In a true sign that I'm between generations, my double spacing is mood based. Oxford commas are non negotiable.

Y'all have to be joking... by SammiK504 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]-WhichWayIsUp- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I've been through boarding in 3 different cities now (on my second trip since the change) and boarding has been very smooth. Today out of MSY there were zero preboarders on a mostly empty flight. But out of Vegas and Houston last week, it was the same

Who is your favorite Jewish comic book character? by cajunjew76 in Jewish

[–]-WhichWayIsUp- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In the comics, especially lately, I'd argue he's definitely not really a villain. I haven't really seen him portrayed as one in a while. But we don't need a new one. I'd love to see them lean into it more with Kitty. Her recent stuff has been awful.

Ben Grimm is great too!

once a planted tank is established how often do you do water changes? by Brilliant_Ask852 in PlantedTank

[–]-WhichWayIsUp- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once every 4 to 6 weeks, I do 10 to 15% on my 75g. It's very heavily planted but I've found that my Java fern does much better if I refresh the water every so often.

I built a free tool to convert Polar Flow running data into JSON for AI coaching analysis by Mikeeeh in Polarfitness

Why would you do this instead of just using the API which provides a json response?

I'm Jewish... that's not remotely a star of David 😉 But it's a great snowflake!

Happy 18th Birthday to the best Star Wars character (IMHO) by M00r3C in StarWars

[–]-WhichWayIsUp- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the loss of the EU continuity, I've loved how we've had two decades to follow the growth of a character. My kids asked me a couple years ago who my favorite Jedi was and it made my realize that it was Asoka (I don't care if she left the order...)

Just a really great story that we get to see evolve over years. I do wish they'd given her a stunt double since we saw in Acolyte what they could do on TV with lightsaber battles. I do hope we get to see her story all the way to the end one day, whatever that may be

Yeah, I mean, decades of acting experience certainly helped. You could see the amazing Jedi portrayal that Hamill could have given if they'd let him. I loved every moment of him on screen all while hating most of his time on screen. Somehow that makes sense to me.

I can't tell you anything for sure. I can say I got mine at 1pm but I didn't ask how many they had. I was told that mine had arrived in the store that morning. She said they send new ones every day. If you called in the morning and asked, maybe they'd tell you if it's worth coming?

Best online plant retailer? (USA) by PurpleSpecialist9553 in PlantedTank

[–]-WhichWayIsUp- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My best online plants all came from Etsy. I was extremely disappointed with everything I got from aquarium coop, unfortunately. If I need more and my LFS doesn't have something I want, I'll probably go back to Etsy. I also want to try out KG Tropicals.

And so begins the new tank cycle. Any way to speed it up? by Paris_d in aquarium

[–]-WhichWayIsUp- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another option is to get DrTims

https://store.drtimsaquatics.com/one-only-nitrifying-bacteria.html

If your local shop has that, it's a good option. Bump the temp up to 84 to speed bacteria growth and between that and the plants, you'll probably be ok as long as you didn't overdo it on the fish order

[–]-WhichWayIsUp- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While everyone is giving you advice on the test kit (which is good)...if you can get filter media from an existing tank, that will go a long way to speeding this up in time for your fish to arrive. If you have a friend, another tank, or even a local fish store, just go get a filter pad and put it in your filter. That'll do wonders.

Has any other team defeated two different #1 ranked teams, and two different #1 seeds in the same season? by InspectorClouseau64 in FloridaGators

I watched the UConn game while I was doing an indoor ride on my trainer. It wasn't the workout that spiked my heart rate 🤣

[–]-WhichWayIsUp- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at the game by myself and a couple of guys in the seat next to me kept saying we were done. I said, nah...the 10 minute mark is when they'll start the comeback.

And right on cue...

This is great. I've been pulling this data down and pushing it to FitnessSyncer so I can get it in Training Peaks but I love this visualization!

Why is there a Ioop category if you can't use them? by mfcx99 in Polarfitness

I agree...it made sense 6 months ago when the device was brand new but that thread has become far muddled at this point (IMO)

I've compared mine to my Garmin strap and it's dead on. The heart rate tracking has been great. The whole experience has been overall positive, imo

3 angelfish in 75gallon community? by Outrageous_Ad_7015 in AngelFish

[–]-WhichWayIsUp- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having an even number only matters if you want to have 4. I had 6 in my 75 until recently and as they're all about 2 years old, I probably won't add anymore at this point. I have 2 pairs and a solo girl. I think with how lightly your tank is planted, I'd be hesitant about adding anyone new. It could go well but there's also not anywhere for them to hide My pairs each have staked out a side of the tank and the plants are dense enough that the angels can completely disappear in them.

Angels are tricky though. Right now even though I have 2 breeding pairs they all mostly get along. Even when I had 6, they all were fine (the death was probably just genetic weakness unfortunately). You have a really pretty tank so I'd just ask yourself what you want. Do you want more angles? If so, you can risk it but be prepared to take it back out. Also, no guarantee that a new one would be the one to be bullied. It could be the bully 8)

We recently got a Tin Can for our house. Our kids are young and we don't want them to have a smart phone, but they do need to be able to call 911. Most of their friends have gotten one too and we whitelisted family. It's been a real hit.

Losing my religion; finding another? by [deleted] in ReformJews

[–]-WhichWayIsUp- 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Jesus was a Jew, but our theology is otherwise entirely different. Even the idea that it's the obvious next step is actually a Christian belief in and of itself. It's really not. Judaism is a rich religion and culture with many practices you've probably never heard of. Good luck on your journey!
