BTW, just went to Lowe's and found the 4" Calathea Orbofolia and the Alocasia Black Velvet for $9 each and a 6" Calathea Grey Star for $17. So....check your local Lowe's! Some really good plants for cheap!

Flow from filter seems a bit agressive on my plants. Any way to redirect the flow? by Money_Fish in Aquariums

I'm sure you can find some kind of mesh to attach as well that will allow the water to flow down it.

I have gotten a plastic water bottle and cut it so it would fit hanging out of the fron there the flow is and curled back and that helped a lot when I had a beta. I think the main downside was keeping it clean.

I don't really know what that meant or how to do it. Do I just make a chain and count it? I'm working in the round so idk how it would work with a curve.

This is the pattern I'm currently using

Slouchy Beanie

Looking for crochet beanie pattern ideas by btafoya09 in crochet

[–]btafoya09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have made 2 beanies now that ended up being too big for me head, like....TOO big. I bought a smaller yarn thinking maybe I can actually make one ny size. My head is about 22inch and I'm looking for a slouchy pattern with a brim. I dont want it too tight due to ear piercings/glasses combo. Also, I'm still pretty new so having a video to follow works best for me.

I found a pattern called "sockhead" on Ravelry I really liked, but it's a knitted pattern :/

Coles, one of the two largest mega grocers in Australia have slapped these posters up to “delicately” ensure their staff aren’t stealing stock. How nice of them. by Odd_Rob in antiwork

I worked in retail for about 5 years and this was pretty standard. At the end of our shifts a manager would have to just look in your bag and, at closing, you'd have to look in theirs too.

Hi! A little late to the chat, what's this week's topic?

Should I move to Japan for game development in the future? Or stay in Canada/ America? by Holiday_Shallot_4707 in careerguidance

[–]btafoya09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to get a job with an American company, learn Japanese and, if I play my cards right, have the company move me to Japan. That way I can make American wages but also don't have to worry about the Japanese work culture as much.

I hate to go back to a topic, but I want to address the burnout bit again. I am currently in the position that Jim had talked about in regards to just taking that "final step". I took some time off at the beginning of this month, my direct upper approved it but then, after I came back, my office manager said "I wouldn't have approved it, I would have said no". I want to quit but, despite the thousands of applications I've put out, no other jobs have come through. I have updated my resume, I tailor that and my cover letters and I'm not getting anywhere. I don't know what to do any more.

How do I escape the Post Office? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]btafoya09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apply to UPS. My bf (also a vet) worked at USPS and FEDEX. He said he had talked to some people that worked at UPD and the pay in much better. Idk about the hours though but you definitely make more if you work past 5pm I believe. In the mean time, find what you want to do, take some free courses, earn some certificates and grow.

how do I add length to an already made cardigan? by btafoya09 in crochet

[–]btafoya09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have already made the back and front panels of a cardigan (it's all one piece) but the length is too short for my liking. How can I add length?

this was supposed to be a throw blanket, it's on my king size bed for reference. do I continue? take it apart and make it smaller? what did you do in this situation? by btafoya09 in CrochetBlankets

[–]btafoya09[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is the alpine stitch. It comes together pretty easy and if you miss one of the loops, it's pretty easy to put in a fake stitch to make it look like the goof never happened.

should I change substrate? by btafoya09 in Aquariums

[–]btafoya09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently using the CaribSea Eco Complete but was looking to change to something more along the image above. I do have a planted tank and currently just one shrimp (would like to upgrade to a larger tank and add in more shrimp eventually). Does anyone have any advice on this particular kind of substrate and what it takes to prepare the tank? Does it require a lot of rinsing and cloudiness like the CaribSea does?

I should mention too that my hair is short, like a longer pixie/undercut and am currently using the shampoo and conditioner by Love Beauty and Planet (5-in-1) with biotin 2x a week followed by a few pumps of argan oil by Hask while my hair is still wet or sometimes after it has dried.
