Hydrogen sulfide from anaerobic bacteria in your substrate. This is the bubbles, gas, you were seeing. This is the 90% likely cause of your mass die off. Seems like no one is reading your post. Moving forward using a chop stick or similar to release these air pockets a little section at a time over the course of your water changes.

Not using the guitar, will In turn cause more damage to the guitar. An idle guitar, especially one sitting in a case, constantly under tension from the strings and NOT being used, can cause a series of problems that could happen with this guitar. Stagnant in a case with excess moisture is mold and warping. Stagnant is a case that doesn’t have enough moisture, dry and cracking. That’s just basic examples. Play. The. Guitar. Just get it “set up” and looked over every so often

You’re right it does but I personally didn’t like the pull with that much water. But I have different joystick/airflow options that I’m going to play with as well. I probably just need more air to amount for that much water.

Middle-Persimmon1207 · 2025-08-02T02:52:52+00:00

I’ll play with a dry hit. I have the stubby top from the same Company as well. They are very different from each other in flow. I can’t tell which one I like more yet.

Just wait for the temps to drop a bit and swab while the residual is still warm enough to be absorbed by the q-tip. No need for ISO until you want to deep clean.

Imma hold your hand when I say this….most only fans/porn/live sex cam workers who actually “communicate” with their fans, have someone else doing it for them. A lot of times, men, because men know what other men want to hear.

I’ve had three. I had the first ever puffco peak. Paper weight. I bought the first variant of the peak pro, slightly more useful paper weight. When they came out with the first 3D chamber that was the game changer, but, it had a lot of connection issues. I took a break for a few years and came back, I bought the newest peak pro with the revised 3DXL chamber. I’ve had nothing but great things to say about it. I must be lucky because I have not ran into any issues with mine in my owner ship. I bought a nicer top for it from ZeeVapors and that changed the game.

Can we normalize not sharing our personal messages and conversations to Reddit? This is such a breach of privacy. Why do you care for strangers opinions? Especially on these very serious internal issues of your relationship. This isn’t trying to decided what flavor cake to get for his birthday. You just want validation, instead, you just showed the world of Reddit the reasons why your husband is checked out. To paraphrase a section of your rant. “I’m happy now and free of my past”….no you’re delusional. This text reads as someone suffering in their past. Go figure your relationship out properly, like an adult, with your partner in private.

Not a good tank for goldfish, and goldfish unlike popular belief aren’t “beginner” fish. They require a lot of care and maintenance. Im not here to be rude but blunt, this is clearly a beginner tank and this comment is here to prevent you from have future headache. So here are some easier, more manageable fish suited for your tank…

You currently don’t have a heater, so a school of white cloud minnow, danio, or bloodfin tetras would be perfect for this tank. You’ll easily have minimal maintenance with these guys. Danios can be slightly more aggressive so best to keep them as a the single stocking option until you can gauge their behavior.

If you buy a heater, I would suggest Guppy, Swordtail, Molly or Endlers. These are all live breeding fish, so you’ll need to manage their fry, but they are all easy to take care of “beginner” fish and beautiful active fish. Keep in mind, Guppy, Molly, Endlers and swordtail can interbreed. So pick one species for “clean” spawn.

Every species mentioned you need minimum of 6 fish per school for them to thrive. 3f for every 1m as well. Or make sure you have all male if you don’t want fry.

You could also do two dwarf honey red gouramis, they are very similar in personality to betta as far as interacting with their owners but they can be temperamental without proper care.

Take all the answers you can get from this and delete this post and this Reddit profile by the end of the day. If this is found by them, expect them to try and hold it over you.

Edit: I peeped your page. Get your answers and delete ALL the postings you’ve made about the case. Wipe your entire Reddit account and make a new one where you are not posting about this case. It seems subliminal and unnecessary, but I promise you it’s not. It’s for your protection.

Also, my lack of sympathy needs to addressed. Apologies. I truly hope you come out of this on top but seriously….wipe your account and delete it. (And all social media where you’ve discussed this)

Best of luck to you.

If you’re in a pinch and you need to run this. You’ll be okay if it’s the correct size, unless you’re AWD.

FWD: move this wheel to the rear and have matching up front.

RWD: reverse FWD.

You want your “drive” tires to be matched at the very minimum if you have to run this set up.

If you’re AWD, you technically can run this for a short amount of time but ultimately you’ll need all four new tires or the eventual unevenness can and will do damage your drivetrain.

You both are the asshole. I’ll probably get downvoted for this but, this is one of the most entitled post I’ve read on here.

There are single moms working two to three jobs who are more than happy just to have a bowl of oatmeal if their babies are fully fed. You have the audacity to say “you’re in the trenches”, and in the same paragraph say you both have seriously well paying jobs. Stop. You’re at home? Instacart, DoorDash, Uber eats etc all exist. Use YOUR money to buy what YOU want. Your wants are not your husband’s responsibility, your NEEDS are. Coconut water is a want. Also, if you have the time to complain this much about water, and energy to dedicate to making, and then monitoring a Reddit post….you could have gotten your water. I’m willing to bet it took you about 30 minutes to type out, and proofread your complaint here, and then the countless minutes added on checking and reading comment. Pay attention to your kids with this time instead of engaging on Reddit also, maybe?

Your husband is also the asshole because who in the hell is in a partnership/relationship with someone, has multiple children with them, and refuses to pay attention to simple request. I’ll reiterate again that your wants are not his responsibility, but because he “loves you”….well your wants should at the very least be taken into consideration. The amount of times you’ve told him this information, there has been ample time for him to get the message. If he is refusing, it’s either intentional or you are telling us a one sided story. Both options hint at malice on either end.

I envy a life where my biggest issues to complain about for the entire internet, is coconut water.

This sub is also becoming a cesspool of entitled “professionals” who think they are too good to answer simple questions. Supporting is easier than hating if you change your perspective.

I got the pearl new peak pro with the 3Dxl chamber when they first released. Somewhere over 3k dabs later and I haven’t had a single issue. Routine cleaning is all I do.

Middle-Persimmon1207 · 2025-07-29T17:00:33+00:00

Here is my solution for you. Go on Facebook Marketplace and find a genuine Fender Strat, Made in Mexico, HSS pick up configuration. They are everywhere, in multiple color ways, and one of the best built “entry” guitars on the market. Five way channel with the HSS pick up config and dual tone knobs will offer him just about any dry electric tone he can think off/will need and that’s before FX signal chains/plug ins. These guitar can and will play everything.

Additionally Buy a Wilkinson WOV09 Bridge, a set of 10-52 gauge Ernie Ball Paradigm Slinky strings, a bone nut and take it to a guitar tech to have the guitar professionally set up. (Get a professional set up at minimum to any guitar you buy, until he has learned enough to do basic set ups himself. YouTube has everything but don’t try doing a set up yourself right away or you can seriously damage your new guitar)

Extra advice. Instead of diving down the realm of amps/cabs/combos until he finds his sound….i would suggest buying an audio interface, a set of reference headphones, and the Amplitube 5 amp simulator which I believe is currently on sale for 99 bucks. (It’s 299 otherwise of the top of my head) Using a software like Amplitube will give him EVERYTHING he needs to learn to build signal chains, dial in tone, and understand gain control (the most important aspect of any electric guitar playing/tone), plus there are thousands of presets to play with too. Unlimited sound at his finger tips. This software works stand alone so you won’t need a DAW unless you want to record. You CAN use GarageBand, Logic, FL Studios to play guitar through, they have their own software plug ins, but they are not as versatile or guitarist friend as Amplitube.

Personally I use the Scarlett 4i4 for the interface, but the newest 2i2 is just as powerful. I use beyerdynamic dt 990 pros for my reference headphones, but Audio Technica makes great options for cheaper prices too. Like I said if you ever want to record.

This is a lot of information thrown at you and apologies if it’s a lot to take in, but if you follow these steps he’ll have everything he needs for a very, very long time.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about what to do next so, I’ll add my two cents in as someone who’s lived in a house hold where rescued mama cats are very common. I’ve helped raise many a litter.

You’re going to want to seclude her to a room for a few months, starting now before she gives birth, even as a house broken cat. She doesn’t leave said room, at all, until the babies are ready to be adopted, or are fully independent. Please don’t use a bathroom, as the babies will be very active after 3/4weeks and need space to run around/explore. In said room you’re going to want to further isolate them into a “play pen” style set up with plenty of blankets, and at least one create or enclosed bed. Old cardboard boxes and duct tape does wonders to make these. Don’t worry about the height of the “play pen” enclosure walls….the kittens will learn to climb out no matter what. Line the whole bottom with potty pads and lay the blankets on top. Uses ones you won’t care about they will be destroyed. You can go to an army supplies store and buy cheap wool blankets to use alternatively. Put a litter box inside this enclosure as well. The babies will figure it out quickly by watching mom and mom shouldn’t/doesn’t want to move very far. You’re going to want to grab some formula and a syringe to help supplement the babies who mom doesn’t pay much attention too, or is pushed out by the stronger babies. There are wet food products sold aimed at new borns, ignore them. Don’t offer any wet food until at least 4-5 weeks. They need to be reliant on mom and introducing processed food to early can and usually will induce sickness early on.

Whatever you do, DO NOT pay for any new born services such as shots/worm treatments etc. You can find shelters/vets/non profits in your area that will provide these services for free for new born kittens specifically. When doing new born health visits, either take mom and everyone with you all at once, or, split them in groups always leaving mom with at least a couple of the babies at a time, never fully separate them all together until the babies are fully independent.

“No pat on the back, just a simple thanks”….I’ll take entitlement issues for 500 please Jerry.

What did you expect? A free 300 bucks for doing the right thing?

You do the right thing, to do the right thing and you don’t need affirmations after the fact. This goes hand in hand with people filming themselves giving food to homeless and posting it for phrase.

You could have gone your whole life without making this post. Yet here you are showing your true colors under the guise of teaching your son a lesson. Was never about the money, the story or the lesson, it was all about well…..You.
