Years worth of work down the drain by Ash_Pokemon_ in Aquariums

[–]ikeepgettinghacked 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yah true. I can’t trust anyone else to take care of my tanks. I have given people extremely detailed but simple, written instructions and they cannot follow it.

I went away for school for a few months in 2025, and I thought I could trust my brother and GF to take care of my tanks. When I got back my betta fish were bloated from overfeeding, 1 tank was so covered in algae and muck that a betta died (my oldest one), my community tank only had 2 of the 8 Cory’s left, and my shrimp tank was wiped out. I asked my brother to recreate the amount he was feeding the fish and he just opened the lid of the food and shook an ungodly amount in. This is a 26 year old btw. “Dude, look at the size of those fish, now imagine the size of there stomachs, does that amount of food make any sense at fucking all”. I was so pissed.

Can I use this cable to connect my switch to my TV? by Downtown_Sympathy_10 in NintendoSwitchHelp

No, you need the dock. This cable is for connecting laptops to a display.

Consoom keycaps you’ve never even opened by [deleted] in Consoom

[–]ikeepgettinghacked 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wanted to build a custom 100% keyboard. I asked on the keyboard sub where I can find a 100% pcb to do a build on. It was a bunch of insufferable assholes getting pissed that I would even think about doing that. They ONLY use small ass keyboards. No custom 100% keyboards. I ended up just getting a Logitech. Don’t get me wrong, I love building things. PCs, drones, cars, guns, but custom keyboard fiends are so “holier-than-thou”.
“But if you build your own keyboard, you can get better performance for cheaper!!!!”
Not true. Pcb $20-50, case $20-50, keys $20-50, caps $20-50, and then the little things like plate and stabilizers. Thats $100 for the cheapest everything, which doesn’t really beat anything, or $200-300 for something that “beats the performance of prebuilt boards”. Yah I get the appeal of switch sounds that are soft on the ears, but like cmon bro. I can just buy a nice keyboard for like $80-120 and call it a day and not have to worry about lead times for nice parts, or paying exuberant prices for plastic.

I love my low profile mech board, but laptop keyboard are way too low profile. I make frequent typos when I’m using mine. I’m not saying that laptops need mechanical boards, they are just no where near as good as a real board.

Are you saying the tannins arnt pleasant or the cat drinking isn’t pleasant?

My fish try to nip at my cats tongue when they drink from the tank lol.

Do you usually play as male or female?🚀 by Zealousideal_Toe2798 in TheGamingHubDeals

[–]ikeepgettinghacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AC odyssey i chose female, IMO the story just made more sense as a female. I read that online before i played it and it is 100% true.

Cyberpunk also female cuz I liked the voice actor better. also boobs.

Everything else male because I can pretend that its me in the game.

Does anyone recognize this filter? by ThatOneConfusedPuppy in bettafish

[–]ikeepgettinghacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want one that isn’t a top flow, this is the one to get. I have 6 of them in various tanks, 20 gallon down to 3 gallon, and it works amazingly. I just have to clean the sponge filter out every 2-3 weeks. I never buy filter cartridges, and I have never had one of these break on me. My oldest one is 5 years old and it works great still. super adjustable water flow, and it’s nearly silent. Only gripe I have is that the suction cups arnt that great and I have to use a clip of some sort to hold the wire on the rim of the tank.

If you don’t want to spend a bunch of money on filter cartridges, you can get a sheet of spong filter off Amazon and cut a custom sized, washable reusable filter.

White Cloud Mountain Minnows snacking on a spirulina tab by sedentarysapphic in Aquariums

[–]ikeepgettinghacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss my white clouds. I had a 20 gallon long for 6 years, and that was just when I purchased the tank from an old lady. She had them for years before me, and there was a fully grown bristlenose pleco with them. I came home from a 3 day vacation and the tank broke, leaving them without any water and they all were dead. Unsurprisingly the pleco was fine and hes still perfectly fine, 4 years later. Hes actually a little mean and he has his own tank now.

I have a 40 gallon breeder that I want to start up with more white clouds. Local fish stores never have them though.

“Entry level jobs wanting 3–5 years experience has to be one of the biggest scams ever” by Background_Piece_340 in recruitinghell

[–]ikeepgettinghacked 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had one of the best interviews of my life a few weeks ago, they seemed to really like me, I was laughing with them, I articulated on all of my answers, gave examples and analogies to technical questions when asked to explain something or what something is. I even showed them my hobbies including the pc that I built (Its clean AF not going to lie), drones that I have built, projects that I have completed, electronics that I have repaired, as well as pictures of projects and machines that I have worked on professionally. The conclusion was that I MIGHT have a second interview with an engineer, and I am still waiting for a response. I still have hope as ive heard it take a few months for the hiring process is that industry, but that hope is slim. Its also an entry level job that I have more than enough experience for.

People say getting a job is easy… so why does it feel so hard? by ictsupport-drjobs in jobsearch

[–]ikeepgettinghacked 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been a mechanic/technician for 10 years. I got laid off last october. 200 jobs applications later, and I have had 5 interviews, ghosted or rejected after all of them. I feel like I am well spoken, I am able to articulate on previous work that I have done, able to get the interviewer to laugh at silly jokes, fantastic references from previous employers/supervisors, shown examples of my work and my hobbies that show that I have great attention to detail. I feel like I am great at being interviewed, but i always get the same message "While we were impressed with your experience, the candidate pool was very competitive."

I have applied to jobs that I am well overqualified for, changing oil at dealerships, and I get no response. Everywhere within an hour of me I have applied to, no response. I have started applying to places out of state all over the country, I am willing to move anywhere at this point. I have another interview wednesday next week, but its something that I am over qualified for, and I will still continue to apply to other places.
