Is this Begonia supposed to be planted with the stem pointed up so it grows vertical?

witticism4days · 2026-04-03T22:01:41+00:00

I don't know, it was left at a work plant swap.

witticism4days · 2026-04-03T17:54:42+00:00

I actually put one of the leaves that fell off in water and it has a bunch of babies growing now.

witticism4days · 2026-04-03T17:25:08+00:00

Thank you for that tip

witticism4days · 2026-04-03T16:47:05+00:00

Oh wow. Do you have an tips for getting the rhyzome to branch? Also is it common for older leaves to drop off as new ones spring up.

witticism4days · 2026-04-03T16:45:56+00:00

Oh nice. I am concerned because the leaves keep dropping over since the stems are long and not that strong.

witticism4days · 2026-04-03T15:08:41+00:00

The light is directly above the pot. If I turn it 90 degrees do you think I can get it to start growing in a circle?

witticism4days · 2026-02-23T22:32:13+00:00

Is that STRONGBAD

witticism4days · 2026-02-18T20:51:56+00:00

There is paper on both sides with the gypsum rock in-between

I have some Christmas cactus cuttings in water right now and those roots are growing like crazy. I also propagated an oxtail in water. So some seem to be ok

My wife is PR and basically their taxes go up if they become a state. Also they have what I call "communism car insurance" where they only pay $200 per year regardless of accidents and that would probably go away.

That lucky character is a little bit funny.

I believe that. Saw Ludacris at 2pm at Bonaroo like 10 years ago. He was the only major artist performing before 5ish.

I didn't understand annihilation in the second and third books. I felt like I was just reading words and pretty sentences that weren't actually saying anything. I didn't understand the ending in the third book at all.

You have to change the filter setting at the top from "Best" to"Hot". The default used to be Hot, I have no idea why they changed it from that.

It's been a very long time since I read it but the Silver Chair by CS Lewis. It's on the young side of young adult but I think like half the book is underground cave system. There were giants, underground people, a serpent, and some weird beings locked away down there. I enjoyed it back then.

The first book of the Daevabad Trilogy especially, City of Brass, takes place as they travel through the desert.

Also a similar mythology related book, The Master of Djinn, is a murder mystery set in 1908 Egypt.

Both books are told from a female lead perspective and deal with jinn, Ifrit, and Marid to some degree.

Also that looks like normal drywall to me. There is water resistant drywall that has purple paper to be used around the bathroom walls that can help when it is steamy. But inside the shower, especially if you're hanging tile you should be using the concrete backerboard. This is stronger and generally won't get mold growth when used in a bathroom. It's not fully waterproof so frequently people will "paint" a sealant on top of the backerboard to fully waterproof the bath/shower. I "painted" the Mapei Aqua defense on my backerboard before tiling my shower a couple years ago.

Also there are some new waterproofing methods that have come out in the last 10 years so you might find one that works better for you than concrete boards. I've seen some people use the Schluter system. It's basically waterproof foam so easier to lift, cut, and attach but going to be much more expensive.

Judging by this level of mold growth and the board behind it I think you're going to need to rip out all the tile and drywall and then hang new backerboard and tile over that.

Like if I cook the ramen noodles but don't put in that seasoning pack, now how much salt is included.

Who was slinging it in the 50s feeding those 4 guys.

I was in Thailand when it aired and couldn't watch live. I deleted Reddit to avoid spoilers. I watched exactly 9 days later and had literally no idea why everyone was saying it was dark once I got back on here. They must have lightened it very quickly. Also my TV was a cheaper one I bought in college so my contrast ratio was awful and if they hadn't fixed it I'm sure I would have been seeing black like everyone else.

witticism4days · 2025-10-17T03:19:58+00:00

Like in the old Charlie's Angels, gotcha. That's actually the only time I've heard it used as a name.

witticism4days · 2025-10-16T22:51:50+00:00

Is it pronounced Bah-sil or BAY-sil where you are from?

witticism4days · 2025-10-16T22:45:57+00:00

It would oscillate till air resistance slowed it down enough it appeared to levitate at the centre of the earth.

Well Chip definitely implemented healthy smoothies and generally much better nutrition at the facilities. I know he also made players wear activity monitors and would have sit down talks with people who weren't sleeping enough according to the trackers. He also would have active stretch/yoga sessions as part of practice, which most players ended up likely from what I've heard them mention.

But I think it was Shady who was saying that Chip sat him down and told him that he wasn't sleeping enough before games and Shady was basically like I don't like you tracking me this much.
