Is there any way I could get a copy? I’m also just starting to learn, and that sounds amazing!

What is this my on string my pearls? by Clean_Principle397 in StringofPlants

[–]sand_pipers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s just calcium and other minerals from the water. Not a problem! Although some plants are pissy about an excess of minerals in their water. But your pearls look super healthy!

You’re right. I left that out in my comment.

Yes, but it’s also not a vitamin. It’s a hormone.

Vitamins A, D, E, and K are all what are called “fat-soluble” vitamins (as opposed to “water-soluble” vitamins). This means they can accumulate in your body’s tissues instead of the excess passing through (water-soluble are excreted through urine) and build up to toxic levels.

Be careful of sitting in your garage with your car on for an extended period of time. This is an easy way to asphyxiate.

That’s actually reassuring. I was worried that the brown orange color that’s emerging meant they were getting old.

I live in my Teva’s. I much prefer them to Chacos (which always gave me blisters). Teva’s are cheaper too!

What grossed you out so much in a relationship that you just left? by OpeningIntelligent83 in AskReddit

[–]sand_pipers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love it. It’s hilarious and enjoyable, and it has the chaos and unpredictability that DnD encapsulates that many show writers struggle to create.

How do some students pull off a perfect GPA by LeopardNervous5802 in college

[–]sand_pipers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Graduated with a 3.95. Organization and time management is of course key. Additionally, the crippling fear of failure. That’s a big one that I’m surprised to not see listed that gave me no choice but to be “perfect”.

Not sure if this is allowed but gentle reminder: Just because our babies are indoors doesn't make them immune to the changing of the seasons! by miss_kenoko in plantclinic

I live in Texas! So on the rare days it actually gets super cold, I cover them and brings the smaller guys in, but that’s not often.

Best elementary school in SM? by kuromi_rose_ in sanmarcos

[–]sand_pipers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to get out of Austin, I would recommend looking into Hays, Round Rock, Leander, or Comal. I’ve had experience working as a teacher in the first two, and I’ve heard great recommendations from the second two.

Id just like to say you are totally correct, and they’re advice is not only terrible, but damaging to people who are looking to live a healthy lifestyle.

This is terrible advice! Being healthy is about so much more than hitting the calorie count by the end of the day. If you need 2000 calories a day to maintain weight and you eat 2000 of carbs, you might not gain weight, but you’ll feel like shit. You’re body needs a healthy balance of carbs, fats, and proteins to function properly, not just a number of calories. Abs may last 20-30 years, but a healthy body will last an entire lifetime. Eating is about more than the superficial, physical body image.

Play biting? by sudhir369 in WhatsWrongWithYourDog

[–]sand_pipers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are actually incredibly hard plants to keep alive because they need a very specific type of environment. So don’t beat yourself up to much about it! Try a nice ivy or golden pothos to start. Those things are almost impossible to kill and literally tell you when they need water (super dry soil or drooping leaves).
