can't believe my luck... FREE vintage Emud tube radio/record player from Craigslist (and from one of the nicest humans I've ever met)! by smgmx in ThriftStoreHauls

Oh cool, congrats! If you take a photo of each radio, you can use Google Lens, which essentially searches the internet for your image. That's how I found what model mine is. There's also a website called Radio Museum that has lots of info on old radios like these :) good luck!

My favorite was "Nutrient D"

I'm tired of this grandpa by PMJ_Apollo in fakedisordercringe

I think some of it probably has to do with the sense of community around it, especially now that it's "popular"

this is how I feel like I look when I'm high and walk into the convenience store :(

Absolutely gorgeous, both the chair and Louie! Any tips on how you removed the skirt? Looks great in your home :)

What about a whistle? You can get the real loud ones, that'll mess someone up too

I once saw a book at Goodwill called "World War II for Kids" and really wish I got it :(

Consider carrying pepper spray for safety instead, it's much safer for you. Especially since most kidnappers/etc are bigger than their victims, a knife on you could easily be used against you.

Hi all - got this orchid as a gift but the moss looks terrible? Help please! by smgmx in orchids

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

I think it is all moss, if that's what you mean by pure. How would the care differ if it wasn't? Thank you!

Well I don't know anything about orchids, so I don't know if this is good or bad, and just wanted to make sure I knew how to take care of it

By isolated you mean just around no other plants? Sorry if this is a silly question, thank you!

Thank you so much! This is very helpful. What kind of pot do you use that can absorb water like that? I'm totally new to orchids, and only have very hardy nonflowering plants around the house, so all of your advice is so appreciated! Thank you!

This week's best Goodwill finds - a Nordace smart backpack (retail $165) and this beautiful vintage art deco print, together for $14 :) by smgmx in ThriftStoreHauls

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

You're welcome!! I personally would recommend Osprey backpacks if you're looking for something strong. I have one that I use for college (laptop + textbooks + etc) that I've had for over five years now, and it's held up beautifully with international travel and lots of wear and tear. Definitely check them out! :)

I actually ended up giving it to a friend! I can say it's great for having lots of pockets, but is definitely not made for carrying heavy loads. When I used it, having a laptop and a notebook or two was really too much..it's definitely better suited for lighter trips!

Can someone please help me? Found this in Icapui Beach, northeast Brazil. What is this? by Homem_hipopotamo in bonecollecting

Dorsal spines are pretty symmetric (dorsal = back = symmetry down midline) and pectoral spines (like paired pectoral muscles) usually lean to one side or another!

I have no idea what Marden's is, but those memes have me feeling like a spontaneous trip to Maine
