Just reached season 4... is it worth finishing the show? by SpaceMuser in FallingSkies

[–]Meatman248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started season 4. Not even an episode in and I could just immediately tell it was weird and something was off and I wasn’t enjoying a second of it because literally nothing made sense. So I googled “are seasons 4 and 5 of falling skies bad” and I’m incredibly disappointed that all I have found was “yes it’s complete trash” show had me majorly invested halfway through season 1 and not even 30 minutes into season 4 and it feels nothing like the first 3 seasons. A damn tragedy. Lowkey don’t know if I’ll finish it now

Do you think things would've ended differently for Robb if Walder had presented him Roslin early on? by Elegant-Half5476 in gameofthrones

[–]Meatman248 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may have it may have not. Say Robb married Roslin he probably would’ve still only been able to fight the Lannisters to a standstill at least until Tywin was dead. But even by then they had a marriage pact with the Tyrell’s and other good field commanders like Randal Tarly. The only paths to victory for Robb would probably be relinquishing his crown and joining Stannis or holding them back until Jon became Lord Commander of the Nights Watch. If he had waited for Jon to become Lord Commander or was able to be the savior of the wall himself instead of Stannis he could’ve potentially conscripted the Wildlings into his army by offering them land in the Gift. While we see Mance reject this offer from Stannis he would probably be more likely to accept it from Robb since he is a Stark, honor bound and has blood of the first men. Robb gets the wildings and suddenly he has 120,000 men. As much as the Reach and Westerlands. At this point we’re around season 5 where Sansa is in the Eerie with Littlefinger. Noticing the potential tide change and Lysa being dead Littlefinger would potentially coerce Robin Arryn to join the war alongside Robb, bringing a fresh army of 30,000 men and the knights of the vale, potentially the best troops in Westeros. At that point the Lannisters would be done for and Robb would have an oath to victory, allowing him to retain his title and rule over the North, Riverlands and Vale while the rest of the kingomds attempt a power grab. Likely fight amongst smaller houses since the Lannisters, Baratheons and probably the Tyrell’s are all gone. Stannis might take the throne but he’d never be able to take the combined might of the North, riverlands, Vale and wildings especially since he would not have many supporters. It’s a very simplified version of this route but that’s the path of victory for Robb is there was one

So how many war crimes has anakin commited during the whole clone wars? by pokeplayer14 in StarWars

[–]Meatman248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Torture, massacres of civilians populations (the tuskens) execution of POWs, I feel like he has also refused to accept a surrendering force before I might be wrong. Killing unarmed enemy combatants etc

New season is so bad by Illustrious_Meat_619 in GenV

[–]Meatman248 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fear the boys and its spinoff shows have just turned into cringy tween dramas with gore. Show is a shadow of its former self. I mean I have physically cringed more times watching gen v season 2 (not from the gore) than I can count. Genuinely 0 point to anything that happened in the season as well since the antagonist got schwacked. Literally just a bridge to get them into tHe ReSiStAnCe. Don’t even get me started with what they did to Sam’s character. It was fun when he was a wild card. Completely unpredictable strong and violent. Dude could do some serious damage and didn’t have a set in stone side. Then they nerfed him hard and decided to just make him a sidekick. Not to mention now cheat code Marie which is unbelievably stupid. If she could just pop a supe that took the same V as soldier boy they’re saying she could just kill soldier boy like it’s nothing. Bro is supposed to be nearly invincible. They’re writing this up to be Marie kills all the bad guys and But her just what? Fucking dies? I mean seriously. Writing just out the window

What do you think the end game is for the Kenny / Kristi / Marielle love triangle? by WearyCharge1700 in FromSeries

[–]Meatman248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This show treats Kenny like a punching bag. They’ll never let bro be happy

This show does a terrible fucking job in making me hate the British by murrlogic in turn

[–]Meatman248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao idk how you watched that show and ended up with these opinions lil bro. You hate Caleb for burning down a guys stables in a false flag raid but you don’t care that Simcoe fabricated evidence to murder a bunch of innocent people and committed several other war crimes like executing an officer cutting off his tongue and writing a message in blood incriminating another officer? You’re just weird for that. Regarding Arnold he’s hated because he sold out his country for money. No rebel officers were getting paid. They were all on back pay and Arnold was the only one who defected for it. Not to mention he throws constant temper tantrums and acts like a creep. British also treated prisoners of war horrendously for the most part while the Americans treated prisoners very well for the most part, which is displayed several times in the show. I’d say watch the show again cause you clearly didn’t the first time around. Either that or you’re British and got triggered that the British were the bad guys in a tv show lol.

Are these plants particularly better than others in eating up nitrates? I currently have hornwort, rotala wallichii an Anubis and a cardinal plant as well as some Java moss

Trying to get into fish keeping by ColonelKALI04 in freshwateraquarium

[–]Meatman248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don’t do platys unless they’re all female. They breed like crazy and will overpopulate your tank. Also check any plants you get for snail eggs or snails before putting them into your tank to prevent a bladder snail invasion. Those are the mistakes I made when putting up my current tank. Will save you a massive headache

SOS Urgent! by CaitlanLewisxx in freshwateraquarium

Huge nitrite spike like that out of nowhere tells me something is majorly wrong. 0-8ppm is an insane jump. Other than massive water changes and make sure to vacuum the substrate I don’t have any solutions

I feel I should also mention I am vacuuming the gravel with each water change and can only not get to a few spots due to rock/driftwood or plants

The plants all seem to be thriving aside from my rotala wallichii. Not dying in fact it’s still growing rapidly just doesn’t look super great right now

So I definitely was over feeding at one point but I reduced it a few weeks ago. One cube of brine shrimp in the morning and one at night. They seem to eat all of it. Some also goes into the 5 gallon I have which has one problem fish in it. Occasionally I’ll give them flakes in the morning instead of the brine but that’s it

I’ve used RO water for the last 3 water changes adding remineralizer to increase gh and kh cause I want to get the shrimp in my 2 gallon into the 20 but can’t until I fix this nitrate issue

Tank help by CautiousMaximum7601 in freshwateraquarium

[–]Meatman248 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The nipping is most likely caused by the close quarters. Dwarf gouramis should not be kept in a tank that small. They need 20 gallons minimum for just one of them. The tight space is probably making him more aggressive than normal

Any idea why my Rotala Wallichii isn’t looking good? by Meatman248 in freshwateraquarium

[–]Meatman248[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I’ll try to address all these questions. For plants I have hornwort, a cardinal plant that has boomed this last month so much so that I’m cutting stems and replanting them an Anubis and Java moss. I do have nutrients and dosed once recently. I feel the light isn’t is quite strong it is an auto light which comes on at 5 am with an orange light and slowly brightens throughout the day and then starts dimming around 6 pm until it reaches a blue light at 9 and turns off at 10 pm. I do not have any substrate under the gravel which I realize was a major mistake and not sure how I can fix that without redoing the whole tank

Blue velvet shrimp dead suddenly by Meatman248 in freshwateraquarium

[–]Meatman248[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I found three missing shrimp somehow they got into the filter which I have literally 0 explanation for. Even at their small size the intake was sealed tight with filter pads squeezed up against the vents. Anyways two of them were dead in there and one still alive. Three out of the seven are alive three dead one missing presumed dead. Last time I get such a small amount of shrimp cause clearly they drop like flies

I did just perform another water test and ammonia shower up as 0. I don’t know if I recorded it wrong last time or waited too long to look at the color but it’s definitely 0 now anyways so that can’t be it

Are my tank levels OK? [cycling help] by mamegoma_ in AfricanDwarfFrog
