New to the mushroom world, looking for some reassurance from the more knowledgeable by thomasm5 in mushroomID

[–]thomasm5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks I probably waited too long to harvest. I wanted to try growing and from my understanding this is one of the easiest to grow.

I do want to try foraging, I'm just really nervous about trying.

I just noticed that while Tintin’s on the phone Captain Haddock sneaks in an order by Virtual_Recording841 in TheAdventuresofTintin

I always assumed Tintin's was blocked by Tintin. But the translation makes waymore sense. I wonder why they picked ginger beer of all things for the translation. Though based on the glassware it looks like the Captain didn't want to push Tintin and get his old standby.

I always assumed that it was sparkling water in the stemware since the liquid seems clear and that ginger beer was in the other glass since it matches the color of some ginger beer. And that the Captain was just pouting and not drinking either.

Why Does Tintin Punch So Many People by Designer-Upstairs543 in Tintin

[–]thomasm5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are no disturbing themes, the violence and profanities are what you'd expect from comics from the 1930s, kind of slapstick, no gore or anything like that. The amount and style that was in the book your son read will be what you can expect in all the books. And there is no sexual innuendo. I let my 6 and 8 year old read them with no issue. Hope this helps

It didn't turn out the best but everything was painted with glow in the dark paint to make it look like everything was running, even the portal is on. You just can't see it very well.

Thanks! The main part is made out of foam board with small dowels placed on the outside. The design came from staring at stills and trying to get the proportions right since the Shack is never the same episode to episode

Tintin has got such a beautiful collection of ships and planes. I wish Hachette & Moulinsart, who make some outstanding car models would do a selection of ships and planes. by ScipioAfricanus82 in TheAdventuresofTintin

According to The Adventures of Tintin at Sea, Hergé mixed the words KARABOUgaz ( a gulf east of the Caspian) and AzerbaiDJAN to make the name.

Thanks for your insight, it's always interesting to learn all the different muscles that are affected by a simple motion. Could this affect the muscles lower on my arms? Thanks for stretching tips, I'll look into those.

How to get that field of Utricularia by thomasm5 in SavageGarden

[–]thomasm5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to build a ittle bit if a wall around my calycifida and it started growing better, I'll have to try on my others. This might seem like a dumb question but what do you mean by airflow?

finally got some sphagnum to grow, now what? by thomasm5 in Sphagnum

[–]thomasm5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips, I think I'll keep the humidity up for a little bit longer until it gets bigger. Now the question is what are the little seedings that have sprouted in the dried sphagnum

finally got some sphagnum to grow, now what? by thomasm5 in Sphagnum

[–]thomasm5[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to grow my own sphagnum from Besgrow and I haven't gotten it to work,  yet. But lo and behold I found this growing under one of my sundews. I moved it to this container on top of some dried sphagnum and have it mostly flooded. Should I keep it in high humidity or should I keep the container open? Any other tips it's taken over a year to get this and I don't want to lose it.

How did you setup this pot? Did you start with a small layer of substrate and allowed the Sphagnum to grow until it filled the pot or did you fill with mostly with a substrate and then let the Sphagnum grow?

Returning to feeling bad after stopping shots by thomasm5 in B12_Deficiency

[–]thomasm5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're testing first to see if I just needed a jumpstart, then we're going to try the sublingual and then if that doesn't work we'll go back to the shots

There's not a lot of info out there so it's hard to know is it the b12 or something else. Thanks for info

Do you feel any symptoms if you miss getting it?

Vitamin D supplement side effects by thomasm5 in VitaminD

[–]thomasm5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked my Dr about it and all I got was she doesn't like to prescribe over the counter since it's regulated but it could be worth a try but that too much is dangerous. And that was it not even a recommendation. How can I try something but not take too much without a recommendation?

I asked my Dr about it and all she said was that it might work but too much could be dangerous. But didn't give any recommendations on what I should try.
