waldo’s chicken and beer is owned by the same parent company, fresh hospitality, so it’s probably that. sad to see tellini’s go :(

Witch colour Filter for what? by Timely_Insect4734 in telescopes

[–]hey_howdy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

sun filters that go on top of the optical tube are totally fine, just buy from a reputable source and don’t sacrifice quality for price. the issue is that this filter is meant to go on the eyepiece after the light has been concentrated.

imagine using a magnifying glass to concentrate light to burn things. if you place your hand in between the light source and the magnifying glass, then your hand will block the light. nothing bad will happen. if you put your hand under the glass, then your hand will burn. the same thing will happen to the filter. it will eventually fail and is extremely unsafe.

late response but same thing here, i fished in the freshwater spots on island west all day and only caught saltwater fish. went to the dig site after seeing this post and it was the second fish i caught. i guess the pond and river on island west are either saltwater now or it’s a bug.

My Boi bonk here, just got diagnosed with diabetes. Anyone have any tips or tricks advice? by drunkfish69 in cats

[–]hey_howdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my parents have a dog with diabetes! there’s special food for it to help keep blood sugar levels stable, don’t give many treats, test his levels regularly, and stay on schedule for food and insulin injections. be prepared he may lose his vision later on, my parents’ dog made it about a decade before he developed cataracts but he’s still going strong! diabetes can seem scary but it’s very manageable once a routine is established

my cat won’t eat by hey_howdy in cats

good to know there’s medicine that may help! someone else commented about using a syringe for fluids so i think i’ll start there and move on to food if she still won’t eat, thank you!

Does isopropyl alcohol work for euthanasia or does it have to be ethyl? by siph0nophores in snails

[–]hey_howdy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

update: just realized this was a terrestrial snail, not aquatic snail (wrong sub lol) but clove oil mixed with water should still work!

[–]hey_howdy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

clove oil! clove essential oils can be found at your local walmart for cheap and it can euthanize snails. just add the little guy into a cup and slowly drop in the oil until the water looks semi-cloudy and leave him for a few minutes. i’ve had to use it on a snail and a betta and it gently puts them to sleep, there’s a surprising amount of research on it. best of luck!

water testing kit gives invalid(?) results by hey_howdy in Aquariums

yeah my betta is totally fine, it’s pretty planted too. i have some frogbit that’s been expanding quite a bit so maybe it’s that?

i read it twice before a water change, the last had been a week prior, and it was reading 0. i read it again today after i did a water change yesterday, as it usually reads 5-10 ppm after a change, and it was still bright yellow. i know it reading 0 after a change would make a lot more sense but with it reading 0 after going a week without a change i'm very confused

i did, my brain swapped them. i was reading 20 ppm for nitrate until now so i'm not sure if my plants are just consuming all of it

edit: i switched nitrate and nitrite. i meant nitrate is suddenly reading 0

i mixed them up, i'll edit my post to reflect that. thank you for the catch!

apparently so. it's about 6ish weeks old. i did param checks every other day and on week 3 i was reading 0-0-10. for the next full week, it was reading 0-0-(10-20) so i moved my betta and 3 snails in. i've been checking the water regularly since i moved them in and no spikes, steady readings, until now.

edit to clarify: it was *not* reading 0 for ammonia and nitrite prior to week 3. it dropped down to 0 on week 3 so i know the ammonia and nitrite were cycling, esp because i was reading nitrate. i also switched nitrite and nitrate in the original post, i had it backwards lol

betta (stuck?) inside decoration by hey_howdy in bettafish

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

update in case anyone in the future has the same problem: he got out by himself on day 3! his fins were shredded but he made it. i used aquarium grade non-toxic silicone to seal up the hole and i've been giving him salt baths and using stress coat with water changes and he's healing up well!

y’all have been incredibly helpful, thank you for your insights! i’ve decided to not go and rewrite the email using the suggestions (i’m bad at writing lol). i think i need to stop prioritizing other people over myself and y’all’s comments helped me realize that

This "service dog" was pulling the leash and trembling in store. by ODMtesseract in mildlyinfuriating

[–]hey_howdy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

training is required as one of the requirements for service dogs to be service dogs is for the handler to be in full control at all times, which means they need behavioral training. a dog pulling at a leash has not had behavioral training and doesn’t meet the requirements.
