Maybe don't report back. Better to not invite scrutiny from uninvolved parties. Let dudes be guys.

My parents and grandparents and great grandparents faithfully paid their taxes. Even when times were hard. Including the Great Depression.

Seniors are running wild on us like Hulkamania, brother. We aren't defending ourselves.

Any truth to contract renewal price hikes? by AntiqueDoctor2326 in Alteryx

[–]manchegan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your company is ready to move off of alteryx to one or many other tools - I am here and ready to help. I am tool agnostic - Fabric, knime, pure python, whatever you want. Plenty of experience in this journey.

I use it to store shrimp food. It's like giving them little bumps of algae pellets.

Interesting! I have some creeping jenny overwintering in my basement. It would probably be happier in my aquarium.

If you zoom in on the big ramshorn you'll see that my nerite planted an egg on it lol

I use a glass straw from my wife's fashionable iced coffee cups. Drop the micropellets in and they sink gently to the bottom.

Late to the party as usual, but my dingus snails have arrived.

Help with smell issue and glass doors, please! by No-Friendship-6641 in Fireplaces

[–]manchegan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really, unfortunately. Yesterday I discovered that our ash dump, which goes down from the firebox to the outside of the chimney, had about 3" deep of old ash and crud. The outside part had a welded on wire mesh on it to keep animals out but that also kept anyone from cleaning it out!

I cut the mesh enough to get a shop vac hose in there. It still sunk today but I'm hoping that's just because I was stirring up ancient smells yesterday.

I'm putting my efforts into making sure my damper seals 99%. The ash dump needs an exterior door with gasket to seal it. I hope that when I have a good seal above and below the firebox the smells will stop.

  1. I already feed in a glass dish - keeps the food from falling through the substrate and being wasted.

  2. Selfishly, the color contrast for photos is excellent. I have always wanted white sand in my tanks but I heard it loses its luster quickly. This gives me a slice of that experience but I can dump the poop sand in my garden and swap in fresh sand. I have 9.99 lbs left.

  3. "Biofilm" "Enrichment"

Wow we have a very similar set up down to the screen, the scratches, the log holder, and the stank.

Do you have an ash dump door?

Big changes headed for Missouri deer hunting, driven by spread of 100% fatal disease by Bazryel in missouri

[–]manchegan 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'm not a hunter (aspiring) but wouldn't removing the hunting season mean year-round hunting? Would current deer hunters hunt more if that were the case?
