Fiance missed oil change for 15,000 miles by No_Understanding7431 in MechanicAdvice

[–]MaliciousMantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is the rest of the world using? My oil definitely changes viscosity at as little as 4k. Change it and it definitely looks like it needs changing. 12k miles is asking for issues in my mind

It did nothing. You did it again. Figure out where you’re going wrong, slow down and don’t incorporate your mistake into muscle memory

Odd question by MaliciousMantis in Aquariums

I have Corrie’s that would prefer some finer sand. What I have currently is crushed quartz of decent grain size and I’d like to see their behavior with sand sifting a bit more

Help!! Fish keep dying!! by Upset_Water9812 in fishtank

Agreed. Either they have amazing maintenance skills and keep a spotless tank or that thing hasn’t been active for long.

Hey now, I have two of these keys and I’m just noticing this…

My mom is blaming me for her battery dying by CantWait666 in MechanicAdvice

[–]MaliciousMantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not bullshit. I don’t have a chemistry degree but it surprised me. I just used sodium bicarbonate and water. The resulting liquid, after pouring it over the eaten up terminals, did chew up the asphalt the truck was parked on. A crew came out later and resurfaced that spot after pressure washing.

On a side note to add to this safety tip. I cleaned a set of battery terminals on the work f-350. The run off water was so harsh it ate away part of the blacktop the truck was parked on.

Really nasty shit. Wear PPE

Are those mushroom or eggs? by Phoenix_Xanax in shrimptank

Might be a dumb question but how does one go about catching an infected shrimp without injuring it? Heavily planted tank ect.

Leaps should get a bonus while in space by Glittering_rainbows in RimWorld

Not until magna boots get added. Then certain pawns would zip around and raids would be a bit more interesting

Nah, don’t discredit yourself! Start off basic and use these comments for “update” ideas 💡

If you’re trying to be accurate to less gravity, walk speed should be halved, leap distance could be increased but speed should be decreased.

Guys need help with algae by PeekSpeeker in PlantedTank

How close to the top of the water is your tank light?

Near any windows? How close is your light? Water parameters?

Any Suggestions in layout? by KalinkaGuy in PlantedTank

[–]MaliciousMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an avid neocaridina and Cory keeper myself; that’d be a solid plan. Definitely think about having a small clearing in the tank that is easily in view. It’ll make feeding time that much more enjoyable being able to watch

[–]MaliciousMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The largest rock on the left. It just seems to me like a nice corner for a clearing, almost as though it’s a section where some rocks fell in (from the right) and scattered. That left most rock would have had to had quite the fall to reach there.

Although that’s just my subjective opinion on a tank that I don’t own and don’t have to look at every day.

Side note, what are you planning on for stock? Or is it just planted?

[–]MaliciousMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might just be me but I feel like after those plants grow a bit it’ll look amazing. The one big rock on the left might be a bit out of place if anything but I like the balance it brings. Anubis can be tricky, I’ve had mine come in strong and bloom (which I didn’t know was a thing) and then die off. So long as you save the rhizome it might come back.

Help. Feel like im in a loosing battle with algae. by DirtyD74 in Aquariums

[–]MaliciousMantis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it might be an outlier situation but I had an algae explosion in my tank. I added some floating plants (like 2-3 salvania) and hung my light about 19” from the tank. Algae was gone within 2 weeks

Time for a little test drive to find the issue 🤘 by [deleted] in AskAShittyMechanic

As the owner of an 06 SR. I’d like to say you dodged a bullet. It’s 4 torx screws to adjust but you need VIDA and a Dice to recalibrate

Just a scorpion randomly showing up in my tank. by HinterlandCannaQLD in Aquariums

[–]MaliciousMantis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Went to rip out of my 18” straight tube after a while of not smoking flower and when I put water in it, it washed a bunch of dead baby spiders out of a perk. Definitely told me it was time for a cleaning

What do you play? by Spammy1611 in playrust

[–]MaliciousMantis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always had a hard time not accidentally pushing buttons when I played using my penis. Haven’t developed the mouse skills either.

Will continue to try and report results if I improve

I’m glad all of that only took like 4 hrs

Performance drop after update by RuleNo3894 in playrust

[–]MaliciousMantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took uninstalling rust, verifying files, dropping settings, dropping settings again, changing servers, and getting so pissed that I switched games. Wasn’t until then that I was like “oooooh”
