What is this delicious food? 👀 Been on a soup-recipe-collecting bender.

Jesus five hours later. :( I hope you get only the news you want.

Good news for me because I have a 30, a 20, a 5, a 5.5, and a 25H! I’ll eventually have a double decker setup for those aquariums on one wall, so it’s nice to know I have more options than five separate HOB or internal filters. Thank you!

Everywhere I see institutions eroding because they can’t resist one cheap or easy temptation.

What is the most RELATIVELY quiet aquarium filter in anything 30g and under? Fantasy land I’d plumb everything through the wall to a canister filter in a closet elsewhere, but I’ll never pull that off.

I also wish I had grown up in a proper redneck family instead of a college educated redneck family because I could have learned so much if I’d had an Uncle Doug to teach me cars or a Papa Harle to teach home construction. Instead I’m doing it all by internet.

-in as much detail as I can muster and take it to one of the ford ranger forums.

The stupid things are nigh infinitely fixable, but I simply do not have that knowledge pool & can only gather strictly by trial and error.

I hate poverty & wish I could have the whole thing tuned up stem to stern.

It's a monkey's paw wish to do well with art because inevitably that means reaching people around the world. But that also means that "your" people...are around the world.

I wish a lot of things, but some of them are I wish we were all less scattershot, that traveling was more common/affordable, and that cons had not become quite so huge and expensive. I feel like I need to make art in the real world, see friends in the real world, and build more in the real world.

-anything online anymore." I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I feel I need to go back to living in a world of what I build in my house, of libraries, of what I find in the book store, in directly chatting with friends instead of the "only if you want to" format of Bluesky, of analog art...

Have I missed a new round of BS the last couple weeks of limited internet?

I'm dependent on online community too. It's brutal pulling up stakes so often. I hope folks will at least stick out the holidays. I'm not sure there's anywhere else to go now; I think all will be scattershot.

Hats off to you sir you have solved my challenge and now Bombadil gets to be on the table as a dog name! Genuinely thank you. :) it’s important to me that dogs have a good Real Name but also whatever it gets shortened to sounds good too.

This is one of the truest posts I've read in a long time. I indeed tripled down to just be ME when I was really hitting some walls in improvement. Best thing I ever did.

—becoming obvious how bad most adults are at understanding what they’re looking at without training. Way too many autistic adults didn’t get diagnosed as kids because they weren’t a big enough “problem” to be properly tested & even then accommodations are…variable in quality & application I’ll say.

I am horrified you had this treatment because I clocked you as the exact opposite the very first time I heard you speak aloud. Like “holy shit - a peer!”. You’re exactly the kind of friend I’d have met in my gifted classes when I was a kid. I’m deeply sorry you got such treatment. But then it’s—

YESSSSS YES YES YES a thousand times yes 👏

In terms of -already existing- art?

1) Finishing the rabbit mask pattern instructions.
2) Finish a private commission.
3) Drawing up some cute tattoo ticket graphics.
4) Figuring out how I might do the listing on Squarespace
5) Figuring out a fair price for tattoo tickets.
6) Remembering it all.
