Is this normal for an euphorbia obesa or did my reptile lamp destroyed it?

Can it just be growing? Like under the fuzziness it's green. If you look at pictures (patterns of the leaves, etc,) of the full grown versions, it looks like there is typically a shape (inverted triangle) between each upright triangle shaped spiny leaf. Basically shown in yours under the...

Anyone ever get stuck in an elevator

LOL. Sounds like where I work. And to top it off, there are only a handful of elevator techs on schedule at anytime. God forbid you get stuck after hours or on a weekend. might as well get comfortable. Where I'm at code requires a wired emergency telephone line in all elevators that goes to...

Need a new desk chair....something comfortable

What's your budget? I like the Steelcase Leap Chair and the Herman Miller Embody Chair.... but expect to shell out a big chunk of change. They should last you a LONG time.

Refrigerator - quality brands?

Well, I CAN NOT recommend Sumsung! Bought a $2500 french door fridge with lower freezer. Worked great for about 2.5 years before it started having problems. The little coil and drain is located in the back wall of the fridge. They cheaped out on the housing. It has rusted through and the...

Should I go or should I stay?

Honestly I don't think 45-60 minute commute is all that bad. But I'm stuck in the bay area california, and the traffic around here is ridiculous. I would analyze the situation by identifying what you would be doing with more time on your hands.... Would more time and less income allow you...

Gigabyte H170 Gamer 3 and NVMe issues

Pretty much confirmed this with the Gigabyte H170. Though, in legacy mode the Samsung 950 pro is still detected, even while in the m.2 slot, and it still runs at spec'd speeds, so seems to be the work around. But regardless of settings, I could not get the BIOS to detect the M.2 drive under...

Gigabyte H170 Gamer 3 and NVMe issues

So messed around. I had to turn on cms (compatibility mode) but then turn all legacy options on as legacy only. This allowed my boos to detect my old drives. I think Samsung makes the 950 backward compatible with legacy rom so it was detected too. Where the m.2 should be detected...

What is stronger than Claritin?

Every single allergy pill I have ever tried has always done a number on me.. Made me seriously tired even when claiming to be non-drowsy. I now use nasacort and very happy with the results of my allergy symptoms decreasing while not feeling the lethargy of the pills. I can't comment on...

This is what's wrong with healthcare.

When my daughter was about 10 months old, she caught a cold. At first we thought it was a normal cold, and we took her to the doctor and were just told to watch her to make sure she keeps eating and doesn't get too lethargic. Took her back after 1.5 days because we felt she wasn't improving...

How important is it to peel potatoes?

I have heard that there are lots of pesticides used in potato farming and the skin absorbs a lot of that. Then again, the skin is supposedly the most nutrient rich part of the potato... I generally clean them thoroughly in a bowl of water then rinse. I eat the skins regularly depending on the...
