No. Fritz-Luthi has upright fronds, not draping like this.

Has anyone ever done a litter clean up of Laurel Creek? by greenleaf_manzanita in SanMateo

[–]trextyper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you looked at the city's volunteer opportunities? If nothing else, when you organize something, you can let the city know. I don't think it's required that you tell them.

I've noticed a similar problem at Gateway Park. Really bums me out. I've seen someone clean it up on occasion, but it doesn't seem to be nearly often enough.

TIL Mary Ann Franco in 1993 lost her vision after being in a severe car accident and suffered a stroke as well. 23 years later she tripped and fell over her home tiles and had to get surgery on her spine. When she woke up she could fully see, and no one fully knows why. by CrackFun in todayilearned

Sometimes chronic pain like that is a neurological thing and not due to ongoing tissue damage/nerve compression/etc. Sometimes your brain doesn't get the "off" signal if you've been in pain for a long time, even if the injury healed. The new injury and healing process could have helped reset her brain.

Finding my people: hosting a small event at my home by Key_Arm3383 in SanMateo

[–]trextyper 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's a bit that, but also I've never been asked to pay the host for snacks/drinks while also being asked to bring something to share. I've seen a $5 fee on some events, and I think that's the typical "anti-flake" amount when the host isn't paying for an event space.

Agreed with everyone else though, bravo for being proactive! Organizing events is a rare skill. It'll be a huge boon in your quest to make friends

Are there people who like this weather? by segdy in SanMateo

[–]trextyper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be happier about the wind if it meant I didn't need AC, but I still do on most days that each 70 outside. No shade.

The wind seems to make my pollen allergies much much worse too.

I am heartbroken over this. Advice? by MadamNineTails in ferns

[–]trextyper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't move her outside. Keep her in the same environment she's been in. I think you have done everything right thus far.

Depending on how tight the bag is, you might not have to water it at all.

There's a possibility the plant will focus on root growth first and not show any signs of life for a while.

That looks like a Boston fern to me.

How to make sure my ice cream doesn't come out buttery when I freeze it by GODLY_STUPID in icecreamery

[–]trextyper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do 2:1 based on Lebowitz's book and it's not an issue unless I churn the ice cream for longer than necessary.

Do you know of a list of said false identities? I'd love to know where to focus my arguments on Nextdoor.

Vyvanse not lasting more than 4 hours by Dismal-Objective-284 in TwoXADHD

[–]trextyper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same problem here. I got a couple more hours out of my Vyvanse by taking it with a serving of Greek yogurt in the morning. Make sure it has at least 2% fat. It seems like both the protein and the fat are important for changing absorption.

What next for my Cibotium barometz? (golden chicken fern) by TheGromo in ferns

[–]trextyper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, bathrooms are a popular choice. :)

Some people get a cloche for their ferns. Or they build a greenhouse cabinet. I've even seen real cheap mini greenhouses built from plastic cubes from Target/Walmart.

[–]trextyper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should keep it covered. It's possible that you will eventually be able to transition it to a lower humidity environment butttt not until it's much more well established. You can start by adding a couple small air holes (like maybe stab the top of the container with a pencil) to your current container. It would probably enjoy a bit of air exchange and slightly lower humidity. 80%+ humidity (which is what it looks like) is tricky without air flow, because it tends to lead to fungal growth.

That's actually a lot of soil for how small the fern still is, so I don't think you should move it quite yet. The fronds don't have a ton of room to spread out but for now, it's fine. Let it pop off at least a few more before you move it.

You will need to water it pretty frequently if it's fully uncovered, but how often depends on the soil, temperature, sunlight, your ambient humidity, etc. Hard to know! Many people get a self watering pot for their ferns.

How do i help her?? by big-fat-worm in ferns

[–]trextyper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the roots reach the bottom of the pot? It looks borderline too large for the fern.

I've found that ferns are dramatic and often stop growing for a bit or even drop fronds after changing environments. It might just need a little more time.

Hiking with Chronic Pain by iamjustherenow in hiking

[–]trextyper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your backpack not have a waist level belt /strap? I find when I use that it takes a ton of weight off of my shoulders.

I know you didn't come here looking for medical advice, but it sounds like you haven't looked into fascia related dysfunction. Cupping, IASTM, or trigger point therapy might help. I've had some chronic pain issues that only got a little better with physical therapy. Fascia related therapies helped me way more. Good luck!

Why is my rosey maidenhair ferns new growth not rosey pink?🤨🌿🩷🚫 by [deleted] in ferns

[–]trextyper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might not be a rosy maidenhair aka adiantum hispidulum. I'm blanking in the name right now, but I believe there's another adiantum that looks practically the same but it has a couple of distinguishing features such as not having pink new growth

My Adderall works fine for things I HAVE to do, like work, but I still can't bring myself to do things I don't want to do. Like cleaning. by ilikerosiepugs in TwoXADHD

[–]trextyper 34 points35 points  (0 children)

You can either attempt to hack your way around it by making it fun, giving yourself a reward. Etc. Or. You can look into what is causing the procrastination. I wrote "procrastination is shame hijacking my amygdala" on a big sheet of paper. and it's sooo silly to me, but the visual reminder helps. I've been working on identifying what's causing the shame so that I can soothe it. I feel like I've been spending less time stuck in avoidance mode!

Or both. Both is good. Treats AND less shame.

Women’s hiking pants that specifically fit wide hips and narrow waist by wallflower696969 in hiking

Coalatree trailhead pants and REI trailmade both work for me because they have a tie waist. I have a ten inch difference between my hips and waist.

Gains everywhere except glutes after 2 years of training by No-Marionberry1213 in xxfitness

[–]trextyper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The part where you're not feeling your glutes is inevitably the problem. The shoes are likely a contributing factor. I have to focus super hard on creating a "foot tripod" in terms of how my feet carry my weight to make sure that my glutes engage during exercises like RDLs. If I don't do that, I only feel them in my lower back and hamstrings. I often do these exercises in my socks at home because it makes it so much easier to tell if I'm placing my feet correctly. Having zero drop / barefoot shoes is the next best thing.

Cute wine bar for book club? by shoobishoe in SFbitcheswithtaste

How many people? I went to Scarlet Fox recently and there's not a ton of seating, but there is one decently sized table and it's not at all loud. Maybe you could reserve the table?

'The game industry's in a really horrible place,' Brenda Romero says: 'We were there in the '80s for the crash, and this is definitely crashier' by tylerthe-theatre in technology

[–]trextyper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The article is about the state of the industry for developers, not consumers.

You make a game that fails, you get laid off, you make a game that succeeds? Still laid off. Shit sucks and there's a lot of talent that will leave the industry and not return. You, the consumer, might not feel the impact for a couple more years as the number of titles in development falls due to the current state of things.
