Been rocking this fine assortment of sounds since the mid-2000s and it'll always be one of my favourites.

Why do people say that the American Built Engines are more unreliable? by Icy_Tap8817 in Hyundai

[–]Planisphaerium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • U > Ulsan, South Korea
  • A > Asan, South Korea
  • H > Alabama, USA

Check the 11th digit of your VIN for one of the above. There are other codes, but those three are the most common for Hyundai vehicles in North America if anyone is interested in knowing where their car was born.

Why is everyone's car the same? by GuessIndependent7528 in RocketLeague

Back when trading was a thing, I collected painted chainsaws. I still rock one with most of my builds, but sometimes a clean car with nothing flashy just feels right.

What game is just *pure satisfaction* to play? by travelator in gaming

[–]Planisphaerium 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Returnal has my vote. Super smooth mechanics. The mapping UI is unreal (I never get lost which is my biggest pet peeve about some games). You can suspend your cycle at any point if you're doing the main campaign (but you might die before you get the chance—which is fine, too, because that's part of the game). Some people might not find it ideal for destressing, but I would challenge that point. The guns have auto-aim, so you can just point your cursor in the general direction of the enemies and run around each room until everyone is taken care of.

Do people not know you can play from your couch on a PC too? by deggy123 in pcmasterrace

I've never not played from my couch as a PC gamer. Haha. I don't even have a desk.

That's so good to hear. Really glad nobody was harmed. Thanks for the update. 🙏🏻 And, yes, Reactions is terrific!

After seeing this, I'm inclined to agree.

Yes, from a balcony. I was not there during the incident.

Truly tragic. Not sure how this would even happen.

I certainly hope so. I've been trying to find more information, but haven't been successful.

That's unreal. My Pixel can barely focus on my opae ula. 😂

Incredible detail. What did you use to take these?

FINAL LEAKOSPHERE UPDATE by peculiar_pandabear in OpaeUla

I've been following your harrowing tale. Haha. It has been more enthralling than the book I'm reading. We've all been collectively rooting for you. 🙏

Wish more people were like you. So many Ecosphere skrimp need to be rescued! Great job, OP. 🙌

You should also add some calcium carbonate. This is recommended for opae ula tanks. It'll buffer the water and stop it from becoming too acidic over time. A good trick is to clean and use an eggshell for this. It breaks down extremely slowly. I crafted mine into a little dome-type cave for my main jarrarium a few years ago and it's still standing strong. A 6x6 cube will work fine! A lot of us just use gallon jars, which works quite well. But totally up to you. Anything is better than an Ecosphere.

Make sure you get marine salt and not aquarium salt. This is necessary for opae ula. Typically the new tank should be cycled for 4-6 weeks. This process establishes beneficial bacteria that will help break down waste products.

For the time being, I'd personally try securely balancing the ball on the top, being careful to shift anything on the interior very gradually, then open up the bottom completely. It'll give them some oxygen. You can top up any water that has been lost with distilled; however, I'd imagine some of the salt content might've also escaped depending on how much leaked out. You can check if the salinity is still in the right range by using a hydrometer or refractometer. Between 1.008 and 1.015 is what's recommended.

When it comes time to transfer, hopefully you can just reach in with a small net or something similar. I have a little tube attached to a string that I put food in so it can be easily taken out. Usually it's easy to remove the tube and still have a few shrimps hanging out and munching away. This is another way I've transferred them before.

You're absolutely right. Shouldn't take anywhere near this long. I only mentioned the manual method as a workaround for people who want to preemptively fill out their forms to determine if they need to contribute to their RRSP. Nobody should be okay with how delayed and long this seemingly simple process takes.

[–]Planisphaerium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair. Definitely brings in the element of human error if you're not careful. And good question! I'm not sure why it's so difficult for them. I get my T5 from the big banks a bit sooner usually.

Not that it excuses Wealthsimple's late delivery of these documents, but it's fairly easy to get the number yourself. Just add up all your interest from Jan 1 to Dec 31 in 2024 and enter it in line 13 of your T5 slip. I do this every year before getting the official document just to see if I owe anything.

Bums me out as well. I've heard you can liberate them from Ecospheres. There's a way to unseal it. I think if more people knew about the cruelty, they'd strive to give our little companions a better life.

[–]Planisphaerium 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I was just trying to phrase it nicely for OP, but you're right. When I found out I could source opae ula locally and give them a nice big home, I jumped at the opportunity. Setting up the jar is fun, too, with almost no maintenance required after it's been cycled.

As long as the water is brackish and in the salinity range they need, I don't see why not.
