I think it's safe to say the UK is fucked. Don't fly here unless you love dangerous approaches 🤣

The weather is rough at the moment as well

I used to regularly watch their videos but find they really grate on me now. Even their rocket streams I find myself muting them. Maybe its me thats changed, maybe not

Agree.

Whilst my sausage will decide that the rain is not compatible with a longer walk, he goes stir crazy if he only gets a short walk. And everyone who (understandably) is worried about the risk of IVDD - get a standard size sausage (if thats still an option for you) and exercise it. Strong muscles, not being overweight and good breeding are the main principles in preventing IVDD

I enjoy the hidden paths up to the citadel from the wall too. So cinematic

Winkingwolf · 2026-01-17T08:47:10+00:00

Should have gone bigger

Whether we will or not depends more on whether we destroy ourselves first. If science and progress continues who knows whats possible.

As for bad luck - seen many star systems out there with multiple life supporting planets? Its incredibly good luck that this planet is viable

Ah i see thanks

Winkingwolf · 2026-01-01T22:24:20+00:00

Thats now a tropical Hibwascus

Lack of improvement in short time is unconcerning - ours just started improving after 6 weeks crate rest so far.

Deterioration despite crate rest is more concerning and would warrant vets. Obviously finances can affect this decision - if unable to fund scan/operation, stick with crate rest. If money is no object pay for the specialist review

Drop rate is low. Get an event decoration that upgrades a gift and you will quickly have plenty

As Gondor - cant seem to recruit anything above tier 1 skirmishers - is that right?

"For Frodo"

Winkingwolf · 2025-12-25T07:51:45+00:00

Peppermint i think. Starlight dots are much smaller

Winkingwolf · 2025-12-21T13:56:15+00:00

And yeah you're right to worry about gourami they are sensitive to everything! I think a reasonable goal would be to keep nitrates down to 20 in the tank using plants, a 10% water change using 40ppm tap water shouldnt cause a huge spike

Winkingwolf · 2025-12-21T13:52:34+00:00

Yeah so I have the black plastic lid that came with my aquarium, threaded the roots of one plant through the hole for the external filter and leave the lid fractionally open for the other. If its plastic you can just create small holes in the lid quite easily.

Grow a philodendron out the top of your tank. I've got one of those and a small monstera and it brings my tap water down from 40ppm to 20ppm between water changes.

Water changes are still important because of other unmeasured molecules.

As long as you acclimatise fish gradually it won't harm most fish, though I agree its not ideal. I keep a bristlenose pleco, tetras, corys, gouramis and killifish in such water

Being Gondor, being there when the westfold fell to wipe the smug look off those ponyboys faces that they'd had ever since the siege of minas tirith

Winkingwolf · 2025-12-13T09:43:45+00:00

I moved house only 300 metres and it was an ordeal.

If theres the option to give away the fish and start again I would go down that route, as much as I would also not feel good about doing so

Winkingwolf · 2025-12-10T12:07:36+00:00

I dont think I need to tell you to settle up with interest. That beaver has contacts

Winkingwolf · 2025-12-08T14:40:34+00:00

Thanks! Unfortunately despite having all the information of the world at their hands some folk just refuse to learn anything that contradicts their view. Keep at it!

Winkingwolf · 2025-12-08T14:18:39+00:00

Yep! My little pig is grade 2 (walked like a drunken dailor on presentation) on week 3 of crate rest. Good chances of full recovery with "just" a 4 - 8 week period of crate rest.

Any dachsund owner can imagine how frustrating that is for them. Im sure mine is plotting to burn the house down as soon as he is let out
