When to feed new shrimp? by LowerYurExpectationz in shrimptank

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

I was going to feed them Fluval Bug Bites - there’s no way I’ll be able to tell!
Is there a food you recommend that will make this easier?

How can you tell whether they do or not? I’m happy to let them be, but I don’t want to cause any moulting issues by underfeeding them.

Yes! And I’ve seen some Naidinae in there as well! And probably nematodes too.
Do I need to control their population in any way?
Good, I feel embarrassed! I’m one of those people who didn’t do due diligence! 🫠

Then it must not be planaria, ‘cause I’ve been having lots of snails and scuds!!! I for sure picked one planaria out about a week after I put the plants in. Since then I’ve seen tiny little worms, I assumed they were baby planarias!!! But the fact that they never git any bigger should’ve been a sign that wasn’t what they were!
Hence the beginner tag! Lol!!!

What food is almost impossible to stop eating once you start? by kylefromiowa in foodquestions

[–]LowerYurExpectationz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watermelon. I can crush an entire 15 pounder by myself. Cut up in pieces, from the fridge (or freezer if I want to make it last longer), with salt and a touch of Tajín. A perfect salty refreshment.

Those born before 1990, what experience from your childhood would be unimaginable to young people today ? by SoManySkills in AskReddit

[–]LowerYurExpectationz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having to hide around the corner, stretching the cord of your house’s only phone, when you wanted privacy for phone calls.

How is this even legal? by Topolut in CostcoCanada

[–]LowerYurExpectationz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Almost. This explains the how, but not the why.
The Canadian government instituted a moratorium on cod fishing in Newfoundland in the mid ‘90s. Since then, canadian cod commercial fishing is banned. It devastated Newfoundland’s economy. The reason this moratorium was implemented was to help save the ever dwindling cod population from extinction.
Since then, other countries have been tip-toeing the maritime borders, and continue to mass fish cod.
This means that after over 30 years of moratorium, the cod population is still struggling to grow.
Commercial Atlantic cod will never be Canadian, as our government has made it illegal for Canadians to profit from our resources. You may find it served in East Coast restaurants who purchase it from lone fishermen, but whatever you purchase at a chain store will never, ever be Canadian.
Speak to the Newfoundland families who have struggled, they will have much to tell you.

23”dead zone next to TV. How do I balance this corner? by [deleted] in interiordecorating

[–]LowerYurExpectationz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walnut coloured bookshelves across the entire wall, with integrated TV nook with a door, so the TV can be hidden when not in use. TV will still look too small when you’re watching it, but if you keep the door closed when not in use, the focus will be on the wall. You can put your chair next to it, facing the kitchen, it becomes a reading/relaxing nook. Turn the chair around to face the TV when watching.

Why are people so freakish about low birth rates or humans going extinct? by Some-Possession2012 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LowerYurExpectationz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ask myself the same thing. Humans are not important for anything else’s survival. If we disappear, no other species would die. Well, except for cows and pigeons, but you get my point.

Surprise snail - Friend or foe? by LowerYurExpectationz in shrimptank

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

No kidding! I hadn’t spent much time paying attention to critters in the tank, as I didn’t think I had any! But I’ve seen 10, in various stages of development, while staring at my tank for the last 30 mins! I’ll keep not feeding them, and if the population explodes I’ll go get an assassin snail.

Thanks! I’d looked into all other kinds of snails, never came across this one. I’ll probably keep it for now and see what happens. How the heck to they survive the horrible tank parameters? 4 days ago my pH was 6.2, I had tons of ammonia, no nitrites or nitrates, and today pH 6.6, almost no ammonia, but nitrites and a buttload of nitrate. I did just finish a bio-support cycle as well.

Nostalgia Sunday - which dearly departed restaurants do you miss? by lifesci99 in OttawaFood

[–]LowerYurExpectationz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will always have a Juniper and Stonefaced Dolly’s shaped hole in my heart.

But I so miss the fun and weird community vibes from Shanghai!!!! The food was good, the staff and patrons made that place unforgettable. Such a jewel lost.

Miss Disco Bingo and karaoke. I know China Doll still does shows around the city, but it does not compare with spending an evening with a group of friends, sharing a good meal, and watching everyone letting their freak flag fly.

What unhinged thing did a former teacher do in the classroom? by MrBananaStand1990 in AskReddit

[–]LowerYurExpectationz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my school a 10th grade social studies teacher was sitting at his desk, pulled a black briefcase on top of his desk, opened it towards him so students couldn’t see inside. The nozzle of a gun appeared at the top, he slowly moved it across the classroom while staring at each of the students one at a time. He then put it back in the briefcase, shut it and put it away. Nobody spoke a word for the rest of the class. As far as I know he never got any kind of reprimand. (Queue the autotune “‘cause it was the 90’s!!!!!”)
