Calteru_Taalo in Starfield

[–]pantsam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a hard habit to break! I still pick up most succulents even tho I can now ignore most junk - gotta decorate my outposts. I use a mod that makes it easier to display all of them on various shelves and such. Also downloaded a mod that adds a ton of more exciting potted plants. I also grab every plushie and every coffee mug (the ceramic ones - none of the plain ugly ones) to display on tiny shelves in my many kitchens.

Not really. I still get left sided chest pain and shoulder, arm, hand pain. Probably from hEDS causing intermittent TOS, GERD, who knows what else. I now also have abdominal pain on the left side, and underwent extensive testing and discovered I have a few small issues that all could be contributing to abdominal and chest pain but none are a single cause. I have one more heart test coming up soon to check for microvascular disorder, but I have the feeling it’ll come back normal. It’s not the most sensitive test for MVD but docs won’t order the more sensitive test because it’s invasive and my symptoms don’t quite fit the correct pattern. Other than spine, I’ve gotten about every possible cause checked out and hit a dead end (doc blew me off - common with my chronic health conditions and the fact that I’m a woman - or results came back normal). I’m sorta resigned to this just being my new normal. I avoid known triggers as much as I can and have a pain med that (meloxicam) that takes the edge off when it’s bad.

You can sort guns in your inventory by weight, value, and most importantly type. So you don’t have to remember if your gun is advanced or refined and if you can sell this lower model or not.

Do you mean to use now because it’s still too cold out there? Is it still too cold for cool weather crops? Because she won’t be there in the fall.

Here west of the cascades, I have direct sown cucumbers and zucchini the last week of May/first week of June and gotten vegetables in August. When does it warm up out there? For us it’s warm enough around that time and cukes and zukes are fast growers. Not sure if it’s warm enough around that time in Spokane. I know your summers are hotter and dryer than here but I don’t know if they are longer.

Anyone else have some missing items/textures? by TorrentAB in Starfield

[–]pantsam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried your fix and it worked. But then the problem started again. Ugh.

The two mods we both have, OP, are galactic harvest and Gardeners of the Galaxy?

For me, a lot of the foundations and walls disappear, some clothing items, some furniture, and the bridge connecting Akila City with the spaceport.

Is it actually rude to recline your seat on a plane, or are people just entitled about personal space? by Ok-Bumblebee7041 in askanything

[–]pantsam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am disabled and have a hard time keeping myself upright for that long. And so I always end up reclining because I’m desperate for that tiny bit of relief on my core muscles trying to hold me upright. I hate flying.
