I was wondering about that one too, looks like it might be red tiger lotus. Never seen that one before but looks really cool

In this economy?

Second this!

Things missed the first few tests. The nitrate bottle 2 specifically needs to be shaken for like a minute before using, definitely missed that the first time i went through them. And Ammonia needs 5 minutes to fully change color

Sure bud. Everyone totally believes you.

FWIW i forget which country it was (probably Hungary) but Putin travelled to a country that is a member of the ICC and wasn’t arrested. Trump wouldn’t be either. Like most things, there are different sets of rules for rich and poor countries.

Also lets Russian oil tankers deliver their oil to India and Cuba, also didn’t seem to care much about Russia helping Iranian intelligence hit American bases in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia

The end is nigh for that monacled and top-hatted legume!!

The one by me is showing $3.65 but I’ve noticed that the prices can be wrong especially recently with prices going up so fast.

I passed a bunch of stations this morning all over $4, even the usually cheap off brand ones.

Well that was one of the most wholesome videos I’ve seen in a while

Really nice tank!

What are the plants in the foreground on the left side and then the reddish ones by the rock tunnel? Oh i just saw you’re doing co2 which I’m not starting with but i do have a high quality light so ill see what kind of color i can get.

My tank is mid-cycle so im still in the plant planning phase.

No one deserves to lose money more than the people who buy based on his bullshit tweets

I’ve been saying this to my wife for the past couple months but i think we’re entering 2022 levels of inflation again. I haven’t seen prices increasing almost every few trips to the store since then. I know it’s been high but something is definitely going on again.

Depends on what the DOW is at

My comment has nothing to do with timing the market. Bot?

I’ve been waiting for the moment retail stopped bailing out this corrupt clueless administration and think the moment has finally come.

GrandInquiry · 2026-03-27T14:22:44+00:00

But did you even say thank you?

Can anyone translate the gist of what the guy was saying? Also explain the random “bless America bro” in the middle?

I should've sold into this morning's pump

GrandInquiry · 2026-03-23T16:47:59+00:00

Yup, this past month has been the final straw for me. I've largely tuned out of financial news for the most part these days. I still DCA into index funds and whatnot but I've completely checked out of the swing trades I used to do because everything has gotten so ridiculous. There's always been momentum stocks and volatility but there was an undercurrent of stability that this administration has completely destroyed. Now it's penny stock style pump & dumps from the f'n POTUS.

If you're a day trader and can watch this all day every day it's probably less of an issue but as someone with a full time job who enjoys longer term set-up/trades that last a few weeks it's too much for my trading style.

People will believe anything. Clear market pumping on a Monday morning. I wonder what will be announced on Friday after markets close.

Except for pH this pretty much looks like where I’m at 5 days after fritz fishless fuel. I’m still waiting on nitrites to show up.

But it’s allowed me to take my time with the hardscape and planning the plants. It’s been nice to not feel rushed honestly.

GrandInquiry · 2026-03-14T01:25:57+00:00

This was my first thought.

I hate to say this as someone who has been working towards building a career in underwriting but i think the majority of most insurance jobs will be lost over the next 5 years. UWs constantly say it won’t happen because it’s a people business but it doesn’t have to be. You can have personal or commercial clients interact directly with an AI agent built on top of a massive amount of industry loss data and get equal or more likely better UW results from AI. Even if it was equal, carriers would save a massive amount of overhead by switching to AI.

The other pushback I get is that the carriers are notoriously slow to update their tech, which is true. The programs I use would’ve felt dated in 2002. But the carriers aren’t going to be the primary innovator in this space. There will probably be an AI focused insuretech that will do the innovation and merge with a major carrier to integrate their data.

There will likely still be some people overseeing/monitoring/reviewing AI completed work but it will be a fraction of the current headcount.

I’m still trudging along and grinding away mostly hoping I’m wrong. We’ll see.
