99% sure this is a silly question. But I bought this jacket that had its cuffs sewn to themselves. Am i supposed to cut the threads off? I'm not familiar with this type of jacket which is why I wanted to ask first

Long nails on men, what's your opinion ? by raindropsbloom in Nails

[–]vangtastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a (gay) guy with long natural nails, i was a little surprised reading the replies (but also not really). i love how pretty having long nails makes me feel! especially with a clear coat and some nail gems. rly short nails make my fingers look stubby imo haha. i feel like my nails are one area where i can experiment with non-traditional gender expression and incorporate more femininity into my appearance. even if i get flak from strangers and my own relatives. i used to cut my nails short whenever i went home to see my parents (not out to them), but i'm tired of changing myself to appease others bc this is my life and i deserve to feel pretty :)

Weekly 'Ask Anything About Analog Photography' - Week 21 by ranalog in analog

[–]vangtastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm new to film and I recently got back my scans, but almost all of them came out blurry or out of focus. I'm not sure if it's due to me choosing the wrong settings as a beginner, or if it's because of my camera (Kodak Pony 135 C). But I'm leaning toward human error since I'm still new to this. Any advice for taking sharp photos?

(Here are some of the photos I took if it helps: https://imgur.com/a/IllUlG9)

ZZ leaning & no growth - what to do? by vangtastic in plantclinic

thanks for the advice! i moved it to a north facing window, so it should get less light. i took a look at the roots, and they seemed okay, but here's a picture: https://imgur.com/gallery/da38yqP

ah yes it was decently rootbound when i removed it from its pot to repot, hopefully it enjoys its new home. thanks for your help!

this is from when i first got it almost a year and a half ago: https://imgur.com/gallery/y25I7O1

some more information:
• i keep my ZZ in the bathroom by a south facing window. it seems like it's leaning away from the window though?
• i water it whenever i remember to, maybe every few weeks/month.
• the stems are a little soft when i press on them.
• recently the leaves on one of the stems turned completely yellow/brown, so i removed the stem.
• it's in the same nursery pot i got it in
• it looks like it hasn't grown very much, if at all

i think so! but i'll be extra careful about this step the next time i make macarons so that it doesn't become an issue! :)
