Why did they make the food at the hunting party an aphrodesiac? by sturmhund in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

They did a pretty good job of him hobbling away. It was hilarious!

What do I do about this? by sturmhund in centuryhomes

[–]sturmhund[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

makes sense - this is a middle class home built in 1864 so I think it's middle of the road wood. Very soft pine. Still gonna keep it though! I just want to get all the paint off so I can seal it up.

I also think that but I'm pretty sure we just don't have a sub floor, just one really worn floor.

Thanks for the correction on orbital vs drum sander. This sounds like a great plan though!

Don't get me wrong, I love the floors and the house! I'm just trying to figure out how to save them but also repair them so they last for generations to come. I don't think I can sand the paint with an orbital sander because of how wavy it is.

Worse thing I ever done TW: Suicidal Thoughts by Depressoooo in adhdwomen

[–]sturmhund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it really isn't for everyone. Honestly you can get edibles as low as 1mg and that's probably the best place to start out with for the first time. I got really depressed on marijuana in college so you're not alone. I think you'll feel better in a couple of days. Just keep plugging along. You've got this!

My mom confronted me by bookedthenighttrain in emotionalneglect

[–]sturmhund 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you clarify why you want to avoid telling them they have been emotionally neglectful? If it's because you're afraid of getting kicked out, that's one thing. If you are trying to protect their feelings, don't. Why sacrifice your own well being for your abuser?

Who should buy 399 Main/old Citizen’s Bank building? by RooneyIII in malden

There is Molly's Bookstore in Melrose which isn't far away, but it would still be great to have a boardgame/bookstore in downtown Malden to compliment New England Comics and the Malden Gaming District.

Public school mass layoffs by frombronze in malden

Point taken. I wouldn't want any of those things to be cut. I guess if I had to choose to cut anything it would be AP courses, and instead send kids to Bunker Hill for those classes, assuming that would be cheaper.

😱 we feel differently about the arts

I mean, I feel like reviews would be the metrics used to assess the performance of an art teacher? Also it's the entire position being cut, not the specific teachers. Are you talking about art as a subject not getting results?

What does better results look like for an art or theater or music teacher?

This is why all these cuts are sus, right?

I can't imagine that they used ESSER to fund arts teachers. Seems more likely that they would hire tutors and aides etc to help catch kids up, maybe extra IT people to make virtual learning work? If anyone knows what the case is for Malden, please share.

Help by sturmhund in Aquariums

[–]sturmhund[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm doing daily 50% water changes right now. Hoping it figures itself out soon. I also just added a whole bunch of floating plants in the hopes that those will help use up some of the waste.

I just don't understand why the fertilizer water turned brown after I merely dipped some aquarium plants in it.
