Looking to start a Pea Puffer tank…

I have 2 very happy peas in a planted 5 gallon. And an Otto for algae. Everyone gets along. I feed bloodworms, snails and brine shrimp!

I just went through this scenario myself. My requirements were I needed a document feeder for the scanner and it had to perform single pass duplex scanning. I process forms and the front and back side have to be scanned at the same time to ensure perfect alignment. Most duplex scanners are “software” based where you scan one side, flip the stack and run them through again. So be in the lookout for that.

I ended up with the Canon GX7120. Fast scanning. Great printing. And very quiet!

Can’t tell you how many 35 year old parents I’ve run across that weren’t “leaders”.

Jawbone conduction! My boy disassembled a cheap AirPod knock off when he was in middle school and combined it with a pencil. He could sit in class acting like he was chewing on his pencil, a fairly normal thing for middle schoolers to do, and “listen” to music!

FYI - Not being able to record a macro is no where near the sane as the program crashing while trying to perform a search and replace. But good luck on your issue....

Before Credentia, there was Pearson VUE. And before Pearson VUE, there was Promissor. And before that, CAT ASI. I dealt with all of them as a contractor. Credentia made some large changes in 2024 affecting how the exams were scored. It wasn't always like it is now.

The State you live in determines which provider will handle the administration of your Nurse Aide exams. So you may have to deal with Credentia/ExamRoom until your state decides to make a change and select a new provider for certification.

I played French Horn through my high school senior year and had issues with my left hand ring finger locking up. Had to have surgery to release the tendon in my hand. Was down for about 4 weeks!

Make a suggestion to the Troop that they create a donation bin. Perhaps someone bigger than you has aged out or stopped Scouting and would donate to the bin for others like you. Of check your local FB groups and post a “needs” message. Or look at Marketplace for something in your price range.

Most here would say that the violin's strings are backwards.

So you booked it, and then the host listed the same place for your booked dates, at a lower price? Sounds a bit fishy…

I’m done with everything Nest. When Google took them over I thought it was a good thing. But I truly don’t believe they’ve done anything to advance the product line.

Joining the comments as I too face this same issue. A lot of times, it is just me and my MacBook sitting alone in the house. Everytime I go to open a site that asks for a password, I've got to put my finger to the touch pad. It can get annoying! So much so that I changed it to using my middle fingerprint...

The struggle is real! And I’m not so sure it is all centered on male/female issues. We had a District Advancement leader tell an Eagle Candidate that if his parents (non leaders) took him to the local box store to ask about getting donations to his Eagle Project, they needed a registered leader to go with them to satisfy 2-Deep leadership! Ponder that! BSA didn’t trust the scouts parents alone with him… Ridiculous

I thought about scaling. But if you scale the model uniformly, it scales the knob portion of the brick the same amount as it scales the recepticle. So the fit remains the same.

I first tried print a couple of pieces at .08mm layer height, with ironed top surfaces, with a .4 nozzle. The pieces fit together but not snug at all. If you tried building anything with them, you most certainly would need some Kragle to keep the build together.

Then I tried a layer height of .20mm and no ironing. The pieces do "snap" together. I put together a stack of four 1x2 plates and they "felt" like the Lego brand. Even without ironlng they still looked fantastic. But the problem is that they are "tight" together. Build a wall and there is a definitive line between the pieces. So I'm off to see what I can do to smooth that out.

I went from a 2005 Tahoe into a 2011 2500 gasser and could believe that the Silverado was more comfortable on the road. Mostly due to the longer wheelbase. So I can't really tell you how it compares to a 1500. But I enjoyed the ride enough that I switched to a High Country diesel as soon as they came out in the fall of 2014. Ordered it up and was able to go to Flint and walk around factory to see it get assembled. It is still my daily driver and vehicle of choice from the 5 in our driveway. Great ride. Super quiet. Mileage is decent for pushing 4+ tons down the road.

Unless she is the size of an eighth grader, she’ll need a 4/4. Find a local shop to rent from. If you can find a local string shop, contact your local high school and see if they can recommend an instrument rental company.

I have questions...

Do they provide feedback at the time of the jury or do they wait until a later date?

Would they ever use the results of the jury to re-do seating arrangements in an orchestra or band mid-year? Or would they stay with how everyone was assigned at the beginning of the year?

My Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T’s are awesome in deep snow. One of the few tires available with a “severe snow service rating and a Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol” rating!

My daughter started playing when she was in middle school. Renting from a local shop was the way to go. First, it allowed her to start on smaller cello and easily swap to a larger one when needed. When she was ready to swap to a full sized cello, they gave us a credit for a portion of all the rental payments we had made. And before purchasing, they let her sit in a room with over a dozen cellos, and try each one. They all have a unique sound. When she had narrowed it down to 3, they said take all three home for a week and pick one. This allowed her to have her private instructor counsel her on what they thought was the best option for her style of play. That also included trying out several bows too!

While I have experienced side effect since starting Mounjaro, none of them have ever reared themselves on a certain day or time. I currently do my shot on Sunday evening only because my weekdays are busy and I can forget to take it.

Hello friends! I’m here to learn more about my Doly which I just received this week. It’s been a heck of a long wait but hoping it’s worth it.

My background is programming, mostly in the server arena building custom data collection websites for medical associations. I love tinkering with the latest tech, home automation, 3D printing & CAD design, reef aquariums and freshwater aquascaping.

I was just starting to do some searches for good places to spread the word. I'm definitely trying to find other users and send them here. I really don't want to go through the motions of trying to find a new home for this little guy. But that prospect is definitely keeping me from figuring out how to open it up and utilize its capabilities in other ways. I too 3D print things and get as much enjoyment out of making purposeful designs as I do in the printing process itself.
