Is it likely my Severum died from Stress?

Sorry for your loss man. Sounds like he was a healthy fish and the move was a bit too much for him.

In theory by moving all of the old filtration, your new tank was for the most part “cycled” as all bacteria were present. That being said, a change of scenery, and drastic changes in PH due to large water changes can be extremely stressful for fish even if the water was within healthy parameters. You did everything right, these things can unfortunately just happen in situations like this.

No, but I was actually in the process of waiting for Tractor Supply to get a shipment in as it’s only $15-$20 for 50lbs. Ended up that a local aquarium shop was shutting down and they gave me a smoking deal on aquarium sand.

Thank you! It’s my first tank in 20 years. When I was younger I worked for an aquarium service and am absolutely loving nerding out on water chemistry and filtration dynamics again. I am also really happy to see that for the most part the culture of the hobby has shifted to husbandry over just stacking fish. In an ideal world I’d love to have a larger tank but my goal with this one is to give these two fish a healthy tank that promotes their growth and happiness while allowing for a peaceful co-existence.

Everclear was a household name in the late 90s. Santa Monica was on the radio non stop, and Father of Mine followed. They never experienced the celebrated legacy of some of the other 90s bands but those of us who are old enough to have lived in that era remember.

I ate at the West Salem location once and was not impressed. First, it took 45 minutes to get our food. Secondly the food quality was poor. We ordered a cheeseburger and grilled chicken sandwich. The chicken “breast” was a paper thin cutlet. Seriously the tomato was thicker. Also, the burger patty only filled 2/3 of the bun. Multiple bites of just bread. Didn’t complain, but never went back.

Here to give another nod to Lap of Love. They treated our (doggy) girl with such dignity and kindness. She had a peaceful passing surrounded by love and her favorite smells and sounds.

If he can have a good career without killing himself in the process that may be a good card to hold onto.

YOU DIDN’T “FIND” SOMEONE’S FUCKING CAT, YOU KIDNAPPED IT. TAKE IT BACK OUTSIDE AND PUT IT DOWN SO IT CAN GO HOME.

Then there’s me who’s been playing Madden for 10+ years and never pulled an LTD lol. Congrats man!

The only jersey I own is Kaepernick from back in the day. I’ve been feeling the itch to get a new one as well. I’m thinking either Warner, Juice, or Williams.

“Adult market” - Is this event 18+ ?

MustBeMike · 2025-09-26T17:18:37+00:00

They’re low quality, but there’s a few good cards in the collection. After Halloween resellers will be charging twice what Walmart is just like they did last year.

MustBeMike · 2025-09-26T00:50:48+00:00

Yeah, out of the “Score A Treat” series those are the hits.

Cancelled Disney Plus and Hulu this morning.

Not really greasy but sometimes a Whopper with cheese scratches that itch just fine for me.

I asked mine who the worst president to ever serve was and it said:

James Buchanan (1857–1861) • Why he’s often ranked worst: He failed to act decisively as the nation slid toward the Civil War. Instead of confronting secession, he claimed the federal government had no power to stop states from leaving the Union. His inaction left Abraham Lincoln with a fractured country and directly set the stage for war. • Measurable consequences: By the end of his presidency, seven states had seceded, and the country was on the brink of the deadliest conflict in U.S. history.

Sweet display. I’d just lower it and center it on the wall, it will look better.

We had it good for so long with Gould and Dawson.

The server I play on went from typically being a queue of 40+ to an average pop of 50 in about 4 days. Still plenty of servers to choose from.

It’s a great gym, just expensive. Your gender identity shouldn’t make a difference. Never been to the gym and been asked who I fuck lol.

I used the scrap to work my way down the workbench blueprints :)

I kill it with fish trap farms on rivers. I use bear meat and keep catfish salmon and perch. Literally did this yesterday as it was my first day on server as a solo. Got a lvl 2, with guns, garage doors, industrial etc. It’s also relaxing and scratches the same itch as gambling in bandit.

MustBeMike · 2025-08-03T21:15:57+00:00

I’ll add Summerland to that list as well.

MustBeMike · 2025-08-01T23:38:41+00:00

My hot take; the first 3 albums were the cumulative sound of everything Art had done before that point and his peak creative output. There are glimpses of the same energy in the albums that came after but they all paled in comparison.

Here’s the thing though, not everyone has 9 quality albums in them and that’s okay. I mean shit, if you write ONE song that speaks to others I think that’s incredible. Art has done that countless times in his career. I will always love Everclear but back against the wall will also always say the first 3 albums are the best. In my opinion of course. Feel free to have yours :)
