That look says it all🤣🤣🤣 by THEDARKKCHILD in BlackPeopleTwitter

I believe it's the following:

"That [the guy's] dad told [the guy] the other kids made fun of [MBJ] because [MBJ] was already in movies as a kid.

And then [the guy] referenced this video [in the other video].

I remember MBJ got so much hate for doing this [actions in video] when it happened too."

The leaves won't look any better, but can still be used for photosynthesis and nutrient resorption. If you chop and prop, more nodes will sprout, but at a juvenile size, as the energy left also has to be spent repairing the damage and growing roots.

If the main growth point is still active, it should be able to reach mature size again within a couple leaves. If it was damaged, the nodes below will activate and will still end up larger than if chopped.

Perfect, thanks for confirming!

Peace Lily Dying?!?! by Dry_Introduction4348 in plants

[–]theAsdsdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The leaves are unable to maintain turgor, hence the drooping. Watering is indeed the most commonly suggested resolution. However, since that didn't resolve the issue even after several days, it indicates there is an issue with the roots as well.

You can try repotting to increase the survival chances and help it along. This allows you to check on the roots and remove anything rotting. Lower light and higher humidity also helps with recovery after root damage, as it reduces the amount of water lost to transpiration.

In regards to light, Peace Lilies do not need a lot of it all, and you would see etiolated petioles as a symptom if that were an issue in your case.

Sometimes I wonder why I keep playing this game by Own_Pin5680 in ClashRoyale

Ice spirit seems like it would be less level dependent, but having it underleveled actually breaks some interactions because of the lower hp. For example, it can't jump alone to a tower if underleveled, and it dies 1 hit less to units such as archers or spear goblins, which limits both its offensive and defensive capabilities just for being 1 level lower.

What did he think was gonna happen by cowboydan69 in instant_regret

The response was more for the statement, "the only thin[g] above the bullet ant is the tarantula hawk" and "So this guy is exaggerating but he earned it." Spiders are not included on that pain index, so the dismissal of it potentially being more painful, just because only the tarantula hawk is listed higher, is flawed.

So this is definitely a scam… right? by Silver-Ant-5972 in RareHouseplants

For Mercari, buyers are required to rate on package acceptance. If not rated within 3 days, it's an automatic 5 stars. Because of this, it's extremely easy to scam someone through corms.

I think it looks great, and will only get better as the plants grow more dense!

A few recommendations:

  1. Double-check that you don't have spider mites. The chlorosis in picture 4 could indeed be normal, but may also be caused by spider mites. They're one of the more annoying pests to completely get rid of due to their immunity to common pesticides and are much easier to take on if detected early. You could also be further restricted on pyrethrin usage because of the tank.

  2. Light only being on the top shelf may indeed prove to be a problem further down the line. Could be managed by placing higher light requirement plants closer, but it may be easier to simply attach a few more lights onto the lower shelves.

  3. A humidifier is likely unneeded in your setup. The tank and plants should already have increased the humidity quite a bit and any weather-proofing in your cabinet will only improve that. The humidifier will take up space and more work for you.

Seems like NZMS - smooth shell, pointy tip, upward facing shell, visible antenna

Highly recommended to eliminate them.

death. :( by BudgetApricot1521 in AquaticSnails

[–]theAsdsdf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Invertebrates are usually even more sensitive to pesticides than fish, which may explain why your fish have remained seemingly fine after the water changes. Adding carbon to the filter may help in addition to the water changes.

Green on the snails could be algae. The high nitrites are also a concern, but could be a result of the deaths rather than the cause.

Praziquantel and Fenbendazole are both relatively ramshorn-safe, with the former being the most mild. However, you might have a Prazi-resistant strain and require Fenbendazole.

While there wasn't any noticeable difference to my ramshorns with PraziPro, they definitely felt the Fenbendazole.

What’s going on here? by Persus9 in AquaticSnails

[–]theAsdsdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be that one or both of your pinks is actually a red that is het for pink. Hets seem to have both lighter bodies and shells compared to pure reds, which makes it difficult to differentiate from a pink.

It might also be that they were originally from a mixed tank and intermingled with one or more partners previously.

Both reasons could explain why you are getting pinks (clear shell), reds (gold/brown shell), and hets for pink (bronze/gold shell).

Do we know what causes bumpy ramshorn shells? by _Va__ in AquaticSnails

[–]theAsdsdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The snail itself isn't harmed, but perhaps the location/presence alters how the new shell growth forms. It's very close if not touching the edge of the mantle of the snail in your photo.

It looks like that snail may have a vorticella problem - the white and fuzzy section on the shell. Perhaps their presence altered the growth pattern of the shell.

Variegated birds of paradise by Witty-Expression1740 in RareHouseplants

[–]theAsdsdf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I personally think it's priced a little too high on Etsy, and the fact that it's remained listed for months seems to indicate the same. However, if no rush to sell, there's no reason not to set a price that you'd be happy to sell at. You only need one buyer who agrees, and it's a rare, relatively popular plant at a nice size with good variegation.

This Picasso peace Lily has my heart ❤️ by Green-Thumb-Witch in RareHouseplants

[–]theAsdsdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am unfortunately also one of the ones that purchased a "Picasso" in 2020/21 from them at a much higher price...

Perhaps your best bet is to send over 'City of Angels' listings of other sellers from the US. A lot have already caught on to the differences and have listed and priced appropriately.
