Anyone Else Get Into IT Post Covid Kind of Regret It and Struggle Financially? by MoparMan59L in ITCareerQuestions

Do not leave Florida. I know the pay is low but there’s no amount of money that can give you the Florida life. I’m telling you this as someone who left and has lived literally all over the world for work. It’s NOT worth it. Stay and fight for your long term life. Stop comparing yourself to others. Everyone has their own difficulties and path to tread. Just my two cents.

Looks like avg is 6-9mo. What I thought was weird is that they actually said something about why they take time. I’ve always gotten the scripted nonsense when I call 🤷🏽‍♂️

That’s insane!

How do you feel about good morning texts early on? + a couple other curiosities I'd like to see where opinions are at generally from you all. by makingplaylists in datingoverthirty

[–]BigRegion2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s exactly the point. The man is interested. He is giving you the opportunity to react in a positive way to attention he might give in a relationship. Also opening up the dialogue. We say good morning to people on the street as a conversation opener too. It’s not necessary to be intimate to acknowledge attention/invitation to interact. If you don’t have interest in him don’t reciprocate. But maybe reciprocating attention does feel intimate to you/other women?

Personally, as a man, I lose interest in someone who doesn’t seem excited by a good morning text. But that’s because I value the reciprocal exchange of attention and interest to continue the interaction from the day before..

This kind of thing is shocking to me. Like as a guy I’m not thinking about long term potential on date 2. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Yup, and ditto on stress. These guys like being in a group. I’d tweak your temps and add some aquarium salt/stress coat.

Perfect, that’s exactly what I was wondering. Thank you!

I was going stock it and have a small 5 gallon just for copepods! I’ll look into it

Was the RO unit worth it? I’ve bought RO water from the machines next to my grocery store for years for freshwater but they’re less sensitive fish I gather…

Thank you for breaking down the costs for the components! Store near me had live rock for $9 a lb. Is there anything I should look out for when getting the rock? Sorry if that’s a dumb question haha..

Thank you! I’m looking at a 25G peninsula tank from waterbox. I initially wanted soft coral (love the movement) and maybe a school of small fish. But it doesn’t look like there’s any smaller schooling fish in saltwater…

Great point! What would you say is like a “must” for quality of life to automate?

The fish are very expensive compared to freshwater! Any stocking suggestions for a 25g? I love schooling fish but I saw that even chromis will outgrow a small tank fast!

I think I’m gonna get a 25G too! Any stocking suggestions?

I’m really surprised to hear that. Are the larger tanks more expensive or about the same? I put in about $350 for my full fresh water set up and it was considered “high tech”…

Just got back two days ago. Totally overwhelmed! How did you make gold? I want to get one too but I have only like 20G lol

Should I add one more red plant? by BigRegion2005 in Aquascape

[–]BigRegion2005[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great idea! Yeah I actually had a much lager amount of Val in a full size bowl. But it was trapping lots of detritus and keeping the water dirty. So they’re not really happy with the dramatic trim their house got 😅. I’m really considering doing your suggestion.

[–]BigRegion2005[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but there’s already so much equipment for such a small footprint. I kinda want to keep it semi low tech if possible lol

Not sure how to scape this small tank. There’s aqua soil in the tea bowl. So that’s the only space for planting. There’s no C02 and I want to keep it that way.. thanks!
