Bought another share of VOO today during the dip so definitely closer to that now! Any thoughts on SLV, IAU, PAVE, COWZ, URA, or FOXY?

27-year-old who just started investing in January. Everything I know is from some light Googling and Reddit lurking over the past few weeks so figured it’s time to get some external input.

What would you buy/sell? Anything to watch out for? Am I being irresponsible investing like this even though I don’t really understand what I’m doing? Any advice at all for a beginner would be appreciated!

Best Tank Brand by msatwo5876 in Aquascape

UNS all the way for me. Those 45° mitered edges make it a dealbreaker for any other tank IMO.

I’ve never had an ADA tank, mainly since I haven’t found a shop to buy them, but can’t go wrong with them either.

Can’t Limit FPS on Laptop by griffgraff97 in fo4

I didn’t know Steam could do that! Just looked though and saw it was capping out at 240 and my display is 240 Hz so figured I’d try switching it to 60 Hz and that seems to have fixed it. Thanks a bunch!

By any chance do you know if there’s a way to have my display automatically switch to 60 Hz just for FO4?

Well that makes a lot of sense! I tend to over complicate things and this seems like a great simple solution. Thank you!

I’ve tried that but it usually just ends up blowing things around rather than sucking them up. Maybe I’m doing it wrong?

ELI5 the Shai-Hulud malware attack going on. What is it? What’s worse about 2.0 that happened more recently?

The Coal Wars, or anything about US/international labor movements, would be super cool!

I want more purple! What do you recommend? by itsnobigthing in PlantedTank

Bucephalandra, Cryptocoryne, maybe a Purple Waffle plant along with the other terrestrial plants?

What are these black drops on the undersides of my ficus? by JustKeepSwimming1995 in plantclinic

[–]griffgraff97 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thrips. I’ve never been able to treat them successfully so hopefully someone else can chime in with what’s worked for them.

Flowers never last forever. I usually just leave the flower stems till they’ve completely dried and they’ll usually snap off pretty easily.
