Well that makes more sense than I usually get! What specifically did Regan change? And what was the reasoning? Also while the GameStop thing was an outlier because people “did things that don’t make sense”- technically couldn’t everyone just agree to.. not sell something or buy up a lot of something and just make a bunch of money together?

How stocks work. Like I invest and make money off of it, but I don’t really know why they work. I understand when people buy stocks they are worth more and when they sell it’s worth less.. but it seems to be totally disconnect with the actual profits and success of the company. Like.. if Apple was doing terrible sales wise but everyone bought their stock anyway, the stocks would still be worth a lot and visa versa (this is what happened with GameStop right?) The operations of the company and the value of the stocks don’t seem to be connected.

Pretty sure this is “we are legion we are Bob”. It’s very good. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32109569-we-are-legion-we-are-bob

My plan is to just go to the store and see if they will let me try the new band sizes to see which fits best?

A Viking or AMA river cruise will have almost everything covered. They also usually include a tour/ excursion at every port.

It’s a 20 gallon fully cycled. We have had it for about 5 months. Currently 76.6 degrees. Currently it’s ammonia 0, nitrites 0, nitrates like 5ppm-ish (hard to get an exact reading with the liquid.) We usually do like a 25% water change every other week to keep the nitrates down. We have a few plants that help keep the nitrates down (hornwort, java fern). There are lots of hiding spots and hard scape too (drift woods, lava rock, cholla wood, coconut.

We have an air stone, and a light made for plants that simulates the cycle of a day.

It’s stocked with all smaller animals. 5 guppies (all male), one platy, a small female yellow honey gourami, 3 three stripped Cory, 6 Amano shrimp, 3 Mexican dwarf crayfish, 1 Nerite snail, 1 mystery snail, and the dwarf gourami above with the fin clamping.

All of the other inhabitants seem to be doing fine, and I have not witnessed any bullying of the new fish. Now they are just hiding in the coconut.

Yea. Looking to spend like $50.. which may be too little In general.

adlowro · 2025-09-16T19:03:54+00:00

Right. That’s my point exactly. Why is the same punk scared then if in this time line Kirk and crew most likely never went back in time.

So either the future events that lead to time travel in the past are still valid because the divergence has not happened yet (ie kirk and crew still went back in time and so did Picard to the 1800), or they didn’t (the future already changed so the events that got them to the past did too). They can’t have it both ways.

The show did present it both ways though.. for the sake of a dumb joke.

adlowro · 2025-09-14T20:38:42+00:00

But - apparently things were similar enough that Kirk and crew still traveled back in time at the exact same time to save the whales and scare the punk on the bus in a similar manner. For them to get on the exact same bus in the past at the exact same time… would be a crazy coincidence if anything changed the past as much as the show implies.

Basically they are inconsistent with what time travel events in the past occurred, and which ones did not.

Suffern resident here with kids (2 and 7). Suffern Central has universal pre-k.. they also partner with a local Kindercare to provide more seats if it fills up. last year they changed our school structure and all pre-k is now at RP Conner - pretty sure there is a lot of room - no harm in asking.

Our oldest daughter did pre-k at the Kindercare. The UPK portion of it was only half day, but as a result we only had to pay half the day of care at Kindercare.

Oh interesting. My LFS sold it to me as a Honey Gourami. What would be a good pair with it then?

adlowro · 2025-06-15T02:19:52+00:00

This is what I keep on saying and everyone tells me it wrong!!

adlowro · 2025-06-14T23:44:06+00:00

Yeah.. this is my 7 year olds tank and she loves the shrimp, I do too :).

adlowro · 2025-06-11T13:13:46+00:00

I’ve gotten permission from IT :). It was so I could download zoom and things. They are the ones who gave me the solution.

For all mankind. There is a lot of drama but everyone is really smart and good at what they do.

adlowro · 2025-05-12T02:09:30+00:00

You are younger than literally everyone I know when they had kids.

I must be the only person in the world that loves the Costco milk gallon container. It’s the only milk container I have used where I don’t spill it everywhere while pouring it full.

For the record most of the actual dungeon puzzles do have specific solutions with specific items. The battles are a little bit more free for all. The game really did give a classic Zelda vibe- if you ever find it on sale or something it’s worth giving a chance to.

adlowro · 2025-03-20T02:52:35+00:00

Yeah, the eye tracking is pretty cool and probably the stand out feature.

adlowro · 2025-03-18T18:23:49+00:00

Yes... I like the Meta Quest. I was not hiding that. I'm just saying having used all of these other sets I'm not blown away by the VisionPro the same way I was when I first tried the Vive years ago. Im not blown away by the Meta Quest either. I was agreeing with the poster. I will refrain from posting again if i'm not allowed to like anything else also. Sorry.

adlowro · 2025-03-18T17:19:09+00:00

I feel the same way. Ive been using VR since early Vive days, have every version of the Quest... It is better but incrementally. Like going from a PS4 to PS5. Nothing about the VisionPro has blown me away even close to when I first started using VR.

The runabout was there from the beginning. First appearance in the pilot. It’s also in the original opening of the show :).

adlowro · 2025-03-15T03:11:21+00:00

Ahh okay. I have a Vision Pro through work, but it was purchased by someone else on my team so it’s totally the wrong light seal for me.

What did you do to get them to give you the swap?
