    I would disagree on your analysis of Legends. Once that show stopped trying to take itself seriously (i.e. when Rip left) they started finding a groove. They not only realize their premise is a bit silly, but fully lean into it and own it. I've actually enjoyed that show more than any of...

    Theater Chain Death Watch? Chapter 11s inc

    The Cinemark theaters actually have a refillable cup and popcorn bucket you can get and get refills for what, by movie theater standards, are the bargain rate of $3 each. Which works for me since I do enjoy popcorn with movies. @Mrs. Haus is doing Keto, so she just loads her purse up with...

    Theater Chain Death Watch? Chapter 11s inc

    I guess in the "Casualties of Covid" list we should seriously be thinking that "Theaters" might be on it. Especially since if they now realize direct to streaming could actually be more profitable for the production houses.... Welcome to being the new horse drawn buggy! Because to be fair...

    Theater Chain Death Watch? Chapter 11s inc

    Cinemark is based here in Dallas. I hope they manage to survive this. If only because they're the closest theater to my house and have an IMAX screen. They're also the nearest place to get a funnel cake, which is also important.

    The ones we're talking about.. no. On the other hand years ago when I had a 55gal with green severum in it I would buy ghost shrimp as live food for them. I bought some once and one seemed to be sneaky and survive... It kept growing. Soon I realized that somehow a full on monster prawn or...

    Well, I have also seen "mineral balls" for shrimp and other things. I have a handful of these in my 20 gallon. Within a couple weeks of putting them in the tank I noticed my amano shrimp had went through a molt and had deeper color to their shells. At first glance, it looks like you simply...

    In my case I live in an older part of Dallas where the water pipes are the same ones which have been in the ground for so long, and the houses are old and have old pipes leeching slowly into the water. But like I said, I haven't had any notable negative effects.

    Aquarists unite: fish are friends, and food

    The biggest water issue I've had living in Dallas is that the water from the tap is really high in dissolved solids. Specifically magnesium salts IIRC. This ended up not negatively impacting any tank I've had too badly. It did make it hard to purposefully lower the PH in the water (it...

    Yeah, that is one of my concerns. In the 20G I have now the only fish I worry about is a red and blue Gourami I have who is an asshole. He will nip at and chase other fish. On the other hand he's never gone after the one ammano algae eating shrimp I have in the tank. I'm debating getting...

    Yeah, I am wanting to add some more colorful shrimp to my 20g. Haven't decided which yet. I was somewhat amazed you can buy live shrimp on amazon and have them shipped.

    OK, here's where I get called a bad aquarium guy.... When I was running my heavily planted, CO2 injected freshwater 100G setup, I removed water MAYBE once or twice a year. In Texas, and with AC and Heat in a house evaporation was a constant lowering of the water level. The saving grace was...

    Oh, in relation to that pic up there. The one thing which I never really managed to do back when I had my huge tank was get that "lush green lawn" look. I managed it easy peasy with the 20 gallon tank thanks to something I tried on a lark from Amazon : Of course I completely ignored the...

    I used to keep a few massive heavily planted freshwater tanks. Then I got a job where I didn't have time to maintain. Now I'm down to one 20G tank.. But now I'm slowly wanting more and more dense plant coverage. I know where this path leads. Current tank :

    I started watching the show before ever seeing the movie. My wife had seen the movie first. We watched it yesterday and whereas it was entertaining, I find myself far more engaged with the show than I was with the movie.

    It's COPD... The VA misdiagnosed an infection in his leg last year, and he spent 2 months in the hospital almost dead, the infection about destroyed his immune system leading to a parade of illnesses. Combined with his pack+ a day smoking, his lungs are pretty completely jacked.
