Thanks for the info on LECA, good to know and may be a good experiment for me! I have an N. ‘gaya’ that’s just putting out basals like no other and I don’t know what to do with all the babies.

But the leaves I can see on your ping (at least based on the first pic where I can see the leaves a bit better) look like summer leaves still. Winter leaves are more tightly compacted, smaller, and generally not sticky. The winter leaves will also slowly die back as they form new summer leaves, leaf turnover rate is just higher in CPs.

I will mention the one D. aliciae you showed that caught an ant did look like its crown was starting to grow new leaves and some of the newer ones had a bit of dew so I think it was bouncing back at least. Older sundew leaves also start to lose dew esp if its caught a lot of bugs and expended energy, to gain more energy/nutrients.

I’m not a great photographer but hopefully you can see in that pic how my D. adelae has some very dewy leaves and some quite dry ones (granted this plant is also newer and most of the dry leaves are from its previous environment).

Don’t know if the pictures were helpful at all but hopefully your CPs bounce back! They’re more resilient than people tend to think. Always happy to try and answer any more questions too!

I care for most of my carnivores (bladderworts, sundews, VFTs, mexican and temperate pings) in the same way which is just letting them sit in a tray of distilled, RO, or rain water. From my experience, they all like more light than you think and sundews in particular (your D. aliciae for example) actually stop producing dew when they don’t get enough light. I’m not sure what the intention of the leca is but I don’t generally use it unless for aroids that want more airflow for their roots.

As for the ping, if its an agnata mix, then while its in its growing phase, its also fine to keep it in a bit of water. I have mine in a ping mix though which is peat, sand, and turface (I just buy a mix from petflytrap.com). Again, low mineral water so distilled, RO, rainwater, I don’t use any ferts for my carnivores but I know foliar feeding is becoming more popular and root feeding seems to be ok for some sars but I haven’t taken that plunge myself.

Personally, I’d remove all the leca and just put them under some bright lights in a tray of clean low mineral water (if you have a total dissolved solids reader use it, water should have a TDS < 50). They may still suffer and old leaves may die but look out for any new growth and what that looks like. Carnivore leaves are not like other houseplants, they cycle through and die but the crown should be plump, healthy, and puttibg out new growth fairly consistently (unless its a temperate species that needs a hibernation but that’s a different story).

I think amino may be referring to the history of BMI, which is how most folks judge weight/mass, and has a long history of racist origins. There’s loads of research on it now and Aubrey Gordon’s book ”You Just Need to Lose Weight” and 19 Other Myths About Fat People summarizes some of the research very well. Here’s a recent ethics article that also sheds some light onto the subject:

I’m finishing up a PhD in psychology and it is definitely not black and white as you present. Psychology is first and foremost an extremely broad category of specialties (ranging from more biological aspects such as neuropsych to more behavioral and social aspects). Based on your post, I assume something more in the clinical/behavioral realm is where you’re looking.

Again, very grey, even in a diagnosis as supposedly well understood as depression, we still have almost no understanding of etiology nor exact treatment for an individual. Depressive disorders as a group has a lot of diagnoses and subtypes that we can classify (and schools of thinking that believe this is important, ones that thing it doesn’t matter, and ones trying to push a more dimensional approach to thinking about it, among many others). Even with a single diagnosis of major depressive disorder we can have recurrent, single episode, severity specifiers, symptom modifiers, etc. and among those more “specific” diagnoses, individal symptom presentation may be completely different with minimal overlap. Due to this variability, we also don’t have a one diagnosis, one treatment look at things. In total, psychological treatments have about a ~60% efficacy (when I say this, I’m thinking mostly CBT/ADM, DeRubeis et al., 2005). There’s a lot of research looking into personalization of treatment and its mostly come out with no significant solutions.

I realize I went off on a complete tangent but I absolutely love this field and can talk all day. Overall, I think marketing and psychology as very similar fields. At their cores, its about understanding human behavior, just differences in how to apply that understanding.

She’s my first copy with a spd boon too! All my others were -spd so i’m excited for her refine

Oof… i know the feeling, i took a long break from summoning after multiple failures during last summer’s banners as well. I’m taking this as the game trying to make up for those losses. Maybe you’ll get maximally lucky for CYL7
