The kids were playing with oobleck earlier and after they were done I decided to see if it would stop my BBs. I ended up shooting it about 25 times total and only two made it all the way through the oobleck and the bowl. Why did I do this? Why not? Edit: My wife said she wanted an AEG for...

Happy new year, everyone!

Ok, I was wrong. I found an adapter rail for it. So I ordered that and a red dot sight. Now we wait.

I believe my words were taken too literally. I never meant to imply that an actual person was listening in, but rather your devices themselves are programmed to artificially listen for key words for ad targeting. Voice activation. It works in a similar fashion to how your search history results...

Unfortunately, the carry handle is not removable, so I can't install a red dot, otherwise I would. I'm stuck with the factory sights. The rear sight is a peep sight with a very, very small hole that my eyes cannot properly see through. I'll have to monkey with it if I'm ever going to use it for...

Although I don't have any experience with high tech aquariums (mine have always been low tech or, as I call it, medium tech with DIY sugar wash CO2 setups), I have played around with enough pressurized gasses to believe that you might be overreacting. I've worked with everything from pressurized...

My Lancer Tactical LT-01C FINALLY arrived. Overall it seems fairly sturdy, but my front and rear sights (front especially) is not secure and wobbles all over. That isn't good at all. I'm heading to bed now, but I'm going to take it to work tomorrow and try and figure out why it's loose. I'm...

If you need help selecting twigs to shove up your nose to complete the look, I can oblige.

Do you use a mobile device? They listen in to your private conversations.

Scammers got my mother about 5 years ago for $1,200. Called her in the middle of the night saying they were from the parent company that owned the electric company that supplied power for our restaurant and bar. They told her that if she didn't pick up $1,200 in Visa gift cards and give them the...

I am at work right now and I had a lovely 20 minute phone call about an hour ago with a group of phone scammers. Right off the bat I knew what was up when he introduced himself as "Robert Wells, Vice President of a government run company called "X' company", yet he sounded like he was a lifelong...

Then you're going to need a KMCS leaf suit. These things unreal! Next level stuff.

What about pea puffers? They are probably one of the cutest nano fish.

I just got to thinking. What about grass pickerel or maybe even a chain pickerel? Not quite my cup of tea, but they would definitely be an excellent centerpiece fish.

@Colin_T might be able to steer you in the right direction. He always has sound advice and is very knowledgeable.

Depending on the design of the tank (footprint is usually more important than height), I'd say you'd be fine with a betta, a sparkling gourami or a couple guppies or a small school of ember tetras. Shrimp would be a great choice as well! Not in combination, obviously. 16 gallons isn't very...

If I had a 500 gallon predator tank I would go with a native swamp theme: A bowfin, some pumpkinseeds, some yellow bullheads and a gazillion minnows of some sort. Lots of driftwood and planted heavily with native plants. Bowfin are the king of our swamps here. Truly prehistoric and downright...

I can definitely see your point. He was always playing with fire and we all knew an animal was going to be responsible for his downfall, but I don't think anyone expected a stingray. Normally when people think of deadly creatures they think snakes, spiders, lions, tigers, bears, oh my... I don't...

I agree. They aren't capable of being malicious or understanding that we mean them no harm. I still don't want to be friends with that stingray that killed Steve Irwin, but I wish him no ill will. And I agree with @Colin_T to slow down, especially at night, in areas known to have wildlife. We...

I rest my case.

Welcome to TFF! Looks like a red wag platy. Edit: Pheonix beat me to it.

Duckweed. Lots and lots of duckweed. :lol: I'll second the vals. Or if you're still looking once the weather warms up enough for shipping I'll give you all the hornwort you'll ever need. Or if you're near me in Ohio, I'll bring you some.

Males are a fraction of the size of the females and look completely different.

Next we can talk about how many of the world's most venomous snakes live in Australia. Even some of the mammals have venom! Plus a couple different crocodile species. Australia is a beautiful, interesting country, but everything there seems to be about to kill you.

Yup, just do it right the first time.

It can. I'm not saying it for 100% will, but it happens and I've ruined a couple regular scopes on spring powered pellet guns before I learned what was causing the problem. The mechanics between the airsoft and pellet rifle are the same. I'd personally get one specifically designed for the job...

Two words: Sexual dimorphism. ;)

Your spider is a female and a harmless species. Ginormous, but otherwise not really aggressive or pose a risk to humans. I'd capture her and release her outside. The redback spiders are in the same genus (Latrodectus) as our black widow spiders here in the United States. They possess a...

$70 is very cheap for a scope, actually. Don't ask what some of my optics cost. Just google Swarovski. ;) Heads up about choosing a scope for a spring powered air rifle. The recoil is different than a firearm. Kind of a reverse recoil. Make sure whatever scope you get is meant for this. I...

The come here. You'll eat like a king. I'll send you back across the border looking like a tick about to pop. I know how boys your age eat. I'm prepared.

Christmas is upon us. I know I'm not alone going all out on Christmas dinner. Although I do all the cooking in our home, I especially enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. This year I am going with just the basics. What is everyone else making for Christmas dinner? I'm breaking tradition...

Have you watched the Rev series by SwampSniper on YT? If not, you need to get on that. Next level nerdiness and I REALLY want to go! Here is chapter one of Rev 9:

Merry Christmas to all of y'all! I can't wait to watch my kids and nieces open their presents and I get to cook for the whole famn damily. I always go overboard with that. I work a double on Christmas, so we will be celebrating on the 28th this year because that's when our schedule aligns with...
