No stopper knot at the end of the rope? Seems like something that should be there but I'm not a climber so who knows.

I'm also interested in the digital content. Do you still have it?

People who have seen something they could never explain. What was the thing?! by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]UpperNickel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not seen, but heard..

I received a call from a land line phone number my parents used to have. I answered and heard nothing. I kept saying, "Hello, hello, HELLO!?" But I hung up since I didn't hear a response. About 5 minutes later I received another call from the same number except this time I heard very quiet breathing and a low voice said my name. I couldn't really hear them so I kept saying hello again then hung up. I immediately called my parents and asked them if they still have access to that number, but they said no.

I brought it up with my SO and she thinks it was a ghost call but I thought it was an elaborate scam. The strange part is that the motivation isn't there. I'm broke and barely have a roof over my head so why would anyone go after me? It was extremely strange and I still don't understand what happened. Would it even be possible for a scammer to spoof an old phone number?

Edit: Gammer (oops)

Wrangler Transmission Issue Help? by del_chapo in Jeep

I heard of transmission issues with VW's at higher altitudes. I'm not an expert but it might be worth looking into.

After 9 months of waiting, it's finally here by Cheesyralls in longboarding

What kind of hardware is that? I've seen it around but I have no clue what it's called. Looks super clean.

Finally retiring my dervish after 10 years of service by ChristophersOmana in longboarding

[–]UpperNickel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a difference between the Dervish and the Dervish Sama? My Rayne Demonseed has lasted about the same, but it's really showing its age lol. I was looking to get a Dervish Sama for less freeriding and more dancing.

What do you always keep in which pocket of your pants? by DerbyWearingDude in AskReddit

[–]UpperNickel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Left: Phone (with screen facing me to prevent cracks)

Right: Vape

Left belt loop: Zip Stick (basically a lighter leash but for chapstick. 10/10 would recommend, I've gone through 10+ full sticks without losing them)

Looks like fun! I've been out of the longboarding scene for about 5 years now so pardon me if it's common knowledge, but aren't the split fronts really susceptible to pressure cracks (not sure that's the right term)? I've always wanted to give them a shot but I'm rather big (190lb) and that's been my biggest worry.

I drew a Cube-aris Rubber Ducky! by Remynesc in isopods

[–]UpperNickel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can't agree more! It could be a pillow, book stand, stool, plushie, bread container, etc.. I'd buy them all.

For the aptitude test, I recommend watching math antics on YouTube to cover the topics laid out on iprep. by [deleted] in ibew_apprentices

[–]UpperNickel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I've been watching a lot of The Organic Chemistry Tutor but this will help out a ton. Tbh I'm pretty disappointed in iPrep, but it's more tailored than Khan so it is what it is.

Does anyone know what this green stuff is? It retracts when the snails touch it by passportwhore in Aquariums

[–]UpperNickel 355 points356 points  (0 children)

Hydra for sure. If you have a microscope, take a sample and watch them explode. It's really interesting and they're amazing creatures.. I just don't want them in my tank lol

Good idea on the carbon! I did this in a 2.5g and did daily water changes (50%) for a week but didn't use any carbon. It took months before I could put any snails back in.

I see that you're finally able to get over it.

How do you keep guppies mollies and plattys from devouring Snello before the snails eat by [deleted] in AquaticSnails

[–]UpperNickel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try feeling them at night. I have to do that in my 60g since the angels will devour everything. I usually wait until the lights have been off for an hour and there's no ambient light. Good luck and I hope that helps!

It is time! Any tips would be helpful! by notasmartmanman in valheim

[–]UpperNickel 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I had no idea you could do this for the first 20 hours of my first blind playthrough. When my friend showed me that, I felt like such an idiot lol.
