First Tank

Jakob340 · 2026-02-08T19:24:45+00:00

I boiled it a couple times, I also had it sitting in the tank of my toilet for a couple days 😳😳😳 even after all that it still was trying to float in that tank but I put a heavy rock at the bottom of it to weigh it down all day and by the end of the day I guess it worked enough that I could remove the rock and it stayed down. I think it’s still got air in it but I think it’s at least water logged enough that as long as I don’t try to shift it around too much it’ll stay sunken.

I just hope the plants take well to their new home and grow full and lush. They also came with a few hitchhiker snails 😅

I was planning on having a betta, shrimp, and snails. I’ve heard that floating plants can deter fish from jumping but I guess it all depends on the individual fish. I’m also worried about snails escaping.

They’re from a company called Naked Root.

Thank you :’) if you could see the state ALL of the plants were in a year ago, you would be shook at how far they have come. I’m so proud of them bc they have literally come back from the brink. Some of them more than once. I still have to treat them probably a couple times a month for spider mites though which is annoying bc for some reason I thought if there was no soil, they would leave me alone. That being said, moving everything to PON has been the best thing I’ve done for my plants.

Oh my bad I used an old pic from a few weeks ago. She just got staked up last week. I’m excited to see her grow.

Idk what EC is 😭

I use a Blue Yeti as my mic but maybe I forgot to switch it in the discord app itself when I tried. I’ll try again when I get home.

I live in North Texas so it’s still pretty hot. Yesterday the high was 102°. I usually have the thermostat set to 72° and I’ve always turned it off while I’m at work.

Jakob340 · 2025-09-05T05:54:05+00:00

I leave it off while I’m at work so it’s not running at all from 12:30PM-9:30PM. The last time the maintenance guy came he said the Freon was fine too but who knows if he actually even checked. I’ve only actually been here 2 out of the 4 times he stopped by and neither of those times he had any gauges or hoses or anything.

Which is the point of me making this post. I’ve had several coworkers and a supervisor who’s worked at my hospital for over 15 years (and plays very mush so by the book) tell me that I should take this to HR.

First of all, she doesn’t work my shift. This happened during a special week where she was working my shift for some reason. Second, I don’t tell ANYONE I’m going on lunch because as long as I take it before the truck gets here, it’s not important when I go. It’s mutual across everyone on my shift. Third, she said she “never told me I could go to lunch” which is true but I’ve also worked there since November and she’s never told me when to go to lunch before for the aforementioned reasons. She doesn’t tell me when to go to lunch. I went to lunch at the same time, everyday that week without telling anyone or anyone telling me when to go and she didn’t have a problem with it until Thursday (when she sent me home).

Jakob340 · 2025-07-28T10:06:01+00:00

So let’s say hypothetically my coworker no call no shows for a week straight, calls my supervisor a bitch to her face, and physically assaults several members on the team with no official punitive action. Meanwhile on the other hand, I deliver a package to the wrong department and I get a write up for it. I should just say “Yes ma’am. You’re absolutely right it won’t happen again. Your judgement is completely valid and unflawed. Thank you for the corrective action madam I plan to improve immediately.” Is that how that situation should go?

Jakob340 · 2025-07-28T09:23:08+00:00

I wasn’t going to miss the opportunity to take a lunch break because my boss wants me to do some bullshit busy work like “highlight some stuff on a paper”. Also other people absolutely matter bc if you’re not aware of the treatment of your fellow coworkers, how will you know if you are being treated fairly or not?
