I’ve always been really skeptical of supplements. But I recently discovered I have an actual deficiency of B12, Folic Acid, and D. My Iron and Ferritin are both completely fine. It seemed plausible that my RLS was also caused by a deficiency and with Iron and Ferritin ruled out Magnesium seemed like a good guess.

The supplement that was working also had ashwagandha and tart cherry. Has anyone had success with either of those? Or do I have to go back to the influencer gummies?

Not sarcasm, it’s a genuine question.

I’ve been with blue apron for around 10 years. It’s gotten awful so I’ve been looking for alternatives, and all I’m seeing are more bad options.

It’s been so long that I’ve forgotten how to grocery shop, and meal plan.

The amount we normally budget for (even with a balanced budget) isn’t going as far as it did even a few months ago. I’m struggling to explain this to people above me, because they think we must have changed something.

My best guess is that their new priority features or just the bad job market are pushing prices up, but I have no way to get actual data to back that up.

Complaining about bad parents and their annoying kids who don’t have boundaries or manners has always been part of this sub, I’m not talking about that. Defining groups of people and saying they shouldn’t have kids is the kind of thing that turns a support sub into a hate sub.

r/antinatalism exists.

There isn’t a tag for venting.

I’ve had RLS for as long as I can remember, but I can usually get past it and fall asleep so it doesn’t impact my life too much.

I recently started seeing a new doctor because my acid reflux had gotten to a point where I was constantly coughing. I didn’t think to mention RLS because it was never a huge issue. I started omeprazole a few weeks ago, and my cough is pretty much healed, but I haven’t slept more than a few hours a night all week. It’s been bad enough that it’s waking me up.

I also found out I have a B12 and folic acid deficiency. I was optimistic being on supplements for those might help the RLS, but I didn’t realize omeprazole could make it worse.

It feels like I can’t win.

I’m pretty new to shrimp and mine are healthy, but I do not understand the logistics of doing a salt dip. How do I catch one individual sick guy? Do you literally just dip them? What concentration? What kind of salt?

Every time some says just “salt dip!” no context I imagine plucking one out of the tank with my fingers and just dipping them in a cup of brine. That cannot be right.

I realize this is going to be a near impossible question to answer, but I’ll take any suggestions.

I used to successfully have corys in a 38gal with khuli loaches, ember tetras, and emperor tetras. There also was a a betta for some amount of that time. I moved in 2021 and gave away all my fish.

I set up the exact same tank in my new house a few years later. It originally had the same substrate (sections of rounded pebbles and sand), but I’ve since changed it to soil with a powdery sand cap. (I got the powdery sand just for corys, I thought they would love it).

Ive tried corys several times and they keep, slowly, dying over the course of a few months. I’ve had blue tetras the entire time, and kerri tetras and dwarf flag acaras, they’ve all been completely fine. My tank is fully cycled, I check the parameters when anything dies and it’s never been that. I thought maybe it was the supplier, so I switched to the other LFS near me.

None of them have looked visibly thin or anything when they’ve died or had been acting especially weird. My only guess is that the blue tetras are such jerks they’ve bullied them to death, or there is some element in my water that corys are especially sensitive too.

I’ve tried peppered and three lined.

If I could get a look at an angle to even take a picture I wouldn’t have to ask, but it’s like they see me coming and hide their undersides.

I think Space X is still operating at a loss. In 2025 Tesla made a modest profit for a car company. What else does he do? At least I can see where Bezos’ money comes from.

His wealth isn’t real money, it’s all based on the inflated valuation of the companies that he owns.

It’s the clearest case possible of a capitalist being rich because other capitalists know that value comes from owning the means of production. Nothing worth trillions is even being produced. It’s a valuation on power over the worker, period.

Should we just send Robert to visit Canada for a while? I think US citizens can live there for 6 months without a visa.

Miracle Grow obviously deserves the blame for all the literal garbage not being sorted out of its products, but it’s happening because people are being careless with what they put out in yard waste bags. It might even be a sign of increased litter in residential areas.

Edit: A couple people pointed out it says it on the bag. I didn’t realize that, it makes people getting conspiratorial about it even more ridiculous.

Why can’t we just have nice things? We’re going to try to ignore it as a one off issue, but this is definitely going to make my life more difficult sooner or later.
