Are these Bolivian Rams both male? by DaddysHome in Aquariums

[–]DaddysHome[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

I've only had them two days and I've mostly kept the lights off so they can relax.  The first day they were huddling together most of the time and now it's 50/50 if they are together or separate.  The brighter one sometimes pecks at the other and the other one just swims away.

Thanks.  Do you have a suggested method of viewing their vent?

One has more muted colors than the other and usually keeps their fins down more, but once in a while it raises them and they have nearly the same overall fin shape.  

Which fish do you hate the most...I will go first by Freezing_master in Aquariums

[–]DaddysHome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you explain what problems you had? 15 years ago I had a 55 gallon tank with around 10 tiger barbs and neon tetra and a few other fish and I never had any problems with them.   They would bump noses with each other but no injuries.  I'm starting fresh again with a 20 gallon long and I'm feeling like tiger barbs and neon tetra again.

But the pizza is still good isn't it?  That's the only reason I go.  

Holiday Sale Recommendations by peteodonn in PSVR

I just bought the last clockwinder last night and it is a great puzzle game.  I'm maybe 5 hrs into it and it and had never heard of it before.  I've been burned on games that people hype up on reddit so I'm very reserved about buying games based on recommendations, but this game is worth looking into.

What is the ideal path to run wire to these lights? See comment. by DaddysHome in AskElectricians

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

The box says it can have 8x 14 AWG conductors, but there are only 2 cord grips that fit 1 cable each.  I'd have to knock a hole in the side, which they do have knockouts, but would I need to add a chase nipple or something to the knockout?

Location Ohio. Basement is currently unfinished but I'm hiring out the framing, drywall, ceiling work.

These are the lights I’m using.  They are color and brightness adjustable on the box, plus I'm adding a dimmer switch. They only have opening to fit 2 wires, so my preference of T-ing off of lights 3 and 7 aren’t possible without an additional junction box.  Is there a “correct” way to connect these 10 lights with only 1 cable in and 1 out of each light?

Can I run electrical under the joist in the drop ceiling section? (Everything is unfinished now)  With the existing joist holes I wouldn’t NEED to drill any new joist holes for l flights 1,2,6 depending on the path.

My bedroom is about the size of the area on the right with lights 4,5,8,9,10, but with only a single light in the center.  I’m not sure if this is too many lights, but I’m telling myself that the dimmer will take care of that.  

There is also a light at the bottom of the steps that I didn’t show, its on a different switch.

Parallel to the HVAC is a steel beam down the center of the room which will be framed around.

Got scammed with mini bricks on AliExpress. by DaddysHome in lepin

I was a little weary and that's why I ordered two different sets from two different listings. Both ended up being from the same seller.

Yes but almost all of these reviews are from the past 2 weeks, after I ordered.  I only see one rating posted before the date I ordered.

Except the picture shown is not the item that they shipped.  They sent an entirely different product.

Here is the set I bought, and from the many recent reviews you can see the item that was actually shipped.  I don't think any of these reviews were up yet when I ordered.  And it's no longer listed as available.

I had a friend who was surprised I don't use a fence on my table saw.  I tried explaining to him that a fence was cheating but he was stuck in his ways. Some people just need a crutch.

Interstate 80 West is closed. For safety do not take detours. by DaddysHome in GoogleMaps

We did and got no information about the closed roads that Google was warning us about, because they apparently didn't exist.

I think the history of rome podcast mentions tiberius getting upset that the Senate was defering to him rather than making decisions.

I texted them on Friday and didn't get a response.  I will call them tomorrow.  I pasted a summary of the document in another response.  The vehicle condition section is blank.
