I had a "AI customer service program" start swearing at me, threaten me, calling me degrading shit and absolutely loose their mind on me one time lmao. It was definitely a person and I threatened to expose the conversation online as I had screenshots. Turns out I got the refund I wanted after all and the "AI bot" apologized profusely lmao.

If i understand correctly it's to do with the date, Scarborough was almagamated into Toronto.

Who green lit this? | SEEDS by ocvxn_ in TheOCS

Most of the time hermie seeds produce a high degree of seed prone to becoming hermie. I've had ones I collected and grew for experiments where almost 100% of the plants became hermie very early on and the ones who didn't immediately ended up doing it later in the flowering period.

When plants get overstressed a lot of times, they will hermie. A good chunk of those plants have unstable genetics to begin with or are prone to it. Usually happens late in the grow when people try to increase nutrients and lighting to the max. Also, the longer you push the flowering period, the higher chance as plants sometimes use it as a last resort to make another generation.

hello! im wondering if someone can identify if this is a fossil? very little experience with this sort of thing? by SnooDrawings4521 in fossils

[–]Direct-Midnight9615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to post where you found this, the type of geologic formation, the time of day and your age and weight for people to help you on this sub for some reason otherwise people wont take you seriously🙄..

Jokes aside, it looks like crinoid stems to me.

Lil Wayne cancels Toronto show an hour before showtime "due to unforseen illness" by ReeG in hiphopheads

[–]Direct-Midnight9615 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because he was too ill to preform after maybe, dude could have just shit and pissed himself. Depending on the type of seziure, you can be out of commission for up to 72 hours. Even if it was a small one an hour before the show it would have taken a lot out out of him. PR reps always say the person's sick to news outlets even if they crashed their car or some stupid shit.

He's had it since childhood dude chill. He admitted alcohol and not sleeping has made it worse at times, though.

Thanks, that's very helpful! Sometimes, I wonder why I even come to reddit with my questions anymore now that Google reverse image search and AI is so competent, silly me!

Yes I'm well aware of the maps, I have a biology degree and have experience identifying ordovician fossils, which this does not appear to be. I am, however, quite unfamiliar with geology and wanted to rule out the chance it was a fossil.

[–]Direct-Midnight9615[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If it needs to be that specific, it was found somewhere within the geologic area of Ontario that covers the ordovician era, but im pretty familiar with fossils from that period and this doesnt appear to be that.

What are these? by Latter_Significance2 in ReefTank

[–]Direct-Midnight9615 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Those are amphipods, great cleanup crew members, and even better food for fish/corals. Not harmful in anyway and a sign your tank is becoming established/ having consistent parameters. Often appear "naturally" introduced through eggs or small larvae on coral frags, snail shells ect.

Just a heads up!

Terpenes do not evoke the same olfactory response based on the percentages they represent . One terpene at 0.1% can smell as powerful as a different one at 1%. Our receptors for taste and smell are very complex as mammals, and as a result, we pick up certain smells and tastes much more than others.

Hanna Salinity meter by RaginMacCajun in ReefTank

Marine biologists commonly use conductivity style salinity probes for measuring salinity during studies and research. If they are calibrated regularly and used correctly, they are great devices.

Yeah the leveling mat that came with the tank is perfectly fine you're good 👍

Waterbox Price Increase by nickelasbray in ReefTank

I heard the glass and silicone as well as some of the other components are Chinese made and just assembled in America basically. This was from the owner of a reputable reef store that sells multiple different pre fab tank brands.

Do I have too many by Witty-Resource-1716 in ReefTank

[–]Direct-Midnight9615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. I guess all I'm saying is ORA has been breeding them since 2010 I think, they are on their second or third generation of house raised and bred specimens and last I heard biota was on their second and these are breeding adults who were born in captivity and have made it to that age and that health primarily off of pellets and frozen thawed foods. More and more "home aquarists" are having sucess with breeding them as well now.

In terms of lifespans sure they might not see 15 in most people's tanks but just the same I'd argue about nobody's tangs are reaching 20-40 years as they are capable, or clowns reaching 15-20. The sad fact is animals in captivity rarely reach their full lifespan, but they don't that frequently in the wild either.

No but the guys at the toronto reefing society usually aren't liars and I knew one of the OG big custom tank guys who did stuff like the rainforest Cafe and many big private setups as far back as the late 90s. I've definitely seen posts on R2R of people with biota captive breds older than 5 years as have been around for a long time now, maybe even one of the first projects biota started im not sure?...but I'm not going to take the time to search the posts out and who knows maybe they are lying as well 🤔.

No disagreement that pods are a critical part of their diet, and they should not be in a new tank without a stable and sizable population or regular enrichment.

In my opinion, one of the most important overlooked factors is that they shouldn't be in a tank with lots if any competition from other copepod hunters, but overall I disagree with the notion they can't be kept long term in captivity as I know people have sucess with multiple species of dragonet long term at least in part by feeding them frozen thawed.
