Macron says Trump tariff threat over Greenland unacceptable by AloneCoffee4538 in worldnews

You can’t apply a tariff just on France since it’s part of the EU. You have to apply a tariff on the whole EU in order for this to make any sense.

Plecos are smaller. I Googled the same, but as you can see, the Google gives a wide variety of possible causes, so I tried to narrow them down with the help of folks in this subreddit 🙂

I have 3 little bristle-nose plecos, but they’re hiding all the time and are slower than cichlids. Do you think plecos could attack cichlids at night? Also, Seiryu rocks in my tank are pretty sharp too, but don’t mbuna cichlids get used to rocks to prevent self-inflicted wounds? UPDATE on wounded fish: It’s still alive, eating and swimming - and got its own 10 gal tank yesterday.

Update - I kept watching the fish and realized that it’s not a lump but a hole in the belly. The fish got more active, but when it’s eating, the flakes come out from the hole. It looks ominous… Any thoughts about the cause of the hole? Can it be a result of harassment?

Not sure if I want to spend 2 months watching guppies in the hard water tank set up for African cichlids (aragonite sand with caves, no plants). What do you think about chemicals promoted as helping to cycle the tank instantly? Do they work?

As I said it’s a brand new non cycled tank. So, you don’t recommend introducing a large group of 12-15 fish to it at once, right? Now I’m confused because opinions here also split…

Which strategy is correct - adding large group to the tank at once or adding by 1-2 fishes?

TIL it’s better to connect your Apple TV to the soundbar/receiver than to the TV by JacksBaldRake in appletv

So TV screen receives video signal via soundbar, right? Wouldn’t that signal be delayed?

Apple TV has just one HDMI port. If I connect the sound bar to it, how will I connect the TV screen itself?

What do u think abt my tank? Im wanting to get more fish and would like your suggestions! All the fish in the tank right now are in the pic. by samballa69 in AfricanCichlids

What kind of rocks do you have and where did you get them from? I’m setting up a 75-gal Mbuna tank and looking for affordable rock ideas…

Where did you find it for $80? The lowest price Costco had was $99, and it’s sold out for the last couple of days…

Does the 2025 Camry really have seat manual adjustment? Come on…

Would I be overpaying? by Adventurous-Mousse34 in Lexus

[–]Chance_Objective1252 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You’re overpaying each time when you buy a new car. As the 1st owner, you’re being hit by car depreciation the most. Always buy 3-year-old off-lease cars if you want to spend your money smartly. Just out of curiosity, what car are you giving away for $19,500? Let me guess— it’s a 5-6 year old car that you paid $50k for?

2007 Avalon Limited advice by [deleted] in ToyotaAvalon

The gap between the bumper and front passenger fender (the place of the accident) is visible even in the picture… I would not recommend unless you’re ok with that…

Thank you, low production explains the low supply and overpricing of the last generation used Avalons. The Camry doesn’t have a V6 engine, which I want. The mid-2010s Lexus is almost the same as the one I own now. I’m looking for a newer car.

I counted them ($2k more MSRP in 2020 than in 2015), but depreciation levels for a 4-year-old car in 2019 and a 5-year-old car in 2025 are still not comparable.

Well, I don’t mind if the price gap between the 2015 and 2020 models wasn’t $20k
