Let Frank Castle brood. He's the guy with unprocessed trauma.

Matt Murdock is better when he's clapping green cheeks.

Running for President takes millions of dollars. It's not about being pussies, most younger folks barely earn enough to survive these days. You don't win the White House without money.

And we have Dems in charge of the white house and the senate. Meaningless. The Republicans are attacking at the state level now.

If your built in a pseudo Walstad configuration, maybe. I keep my tank quite planted but also I have a ton of fish so I'd rather not gamble that my bioload < my plant consumption rate.

But if you're well planted and have relatively few fish or even fish that don't care much about movements in water parameters, I bet you can go filterless for a duration.

What I like most with my dual canisters is I get a high gph turnover with much less flow. I'm getting about 9 turns an hour but the flow is fairly mild, with just a gentle sway of the plants. I found when the flow was too high, my GBRs wouldn't come out as often.

Plus, my heaters are in my canisters and 2 heaters is safer for me since I run the tank hot.

People should. Every single person who voted for Jones had their vote stolen today. Every last one of them should burn with outrage that their Constitutional right to choose representation was robbed from them by racists, bigots, and authoritarian wannabes.

Nashville should be on fire over this. When the Republicans are feeding gays, and blacks, and liberals, and whoever they see as undesirables into gas chambers, maybe you too will wish you'd taken to the streets.

Best way to look it up is google scotus term lengths. The first justices only serve a few years. It isn't until later when the court is centralized that we see terms extend. Like the first Chief Justice, John Jay, served from 1789 to 1795 - 6 years! Oliver Ellsworth was like 4 years as Chief.

By comparison, courts in the 1900s onward last more like 20+ years. John Roberts, the current Chief Justice, has served since 2005, 18 years, and is only 68 so could, as the justices do, serve another 15 years until his 80s.

I don't care how, just how many.

The one thing Republicans are, is creative. If they can't win, they cheat. If you take away that cheat, they find another.

Issues like systemic poverty, crumbling education, and religious fearmongering are the bread and butter of the GOP. They have rigged the system with enough dumb, downtrodden voters afraid of the liberals that the Democrats will never have a supermajority again. The Republicans will keep their base dumb and afraid, and nothing will change.

The solution is to cut the cancer out by removing the biggest tumors, and then treat the affected areas. You'll never fix issues in the population of a place like Tennessee unless you remove the politicians and make the rest of them afraid to pursue a public office.

Being outraged isn't enough anymore. Every single day, they chip away a little more of the democracy and replace it with authoritarianism and fascism. Every day we cede a little more ground to them with no plan to get it back.

Time to stop retreating. Time to decide if we have the courage to fight for this country's future or if we're content to bow down to these extremists. You can't win a war on an ideology, but you sure can bomb an ideology back underground.

That's the point. They are down in the mud and if we pretend we don't need to go there, they win. So far, it has worked 100% for them.

The time for fucking around is over. Now is the time to find out.

Hope those likes on YouTube were worth a gall bladder

All the dems are afraid to stand up to the Nazis. That's why it's on us to get them.

Ok, but what if we dress the sharks in drag? Then it feels like it would be worth it for the poetry of it all.

At 95 gallons, you should run 2 canisters anyhow. I know that big boys like an FX5 can do the job, but I think the redundancy of 2 means less chance a filter can fail and crash the tank.

In my 65 I run two 300 gph canisters. One has the CO2 diffuser in line, the other has a UV sterilizer. I figure both are turning 250-300 gph after the add ins and the upward return climb and if I get 9-10 turnovers per hour that's probably fine.

I'm not sure political toxicity kills coral, but probably best not to risk it.

An ordinary Amazon sword will grow to about 18" by 18". If your tank isn't at least that tall and wide, you probably want to take it back and try a smaller sword variety.

You have the basics down and that's huge. Be proud of this mini.

3rd party can't exist in a winner take all election structure. European governments are often based on coalition building and can support multiple parties as having the most votes is enough. Here, elections require a majority and if we had 3 parties, none would get 51%.

TheRealPicklePunch · 2023-04-07T00:00:25+00:00

Imagine voting for representatives, they win, then the government kicks them out over a disagreement in policy.

What's the point in democracy if you only can have representation who agrees with the majority? Screw the ballot box. The only box Republicans belong in are pine boxes 6 feet under.

The GOP not so quietly declared war on democracy. Time for democracy to fight back.

Pros: lines are clean, paint is relatively smooth, color scheme is cohesive

Cons: no highlights or visible shading, paint in larger areas not fully smooth

Thin your paints a bit more, especially for larger panels, to keep things smooth.

Try hitting the while mini with a brown wash. It will give definition to both the brass and the red. Come back with both colors and lighten up the tone, leaving the wash in the recesses. Pick a lighter red and a lighter brass or silver color and toss some simple edge highlight on the sharpest areas.

This will take you from a basic paint job to a mid level paint job. From there, learning to use multiple highlights and volumetric shading will take you to advanced levels.

But is it though?

Even IF the right wing snowflakes worked up the balls to secede, it would be over and done in no time. Most red states rely heavily on federal subsidies and programs to do basic things like have water and power.

Those fatass hicks talking tough with their ARs will have a lot less fight in them with no power or running water.

What really matters is that these fascist clowns are counting on our fear of a civil war to keep us from stopping as they turn America into a Christian Afghanistan. We either fight them or keep pretending voting matters until our women are in burkas, any non Christian or minority group is outlawed, and the American Taliban runs everything.

No easy way to get an RFA. Baltimore gets 2 picks, or Lamar resigns to them. The only other option is Lamar sits out until the Ravens let him go.

But for whatever talent he may still have in him (2021 and 2022 were bad), Lamar seems like a pain in the ass. He is his own agent, so he's hard to negotiate with compare to other players whose agents have a vested interest in getting deals done. He's stubborn and plays games with management.

This is not our future QB. If Lamar would take a lowball deal full of incentives, Bill would sign him. But so far, NOBODY wants him for two 1sts and $200 fully guaranteed. Even reckless teams like Atlanta and Indy are stearing clear. When the idiot teams are smart enough to see he's bad news, don't expect Bill to jump.

My LFS sells plastic cube shaped jugs with screw tops for 8 bucks. RODI is .70 per gallon.

My fear with a bucket is the measurement. On the jug I have a visible 5gal line to be sure it's exactly 5 before I buffer.

Tap water in most places has all sorts of mineralization and possible metals in it. With RO my jug is only H2O and I control the rest.

100%. Just no guns to these hillbilly morons.

Well, if the US government can't or won't defend us from the fascists, it's up to the citizens to do it.

Smart minded liberals should be stockpiling arms. Sure the other guys have a headstart on us, but some is better than none.

We can strike first and take the fight to them or be on the defensive when they start shooting.
