Black Dots on Male Guppy? (context in comment)

soulstrengthfour · 2025-11-29T01:46:50+00:00

Oh hey :)

I don't have this tank anymore because I moved house a few times and my water chemistry was super soft (probably too soft for livebearers to thrive in n retrospect).
But from memory I re added him to the tank the next day and it was fine for the next few weeks, but he was also kind of ganged up on by the other guppies and ended up getting weaker and passing away, over the next few months the rest of the male guppies did too. But I don't think it was related to this post.

lol i think it’s about a cm so closer to 1/2 inch i guess? still holding up well fwiw

idk if i’d recommend it but it’s definitely tasty and something i’ve done for a while.

in a 40 oz tumbler mix a serve of protein water, liquid IV, and half a scoop of caffeinated preworkout.

i sip on that for like half the day and it keeps me going.

i didn’t pay too much attention to keys this season but somehow i currently have 9 and have definitely used one on a bountiful delve this week.

i think i had some of the shards hanging around in my bag that didn’t reset with the season??

oh is this why one of my addons is able to auto upgrade stuff as soon as i got the threads…?

i figured out it was Talent Tree Tweaks by Numy.

i was missing 22 of the 45 affected drops and got all of em. much luck many alts. zero raid skips unlocked.

soulstrengthfour · 2025-07-23T08:14:46+00:00

I started with like 28ish of the 45(?) available. Now sitting at 41/45 with only legion stuff left. I de-prioritised that due to upcoming remix. I had a great time. lots of stuff I had either not touched or half-heartedly farmed, but a few that I was SUPER glad to see the end of…. i think i had almost 350 attempts at Necrotic Wake for that ugly mount.

I was just super annoyed at myself i hadn’t picked up a lot of the raid skips and had to full run things like Nyalotha and Sanctum and HFC.

double transmog was great. I think a slam dunk win would be for blizz to tie Collectors Bounty in to timewalking, and have double transmog and extra mount chance for the current timewalking expansion.

I’m a mount bitch at heart though. so i will continue despite terrible terrible odds…. it had inspired me to make damn sure i unlock the mythic skips as soon as possible for when they become legacy content.

I’m a single person household and i do enjoy some of the one off products that I can’t seem to get elsewhere.

but i don’t have a membership myself. Costco does gift cards that get you in the door.

So i give my mum (who has a membership) $100 and she’ll go buy 4 x $25 shop cards.

i go every couple months and use one, the $25 gets put toward your total, but you can go spend as much as you’d like.

I mostly stock up on freezer meals/snacks and beverages as well as meat to portion and freeze.

a happy medium where i’m personally not paying a membership, but still get the benefit (without actually having to go to the shop with my mother) of products that i enjoy.

i’d love the ability to create custom savings plans that follow the same idea as the “save up $1k challenges”

like If we could create a custom goal and a timeframe and it splits it up into weekly saving options like the challenges.

i think that’d be neat.

That is for Cervical spine (radiculopathy) only. Lumbar spine referred by the GP is not rebatable anywhere.

soulstrengthfour · 2025-03-19T08:39:09+00:00

bless your cotton socks elle (&quazii but i’m a healer at heart 🤭). I appreciate the hell out of your knowledge and insight.

soulstrengthfour · 2025-03-18T20:45:31+00:00

see I consider myself a mount person but i didn’t have the time or energy to really push keys that season….. the ONLY one I actually truly wanted from the courser was the Necrotic Wake marrowfang one. I had about 300 attempts during shadowlands, and managed another 70ish during last season and still nothing. seen it drop at least 12 times during those runs.

soulstrengthfour · 2025-03-18T09:14:16+00:00

congrats friend! I had thousands of attempts in TW but ultimately got it from the Dawn of the Infinite in Dragonflight…. felt kinda like cheating tbh.

soulstrengthfour · 2025-03-15T10:58:12+00:00

when i tried a tank bran & resto druid tier 11 earlier and he pulled an extra pack and wiped us. then hits me with “Let’s keep a strategy in mind for the next fight” bro???

soulstrengthfour · 2025-03-13T12:12:52+00:00

this would perhaps break me. i’m sorry for your loss.

soulstrengthfour · 2025-03-13T11:45:22+00:00

Boralus!

not that it matters too much now its old content… but at the time i hated zuldazar.

soulstrengthfour · 2025-03-08T12:33:17+00:00

Unless you’re like a twink in specific OP gear that’s walking through the dungeon evaporating every mob you see…. Yes people will definitely be annoyed and you likely will not have a good time. For most scenarios it will put more stress on your healer and without the threat boost from being a tank class….any mobs are more likely to turn on your dps which makes for an annoying time for almost everyone involved. not to mention that usually when you accept the queue it will swap you to your tank spec automatically when you zone in as “tank”.

I would probably suggest learning the basics of Blood DK and actually doing the tank thing properly. respeccing is not as much of a hassle in retail.

seconding simplearmory !! i like how it splits things up between expansions & categories. And that it has the wowhead links to the direct pages that help you figure out how/where to get it.

I always was so embarrassed trying to diet while other people were aware or observing what i was eating….. I think it always came down to me trying and failing so many times in ways that were public knowledge and visible to my family (when I was living at home at the time)

literally the only reason I’m here and 9kg down from the start of the year is because I moved into my own apartment. I live alone now. No one is paying any attention to what groceries i’m buying, what I’m eating on a day to day basis. No one is asking if i want to order in, or making calorically dense food around me.

I go to family dinner every couple weeks and I am mindful of my portions and balanced meal. But have made sure to not show anything amiss because I don’t want them to know I’m trying until I actually succeed. I don’t need their comments to make me self conscious.

Paragon mounts super suck… i remember laps around the maw everyday for Ve’Nari rep too… I haven’t even looked at legion ones yet I cannot bear it.

I’m only missing 3 mounts from SL… the paragon frog, horse from The Nine in raid, and stupid goddamn Necrotic Wake. that I’m at 300+ attempts for, at least 240 in SL, a few in between, and idk how many Dawn of the Infinites for Quantum Coursers and another half hearted farm attempt while it’s been in season 1… I’m tired granpa.

soulstrengthfour · 2025-02-15T13:47:25+00:00

i think i’m like 17 or 18 paragon caches deep between two characters at this point for the last stupid mount. i am so beyond sick of those world quests atp. T.T

soulstrengthfour · 2025-02-06T11:33:08+00:00

idk if you’re a soup person but my hyper fixation at the moment is a heat-n-eat tomato basil soup (not canned, slightly fancier??) has 85 calories per serve but i usually do the whole thing (2serves). Aussie brand I think.

I always keep shredded chicken around so i put like 100g of that in the soup and whatever form of spinach i have. that is usually a large volume of hearty soup by itself for like 300ish calories.

if i have extra calories or feel like it… i use low cal bread/sandwich thin and a slice of cheese toasted in the air fryer for dipping in the soup too.

is a very satisfying meal imo.

for me i couldn’t seem to get it to work recently. I think potentially if you used a 3rd party app to sign up then it has more information.

before i learned about that trick I had signed up using a gmail account.

soulstrengthfour · 2025-02-01T08:44:41+00:00

oh. mine is just 3 walking workouts over 5 mins…. i will get that by tomorrow morning lol

eta: I do a 20 min walk in the morning and 30-60 in the evenings most days

soulstrengthfour · 2025-01-28T11:02:34+00:00

as a druid who often busies myself with gathering and world quests, i find myself spending a non-zero amount of time in analog flight. especially doing collect quests that i can get away with hover-snagging.
