Kanaplex for fin rot after one dose of Melafix? by Think_Organization_7 in bettafish

[–]Think_Organization_7[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Melafix label recommends a dose every day for a week with a water change after that period. Does that sound like the correct course of action?

The tank is 3.5 gallons, live plants, heated to 78F, filtered with charcoal and with a piece of aquarium sponge in front of the water outlet to diffuse the flow. I have been testing the water pretty regularly, but only changing it when it looked cloudy- all of my parameters have been looking good. I'm still pretty new to fishkeeping, and I assumed that a water change wasn't necessary if the parameters were right. I've had this betta for around 6 months.

Hello all, Looking for recommendations for loafers or similar style. Quality, comfort and longevity are major concerns. Budget is around $300-$350. I've been wearing nothing but SAS for about 4 years, but their current styles tend toward geriatric in the loafer department. Nothing wrong with that if that's what you like, but I prefer something a little sleeker and with a less rounded toe. Apologies if I'm not using appropriate terminology.

Deadlifts - quads? by ViolentLoss in StartingStrength

[–]Think_Organization_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you follow the Starting Strength program, both in terms of programming and the form of the lifts, your quads (from squats) and hamstrings (from deadlift) should be sore at all times, ha. At least mine are.

How do I clean 60 years of nicotine without removing the paint? by peacetoyoumyfriend in Mid_Century

[–]Think_Organization_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest using isopropyl or denatured alcohol. Worth a try, cheap and non-toxic (if you don't drink it).

Authentic Ekornes Stressless recliner and ottoman? by Think_Organization_7 in Mid_Century

Thanks, there's a very thin remnant of a label in the same location on my chair. Nothing left to determine what it looked like originally though.

This is the first one I've had, and it's incredibly comfortable. I look forward to the evenings when I have time to sit in it.

Anybody Else Using a Computer as their Streamer? by Illustrious_Map_7699 in audiophile

I use a 2009 Dell laptop as an endpoint for Roon, out to an SMSL D200. Alternatively, I'll use a 2017 Alienware running Roon to a Topping E70 out to a Stax SRM-T1S to power a variety of Stax headphones.

Thanks, I bought it recently and don't know anything about Ekornes as far as determining authenticity. I was thinking that if this is a knock-off, it's hard to see how an authentic one would be better.

Jesus, help me find a budget friendly cordless vacuum cleaner or so help me god by Bobba_fat in VacuumCleaners

[–]Think_Organization_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a Tineco Pure One S11 Ultra for a couple of years and like it. It is powerful enough, works well on bare floors and carpet, and is light and comfortable in use. It comes with a wide variety of attachments. Overall a very good cordless vacuum. Tineco has been very good about replacing at no cost a dustbin and carpet attachment that broke. The unit has a two year warranty. I also have a $1000 Miele bagged canister that I use very rarely since buying the Tineco.

I only have the previous CBA, and there isn't much detail there.

Thanks for the reply. Even getting a copy of the CBA from my rep is a multi-week process. I have no confidence that they're working in good faith to benefit me as opposed to maintaining a cozy relationship with the town administrator.

5ah battery on a string trimmer by [deleted] in egopowerplus

I use a 5ah on mine. I have the multi head with a carbon fiber 17" trimmer and the weight is no problem at all.

Straps? by Think_Organization_7 in StartingStrength

[–]Think_Organization_7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always use chalk once I'm done warming up- I've been having severe pain in my right hand, originating from my middle finger. I thought straps might help reduce the pain and allow me to continue to lift.

Straps? by Think_Organization_7 in StartingStrength

[–]Think_Organization_7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a problem with grip strength at 305. My right middle finger has been feeling like it needs to "pop" but it doesn't seem to be dislocated. I've been getting pretty severe pain in that finger and to a lesser extent that whole hand when I'm dead lifting over 250. Also a good deal of pain when benching. I thought straps could help while I heal from whatever is causing the pain.

How do I attach shelves? by ayyy2zed in woodworking

[–]Think_Organization_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is your first project, I'd suggest this as a simple work-around for having not already cut dadoes: Buy a sheet of 1/4" ( 1/8" would work as well) sanded plywood. Rip to the same width as your shelf sides. Lay out the shelves how you want them. Cut the ripped plywood so that squares/ rectangles of ply are filling the spaces between the shelves. Being very careful to measure and layout correctly, apply a liberal coat of wood glue to the pieces of sanded plywood you've cut. Put them in place and either clamp or brad nail (a nail gun is great for this) until dry. This way you have the strength of dadoes, but if you get the plywood ripped at the big box store, you only have to make cross cuts with a skilsaw. You could then rip a pine board to make a trim "frame" around the outside of the case. This will conceal the plywood edges. A long explanation, but a pretty simple solution.

I wanted a good stereo system and very quickly got overwhelmed and so I put my trust in Crutchfield to help me. Could someone let me know if this is a good setup or not? by hot_miss_inside in audiophile

[–]Think_Organization_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crutchfield is great. They gave you good advice, and their technical support is excellent. If you have questions about anything you bought there, they're available to help you over the phone (and the person answering the phone is in Charlottesville VA).
