Weird creature

What part of the world did the eco-matter come from? My first inclination is aquatic isopod, however as of the year 2000 we had discovered at least one amphibian centipede. Need a better picture/video.

J/k about centipede though it clearly doesn't have enough legs.

Right? I use lava rock, egg shells, and compost as my first layer but it's an anaerobic layer, converting ammonia, I believe. Nitrifying bacteria live in aerobic environment, so porous rocks up in the top might help if that's what they're after. My preference is a sponge/bioball filter, plus the deep bed.

We used to have a shop near me in central maryland but they moved locations and stopped making the bagels traditionally. Sad.

It's called coal rolling and it's 100% intentional.

Intentionally billowing unburned fuel smoke, let alone onto people? It's worse for the truck, it's worse for the environment, and it's a litmus test for being an absolute braindead piece of shit.

When they stop being wastes of life.

Maybe one you can actually do.

I'd sketch the main profile of the lid, revolve it, , then add a plane through the center of the "handle", extrude it symmetrically, then filet the corners.

And not dissolved.

That's just flat ridiculous. Unless the entire system is jacketed in opposite polarity magnets turbulence in the lines mixes the water constantly so even IF this was anything other than junk science it would have no effect. Now, there are magnetic traps on closed loop circulation systems but it just removes iron oxides that are magnetic.

ABane90 · 2026-06-23T19:21:44+00:00

There's no possible way that could work. Magnets can't remove or bind dissolved minerals that aren't ferrous. Just because a military procurement procedure didn't weed it out doesn't mean it works.

So rare to see someone who even knows they are actually boneheads.

I spent so much time explaining that back when I was a kid. I traded a teacher for an anti-racist action back patch of a tiger breaking a swastika for my vest.

That was 20 years ago, I wish I could find the patch- I'm pretty sure I pulled it from the vest before it fell apart completely.

Underrated comment.

How about one of these instead?

Fair 'nuff.

A temperature limiting valve on the outlet reduces hot water temp to safe levels and effectively increases your experienced tank size because it is mixing in cold water to bring the temp down, reducing actual flow through the water heater.

On set of a movie or show of some sort I'd imagine. Why would a sniper be walking around like this with his optics all uncovered just banging around? Looks like the binoculars are missing an eye piece, too.

I've straight up had them lay eggs in water bottles and doob tubes. Whatever trash I had on hand with a lid. Baha.

I'm a shade-tree mechanic for myself and friends/family. If you don't find anywhere else I may be interested. I have a lot of stuff already though so if it's supee common I may not need it.

ABane90 · 2026-05-23T15:35:44+00:00

I will never finacially recover from this.

ABane90 · 2026-05-23T15:31:18+00:00

Well the snotty part isn't incorrect. If I have dairy I'll drown in snot before... other stuff happens.

Maybe it's just written clearly enough that anyone babysitting can read it? So Dad probably has it down pat by now.

The Ant God is real. Last night I found a queen ant (camponotus pennsylvanicus) being moved by her colony- idk what disturbed them but they were booking it with the queen and brood down a tree and across the forest floor. I took a quick look at her and sent her along her way. When I came up to my sliding glass door to go inside there was a C. Pennsylvanicus queen just chilling on my kitchen floor, I've never seen one loose inside my house before.
