They had long stems before the leaf and rounded tipped leaves. I think it was some sort of Aponogeton but I can't find one that looks exactly like I remember. Anyway, they were kind of cool.

I've never been a plant guy and my african cichlids would just eat them anyway but back in my community tank days I used to buy little baggies of bulbs at Walmart of all places and drop a few of them in my aquarium and in a few days there would be leaves going to the top of the tank and...

Didn't he like rage quit or get banned or something?

Yeah I love that spot for the fingerprint reader.

Acidfly's opinion on bowfront tanks isn't gospel. If you like them, then get one. I have one and I have spent many hours looking at it and haven't experienced any of acidfly's apparent rage. On the contrary, I think they are very attractive. It's not hard to clean either, you just need to...

Grass doesn't want to be planted deep. You just need enough dirt to keep it from blowing away basically. I'm assuming they said you need to rototill because the ground is compacted and you need to soften it up so the roots can get established? A rototiller will dig down 4 or 5 inches at...

I bet you can rent one for $50 and get it done in a day no problem.

Like with a rototiller? That is easy. Just rent one at the hardware store.

I guess the fancy tank is mostly an aesthetic thing so it's up to you if you want to spend the extra money. The basic tank will work just fine though. Do you know how to cycle a new tank? Since you have another tank that you can transfer stuff from it should be easy but you will want to keep...

I think if you liked them before you probably still will. They're the same as they've always been. I love the regular roast beef with a little arbys sauce and a little horsey sauce. Not a fan of the beef and cheddar but it's because of the sweet roll. I have mentioned before in this thread...

I think if he hadn't done it he probably got voted off so it was a good move. There's going to be consequences though.

I've been driving thru fearlessly but there are no cases in my county or any adjoining ones so far.

It's a cubed or sometimes non-cubed steak, breaded and deep fried. It's the beef version of chicken fingers. Pretty damn good.

Local place known for their finger steaks that has been closed decided to open up today for curbside pickup and made finger steaks half off. Here's a pic my neighbor posted of it. I guess it was a popular idea. I don't know why finger steaks aren't more popular in the rest of the world.

Some people see a pile of cash for the first time and lose their damn minds. When I was in college one of the janitors where I worked won $25K from powerball and immediately quit his job and bought a new car. I was only 19 at the time but even I was like "Dude, you're not rich, after taxes...

My Pixel 3 is still working really well. The battery life has gone down a bit but other than that it's totally solid. Most of my family uses Moto G's and they are fine except for the camera. The camera is not terrible on them, but my pixel 3 camera just wipes the floor with it.

When I lived in the East Bay I used to occasionally see Bubba Paris (O-linemen for the 49ers during 3 of the Joe Montana superbowls) sitting at a folding table at a grocery store by himself signing autographs for $20. It was sad because there was usually no one at the table and he had signs to...

Supposedly he lost $75 million of Rhode Island's money and $50 million of his own. He's probably not broke now because he's done some TV stuff since then, but I bet he'll never see that $50M again.

My favorite 30 for 30 was "Broke" about athletes that have lost all of their money. I always wondered how they manage to blow through their cash so quickly but after watching that it makes a lot of sense and I really sort of felt bad for them. Of course the biggest loser on that episode was...

Bobcats are pretty useless for digging, especially in hard ground. They put so much weight on the rear end to let them lift more that you can't get any down pressure or the thing just tips over backwards. A mini excavator on the other hand...

They probably have inside information that there's not going to be a season this year and just signed him to virtue signal.

Yeah I think I'd just leave a gap in the countertop for the grill myself. I think all the pellet grills have the option of the remote monitoring now, but sort of like a smart TV, I think if I was buying one I would get it as simple as possible and then get the brains in the thermometer so if...

I have a 36V Makita cordless chainsaw along with Stihl and a Husqvarna gas saws. For little jobs I love the electric one. No need to deal with mixing fuel, clogged carburetors, fouled plugs, changing oil, and everything else that goes wrong with small engines. On top of that it's so much...

The one I remember was when McDonald's cheeseburgers would go on sale for 49 cents. Nothing better as a college student than going to McD's with a 5 dollar bill and leaving with 10 cheeseburgers and a dime.

I like how Lanx is offended on behalf of the Toyota Camry that someone died in it.

I'm relatively happy with my brick hearth. Here's the bricks glued to the floor... I failed miserably at grouting them without getting mortar all over the bricks. I actually think they look kind of cool like this, but it's not the look I was going for. So I spent 3 hours grinding the...

On the podcasts everybody says they just sit around and talk about food all the time. Maybe I'm biased because after S1 I didn't really watch again until S15 (China) but I think the survival stuff wears thin pretty quickly. If you want to watch people eating rats check out "Naked and Afraid"...

Russell was a terrible player who only stayed to the end because he found idol after idol. He was entertaining, but he could never win.

I think some of them did get lucky, but the way I look at it, the other person lost by pissing off too many people and/or not making enough relationships. If you played hard the whole game and the jury decided someone who did nothing should get the money instead, then you fucked up.

I don't buy the "bitter jury, didn't deserve to win" thing. The objective of survivor has never been to call the shots or make big moves. It's to stay in the game and get the specific people who are on your jury to vote for you. Whoever won played the best game for that season by definition...

The correct response to that is "mi dispiace non parlo italiano". Blow their minds.

When I got my first job out of college, the company paid for a full service move. Guys came to my apartment, put everything in boxes, even built a crate for my aquarium. I was a typical college student, had one room in a 2 bedroom apartment and everything I owned was hand me downs or thrift...

pretty big fuckup there

Weird. Also editing seems like it would be very conducive to "social distancing".

Yes, which means if Denise votes Sandra out she gets to keep her second token.

Late to the party but I didn't watch until last night. Sandra didn't even have to flip anyone. If she knew Denise was playing the idol and it was just going to be 1 vote then she could have voted for Jeremy and at least forced a tie in case Denise decided to screw her, which she had given her...

If you should have paid him $10k already then it's hard to object to him asking for more if you've only paid him $2500. Maybe I misunderstood the situation though.

You won't regret it. I have a YS640 and the thing is a tank. I'm really happy with it. I don't think there's any way to update firmware in the older models, but I've never had any trouble with mine. You do need to unplug it between cooks though. I've been told it sort of loses its mind if...

I heard a funny interview on a podcast with 2 girls that restock the vending machines on an aircraft carrier and they were like "people talk about us like we're heros but all we do is put out candy bars".
