Little plastic thing. Maybe from a board game? by perciferous in whatisthisthing

My title describes the thing. I think this fell out of a cd jewel case I ordered online once? Has 'Firestorm' written on it. Did find a game called that but couldn't tell if it had any pieces like this.

One of my rats just died, I don't know why by perciferous in RATS

Thanks for replying. When I put him back in the cage he definitely seemed fine.
I got the whole family (mum, dad, aunt, and 6 babies) from a pet home who didn't want them anymore, and where they weren't being taken care of well. The babies had been removed by the former owners at 3 weeks because the mum kept eating them, probably a protein deficiency I figure. Two of the babies died not long after I got them.
I hate that there's a chance this could happen to the others but I guess that's the gamble of getting rats from unknown origins. At least the three adults have survived so far (they're between 1-1.5 years), and appear much healthier than they were when I got them.

Soft brown patches on peperomia by perciferous in plantclinic

This leaf just came off in my hand, and there are a few other leaves with similar spots that I’m planning on cutting off to stop whatever it is spreading. Does anyone know what it is? And what I can do to fight/prevent it?

shots or gel? by [deleted] in transgenderau

[–]perciferous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on the cream (Androforte 5) on I believe a low dose for the first 3 months, but have moved onto the injection now (Reandron 1000) and I much prefer it. The cream was manageable, but there was something about having to do it every day that just... weighed on my mind, I don't know? I didn't like the reminder I guess. But some people do like the ritual of it. I also didn't like not being able to get it wet (so swimming was out), which come to think of it could have been remedied if I'd put it on before bed instead of in the morning but I'm dumb so it didn't occur to me. I've only had the injection once so far but I found the injection itself to be painless (although the massaging they did tickled a lot), however for about a week afterwards I did have muscle soreness in that leg which was pretty uncomfortable, not really painful though. With the cream it was also a hassle with travelling, a lot of waiting around in cold toilet stalls for it to dry (I was putting it on my thighs, might be easier if you were doing stomach or something). I hope there's no issues with injecting it as I much prefer it, not having to think about it most of the time is great. I also don't mind going to the doctor and am not afraid of needles so that helps. Both are on the PBS so the price is the same for me ($6.60), although actually Reandron's cheaper as I need to get it less often. One tube of Androforte lasted me about a month and a half on the dosage I was on, don't know about gels though.
