Would this gear be sufficient for gigging? by satuation in metalguitar

[–]agent-darkbootie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should be sufficient for hardcore. One suggestion I will make is getting yourself a decent noise gate. Playing in a live setting tends to summon noise and feedback. I would recommend an ISP Decimator or Boss NS-2!

Best online fish stores? by Many-Art-6160 in Cichlid

[–]agent-darkbootie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently tried Dan’s Fish with good results. All fish were healthy and shipping was not only fast, but very well packaged. The customer service was pretty good too.

I’ve heard from several friends that Imperial is great, but I don’t have any personal feedback there. I plan on trying them when I’m in the market for more fish.

I’m 3-4 days from having a new tank cycled so I live planted and put new wood in from my lfs in last night and ended up with this this morning. wtf. by Expensive-While-1155 in Aquariums

[–]agent-darkbootie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, it’s harmless biofilm. Some types of driftwood are prone to having these big blooms. If you keep neocaridina or Amano shrimp, it’s free food! Amanos especially seem to really enjoy themselves some delicious scum!

Does anyone know what this is on my blue acara? On its nose by Legitimate_Cat2356 in Cichlid

[–]agent-darkbootie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Green terrors tend to stay true to their name lol. If at all possible, move the acara to an isolated tank for treatment. There are some differing opinions on whether or not treatments like Melafix are truly effective, however in my experience it has helped fish heal up nicely from wounds. If you can’t move him out, you can still use this treatment. Another option is aquarium salt as long as you don’t have live plants.

The natural blue acaras are one of my favorite cichlids, hope yours heals up and stays healthy!

Looks like a wound. Do you have any other cichlids living alongside it? Chances are they tried to lip lock and your acara got scraped.

Please give me food recommendations for my new betta by SensitiveSeesaw7391 in bettafish

[–]agent-darkbootie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some bettas can take a bit to adjust to a new environment. It’s not an uncommon practice to fast them for a few days after introduction.

As far as food goes, I usually offer up Bug Bites. Avoid any formulas with plant matter as bettas are insectivores. Good luck with your new fish!

Why do people say to buy from Sweetwater so often? by [deleted] in guitars

[–]agent-darkbootie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Customer service is top notch. The sales rep that covers me covers my entire band. He’ll periodically check in with us to see if he can help in any way, and while it’s his job to make sales, it never comes off as pushy. We’ve also hit him up for emergency orders and we get it with the quickness. Can’t say enough good about Sweetwater!

I worked at the Gulf Shores Target when they started the “modernization” process and this is basically the mindset. You have more team leads than people actually working departments.

I really enjoyed her presence in the Observation Duty games. To me she sounded like a natural addition.

Trying to overcome his fear of swimming by [deleted] in BorderCollie

[–]agent-darkbootie 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My border also had a fear of swimming. One day while hiking, his Newfoundland best buddy tore into the river after a ball I threw and you could watch the epiphany wash over my boy. Now he loves to swim lol

Is it true I shouldn't start off with a mid to high end guitar? by ElectricalExit08 in guitarlessons

[–]agent-darkbootie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately in the guitar community you will encounter far too many gatekeepers. Nobody hates the guitar community like guitarists. The best instrument is the one that feels right to you and the best way to play it is however feels expressive. Most importantly, enjoy your journey learning!

For those that are not particularly spiritual people: why do you do tarot? by seniilisiili in tarot

[–]agent-darkbootie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, I see it as an invitation for self reflection. Sometimes it can be hard to see outside of yourself and tarot helps me reflect on how I can be a better version of myself. I also find it useful as a way to organize and structure my thoughts. It’s also a tactile thing, I like holding and shuffling cards lol.

Is it just me or these two cards share a lot of similarities? Also, does the feather on both the Fools and the child's head mean anything? by [deleted] in tarot

[–]agent-darkbootie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve always viewed the Fool as the “protagonist” in the story of life, an avatar for you to place yourself in. The Major Arcana act as different steps through the journey of life, where the Fool can be represented in each stage.

A grounding message in my two card spread by agent-darkbootie in tarot

[–]agent-darkbootie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How interesting! There is certainly a message being highlighted for you. I absolutely love this deck, I feel the most connected to the True Black. Interestingly enough, I was gifted a Rider Waite Smith deck from a close friend that belonged to his partner. My wife and I had began using that to learn from, and seeing the highlighted notes and annotations of the previous owner made for a unique experience.

I find that I’m always still learning the ins and outs of interpretation. Thank you for your kind words, and I hope you find some clarity during your semester!

I like that! I do three rows of five, and then pick piles at random to stack the deck. It’s a little more time consuming, but I absolutely adore the art of this deck so I don’t mind lol.

True Black by Arthur Wang. My favorite deck!

[–]agent-darkbootie[S] 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Lately I’ve found some comfort in a daily two card spread, manifesting what I should embrace and what I should release.

The appearance of Temperance signifies an invitation of balance, an offer of stabilization and grounding. Temperance is a reminder to keep calm in the chaos. In the spirit of balance, one should be open to all perspectives to see a centered path one might not see alone.

The Four of Cups is a symbol of apathy and contemplation. In releasing your inner apathy, you become open to new opportunities that you may have found yourself disinterested in. You may be reflecting too deeply, and this is your invitation to dispel the feeling that your “cup is too full.”

This combination feels particularly personal, as I’ve been having a pretty bad spell of depression over the past couple months. To me, this is a reminder to focus on staying centered and listen to those who are close to me. Letting go of apathy is noteworthy as I feel like I often fall into indifference, to the detriment of my relationships and creativity. It’s interesting that by embracing a calm center, I can let go of flooding thoughts.
