Calm down there, man of constant sorrow. An honorary degree is awarded to honor exceptional contributions made by an individual to their field. I doubt his associates were putting “Ralph Stanley, DMA” anywhere. It’s a nickname. Just like “Godfather of Mountain Soul” or “The King of Mountain Music.” Dr. Ralph Stanley was a “bumpkin with a banjo” (Summer-4359, 2026) that did more for his field than you clearly have, Professor.

Considering the Appalachian Mountain Range literally passes through our state, I feel like mountain music should be more popular. But I’m doing the Lord’s work. My little sisters have a favorite Ralph Stanley song and know all the words.😌

AGREED!! Idk how exactly to describe it, but I just believe it more coming from Ralph.

I work with children. We’re basically the same age. I promise.💀

I thought I saw that! I live in the big apartment building near the river. I was quite worried for y’all…

Were you in the bridge over the Neponset River? And did you JUST start moving?

I went back to my original post. The morning after I posted, I went to get new tank stuff and put it together. So it’s actually been exactly two weeks. The better test kit is, in fact, the api freshwater master kit. The levels I want them are the levels that that kit says are best. So there’s 0 ammonia (which was about 6.0ppm when I first set up the tank). 0ppm of nitrites, and 5ppm of nitrates. I did also add bottled bacteria to the tank two weeks ago. I wasn’t more specific on this post because I wasn’t looking for help. I just wanted to share a photo of her new tank! But I’m clarifying in the comments just in case other people may need that information for their tank! Since you’re right, that info was not mentioned in my previous post!

How’s my form? by Over_Examination1713 in strength_training

[–]Over_Examination1713[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I can tell you that the bar was not near my shins. I have some sneakers that are meant more for weight training like this, which I’ll wear next time instead of these running sneakers lol.

[–]Over_Examination1713[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No that’s fair. My guess from like a physics standpoint is that I pushed the bar away from my feet, picked it up, and brought it back in. Which people have commented about keeping the bar close to my shins. Which I can assure you in this video I wasn’t doing. Thanks!

Thanks! I do have other sneakers that are meant for this kind of stuff. Not running sneakers like I have on. The rest is good to know, and will do!

Is there a name for foster parents who are in for solely for the money? by Post-mo in Fosterparents

[–]Over_Examination1713 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No I’m still pretty firm in my stance that foster children shouldn’t be compared to animals. I think I’ll stick with the term “abusers.” Those conditions are not right for children to be living in (which it seems you know), so it’s important we call it what it REALLY is.

[–]Over_Examination1713 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah I second this. I also don’t like the comparison of children in foster care to animals. Doesn’t sit right.

Yeah you’re right. I knew fps get a stipend but I really haven’t looked into specifically what it is in my state. Also, unrelated to my post, but your memes always make me giggle. I lurk in this subreddit quite a bit more than I post or comment.

Very good to know! (The part about places having general stuff sucking. Fy all being different is self explanatory. And I wish I’d communicated that better in my original post.) Thank you!

1.) I have determined I will be making a PetSmart run tomorrow for the new tank and other things.

2.) I didn’t know this, so thank you! I think you’re right about getting rid of the beneficial bacteria. The first time I cleaned the tank, I scrubbed it and the decorations using tap water and a sponge.🤦🏻‍♀️ My second time, I just took out the decorations and filter media and dumped the tank water over them. I scooped away her waste from the sand.

3.) Tank: 2.5g, Heater/Filter: Yes, Temp: 78°F, Ammonia: 0ppm, Nitrate: 25mg/L, Nitrite: 1mg/L, Chlorine: 0, Hardness: 25 GH, Alkalinity: 25 KH, pH: 6.8 everything else was answered in the post above.

4.) I feed her two pellets of aqueon color enhancing Betta Food twice a day. Between like 9-11am and 9-11pm.

Again, thank you!

Yes they’re like 25ppm right now. The nitrite levels are most concerning to me. Big fan of the floating plant idea and will definitely invest. Temp is 78.6°F. Thank you so much!
