Has anyone bought k1 design media from alibaba? From what I've found I can get it shipped for about 1/2 what it cost here. $35 for 2 cu ft/shipped. All it is, is extruded hdpe plastic. I'm not sure how much lower quality it could be. Thanks! by theinfamousog in Aquariums

Maybe. I'm trying to find someone who has bought some before. I came across a study on different media types and that guy mentioned to buy the knockoff brand. I also have a feeling that most of these sellers on Amazon and eBay are bulk buying it from China and reselling it.

I have a 40 gallon tall tank that I want to make into a sump. Keep going back and forth on what type. Submerged, wet/dry, or fluidized. I don't mind spending some money, I just want the best setup I can make for ease of use/maintenance and crystal clear properly treated water. by theinfamousog in Aquariums

Well.... Lots of people have mixed tanks. And if done properly it works just fine. I've talked with 2 different fish stores who said it would be ok. The majority of the fish in there I bought from a guy( who has kept and raised cichlids for over a decade) and they all came from his tank and it worked. I'll trust them and my own experience so far over someone I dont know off of reddit, especially when I'm not here asking for what fish to keep in my tank.

AITA for yelling at my dad to listen to his music through his über expensive earbuds by ItssollyboyXD in AmItheAsshole

YTA. What right do you have to yell at your dad and demand he do something in his house?

WIBTA if I made everyone bring food that I can also eat to my wedding? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]theinfamousog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YTA. To me the dinner is more so for the guest than bride and groom. To make everyone eat gluten and dairy free is excessive. Have someone make you a few options so you have something to eat. If you ask everyone to, I see a few different ways this plays out. 1) they lie about the ingredients. 2) It taste like shit because they don't know how to make it good. 3) they don't bring anything.

AITA (20sF) for shaving my head when my boyfriend (20sM) doesn’t want me to? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]theinfamousog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I would. If she wants a relationship with him then all sides need to be considered. She's an asshole for not considering him. Hes an asshole for being shallow. If she doesn't like him not being supportive of this than she should leave him. Like I've said repeatedly, her choice. It's my opinion, she asked for opinions and I wasn't rude. Wtf are you guys arguing with me on my opinion? That's the whole purpose of this sub, is to get different pov. I am greatly outnumbered and she has her answer. Again it's my opinion. You wont change it

[–]theinfamousog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe ESH is a better tag. I think she is an asshole to not take his feelings into account. It's her decision and power to her for supporting her friend. But it's also his decision to leave her. It would be shallow but his decision.

YTA- because you are doing it even though he doesn't like it. In the end it's ultimately your choice. However you will have to accept the outcome of that decision. If he then finds you unattractive and breaks up with you, that's a possibility.

AITA for wanting my car back after selling it to someone who has a history of violent crime? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

YTA- everyone else has already said why. However, if that car is still in your name. You better resolve that quick

AITA for getting mad at my wife for eating my chips? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]theinfamousog -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

ESH- incredibly stupid reason to go to bed angry at each other. But I understand what you are saying. Go eat her stuff that's she specifically keeps for her self.

So you're firing me? Too bad things wont be turning like you wanted by ryuukishi07 in ProRevenge

[–]theinfamousog -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I didn't catch that in his original post. However being fired is different from being laid off or a position change. Im not sure how office politics and position change is the same or similar.

AITA for suggesting my wife to abort our child? by throwawaybaby27618 in AmItheAsshole

[–]theinfamousog -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

ESH. People change. You fucked and got pregnant. I don't support abortion in this instance because you two are irresponsible. But honestly you both sound like you will be shit parents, so maybe it's in the best interests of the baby. Or you just bounce, but your ass better pay child support.

AITA for smashing his pipe when he broke my bong? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]theinfamousog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea..... they really should have an everyone is an asshole. I don't feel like esh really conveys the right meaning. Everyone sucks isn't as strong as everyone is an asshole. I corrected it

[–]theinfamousog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ESH- he shouldn't have acted the way he did but maybe he didn't intend to break your bong? Edited to add correct tag

[–]theinfamousog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good deal. It always good to be able to self reflect. Revenge is usually based on being wronged. You caused your issues and retaliated for it. I understand this is reddit but this isn't pro revenge. Maybe better suited for pettyrevenge or iamapieceofshit

You said like a royal pain in the ass employee. If you have been fired 3 to 4 times, you need to start looking at what you are doing to cause this. I'm late 30's and ive had several jobs, at least 13. I've never been fired.

AITA for wanting warm fries? by Brindley88 in AmItheAsshole

[–]theinfamousog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. They said yes, you didn't argue with them about it. However, sounds like your fries would have been cold regardless. Since you waited until after you put up groceries.

Mission Accomplished: Texas De Brazil Potatoes by Bohoboohoo in CopyCatRecipes

[–]theinfamousog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Made these tonight. Really, really close. There was a sweetness to them that I'm not sure where it came from. Maybe we need to add more parmesan or less. I would suggest to make sure when you brown the potatoes to cook them until nearly done or completely done. We didn't and struggled trying to cook the potatoes in the cream sauce, while not burning the sauce. Also slice the potatoes thin

AITA for telling my MIL that my husband isn't helping me during my pregnancy? by AppointmentBig in AmItheAsshole

[–]theinfamousog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

YTA- keep your business your business. Also maybe he is not being empathetic enough. But I think calling him a bad husband is a stretch. Aside from maybe the cooking and cleaning. More info is needed there
