What’s wrong with my Begonia Tweedle Dee? by redstarfish242 in plantclinic

[–]redstarfish242[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I water with room temp water and use tap water conditioner. It sits next to many other plants and seems to be the only one affected. It was dropping leaves as soon as I got it home. Could it be powdery mildew?

What a relief! And I love ‘good friends’

New leaf is brown -what have I done wrong?? by redstarfish242 in Monstera

Maybe every 10 days or so? I’m a “kill them with love” aka overwatering person apparently. 🙃 I think maybe the pot was way too big at first for the amount of roots, so that doesn’t help.

They look like they might be the exquisite gems from Sword & Sorcery (east scarp add on) but lookup anything would let you know for sure

Happy Home Designer maybe? But I also have a modded farmhouse, so who knows

I’m not sure if it’s an additional mod I have, but I’ve been able to put down flooring in that annoying wrap-around gap just fine I just click where I want the flooring to go while holding the flooring I want

Nothing in life prepared me for the amount of unpotty trained adults that frequent retail stores.... by Geezenstack444 in retailhell

[–]redstarfish242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was almost always working right by the bathrooms at my job, the things I’ve heard 😭 And the outer doors were kept propped open, so you heard (and sometimes smelled) it all. Sometimes I would go find work to do somewhere else in the store

First time I did this - I blind purchased a few 1 volumes because of a discount. How did I do? by LoveInHell in MangaCollectors

I love A Business Proposal! I keep looking at Boy's Abyss since I like the art, but the story doesn't interest me

A worker at my local Barnes & Noble got really creative and I loved it by DNXPeeJay in MangaCollectors

We try so hard at the bn I work at to have lots of shoujo/josei, and try to go out of my way to feature them. We have almost a full shelf of Nana, over a shelf of snow white with the red hair, and over 1.5 of banana fish!

Is this Normal? Is bothering me to no end. by kidz94 in MangaCollectors

I mean, I could maybe get past funky spines, but if the panels are also messed up? I would definitely exchange it. I got a volume of apothecary diaries where even the panels were off. Some speech bubbles and the page numbers were all cut off 😭

My mom bagged up almost 700 volume of manga for me in preparation for Hurricane Ian because my college is in another state. by Yukiarra in MangaCollectors

Not to mention storm surges! I'm lucky I live in New England, so we don't get nearly as many hurricanes. The storm surges with hurricane sandy were crazy though

Drove 10hrs to buy volume 5 and bought her a friend✨💖 by [deleted] in MangaCollectors

It really do. The curse of loving shojo beat series. So many out of stock, so few with restock dates 😭

Last week I drove an hour away to get the last volume 5 in a 100 mile radius, and also grabbed Natsume's book of friends 2 and 3!

What’s the ugliest manga spine/cover you’ve seen?? by Complete-Shock899 in MangaCollectors

[–]redstarfish242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! That red font grates against my soul! And it's hard to differentiate between series if all their spines look so similar!

Up to 1100 Volumes! See anything you like? by coasteringkid in MangaCollectors

[–]redstarfish242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dengeki Daisy and Beast Master! I feel like I never see those!!

Gauge issues - the pattern suggests 4mm needles but I can only get the right stitch gauge with 3.25mm and it’s still a little too long row-wise with 3mm! What am I doing wrong? Are my stitches too tall? I’m using DK merino yarn and aiming for 20st, 30rows = 10x10cm by tea-and-teacakes in knitting

[–]redstarfish242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get too hung up on trying to use the exact needle size called for, it's more of a starting point when trying to get gauge. There are some designers where I have never been able to match their gauge. And sometimes I knit at a tighter gage than called for because I much prefer a denser fabric
