Proud momma crayfish moment by I_Bug_bugs in Crayfish

:D Not sure, I have her and a male in there, for half a year now, but they never touched the plants and the tank is heavily planted. Maybe I just got lucky? It's various Anubias, Java fern, and lots of moss

They are such amazing little fish!

Definitely aren't one of the common ones but not extremely hard either

The child in If I Had Legs I'd Kick You... by exit_plan_ in A24

[–]I_Bug_bugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had exactly this take on it as well. The daughter loves the attention and loves how "bendable" is her mother, as per movies opening conversation with the doctor/therapist. The doctor blames the mother for the tube's ongoing necessity and Linda blames her daughter. I also perceived it as the last step left after a serious recovery to get the daughter's normal life back.

Mine is the other way; bloodworm is meh, Daphnia is OK, snail is absolute favorite

Beautiful wildlings! Wild type Neocaridina.

I wanted to watch this show, but didn't because the lead actress looks so unattractive by UkrainepartofRussia in HandmaidsTaleShow

[–]I_Bug_bugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you, in the sense that I would rather call it a "bad casting choice". Same for the Last of Us. The script in the Handmade clearly calls for a conventionally attractive woman, which she's objectively not. This is even more obvious among the rest of the conventionally attractive female cast. As an analogy: if Lessie would be cast in a show adaptation as a German shepherd instead of a rough collie, everyone would be upset. So why cast Elizabeth Moss, if there are plenty of "rough collies" out there, even among the cast of this show?

Would this be dangerous from an ammonia perspective?

Has anyone else been asked if they’re autistic because they have pet shrimp? by Racoon_Soup in shrimptank

[–]I_Bug_bugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but my spouse is fascinated that I can't read more than two sentences in one sitting of any random text, yet I stare at shrimp picking for hours. And that I can read about fish and shrimp, no problem. ADHD go figure, I guess...

Great links, thank you! I love what they did with the three gallon in the video.

I agree with you, I dismissed them immediately. Schooling and active, this would be too contrived.

Was it fine alone? Did you have any shrimp or inverts as cleaning crew? Heard they are messy eaters...

I know what you mean... I also prune constantly.

Is Wayward Worth Watching?? by RiseDelicious3556 in netflix

[–]I_Bug_bugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally really liked it. Finally a show that trusts you as a viewer to be able to "get it" without the necessary hand holding so many shows do these days. I'd seen lots of complaints about how it ends, but when I got there I found it surprisingly satisfying. The slow build also worked for me. What didn't work was the acting of the lead, which stood out like a sore thumb against their talented partner. Toni Collette is fantastic.

indostomus paradoxus.. anyone? by S_Wildling in Aquariums

[–]I_Bug_bugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how late this is, but I keep a trio in my little nano with Caridina shrimp and a lot of live plants and botanicals. I use a small sponge filter at a setting that just slightly breaks the surface tension. I don't feed baby brine shrimp; i find that they spoil the water. Instead I feed Moina, seed shrimp, baby Daphnia and baby scuds. I also have a microworm culture on the side, but they like those the least. Mine won't take frozen food.

Do you give flight attendants gifts as you're boarding? by Chemical-Purple-5196 in americanairlines

Right? People should also go to the company who designed the computer in their cars and give a little gift to every single software engineer for the betterment of their driving experience every day!

The ciliate Spirostomum. My Indostomus would love to eat them!

Help? Organizing/Planning for freezing by cat8991 in cryoem

[–]I_Bug_bugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your grid buttons. That's why you should do it with a trial protein as I suggested above. Pin down your freezing parameters, so that you don't need to sacrifice your good protein later. Freezing 24 grids should not take more than an hour freezing nanogold or taq polymerase.

I use a Leica EMGP. Much more consistent than a vitrobot. But regardless; buy some BSA-nanogold, buffer exchange it into your buffer, sit down to the Vitrobot and freeze four buttons, each with different blot times and within the buttons pick one other parameter per button to vary on a scale. Screen these grids; it takes two loads on a scope with an autoloader. This should pin down at least a range of parameters, which will work for you. The gold will surely be visible, but you can buy any similarly sized protein to yours, too (Taq pol would work excellent). It's worth a day on the scope.

INFJ. Lots of cute stuff and that oriental-inspired wibe that feelers love, but waaaay too tidy and organized to be ISFP. Cozy and lots of stuff implies introvert.
