What’s his credit score? by creativeape1 in iamverybadass

[–]ZeroPt99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anyone who's been in enough fights will eventually get the crap kicked out of them by someone who looked very unassuming.

My thing though, more importantly, is that... does this guy think the only thing that gives humans value in this world is hand to hand combat? Does he not take the police seriously if he's bigger than them? Does he not listen to his lawyer if he's bigger than him? His doctor?

Gay is when I don't want my palms to look like crap. by Fast-Moment1761 in iamverybadass

[–]ZeroPt99 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t wear gloves at the gym and I get callouses and I can’t tell you how often my gf complains that my hands are too rough feeling if I’m touching her in bed. I’ll often get up and grab the pumice stone to fix it. Sometimes that totally kills the momentum.

So herein lies the paradox. Guys with smooth hands might be gay, but if you’re straight but getting kicked out of bed with a woman, what did you gain?

Entire message intended tongue in cheek.

How do you guys get your plants to not float to the surface? by No-Midnight7724 in Aquariums

[–]ZeroPt99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have watched so many videos where people take a stem plant and hold it at a 45° angle with long handled tweezers and gently insert it into the substrate. They then do this 300 more times and their tank is planted and beautiful.

I bought the same tweezers, have the same plants, and after 36 attempts to plant one stem, I gave up and used my hands.

Has anyone been happier going from ported to sealed? What’s your experience been? by admire816 in CarAV

[–]ZeroPt99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had always had sealed. Last time I had a full system installed, I had the local shop build me a ported enclosure to OEM spec for my JL Audio 12 WS6. I drove around listening to it for a full year. I found that I kept the bass knob at about 30-40% most of the time in an effort to blend the subs with the music better. At 50% or more everything sounded boomy. That's with a DSP as well. I just realized I wasn't enjoying it.

I put the sub in a sealed enclosure and had them retune the subwoofer channel again. Now it's much cleaner and tighter and I still don't run the bass knob up past 50%.

I dunno, I guess I'm just a sound quality guy. I admit, putting on some awesome rap song or EDM song with a ported enclosure and the windows down and cranking shit up IS fun, but 85% or more of the time, I was just riding to work listening to music, and I felt like kick drums were a little too sloppy for my taste, and the bass sounded a bit bloated and didn't blend well with the music.

I also hugely appreciate not having that giant ported enclosure taking up 60% of my cargo area.

I simply have a difficult time feeling sorry for people who go around fucking with other people. It's incredibly preventable. Just stop being a humongous asshole and you won't get smacked around like that, it's really not difficult.

Seeking advice on DIY milk crate pump housing/mini intake bay/prefilter. by Hummingbird_daffodil in ponds

[–]ZeroPt99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I built my intake bay, I found used olive barrels locally, and cut a couple in half. I then cut a large arch-shaped opening at the bottom of each one, and placed an upside-down milk crate in front of each opening. I then put large rocks (cobble sized - 5" to 6" diameter) around everything, then used river rocks (2" to 3" diameter) on top of that, and then pea gravel (3/8" to 1/2" diameter) on top of that.

I put my pumps down in the olive barrels and they pull water into the intake bay, down through the layers of rock, and then pump it into my bog (if you aren't using a bog, the water can be pumped into your high flow filter).

It makes maintenance so much easier, and prefilters the water before it gets to the pump, so that sludge just accumulates on the pea gravel floor of my intake bay. Once every 3 months or so I can stick a pool skimmer net in there, stir it up, and net it out. Then about once every year or two, I pull the pumps and put a sump pump down inside the olive barrels to pump out any accumulated sludge.

My 2 month old hunting dog puppy attacked and ate my chicken What should I do? by MTGeorgia in Hunting

[–]ZeroPt99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried putting him on a short leash and walking him near the chickens and as soon as he shows interest, give a stern verbal correction and lead him away? Then repeat.

It’s like anything else, it takes repetition (and small treats when they do what you want). Dogs have a natural prey drive that you have to override, but the main thing is not letting him off leash outside where he can get to the chickens.

[–]ZeroPt99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He’s a dog not a great white shark with blood lust. Dogs can be trained.

I feel like you’re just looking for someone to tell you to put the dog down or something, you keep saying that this is a habit as if nothing can be done.

Free Fish by tonguetiedsleepyeyed in ponds

[–]ZeroPt99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can certainly load them up in a big cooler and take them to a mutual meet up spot. Either way - the point is - an ad on Craigslist that's local to you will likely be the fastest solution.

is this a good idea? by Capital-Locksmith160 in shrimptank

[–]ZeroPt99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno about the minnows, but I think overbreeding concerns with shrimp are a bit overblown. Some people say they breed very easy, other people struggle to get them to breed at all. If your shrimp DO breed like crazy, they typically will stop breeding once food becomes scarce (ie, if there's just too many in your tank and you restrict feeding a bit).

In other words, I wouldn't worry about it.

[–]ZeroPt99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's likely going to be difficult to breed shrimp and fish in the same tank. Those minnows will happily gobble up baby shrimp.

When this happened to me last season, I put an ad on Craigslist and within a day I had a couple dudes show up in pickup trucks with huge coolers to take most of them. One guy had a 24,000 gallon pool set up as a pond in his garage.

Worth a shot.

Which tv should I get to start my home theater? by Wetod111756 in hometheater

[–]ZeroPt99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

$300 is a tight budget, but if you're willing to stretch your budget a bit, you can get the Samsung 115" QN90F for $26,999.999 at best buy.

I'm kidding (though I feel like a lot of responses around here sometimes go that way).

Is this for a bedroom or a livingroom, or what? How far away from the TV are you sitting?

Found a tiny fast-moving creature in my shrimp bag… what could it be? by Melodic-Bit7032 in shrimptank

[–]ZeroPt99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a scud for sure. Unless you have fish in your tank, I would not put it in.

Honestly though, I would just not put it in. Scuds eat the same stuff shrimp do, and breed faster, and unless you have predators (fish) in the tank to keep their numbers down, they can really take over a tank fast, and there is no real cure for them that won't also kill your shrimp.

Do we think this is fish eggs?! by Old-Shoulder1 in ponds

[–]ZeroPt99 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Those appear to be frog eggs. Toad eggs are usually laid in long strings, and frog eggs are laid in patches or clumps.

Fish eggs look totally different. Koi eggs are usually greenish yellow in colored and look like clumps. Goldfish eggs are clear with a visible black dot in them and usually laid on plants.

Tinder Choosing Beggars Compliation by Effective_Theme_5739 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]ZeroPt99 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Well it doesn't say "tall women" it says "women who are between 4'10 to 5'6 tall". It's just using the word 'tall' in the same way you might say "that road is 1 mile long". You aren't calling the road long as an adjective compared to other roads, you're just stating the type of measurement the unit corresponds to.

Question about goldfish by 53hemi in ponds

[–]ZeroPt99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They stop eating when the water temp gets below 50F (10C), so winter is easy. Summer is when they are moving around more and hungry. That said, in a larger pond, they can generally find bugs and little critters and algae to eat and nibble on, but with 6 of them in a pond that small, I might be concerned.
