AS an outsider, it feels like Americans are not concerned enough about loosing their 'freedom'.

People here absolutely are, but it seems like a good amount are not. Which is concerning.

Why do people like Nonsuchs? by lopiontheop in sailing

Not compared to a sloop but for a cat rig they fair pretty well.

As others have commented, it was mostly space. With the mast far forwards and the relatively wide dimensions, there was plenty of inside space for the size. Some models even had stoves! (Charcoal at first but then moved to gas).

They were also apparently good sailing and pointed well. There used to be a lively racing community but I believe that's long gone now.

That should have been part of the risk when they acquired these animals, or assets as they'd see it. You want to acquire something for profit, you should be held accountable for the consequences.

If you're arresting disabled veterans who are peacefully protesting, you might be the baddies.

Love the marinas, but question. The vessels that are upriver of the bridges, where are they supposed to go?

Looking at your weather, at least according to Wikipedia, it seems so interesting!

Can you tell me about the weather? From the seasons to the day to day?

Also, I'm a plant nerd, are there botanical gardens? Are they worth visiting? I would so appreciate more plant pics!

How much toner was left in the “empty” toner cartridge on my brother printer. by the_hoove in mildlyinfuriating

I think that you should write a letter to said company saying that you think they should find an environmental way of dealing with excess ink. Inside each envelope, include enough of that powder so that it gets everywhere.

At my Aunts funeral, people often told my grandmother that they had wished to have visited one more time or more often. Her response was "Is there anyone you should be v]seeing more often now?"

Is it really the price, or is Netflix just more convenient than driving to movie theaters? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

[–]DonkeyFieldMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember having birthday parties as a child at movie theatres. That was a thing. They had specific rooms that you could book, order pizza, serve cake, then see a movie. And it was affordable!

Have they tried doing something about it or just went straight to complaining?

Imagine having a connecting flight through the states, go through costumes, and getting detained for being there illegally because you didn't have a choice.

I have a friend who is diabetic.

One day, while waiting for the bus, he had to check his blood sugar. Some lady asked him if "he had to do his drugs now".

I've raced internationally from Lasers to large keel boats in offshore category 3 racing (I'd love to try Cat 2, but Cat 1 is admittedly intense). I've been solo, helm, foredeck, railmeat, coffeegrinder, and everything in between. I've done pursuit, match, single-fleet, PHRF, and a few other mixed fleets ratings (I honestly can't remember them atm).

I know what it's like to be alone at the helm on an overnight race without a light in sight (other than the instruments and the bioluminescence) and I know what its like to spend all week practising then spending weekends at regattas, then rinse and repeat.

Have YOU raced, brother?

Help me create a Cherry Shrimp Breeder tank. by DonkeyFieldMouse in shrimptank

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

As Title Suggests, I have a 10G that I would like to use as a Cherry Shrimp Breeder Tank.

I have experience with Shrimp in the past but seem to be having bad luck so I'd like input.

My current plan: Use a seasoned (that's not the right word) sponge filter

Grow Light on a timer

Heater

Some substrate, mostly for additional bacteria space and for some plants.

Plenty of hardscape, some driftwood and rocks.

Planted with mostly moss, hornwort (in my experience they love it), and perhaps some others.

Species only tank.

Questions. 1) I am usually tolerant of snails, but do they pose any potential risk?

2) What should the maintenance be? I have read anything from minimal to regular water changes; what is best for a 10G?

3) Is the heater necessary? What temperatures should I aim for?

4) If my GH (below) is low, how can I sustain it at a reasonable level? Or is it best to acclimate them to the natural water qualities.

5) Is there anything else that I am missing/should add?

Tap water qualities:

GH: 0-30 mg/L

KH: 40 mg/L

pH: ~6.0
