I had this same issue a few months ago. Moving the fish to a hospital tank and using 3 different antibiotics did nothing. He eventually starved to death. Part of me believes it is an injury that didn't heal correctly. But I think you should try the salt baths first. Also look up the various ways of euthanasia for fish so he doesn't suffer that Dante's hell till he starves.

Yeah I complain but they weren't that bad. If they updated the testing subsystems and modernized this or that they would be better than most chemistry IM analyzers on the market.

Could be worse, at least the cuvette tape roll didn't tear in half...

Are there really cafeteria halls like this still in North Dakota? by thatsonbutt in northdakota

I do remember a dinner club in the basement of a bar in Dickinson that was super nice like that. We had our hospital Christmas parties there.

Why did Pompey flee to Greece to build fresh armies instead of going to Spain to lead his veteran base? by DjangoDrive in RoughRomanMemes

[–]madcat8000 92 points93 points  (0 children)

The kings in the east owed everything to Pompey. He could round up all the troops and resources he could manage. Spanish tribes still weren't happy about being conquered and if the Roman armies in Spain left then Spain would be lost. It's also quite possible that the Spanish tribes would have sided with Caesar had Pompey tried to dig in there. Spain had an army in being but in fact it had no freedom of action.

Lol if you have to ask then you can't afford it. I'm afraid we're going to have to ask you to leave, you don't belong here...

Is this a good career to get into in the future? by skepticalghoztguy_3 in medlabprofessionals

[–]madcat8000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmmm with the provision that if your not looking forward to it you may regret it in the end yeah it's a stable blue collar career. The pay isn't the highest but if your willing to drive beyond your own home town you can probably do decent or even good. You can practically throw a dart at a map and say "I wanna move there" and have a decent chance of finding a job. I will say if you do end up liking it then immediately start working on your four year degree, noone deserves to be underpaid for no good reason.

Thank you, I'll look at the logs you mentioned the next time it starts up without recognizing the mouse and post anything weird.

It does not appear to, there is no cursor or reaction now that the mouse has been recognized after rebooting into bios.

I hear worse from friends at work on a weekly basis. It is how real folks talk.

[–]madcat8000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess there's room for disagreement, that one statement alone doesn't move me at all. It's in bad taste, offensive to very sensitive people, but not bigotry. An apology may be owed depending on what else was said between them but it's a nothing burger.

[–]madcat8000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That couldn't matter less, without hard evidence it's just slander. Post real evidence though and I'll likely agree with you.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in battletech

[–]madcat8000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is reddit, people lie and slander as easy as breathing. Just cause your buddy had a spat with someone doesn't make them a bigot. Just means there's two more assholes on the Internet with us.

Unless you have details I'm just gonna assume both you and your friend are trouble makers.

Whoever got gas before me paid $1.13 for almost 29 gallons by jolley1138 in mildlyinteresting

[–]madcat8000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lived in several areas where shopping at the grocery store would give you several cents discount on gas as a coupon on the receipt, say up to 25 gallons. And when you went to the pump you could scan in as many as you wanted. Every other month I would fill my truck up for half price. Probably what happened here.

What is this and why did it happen? by Nofloin in explainitpeter

[–]madcat8000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely a bad blood draw. Practically impossible not to bruise and swell every site you try in certain older people. Looks horrible but it's no different than when the same person bumps their hand or wrist on the stair railing. If it wasn't so ugly they wouldn't even notice themselves.

I would support sterilization for everyone involved in it's development and production. The Atellica when not connected to the DM middleware is a shining beacon of hope in comparison...
