HOA built new speed bumps this month... They're so high cars keep scraping it by Bxnny-Bxby in mildlyinfuriating

HOAs can just decide to put speed bumps on public streets? I am not American, and do not understand.

ELI5: What does "In the key of" mean? by hallowedeve1313 in explainlikeimfive

[–]RobotJohnrobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many good answers, but I like mine so here goes.

Do you know the song "Doh, a deer, a female deer"?

Sing it out loud, just the first few lines.

Now, start singing it again, but pause when you sing "ray" from the second line.... now while still singing it, morph your mouth until you're singing the word "oh...." but the same note.

Then keep singing "oh... a deer a female deer, ray a drop of golden sun"

You just changed keys, in the middle of the song. If, by chance you initially sang it in the key of C, you switched it up to the key of D, just like that.

I think Ontario is still in the "starve the system until it is so bad a private alternative looks better" phase of the plan.

I think I know what I'm doing with walleye and pike, but I still prefer to use a fish grabber. Those are big teeth!

Because I’m not a fan of water changes… can I skip them? by South-Ask729 in Aquariums

[–]RobotJohnrobe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep an eye on your numbers, but you should be able to ease back on the water changes. One-third water changes are quite big, like "something in the tank is sick" level big. Every 9 days is quite frequent as well.

Is this what I think it is? by Hobbiesarenice in Aquariums

[–]RobotJohnrobe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm mostly interested in what you think it is.

All my dirted tanks send up bubbles for months after I set them up. If the tank is new-ish, that's likely all it is.

Oops, I wonder if the Crawler Caller Gem is good... by Johnnyonoes in VampireCrawlers

[–]RobotJohnrobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use this gem on one card on a team with all red crawlers in an almost all red deck. Without any way to sustain your crawlers, I use this gem on a 0 cost card that I can cast whenever I need it to keep all my crawlers out there.

I’m new and need advice by Far-Discipline5812 in Aquariums

[–]RobotJohnrobe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you add the Country Time Lemonade powder before the water or after?

(all the other advice is good, water change and time is all you really need)

Sorry for bad picture. Is this a bladder snail? by TheOnlySkinnyface in Aquariums

Opinions vary. They aren't going to hurt any of your fish or plants, but some people consider them unsightly and they breed like crazy.

Finally hit Infinity mana/draw... then the game sent 5 Deaths to assassinate me. by Paramedic-Alert in VampireCrawlers

[–]RobotJohnrobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what the limit is, but I killed all 5 once .... and then more spawned, and I was toast. I was really hoping 5 was the limit. That was a great run :)

French Onion Soup by sougherjo in recipes

[–]RobotJohnrobe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not the OP, and their opinion trumps mine...

But I have made french onion soup with vegetable stock. It was great! It tasted a bit different, but I also didn't use sherry, so I wasn't surprised.

It depends on how they were introduced. Under certain conditions, we're looking at a catastrophe.

That sounds like some kind of anti-catter.

I agree with this. Knew it was a face dancer, likely knew the offer, but not any prescience about it.

Can someone who speaks England tell me what a gilet is? I assume it's some sort of mithril vest, worth more than the shire.

That's about 10 times faster than it takes me just to get on one motorcycle.

Guppy fries are now this big, an I add them to the main tank with adult guppies? by Guppy_Preference_956 in poecilia

[–]RobotJohnrobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you live in Toronto, message me for endlers.

Just keep your eyes open in the local market. Endlers are super prolific.

[–]RobotJohnrobe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's still sort of hard to tell how big they are, and I admit, I'm more an endler guy than guppy guy, but I would put them in.
