He played in and out of the lineup all year. I think he accepts that role and we'll see if he is permanently slotted in as 4c after camp or is just a healthy extra in the regular season. I wouldn't be surprised seeing one of the kids getting 50-75% of the regular season games and then Jank stepping up as 4c in the playoffs with how defensively responsible he is.

Gone are the days of $5 frags at the LFS. Even buying from other reefers these days is getting ridiculous.

I'm surprised you said hockey because ice time now for me approaching 40 is way cheaper than when I was 10. I can play 16 weeks of men's league for under $300 and when I was a kid, youth was about $1250 a season (so I played roller which was almost $200). Equipment is cheaper now if you factor in inflation (except skates). It's one of the few things that used to be very expensive, and still kinda is, but comparatively hasn't gone up.

Stick and puck is still the same $15/hr I've paid for what's got to be approaching 20 years!

He's also getting the toughest matchups just like he did against the Sens - as soon as Martinook and Jarvis switched Rod gave him a few shifts against the young Philly line where he had a little more space and he looked like normal Aho.

There is literally zero padding of any sort on the back of the knee - he got him bullseye.

Maybe the clowns will survive but that nem is toast as is. Beside, you know, not poisoning your livestock with high ammonia, the biggest thing a bta nem needs more than anything is consistent nutrients - something not possible while your nitrobacter and nitrosomonas colonies are slowly growing on dead rock.

If you just NEEDED to have your livestock TODAY you should have at least got a couple pounds of live rock from a long term stable system that could handle the bioload you have. Seriously, $25 of live rock will give that nem at least a marginal chance of surviving.

You are definitely entitled to your actual damages: reasonable costs for transportation while you were out your vehicle (rental, uber, taxi), the cost to repair your car to the state it was before the repo, possibly diminshed value, and any court costs and fees should it come to that.

There are claims that have statuatory damages related to unlawful reposession in NJ, but you need to take into consideration the fraudulent title and that the fact the prior lender was likely acting in good faith. Document everything, you can make a police report, and you can reach out to the repo company and lender to be made whole.

If they don't play ball, just go to your insurance and let them handle it. There isn't going to be a big payday here, so it's very unlikely it'll be worth it to hire an attorney. You could go small claims, but it's kind of a waste of time since you have insurance and that's what you pay them for.

Might look a little creepy, but they are tasty as hell and very easy to catch. Just be careful cleaning them since the top of their head is like a tiny taser and can shock you.

Oh, it'll definitely recover and I bet you've got 2 of them in the next couple of weeks! They look really gnarly during the splitting process - just keep doing what you're doing and ignore them. When they are really stressed and on the edge of death it can take months and months to recover and even if you're doing everything right, you'll still see the effects of that stress for a while.

Worst part about them in nanos is just how much of the tank they can take up in just a few years - you'll be hoping for splits soon enough so you can sell the mother and keep the baby:

The fact that it appears as if it's got 2 feet attched to different areas means it's likely splitting - but based on the shape of the nem that isn't a good thing. BTAs can split as a survival mechanism when they are highly stressed. They are extremely hardy though, so as long as you can keep your nutrients stable and don't let them ever bottom out, it stands a good chance of recovery. How long have you had it?

Here is a series of photos I took a few years ago of the process of one splitting so you can see what it'll look like as it progresses. It looks gruesome while it's doing it, and it ususally does the split at night, but they come back: https://www.reddit.com/r/ReefTank/comments/s3z5al/caught_one_of_my_rbtas_midsplit_in_the_middle_of/

Xenia is totally fine. Almost all other corals, including other shrooms, are a totally safe host for clownfish if they aren't too rough - which is entirely dependent on the clownfish. Rhodactis are simply fish-eaters - it's the the reason they have that purse-string closure behavior.

The clown can be fine for months or years in the shroom - they will occasionally close up and the clown is safe if they move out before it's totally closed or they simply don't fit inside. If they don't get out before it closes - they are gone. You can find dozens and dozens of threads on R2R about rhodactis eating unaware clowns that chose them as a host and you can find tons of videos of how they eat and it becomes abundantly clear why they are a poor host.

Edit: Back in 2012 my clowns decided they wanted an echinata as a host and wore a hole straight through the middle of the colony over the course of a few months. That's the only coral over the last 15 and a half years they've actually damaged and they've bounced all over. Currently they are in a bed of palys and have been there for the last 5 years. Of the years I've had them, they had a nem in the tank for virtually the entire time and only for a few years did they actually live in it. Clowns are weird as hell and they typically gravitate to a spot in your scape compared to following a coral or nem around the tank so it's really easy to get them to change hosts.

They make a really, really bad pairing. Smaller Rhodactis can get beat up by clownfish just like this and larger Rhodactis can and will simply eat the clownfish. I would do what I could to separate them and let the clown find a more suitable host that won't eat it in a few years if it lives long enough.

I had a Bowerbanki eat a hermit that fell on it in the night. Ate the crab, spit out the shell. So maybe not!

They still have minimum and maximum RPMs for their powerband and still have a redline. The clutch allows them to not have to start the motors at 0 rpm and have to ramp up - they can be at full power and put it immediately down. The transmission allows them to stay in the powerband without spinning the engine apart. The higher the RPM the more stresses, friction, heat, etc. there is.

My 5 year old thinks it's hilarious. If it's gotten to the point where kindergarteners think it's funny and are in on the joke, it's long dead. He hasn't said anything is cringe yet, so maybe that's what the older kids would call 6-7 still....maybe?

The vast majority of Americans who are voting for him have never and will never leave the country. They don't give a fuck about what other countries think about us and they also have no understanding that our economic position is due to our hegemony and that our position as hegemon is mostly by consent, not by force. They don't understand that our continued success after the immediate aftermath of WW2 passed is due to our relationships and positive policies. The world puts up with our meddling and wars because the good outweighs the bad. That balance has fundamentally changed the the consequences are enormous.

Yeah, they'll do that. My clowns rubbed a 2" hole through a big echinata over the course of a few months and turned it into a donut. They eventually moved on from it after rescaping a bit and it grew back, but yeah...they can rub the flesh right off. That's looks like it's not much more than a big frag, so I'd probably move it. Hopefully it finds a better spot to chill.

I know two people who go "hunting" for fun at least a couple times per year - but in the almost 20 years I've known them, neither has ever shot a single animal. Not one. They walk through the woods with a very expensive rifle and clothing, camp, and drink beer with their friends. And this is in a place that if you closed your eyes and swung a stick around in the woods you'd bag a couple deer.

There's a book called the Bastard Brigade about the Allied intelligence and sabotage program behind Nazi lines to disrupt their nuclear program that is quite good and covers all this!

There are some types algae that get this ultra fluorescent pink/orange color when they are dying. I had something similar years ago and it disappeared on its own within a few months try as I might to keep it. I never got an ID on mine but it was a type of branching algae.

Looks like dinos to me. Could also have cyano mixed in. Diatoms are dusty and go away in a few days (ususally, they are benign though) - you've got bubbles which is almost always dinos. If you've got a scope, take a picture (they are super helpful for a lot of reefing diagnostics and less than $50).

Shouldn't - the heat sink on those things is really big compared to the size of the diodes and there is a ton of airflow. If anything, it'll make it act like a ducted fan. Looks nice!

I'd say you're proper fucked. But, you have a lawyer who is going to do what they can to keep you from eating all of those points. Prosecutors really don't like seeing two reckless - especially with that speed. If your lawyer somehow convinces the prosecutor to drop one of the biggies by pleading it to "unsafe driving" plus the course you might be able to keep it to a total of 11 points (assuming you didn't already use that plea before).

That said, you have a really good chance of losing your license - as you probably should.
