smh my head 😤
~~She's surprisingly good at climbing tho~~
(actually just a Python Regius if you can't tell lol)
..when you have to eat Russian food?
Interesting! Is there a color for medicine that is absolutely necessary? I know that when I was seriously messed up and needed Antibiotics those were put on a pink slip, idk how optional those were :o
I've also seen the green papers, which are for completely self-paid stuff (so like, weird unproven teas and supplements)
That sounds nice and simple! I don't 100% understand the German system either, I just know that it costs about 15% of my income each month (half is paid by my employer), and if my doctor writes a prescription on a pink sheet of paper, the meds don't cost me more than like 5-10€ (apparently it's some sort of co-pay thing).
We also have a system for private health insurance, because people employed by the government aren't allowed to benefit from the government-subsidized health insurances. But I'm not earning enough to know specifics about it haha
It's also pretty shocking to find out what y'all have to deal with. German healthcare can be mildly annoying at times (the bureaucracy of finding the right form to fill out to get something like psychotherapy approved can be tedious), but I've never heard of anyone here getting their request dismissed without a good, legally predefined, reason. Apparently American Healthcare companies can just say no just because they feel like it?? whack.
Yup, thanks for the tip! I'll have to look up whether neem oil and pyrethrum are safe for reptiles, because my snake does roam the plant shelves sometimes 🥹
Most of my plants already are in Leca, I'll make sure to flush them all properly in case any bugs have made it to them.
Yup, I was planning on getting that plant into Leca anyways, might as well do it now haha
oh, I think you're right! The reference pictures I looked at only showed green Aphids, but I guess they come in brown as well :o Thanks for the tip!
I mean, they'd get like one or two afternoons of googling around and watching youtube videos about the aliens biology, but I think I'd lose interest pretty fast
finally a place for us people who are too dumb for Unix 😔🥳
Pro tip: whenever a relative asks you to fix their computer, wipe everything and set up Linux for them. That'll teach em.
I've recently been listening to this Audiobook about Internal Family System therapy. And I think it's saying that most of these people are probably already living in your head 👍
Revy was in there actively exploring for like two hours. The idea was that she'd go back into her humidity box once she's had enough/wanted to hide in a familiar place, but that never happened. So I picked her up and put her on her "you can go back home" perch in front of her enclosure. She refused and started exploring in the opposite direction lol
So she got to go back to the Play Tent and after cruising around for a few more rounds, she finally settled into a paper towel tube. I would have left her to hang out for as long as she wanted, but had other obligations to attend to and didn't want to leave her unsupervised. So she had to go back cannelloni style 🥲
She's been in blue for 2-3 days, so it shouldn't be too long now! The image is from her day 1 of being in blue, she was cruising around like crazy to scout out a cozy spot. She's settled (and immediately pooped) in her warm hide, and stayed in there since.
I was actually a bit worried about an RI before the blue, because she started whistling!! But apparently that's more or less normal for Black Pastels because their noses are weird :')
The electric heating pad I sleep on. I wouldn't be surprised if some study finds that something about sleeping on wires would be kinda bad long-term. Maybe something about residual currents or the minimal magnetic field from the wires, idk
