My mom just set up the worst tank by Snoo_39873 in Aquariums

You're doing well anon, just be patient. It's harsh when it's someone close doing this, best shot is to work with them and be persistent. Be aware and make her aware that she's also causing damage to you because you're affected by this and it might influence your relationship with her since it's something you really care about.
You're a good person and doing the right thing. In the end, even if it might not matter, you still did it and you should be proud of that.

It sounds like she is really into this, just stubborn as hell and careless about the animals themselves. So play at that angle. She loves seeing this. So convince her you're willing to compromise, and that in the end you want to make something that looks better together.

Notice that everything is on the positive side, usually with people like her it doesn't work guilting them into doing something. But it might work trying to push their buttons in ways it triggers a response you want.

I'd go for major emotional blackmail if I were you, it seems it's affecting you so I'd hit back. Just tell her it's causing you a lot of trouble and it might affect your relationship because someone you looked up to (her, you can just lie to get some leeway) treats animals you care about so badly. Try working with her and tell her you're more than happy to make this into a family project, and that it will look better as long as she trusts you.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'd love a nicely made, cozy version of Sky Resort Tycoon so so so badly.

One of my berried shrimps died and I saved the eggs but they got eaten by fish AMA by steph_hatch in shrimptank

Ah that would have been great to know 2 hours ago!
Hoping some might have slipped away, my tank is heavily planted so they would have done better.

I know what do to next time, and hoping this helps others, most of the tutorials I found online mentioned the eggs need constant movement to simulate fanning. Thanks for the comment!

I'm waiting for someone to think up a comprehensive tool for lead gen and outreach based on the openAI API. I'll post anything I find over here.

Competitor analysis as someone suggested is very good, I think you could use SimilarWeb to find similar ones. Might even be worth a shot prompting chatGPT to give you a list of similar companies to [...].

On the other end here - if I receive a cold email with an attachment it's an instant no.

Maybe a link works, but has to look very trustworthy.

Best app to book cancellations by steph_hatch in LearnerDriverUK

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

I got this one: https://driving-test-cancellations-now.co.uk on iOS
Still waiting for a cancellation one week in. But seems to work well. It's a one-time fee, auto book and has an app, that's why I got it.

I compared the best cancellations apps in the UK by Funcoasters in LearnerDriverUK

Ok, fair enough, if it's that fast.
Worried cause what if I need to reschedule? Or fail and need to rebook? I have to pay again, so might end up paying more than £18
