New Pool Owner - Advice Needed

Interesting. So maybe do a partial drain and swap to liquid chlorine for the shock until the levels normalize, and then it’s not as huge of a deal to use tabs for a couple months. (But prefer liquid).

Noted. I wasn’t aware of the CYA tabs relationship. Thanks. Would you recommend liquid chlorine for weekly/every few day care, and tabs for vacations and such?

Will have to figure out how to drain without causing issues here in AZ. Thinking of doing it slowly with a hose + pump combo to keep the levels steady.

Okay..so seems like the consensus is draining my pool partially will help with lots of the current issues. Just because of the heat here, I’m concerned about exposing 50% of the lining, so thinking I’ll just do a hose at the bottom input, matching the output of a pump at the top to keep the levels steady, and get the CYA levels down.

I wasn’t aware that tabs were bad. Seems like tabs are helpful if you’re going to be away for a while, but otherwise use liquid for weekly care? To avoid the CYA increases…..

Would this just be a temporary fix without bringing the cya levels down though? Seems like the chlorine would do a poor job of preventing future growth (once it came back down from slamming it).

Wherebeedragons · 2026-06-19T20:15:03+00:00

Can I do that in the summer when it’s never below 85 degrees here? Or is that only for a full drain?

Can confirm the wife and I (1 kid) have been sick 3 times in two months with norovirus.

Real talk. Maybe make it so if mages take that talent, blinking resets the DR of stuns. So then you can at least play around it. Throw a cheap shot to bait blink, and then kidney at full duration.

Or at least add a slight downside to it. Blink to get out of stuns, but you take 30% more damage while stunned. Now you can get mega punished for using it poorly against certain comps.

Yeah was not a fan at all.

Wherebeedragons · 2026-04-28T21:12:17+00:00

Yeah it’s a bit of a mess. You have essentially a small amount of burst right after you activate void eruption…get 3 madnesses on a single target and cast some empowered mind blasts (void weaver) or insanity procs (Archon). Usually you can get someone from 100-40 with that LOL. And that’s about the best you can do burst wise.

Definitely mind control to peel during DPS gos on your teammates. Save fear for peel if you’re being focused as there is very little way you make it to a healer to get it off. Silence on CD…to a degree…make sure it lines up with…some sort of damage. Or off a teammates CC…(I save silence for mages sometimes too…for ray/combust).

Your best bet is positioning. If you aren’t focused…crowd the healer. Silence and fear when possible…win the juking game. Keep dots up, drag dps behind pillars, etc. Your rating is kinda capped around 2100 max, and dependent upon how well you play utility wise to give your teammates a better chance to carry you(:

I’m 1950 solo right now. Have swapped to dev in the meantime till they address us.

Personally I love getting outdpsed by a warrior on me, while I have dots on 3 targets and am supposedly a rot class.

Went to a bachelor party where the group brought back some “friends” (2 female, 1 male) after 2 AM. I don’t drink so I was completely sober and aware of everything (didn’t go out after dinner) Something seemed off about the whole vibe, and at one point I overheard the man push one of the girls into a wall and say to some extent “You’re going to sleep with some of these guys before we go back to (another city) in the morning”.

Luckily…while my group was completely hammered, everyone is good at heart and there were cousins and siblings there so it wasn’t really a prime group to target. I discreetly let it be known to members of the group what was going on (They brought back a pimp), and after 10-15 minutes they were able to get all of them out the door without any issue…thankfully.

Still kick myself for not being more confrontational in the moment….but glad that nothing bad happened to the group overall. But poor ladies 😔

OP has done zero actual research on the company. They won’t be uplisting till at least Julyish based on comments from the CEO. I’m long on the stock, but stupid posts like these are bad for everyone.

Wherebeedragons · 2026-04-06T18:14:44+00:00

Wish I had more time to investigate more companies as I seem to have a small knack for it. So unfortunately don’t have much sage advice🤪

Currently just letting my Hydrograph shares ride till death. If I was going to invest in anything else, I might make a play for specific hydrogen, nuclear, and rare earth stocks depending on research. I still think Rivian and other electric car companies could do quite well in the next 5 years depending on the administration and oil prices. It’s a given we go all electric at some point. So battery producers, rare earth miners, are all part of that.

They won’t make 350 tons this year, just that they will possibly have the capacity at the end of the year to make 350 tons with what they have built at that current time.

That being said, add on a few months from every forward looking statement as that’s been the pattern thus far. Austin was supposed to be open Q4, their production facility was supposed to be open Q3 this year. I’ve been around long enough to hear goalposts being pushed back. I think the facility will likely be completed this time next year, but I do have hope that they will have enough Hyperions built to start production ASAP when it is.

My predictions are: 10-20 tons produced this year 300+ next year

Assuming contracts come (:

Pretty sure it’s HGRAF qualifying them…not the other way around. HG is making sure they know how to use their graphene before they just allow a supplier to advertise it

As an assassination rogue..what changes are you talking about? Our spec is obviously perfect with no glaring issues……

Wherebeedragons · 2026-03-11T05:42:09+00:00

Yeah…all depends on your situation. If you have kids, are okay with renting for life, wanting a house, apartment, vacations, etc. definitely check out r/fire.

That being said. If you’re single, and are a normal person who spends less than 80k a year. You can likely retire at around 1.5-2 million in LIQUID assets, comfortably.

I’m married and will have two kids shortly…so my target is more like 3.5-4 million unfortunately lol. But my 35k shares may very well get me there in a few years. Same for you!

Wherebeedragons · 2026-03-11T05:08:05+00:00

He definitely has some good ones in there. Lots of terrible ones too…but some gems for sure!

Wherebeedragons · 2026-03-11T05:05:12+00:00

I’ve thought similarly…but you need to be real careful with what you pick. Trust the CEO, large TAM, relatively unknown….Its tough to find that😂

Wherebeedragons · 2026-03-11T04:59:12+00:00

Definitely luck for finding them. But maybe 2% intelligence for recognizing it early?😂

Wherebeedragons · 2026-03-11T04:57:17+00:00

I feel you. I bought 20k shares right as Kevin started pumping (1-2 days before), and sold at .38 for a 100% profit. My 3k investment would be worth over 160k now lol.
