One time our kid got a new computer for Christmas and we didn't set it up until after his birthday in May. Your kid didn't hound you to set it up? That's some patience right there!

Ms. Spam Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 So fish are notorious for this. They like specific water and stuff. I used to keep aquariums. Probably stressed. The ones I get for school when we build an ecolarium are called cloud mountain or mountain cloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Skywalker Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Yeah, I'm thinking it was shock. The place has a 3 day guarantee. We will take them back tomorrow. We had them test the water ahead of time and they said it was fine. Supposedly they will need to test the water again but I'm really glad they tested it beforehand because if they come back and say our water was bad, that's sus. But when they gave us the bag it was super freaking warm, way hotter than what we read as the recommended temperature. So we may have to crank the tank up and bring it down over a few days. You can keep them at a warmer temperature but it makes their metabolism burn super fast and they can die sooner. But, it makes them look super active, which is what pet stores want you to see.

Gamevet Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 You're supposed to leave the container that the fish came in, sitting in the room until it reaches room temperature. Then you can transfer the fish over to the tank. We also use natural spring water, to fill our little tank for our Beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Skywalker Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Hmmm, the instructions didn't say anything about letting them sit out until they got to room temperature. I will ask for clarification when we go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I used leave the bag in the tank water to help stabilize the water temp for two hours before opening it and letting them free. Hopefully the next batch will be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamevet Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Yeah, my mother had a 40 gallon fish tank. She would put the bag in the tank for a little over an hour, before releasing the fish. They'll go in shock and die, if you don't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Skywalker Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Well so far this batch has lasted 9 hours, which might beat the previous record, but not sure when the others died in the middle of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I upgraded my PC last Saturday. I started at 3:30 and didn't have the system setup until around 8:30. And then it took about another 2 hours for Forza Horizon 5 (128GB) to download, so I didn't get to play any games on it until Sunday afternoon. I was very hesitant about doing this upgrade, but my 4 year old PC was starting to have weird software things going on. I needed to do a fresh install of windows to clear out some of the clutter, so it just made more sense to start from scratch. MicroCenter made it a very easy decision, since they were selling the i9-12900K with a Z690 Motherboard for $420. That was a very affordable upgrade.

Ms. Spam Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 OMG so jealous. I am still on the old desk top I got many years ago at home. The recent Windows 11 software is killing any kind of functionality. I hate doing private stuff on my school computer but I find I avoid using my home computer for stuff like taxes now because the schools computers and wifi can handle some of the things I do. Of course I have another issue. I have DSL at home but no home telephone and AT&T has decided to phase out support for DSL. So they're doing bad bandwidth service things for me and send me millions of letters letting me know I can get high speed for $55 (Five dollars more than I am paying now for the crappy internet they've been providing me for 12 years). It just pisses me off that for high speed it's just fiber out in the street. They did not run the line directly to my house so the high speed is only as good as the crappy wires they used to wire my 40 year old complex with.

Gamevet Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Most companies will run a new cable into your home. I told Verizon that I already had a Cat.5E cable ran into my office and they still ran a new cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I hope so. I need to upgrade prolly during spring break. SO I can actually use my stuff at home without raging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used most of my existing parts for the upgrade, so this 1440pp/144Hz desktop was running an Asus Strix RTX 3060 Ti OC. It's perfect for that resolution. I have an RTX 3090 in the 4K PC in the living room. I'm getting a 2 TB PCIe-4 x 4 NVME drive next Friday. Then the fun begins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went cuz my headaches have been getting worse, bad enough that we were worried it was something serious. CT scan came up clean so there’s no answer, but they’ve been killing me lately so I dunno.
