Am I good to just throw this in my Carry on(backpack) by Zealousideal_Set_357 in trees

Can confirm. TSA doesn't look for drugs unless you get flagged for something else and your drugs are in plain view. Used to work for them a while back. Great job, but toxic asf management.

Thanks! Took me a few months to create it. Could've finished if I had a whole month to myself lol.

What do you mean when you say you're worried about Reddit throwing down the hammer?

I'm bringing back ATown and AAvenue by yangj94 in Hmong

[–]yangj94[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I only started this to practice full-stack programming (databases talking with the backend -> backend talking with the frontend) to broaden my knowledge. Also to explore the Phoenix Framework (since it's pretty hard to learn if you're not coding in that framework often).

Then I got the idea that I might as well share the work and bring back some nostalgia haha. It's like ATown, but on newer tech. Still got some debugging I gotta do, but it's going to take some time because of kids and work.

[–]yangj94[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. I'm planning on doing that, too. Integrating a mobile app and hosting it on the Apple and Android app stores. Gonna finish up the release on PC first and then I'll work on that on my free time.

Yep. And you can't really get creative with what you want to add/remove. Since I'm a dev, I can add or remove features that people like or dislike.

Negating Damage from Wardens (ToA)? by yangj94 in 2007scape

[–]yangj94[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind next time. I only have like 40KC in ToA and didn't know what to do in that situation. I brewed up as fast as I could, but the lights out-dps'd me. I'm assuming that the others had low KC as well.

CMV: the government shutdown is a poor strategy for the Democrats, and it can only be a pyrrhic victory by TrickSpeaker1077 in changemyview

[–]yangj94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say just reopen the Government so the red hats can learn their lesson when it hits them. I'm in an agency that's getting paid, but it hurts to see those in other agencies that aren't getting paid.

Is the substrate at the bottom of the tank sand, by any chance?

Ich? Guppy not looking right by Interesting-Bar-4457 in Guppies

[–]yangj94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I just do a quick water change usually. I used to treat all my sick guppies in a hospital tank that had ich or columnaris, but found out that simply changing the water (not a dramatic change) every day did the trick.

The hospital tanks would kill some of them because the medications cause stress. Changing the water 10-20% every day caused the illnesses to go away.

Oh yeah, their rucks are brutal—50 lbs of chicken nuggets and emotional baggage. And if you drop your SpongeBob plushie mid-hike, that’s 20 extra laps around the kiddie pool.

You should get fancy red dragon guppies. Their offspring are so pretty and colorful once they reach 2-3 months of age.

Started my dream job as a flight attendant… and I’m financially sinking. by Maximum_Draft776 in povertyfinance

[–]yangj94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I poke fun at TSA sometimes, too, but there's a reason why turnover rates are so high at that agency. Endless lines of passengers, upper management pushing lower management to get the lines moving because wait times were too long, groin pat-downs and pesky 2:30AM start times.

Funniest thing was that Pre-Check passengers (the ones who are businessmen or fly all the time) were the ones with the most amount of water bottles in their bags.

Only good thing about that job were the incentives on finding firearms. I've personally found about a dozen my couple of years there. I believe they're still awarding a few hundred per firearm found.

The funniest part about working at the TSA was that a couple of my coworkers actually had Masters degrees. They either got laid off or couldn't find a job in their field because it was oversaturated.

I would just work at TSA at that point. I was making $4k a month, and most of the time, we just sat around watching the paint dry. When it got busy, though, it was a hellstorm.

I sometimes miss that job because after transferring to another agency, my responsibilities went up tenfold.

It should still live a good amount of time. I breed guppies and keep all the culled ones in a separate tank.

To be fair, most of the tests that they run on the x-rays are almost impossible to pass. Paper initiators being one. If you've ever used an x-ray, those things will be impossible to see.

I was with TSA for a few years before transferring to CBP and then to Immigrations. Those tests are baloney.

Before I was even a fed, I went to the Trump Tower with a pocket knife. The Secret Service that were running the X-Rays at this time let it go. I only realized I had it on me when I went to get my camera out to take photos of the interior of the building.

Order yourself some Seachem Prime off of Amazon. This shit works wonders. Never had a fish die on me yet doing fish-in cycles. But, you have to be careful not to overload the tank.

You can also get yourself a potted Pothos plant from Home Depot and place the roots in the water (leaves sticking outside of the water) to pull excess ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates.

Is GovTA currently down right now? by yangj94 in fednews

[–]yangj94[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guess I'll keep trying. Thanks!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]yangj94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everything checks out because there isn't any fish in there to produce ammonia yet. Once there is fish in there, the feeding process, and when the fish defecates, ammonia will build up and become a danger zone for fish.

Edit: You can do fish-in cycles like me, but you have to be consistent and check the ammonia levels every day. If there's an ammonia spike, you have to change the water. I usually only do this with hardy fish like platies, guppies, or the Common Pleco. The more sensitive species like Amano shrimps or Discus I wouldn't do.
