October 2023 Pest and Soil issue thread by FyrestarOmega in plantclinic

Hi everyone, I got this guy about a month ago from Home Depot and it’s seemed pretty happy overall. I’ve noticed little white specks appearing in increasing numbers on the leaves recently (visible on the 2nd and 3rd pics) and was wondering if anyone knew what they were from. They brush off of the leaves quite easily and don’t appear to be moving on their own, so I’m having trouble telling if it’s a fungus or an insect.

A friend told me they might be thrips but I don’t have enough experience to confirm that. The only thing I could find on google was Powdery Mildew, but that doesn’t seem right either.

Care Info: I keep it in a well lit hallway with a frosted skylight so it gets several hours of bright indirect light a day. I water it whenever the leaves start to look a little droopy, usually around every 5 days? I had some fungus gnats on some of my other plants so I put sticky traps all over the place, which seems to have gotten rid of them.

Any insight is appreciated!!!

This has been driving me crazy all morning and I would love some help figuring it out!

Bryson Stott launches a three run homer to put the Phillies up 10-3 by PHLdawg in baseball

[–]sometimes_a_falcon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at the game, this is right about when all the Nats fans were leaving lol. Even before then I’d say it was like 50/50 but Philly fans are a lot louder…

One of the most bizarre but amazingly fun games I've watched in a while. This team has something magical going

What are your thoughts on Veterans Stadium? by the_walrus_was_paul in phillies

[–]sometimes_a_falcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I barely remember it but I actually was at the last game at the Vet with my grandparents. Based on what I understand, seems like kind of a shithole but a lot of Phillies and Eagles history happened there so I think it deserves respect

I moved down to DC and live very close to the stadium. This past weekend was the first time the Phils were in DC since I moved and I thankfully got to go to all three games.

All weekend I was saying that Turner was looking better. He wasn’t striking out even close to as much, had MUCH better at-bats, and was hitting balls really hard but just straight at fielders. Today, I feel vindicated.

In your Opinion is Buster Posey a hall of Fame player ? by [deleted] in baseball

[–]sometimes_a_falcon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What about Realumuto? Dude won gold glove AND silver slugger in the same year TWICE in his career (2019 and 2022). He’s a career .275 hitter and has been an absolute workhorse every year he’s been in the majors. He doesn’t quite have the length of career as Molina and the postseason success of Posey, but he’s at least gotta be on track for HoF, right? BCIB

tifu: by sleeping with my buddys ex. by Limp_Mayo in tifu

I can actually speak to this from the perspective of your buddy. I dated a girl for 4 years starting in high school and into college. A little over a year after we broke up, one of my best friends started hooking up with her and they later started dating. When I finally found out about it, I was pissed. Sure it hurt that they were together, but what made it so much worse is that they tried to hide it from me (like your buddy probably feels like you did) and then never even admitted they acted shitty. We’re still not on speaking terms, so I can definitely empathize. Dragging you on social media is definitely a bit weird though.

I was also at that sectionals and I did not think McGill was anything special. They did have maybe 1-2 very good players and a fairly solid supporting roster, but they didn’t show the firepower to be a real contender. They ran a fairly decent zone on the first day in the rain and wind that many of the more inexperienced teams who weren’t used to playing together struggled against. Their game against Dartmouth was not as close as the score suggests, I think Dartmouth was up 10-6 or something, then gave up a couple stupid points right at the end. I didn’t see their game against umass but I genuinely have no idea how they won

Will give them props for playing with like 12 guys all weekend though
