"This is just a lack of understanding. The process is called Jig Siding. Fishing boats regularly build up bacteria and unwanted scents from numerous expeditions. An effective and quick way to clean them thoroughly is to deactivate the outward bilge pumps and flood the pumps on the inward side. This throws off the buoyancy of the boat. The boat then soaks for 30 min to 1 hr at which point the pumps are reversed and the boat returns up right. ",

"> oat was overloaded\n> - tide caught it under the dock\n> - waves\n> - weather\n> - sea serpent\n\nTechnically yes, True tides—changes in water level caused by the gravitational forces of the sun and moon—do occur in a semi-diurnal (twice daily) pattern on the Great Lakes. Studies indicate that the Great Lakes spring tide, the largest tides caused by the combined forces of the sun and moon, is less than five centimeters in height.",

"Then let us make love underneath the starlight",
"This is actually a great day for the owner of the boat:\n\nThe two best days of owning a boat are the day you buy it and the day you sell it. But both pale in comparison to the day you declare it a total loss and get the insurance money for it.",

They are hurriedly running away so I just gave them the finger and said its really sad to lie about that shit.\n\nThey literally just get out put the notice and dip everytime.\n\nThe time before that the guy buzzed, I let him in...he didn't come up, calls me back and says \"are you coming down?\" \n\n\"Did I pay $30 for delivery or not?\" \n\n \"Ok i'm leaving anyway nvm\" \n\n\"well fuck you too\"",

If they still don't come I'm getting my next stop ready in the back of my truck. So after I ring the doorbell you got me for well over a minute. Standing around doing nothing isn't something my schedule allows. Also all routes are constructed with a certain time frame so yea it will take more time because I have to stop again tomorrow but that's tomorrow. I need to stay on pace for today.",

My local UPS store is sick of it too because people go there and are mad at them.

They sent a message to his electronic device saying the customer was requesting a re-delivery. He has the option to re-deliver, or not. He was being a good guy by re-delivering.

"Why should the UPS guy wait around for you to finish other stuff you are doing? They aren't a white glove delivery service that is going to wait while you finish your phone call or while you wipe your ass or finish the porn clip or polish off that last piece of pizza.

If each delivery caused them to wait around, the drivers would be out on the road each day until 10pm after starting at 8am.

It's unfair to expect that a delivery driver should stand around waiting while 200+ customers make him wait for all of their personal reasons. It's like traffic... it works because we all work together to have minimal impact. If you need to have more impact, you gotta pay for that.",

I can imagine why the UPS driver left. Saying \"fuck you too\" to him was classy. You better hope he's more mature than you were - being verbally combative is grounds to put you on the \"no deliver\" list. Which means that in perpetuity, you will need to pick up every package at the UPS depot. \n\nThen you'll have another irrelevant war to wage that you're right about, but actually wrong.",
"Statistically, USPS is much worse than UPS.\n\nUPS and FedEx have an error rate of well under 1%. It's more like 0.1%. USPS is about an order of magnitude worse. Also, USPS has worse tracking. They will show \"item in route to destination\" which is a false update meaning no scan was done on the package. Their tracking is much less detailed and gives USPS MUCH less ability to resolve issues compared to UPS (and FedEx). USPS does not guarantee delivery times for anything except Express - they tell you Priority is 2-3 days, but that's not guaranteed. It won't even be considered lost for 30 days. UPS and FedEx do guarantee all delivery times, including for ground. They also include insurance on all packages, USPS does not. Try calling UPS or FedEx - you can get someone in less than 1-2 minutes, at worst. Try calling USPS, hold times are at least 45 minutes or more. \n\nAnd because of the nature of USPS (unionization, quasi-governmental agency, lack of tracking, lack of all-points scanning), it is MUCH easier for packages to be stolen. And when a package is lost or stolen, you have essentially zero recourse with USPS. With UPS, a stolen package is a BIG deal. The driver will get involved and UPS/FedEx take loss prevention seriously. Out of tens of thousands of packages, I have had a single one get lost by UPS and I got paid for it (it was a fight and they are bastards for that). I have had at LEAST 100 go missing with USPS. I have never gotten any compensation or resolution from USPS on any of those packages, and they basically told me to pound sand. \n\nUSPS is much cheaper, but it's a much lower quality service. ",
"How bout you fuck off.",
">I've been told that once they pull up to the front of the property, their GPS shows \"they tried\" so they don't get in trouble with their boss and will just make up an excuse like the gate was locked/customer wasn't at home/area wasn't secured, etc. and instead of spending 30 minutes on a few packages in an apartment complex, they just drop them off at the nearest UPS store at once and make the customer go pick it up.\n\nhighly unlikely.\n\nIf the driver doesn't deliver a package, that package is back on his truck the next day. And then the next day. Every time a package is not delivered, that means another attempt must be made until the 3rd attempt when it will get held for a few days before being sent back. The LAST thing a driver wants is to have to come back. People don't understand this and they falsely accuse drivers of not ringing the bell or knocking - why would the driver want to have to come back? He had to specifically drive down your street to your house. He wants that package off his truck and not to have to redo the same thing tomorrow. \n\nAs for apartment complexes, things like you mention are fireable offenses. So is putting packages at the end of the driveway and saying it was left at the door, or leaving them in mailboxes. It happens on rare occasions, but the repercussions are so bad that drivers know not to do it. Drivers make good money - they almost always work overtime and are making $75k+ a year for a high school diploma level education and no skills required. It's not like they are going to make that money elsewhere. The no-no's are drilled into them daily.\n\nA driver who skipped a whole apartment complex and dropped all the packages at a UPS store would be in such trouble, I don't believe it would happen. Not out of laziness. Perhaps if the driver could not get into the building multiple times or there was some REALLY extenuating circumstances - but that is so far outside the norm that it wouldn't happen otherwise.",
"Because there is no upside for UPS. They don't want people watching their drivers and complaining that he could have come earlier because he was only 2 streets over (routes are dictated by UPS, driver doesn't get to choose his route and gets in trouble for going over mileage), or they saw him parked on a street for 30 minutes while they were home from lunch and the driver never delivered (but the driver was taking his lunch then too). Or the driver might be a street over but isn't coming down your street next - angry customer calls to complain. I don't see it helping UPS - would generate just as many annoyance calls and hassle as anything.\n\nFurthermore, UPS boards currently use cell network to communicate back to the home base. You are talking about a massive, massive increase in data. Not just from the boards to the depot, but from the depots to central servers and out to the public. UPS has over 110,000 vehicles. Tracking them in real time would be huge. I know Uber does it, but that's their core business... it's not UPS' core business. Think like a businessman - would this generate additional revenue for UPS? I say absolutely not.\n\nMost packages don't need someone home. Most are left at your door. ",
"> If the driver doesn't deliver a package, that package is back on his truck the next day. And then the next day.\n\nThat may have been the case in the past and maybe the case in some locations but in my case, after the FIRST attempt failed, it was taken to a UPS Accesspoint which was a UPS store a block away. When I called customer service I was told \"we've been doing this for years now!\" It's not as if they don't know how to come here either, I see the UPS truck parked in the parking lot right across from my window all the time so obviously they deliver here but if the workload is heavy that day, there is nothing stopping them from just dumping a few at the Accesspoint. \n\nIn my case, I actually went to the Accesspoint the next day and it wasn't there. I even stayed there till closing just to make sure all along the UPS customer service guy was telling me for sure it would be at the accesspoint and after closing, I gave up and told them to try my apartment again. Magically, 15 minutes later, when I got back to my apartment complex, I saw the truck and got the notice that it was delivered. \n\nYou're telling me not to believe my own eyes here. What's stopping them from dumping a few of their packages at the access point if they're running behind and have to go back to their wife for dinner that night? Sure they'd get fired if they did it every day but mixing it up a little? I doubt they will get noticed. ",
"Not true - yes the drivers are sent out with a lot of work to do sometimes, but bringing packages back without a delivery attempt is a HUGE no-no. Not quite a fireable offense, but almost. If a driver is so overloaded that he cannot make all his deliveries, he notifies the depot and they will have one or more drivers in surrounding areas who have a lighter load meet him and take some of his stops off him. If all nearby drivers are equally busy, supervisors will be sent out from the depot to alleviate his workload.\n\nIf a driver claims he tried to deliver your package but he did not, the GPS data will show if he was at your home. If he wasn't stopped at your house for a minute or two, they would know - that would be a fireable offense. But furthermore, the package will be on his truck again tomorrow for delivery attempt #2. And it will be on his truck the next day for delivery attempt #3. So a driver who is overloaded and stops at houses, doesn't ring bells and just claims \"nobody home\" isn't saving himself any time. He's making sure he will be even worse off tomorrow - because he will have to do all of tomorrow's stops as well as all of the ones he didn't deliver today.\n\nIt saves him zero time, as he can't just pull up to your house, come to a stop and then accelerate away - he has to spend a minute or two there, so why wouldn't they knock or ring the bell? There's literally zero incentive for the driver not to try to get you to come to the door and every incentive for him to try to deliver. The driver wants to deliver the package to you even more than you want him to deliver it - he wants it off his truck and he's already standing there. No way would they not ring the bell or knock. ",
"I call bullshit.\n\nWhat was your job at UPS? Were you a package delivery driver?\n\nA package brought back without a delivery attempt is a BIG deal. It will flag an exception and the driver will get called into the supervisors office the next morning to explain that. And it better be a really good explanation (like \"package wasn't on the truck but was found back at the depot\"). If the driver tries to BS or claim he made an attempt, they WILL check the GPS data from the board. If no stop was made at the address, that is a fireable offense.\n\nWhy would drivers doorbell ditch anyone? For what reason? The package is gonna be on their truck again tomorrow and the next day. Unless it's a fill-in driver just trying to fuck-over the guy who normally does the route, there's no way that would happen. And if a fill-in did that, it would be a write up at least. They have to go to the door, so why not ring the bell? \n\nIt's true they are trained to start filling out the info notice as soon as they ring the bell and leave when it's filled out. Yep, takes maybe 20-30 seconds at most. That's a reasonable time to get to the door. Drivers can't stand around waiting for people to finish their shit or their phone call.",
"Bullshit.\n\nUPS drivers are teamsters union employees and this is most definitely not part of the union contract.\n\nYou're making stuff up.",
"Standard practice is the driver is to leave the package unless they specifically feel it is unsafe to do so. In this case, they don't ring the bell.\n\nThey would only ring the bell if it's signature required or the driver feels it's unsafe to leave it (high value or some other reason he feels it's unsafe to leave it). If they delivered to an access point instead, then he was likely being a good guy driver by saving you a trip to the depot for something he didn't feel comfortable leaving that time, for whatever reason.",
"They do hire enough help.\n\nThey don't hire enough drivers to have the drivers stand at your door for 2-3 minutes tapping their foot while you finish your shit or wrap up your phone call to honey-bunny before answering the door.\n\nYou have options, you can have the package held, re-routed to your work, delivered to a drop-box, delivered to a local convenience store, you can sign the infonotice to have it left without your being there, you can sign up for add-on services at additional cost to let you schedule delivery at a specific time and/or be notified shortly before the package is delivered.\n\nYou sound like you want your cake and eat it too - you want the Cadillac service at the 1982 Honda cost.

",
"You also claimed he did it to avoid carrying it to your door and that he was \"made\" to come back. On the former, I think if you consider the matter logically, you'll see there was no malice on the drivers part and it makes sense not to haul a heavy table when there's a likely chance of you not being home. On the latter, drivers are not made to come back. The customers' request is forwarded to them and if they choose to do a solid for the customer, they made choose to go back if they have the time. It actually counts against them because it puts them over their mileage for the day.\n\nMy point is that you've already attached malice to the situation that isn't there.... I submit that it's likely the driver knocked or pressed the bell button (perhaps not fully and it didn't ring?) and started writing the note - as is standard practice. If you separate out your obvious (and not unreasonable) anger over the situation, you'll see that the driver has no incentive not to ring or knock and every incentive to ring or knock. The table will just be on his truck again the next day and the next, and \"I was home, the driver didn't even knock!\" is probably the most common complaint drivers get... the depots are flooded with such complaints and the drivers are often inundated with redelivery requests... the drivers aren't getting ahead or getting away with anything if they don't ring/knock - it's to their detriment to do so.",
"Well, on the one hand you have drivers making hundreds of deliveries per day who have no incentive to sneak to a house and leave a non-delivery note and they have every incentive to try to get the recipient to answer the door. You also have the fact that if they were regularly ditching deliveries, they would be written up and could lose their job, not to mention creating additional work for themselves by guaranteeing they have to re-deliver the next day. On the other hand you have a small number (relatively speaking) of people who call the depot and perpetually say the same thing \"The driver didn't even knock/ring!\". If it were true, drivers would be getting fired left and right.\n\nSo the logical conclusion is that the driver most likely did try to get your attention but you simply did not hear it. Perhaps he knocked and you didn't hear. Or maybe he rang the bell but didn't push the button hard enough. Some drivers beep the horn as they pull up out-front. But the point is, I am very familiar with the inside details of UPS operations and discuss these issues at length with numerous drivers often, and I hear all the stories from the drivers side, including the number of calls to the depot claiming they didn't knock/ring or snuck on the porch and left an infonotice. Drivers just don't do it. There's no reason for them to.\n\nI am sure you believe this is what happened, but the much, much more likely explanation is you just did not hear whatever notice the driver attempted to give and are levying a charge that's illogical and likely untrue but very widely believed because people don't think it through.",

And the reason you had to drive 20 minutes is because you were a dick to the driver. If you weren't a dick, you could have called UPS, gotten a callback from the depot who would have gotten the driver to come back or had the package re-routed to a drop-box, or to a convenience store near you or let you meet the driver somewhere along his route, etc. But when you're giving the finger to the guy and telling him to fuck off? Yeah, nobody is going to do anything for an entitled prick like that.\n\nAnd I am the angry one? Your lesson for the day is that nobody cares what you think or how you think things should be done. If you ever get to be in charge of something, then you can run it the way you want - and if your way is truly better, you'll make lots of money. Then you can cap your wealth and make sure you keep your salary low to hit your ratios... you'll have to get rid of the money in the corporate bank account or else it will kill your wealth cap ratio, but you can voluntarily give it to the government or distribute it here on Reddit... I have no doubt you will put your money where your mouth is when you are in that position and will not feel that you are entitled to the fruits of your own labor.\n\n",

I get it - you're one of those people who is never wrong and isn't interested in logic. Meanwhile, I doubt you were stationed motionless in silence all day waiting for the UPS guy - he probably beeped his horn pulling in while you were taking a dump - you're just too arrogant to consider the conclusion you jumped to first makes no sense.

You figured it out!",
"Listen when you have a billion dollars you can complain about my wealth caps.\n\nNo one who is a \"wealth creator\" did shit by themselves. They were all educated and protected by society. The only reason anyone has billions is because society is stable enough for them to sell their products. The courts work (kinda), the police and fire dept do their jobs, road crews and roads allow customers and workers to get to businesses. Public education provides a work force that is educated enough to create that wealth. Government backed science (you know...the internet, GPS, micro-processors) created an environment for private business to innovate upon basic research funded by the government.\n\nLiterally not a single person who is worth a billion dollars would be worth that much without the framework of government and society.\n\nIts generally part of the social contract that we all rely on one another to succeed. The reason there are so many problems today is because even though vast wealth is being created the vast majority accrues to a minuscule percentage of humanity.\n\nWe've already tried the path of unbridled corporate bullshit and ignorant political apathy. It ended up with a nationalist world war, unbridled corporate greed and a massive depression..another nationalist war and 40 years of the specter of nuclear annihilation.\n\nNow everyone's forgotten about how we got to the stable corporate friendly, vast middle class society we take for granted and we are literally headed down the same path as before.\n\nI only lack respect for people who aren't doing the job they get paid for. For people who lie about trivial things like my door buzzer being broken as a reason why they didn't even attempt to deliver my goods. Why someone acts like I\"m the asshole for expecting a delivery driver to come to my door?\n\nYou claim to run a business. If a shipper showed up in your front parking lot and just said \"Oh shit they aren't here I guess\" then left, multiple days in a row without even trying to see if your business was open or when they do try, you say \"sure come unload at the dock\" and they just decide \"nah you better come to the front parking lot I dont have the time\". \n\nHow would you react to that? Assume that you are using a third party shipping service to get raw materials. (you aren't the customer, the company you bought from is).\n\nWould you perhaps be angry that a service you paid for was not only shitty but they try to blame you for the delay in delivery as well. When in fact you've done literally all things you need to do in order to make their job as easy as possible.\n\nIf your employee lies to your face about something at your business do you say \"oh you tried your best, don't worry about it\"?\n\nedit: Or rather...If your employee lied to your customers face, then blamed the customer for the problem caused by your employee...how would you react?",
"I did get my fucking package by the way. They lied about the buzzer being broken after being in my building already.

You've conflated 2 separate instances with 1 event.",
"I know all about their job, my buddy has been a delivery guy for five years. But the fact is in this case they're walking up ringing then bell and off before you can get to the door.

I've literally been outside with my dog, see amazon and UPS pull up together and UPS just gets out and puts stickers up while amazon gets buzzed in. While there are 5+ notes saying \"Please buzz we are home!\" on the front door, from different people expecting UPS.\n\nUPS is the only carrier I've ever had consistent problems with. They also make it practically impossible to pre-pay customs fee's. To compare...DHL sent me a text message with a link to pay my fees, and a text when the shipment was on truck, then one when it was <1 hr away. Then a delivery confirmation after.",

A profit-driven approach to public services cannot provide services that can't generate a profit. Healthcare falls under this category in my opinion. The point of a hospital is to heal people, not make money for shareholders. Profit-driven hospitals can only generate profit at significant costs to quality of service and the work environment for the employees.",
"Until FedEx (or similar companies) will be willing to deliver parcels and mail to remote and scarcely inhabited destinations at a loss, it can't compete with a public service that was designed to perform a service, not generate a profit for some rich fratboy who owns the company.\n\nCompanies are designed to make money. Public services are designed to provide public services. One can make money, the other will cost money. Capitalists should know their place in the world and stay there, and stop trying to get rich from dismantling public services like they did in Russia in the 1990s.",

Confirmed same with driver when he stopped by this afternoon.\nFifth, as I said you're trolling.",

"Not all aquatic plants are rooted, or may not have true roots (roots will attach them to the substrate, but not be acting as nutrient absorbers as in many terrestrial plants). All plants will use some oxygen at night, but not enough to deplete what they produce during the day as long as you have enough light and co2 during the day to allow enough oxygen production. A heavily planted tank can have much more oxygen saturation from the plants than you can possibly get from water turnover through filtration and aerators without plants, so still water is not an issue in that respect. The amount of saturation you get will also depend on the temperature of the water. \n\nPeople with heavily planted tanks generally don't want very much water movement, especially at the surface. Surface turbulence will allow oxygen exchange from the air, but it will also allow the injected co2 to offgas into the air and you need the proper amount of co2 and light for heavy plant growth and oxygen production. They will also be adding the proper amount of nitrogen and other nutrients such as potassium through fertilizers (The fish produce ammonia, but generally not enough in a heavily planted tank. Plants with lots of co2 and light deplete nutrients extremely quick.)\n\nPeople that maintain lush planted tanks will be constantly monitoring the levels of pretty much everything. Co2, potassium, ammonia/nitrites/nitrates, oxygen, iron, etc.. There are even real time digital monitors you can place in tanks now. The lights will also be on timers and they may be on longer than a natural daylight cycle, meaning the night time hours are shortened. Also keep in mind that even after the lights go out the plants won't *immediately* stop producing oxygen and start consuming it. \n\nI have almost 15 years in the hobby at this point. I can provide resources if anyone wants more in depth information. :)\n\nEdit: I should add that the tank in the OP isn't what I'm talking about. Not nearly heavily lighted or planted enough to rely strictly on the plants. That tank has an aerator and/or filter built in, as well as the top being fully exposed to the air for oxygen exchange. I'm just saying it's possible to rely on plants. ",

You have to add very high light levels for that type of growth. The lights those people use are comparable to my high output reef lights, but in a different spectrum of course. ",

"Low fish populations with lots of water surface area and the right mix of emergent and submerged plants can provide plenty of Oxygen.

"In addition to what u/Lillipout and u/BGFalcon85 said, they likely would have been keeping fish that can survive in lower oxygen levels and sub-optimal conditions, such as goldfish (there's a reason they've been popular for so long) or similarly hardy species. Goldfish, guppies, and many other species, will also \"gasp\" at the top to take advantage of the more oxygenated water near the surface (they're not breathing air like some species, but using the dissolved oxygen at the surface of the water); since the surface of the tank is open that will help with oxygen exchange. Species that can use atmospheric air would have also been an option (such as gouramis, certain catfish, certain eels, loaches, etc.). Fish weren't the only organisms kept, there were also amphibians and invertebrates, many of which can utilize air. \n\nIn any case, you're right about adequate oxygen production through plants being an issue back then. They would have had to be very conservative about the amount of fish they kept due to their reliance on natural oxygen exchange through plants (which would be reliant on natural sunlight), and air exposure. \n\nAngelfish, tetras, discus as shown in the picture above, and other more sensitive fish really only became popular with more modern aquarium filtration, which was invented in the early 1900s. \n\n",

"[it's called Turritopsis dohrnii](https://immortal-jellyfish.com/)",
"It's really not all that time consuming or expensive. I have two planted aquariums, one cold water and one tropical. You can get started with a moderate sized tank for a pretty reasonable price. There are starter kits out there with a 110 liter (24 gallon) tank, filter, heater, thermometer and water treatment for £99 (I'm UK based but I assume there are similar in the U.S.)\n\nIf you drop about the same again on substrate, rock and plants you will have the makings of a very nice looking tank that you can add to in future if you want to. I'd recommend something like two large 9L bags of Tropica Aquarium Soil and 12 KG of dragon stone to get you started (sorry, I don't have the measurement in *freedom units*). The soil is a complete solution so you don't need layered substrate or sand, and dragon stone is easy to manage and has nice crevices for small plants etc. although Glimmer Wood or Lava Rock are pretty popular choices as well.\n\nOnce planted, it's really a case of just letting the plants grow and establish themselves and then trimming them back from time to time. If you set aside an hour a week, you'd be able to get everything done easily including water changes, filter cleaning, algae scraping etc. And if on the odd occasion you miss a week or two it's going to be fine.\n\nSome people will tell you you need CO2 injection systems and plant food etc. but if your tank is well lit and not too densely packed with plants they'll be absolutely fine. I have a CO2 system in my tropical tank, but I've had it disconnected for the last 6 months and had no issues at all.\n\nI travel A LOT for work (looking through my airline app I took over 50 flights in the last 12 months) and I'm sometimes away for a couple of weeks. On those occasions I use an automatic feeder that drops a small amount of food each day, and a plugin timer to turn the lights off at night.\n\nAquascaping, being an aquirist, fish-keeping, whatever you call it, is a pretty forgiving hobby and one of the few things you can actually fit around a busy schedule, so don't let it put you off!",

"I haven't kept aquarium plants in a long time, so I wouldn't know what brands to recommend. When I was doing it they were all pretty unreliable, but I've heard they got a lot better. I mostly used reagent tests for everything, and they're still going to be the most reliable, not to mention cheapest. I use API and Seachem. Digital monitors get very expensive very quickly. You can spend hundreds of dollars for just one reliable one, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend them unless you're doing a pretty advanced setup anyway. \n\nI will say that the most common reasons for plants not thriving is incompatible species for your setup and insufficient light levels and/or spectrum. There are some very hardy low-light plants that you can keep in the average aquarium with run-of-the-mill lighting, such as java moss and java fern, but many require more even though stores will recommend them to you regardless. You also have to watch out because they will sell plants that are not fully aquatic as fully submersible, and those plants will die over time when kept fully submerged; lucky bamboo is a major one, and that's not a fully submersible plant. \n\nThere is really more than I can get into in a single post for beginners though. /r/PlantedTank has a section in the sidebar with all kinds of information for those wanting to get started.

",
"In a tropical tank I use a thermostatic heater all year round - most tropical fish need a water temperature of at least 24 degrees and it's best to try to keep it as constant as possible as big fluctuations can stress or even harm the fish. In the UK high temperature is rarely a problem as our summers don't generally get that hot, but it's a good idea to keep tanks out of direct sunlight so that the water temperature never gets above the ambient air temperature. Always keep a thermometer in the tank so that you can occasionally check the temperature. Keeping the lid off in summer (assuming you don't have a cat!), turning off the lights and fans can help to keep the temperature down if you live in a crazy hot place.\n\nIf you opt for a coldwater setup, common goldfish are fairly hardy beasts. Aside from my tanks, I also have several thriving common goldfish in an outdoor pond and it occasionally freezes over in winter, so they should have no major problems with a tank being a little cooler at times. There are special food types that you can give goldfish that will \"fatten them up\" a little for colder weather although this is probably only necessary if you're keeping them outdoors like mine. One issue with colder water though is that a goldfish can become more docile and instinctively sit on the bottom of the tank to conserve their energy so you don't get the nice display of happy, swimming fish you're looking for.\n\nThe most important thing to bear in mind is not to overstock your tank. Not only will this cause issues for the fish, but you're making more work for yourself because the nitrite and nitrite levels will rise more quickly needing more maintenance. Make sure you take advice on this seriously and go to a reputable fish retailer or try places like /r/aquariums. Also get the right advice about the types of fish to keep together as they need to get along and not harass or attack each other.",

"Start [here](https://www.fishlore.com/NitrogenCycle.htm) (note, it's multiple pages, make sure to click through).\n\nThe nitrogen cycle is outright the most important piece of information in keeping a tank. Your fish waste has to be filtered and converted into a less toxic form, otherwise ammonia will build up and they will die. This is done through culturing bacteria in your filter media that convert ammonia (what your fish initially produce in their waste) into nitrites, which are converted to less toxic nitrates. \n\nThe link lists a few ways to get it started, but the only one I've used for years is taking media from a healthy established aquarium and putting it in my new filter.\n\nYou will need a [test kit](https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B000255NCI/ref=twister_B078KCVWCH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) to get started and monitor ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates. Once everything is established you will really only need the nitrate test unless you notice something wrong. You also will want to buy [dechlorinator\n](https://smile.amazon.com/Seachem-116043304-Prime-500ml/dp/B00025694O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1515151403&sr=8-2&keywords=dechlorinator) unless your tap water doesn't contain chlorine or chloramines (it almost certainly will unless you're on well water). \n\nOnce you understand the nitrogen cycle and have your filter going everything else is relatively simple. Feed the fish (don't overfeed), siphon solid waste out of your substrate every so often (I tend to use clean quartz pool sand because waste sits on top to be siphoned off rather than falling underneath like with gravel), clean solid waste off your aquarium filter cartridges, and less often the media (do this with dechlorinated water, you don't want to kill the beneficial bacteria) and do water changes to keep your nitrates low.\n\n/r/Aquariums has all kinds of information in the sidebar.

She left my fairly bright LED lighting setup on for 2 weeks straight and I came back to algae hell, but after a fair amount of work with a scraper and scrubbing my rocks with a toothbrush, the tank was pretty much back to normal within 24 hours.\n\nDead fish? Hmm, that would be bad luck if it happened early in your absence, but a single death would be manageable.

"Gas exchange is cool. For an extreme thing, there's something called a ammonia fountain.\n\nA canister of ammonia gas has a small spout inserted in it, with water.\n\nAs you blow a little bit of water in, it binds with the ammonia so quickly that the water doesn't even get to land, before is converted to ammonia (base). Because this uses some of the ammonia gas, the pressure is lowered, and the water is pushed into the canister by atmospheric pressure. The speed of the water directly correlates with the speed of things happening at the gas/water interface.\n\n[Link to video](https://youtu.be/X1BktOPsc7g).",

"The two biggest factors here are ...\n\n1. Surface to volume ratio - Gas exchange happens where air and water meet. The more surface area in comparison to the total volume of water there is, the better gas exchange is. This tank's short & squat design provides extensive surface area compared to its volume.\n\n2. Appropriate stock - Keep oxygen demands at a reasonable level, and they can't be depleted under normal circumstances. Aquariasts take in to consideration the full adult size of the fish they add to the tank, as well as other factors like the fishes' metabolism, and other factors when deciding which fish and how many to add. Additionally, for a long-term display, they would stick to the low end of stock levels just to be safe.\n\nAnother understated factor, but one that doesn't actually contribute directly to oxygenation is developing and maintaining a thriving microbial community - Good bacteria (and other microscopic critters) help keep fish waste and bad bacteria in check. They keep the water clean, and minimize \"bad\" gases that deplete oxygen.\n\nThe plants do contribute oxygen during the day, but at night they deplete it and produce CO2 just like the animals, so all these answers saying it's about the plants are overstating the value of the plants for their oxygen contribution. The plants help in many ways, of course. They provide a surface substrate for microbes (already mentioned why this is important), they keep the fish relaxed and healthy (thus lowering their oxygen demand), and they help absorb excess nutrients from the water.\n\nAdditionally, while there may have been a pump on this back in the day as others mentioned, that pump would have been more for aesthetics than actually being functional. It certainly would have helped with oxygenation and overall gas exchange, no doubt about that, however, it wouldn't have been run continuously seeing as how it would have been manually operated. I'm also sure that there are regular cleanings and water changes, and those contribute by agitating the water's surface similar to the way a manually operated pump would.\n\nAs long as you are reasonable and know the constraints, having a tank without air pumps and mechanical filters is entirely possible, as these things aren't needed if you have the right tank, stock, and care routine.",

"This is so cool love it. Also,\nThis might just be me. So take the following as you will.\n\nI wouldn't start small on the price scale of things , while it is a nice way to get into without robbing your pockets. \nIt is also kind of fairy tale to some / most beginners and is unfair to the fish and most of the time lethal to them as well.\n\nYou should do a lot of research not only on a tank and the fish but on where you live weather / indor temps through the seasons / etc. and what you can reasonably handle in your water bill supposing you have one. \n\nUnfortunately a lot of the time people starting out will end up with a fish dying and then turn and drop out of the hobby right away , which is where i believe most of the misinformation and distaste for the hobby comes from. from the pain of losing a pet , even a child often has the base understanding of taking care of a life and with so many different things that can kill fish its a hard start more often then not . \n\nTank changes are the biggest reason I suggest saving up and starting at least mid range , Tank moves are the most stressful for a fish and usually one of the most stressful pieces for the owner as well. \n\nAre the water levels ok? , whats the tempature in each tank? anything new that can make the fish sick , is the filtration running through properly . and on and on. \n\nPersonally I only took care of fish for my uncle and man do I miss his set up. It was something I doubt I will ever see again , Running around the outside of his house the whole way around was a pond? the best way i can describe it is a long 2 or 3 foot deep set of lined and treated gardening / planting boxes that had been turned into this make shift out door aqua scape , and the front of the house had a closed in mud room that was heated which the 'pond' also ran into through the floor with reinforced glass. \n\nThe mud room also had 2 tanks in it , i was a kid i dont remember the exact type of fish anymore in the tanks only that back then there were 4 in each tank and they looked big enough to eat my hand . The pond had 'koi' and a ton of small black fish as well. \n\nI still remember how upset he was when he had to move due to his health , he couldn't take any of the koi and out of the 8 in the two tanks he lost 3 , 1 during the move and the other two to something he simply couldn't figure out in the new tanks before he broke them down built new ones himself . \n\nIt's just worth considering that there's alot to the hobby that can take a toll on you in the long run , so starting somewhere that will keep it on your mind intently in my view is the best place to start . \n",

"I'd agree with the other posters about aquarium/fish-keeping being low maintenance... if you do it perfectly from the start and that requires experience. You can do all the reading in the world, but you're still going to make mistakes when you first get into the hobby and if you're not around to fix those mistakes, it's living animals that pay the price.\n\nPersonally, I got into aquaria when I was unemployed, so I got to make a lot of those mistakes when I had the time to fix them. But once I got a full-time job, I found it exhausting to try and keep up with my two (relatively) small fish tanks.\n\nThe thing to keep in mind about aquariums... like anything else, things can break. But when things break in aquariums, you have a lot of water/plants/animals that need to be dealt with **now**. I had a 50 gallon saltwater tank that sprung a small leak in the plumbing in the middle of the night after my first day at my new job.... I woke up at 3 am to my pump sucking air.\n\nI didn't have the option to just turn off the pump and go back to bed... my fish and corals would have all died. So I spent the 4-5 hours I had before work started transferring anything living into a back-up 20 gallon, the extra rock into a tub with an aerator, and cleaning up the water that had spilled. Freshwater is more forgiving, but accidents can still happen.\n\nI do not think aquaria is a hobby that should be undertaken by someone who won't be around to deal with issues immediately. There are \"smart\" tanks, where you can set up probes to tell you if the pH, temp, etc change remotely... but you'd still need to have to have some way to respond to those things.",
"Both are a pound :P ",
"Wouldn’t the cast iron rust from all the water?",
"I've got a cast-iron stove and I went through the company catalogs to learn more about it and date it, so I can say you're entirely correct. Just like today they didn't change their models every year, and reused parts all the time. \n\nIn my case they produced the stoves in [many different sizes](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/31/Bolindermuseet%2C_Hundraserien%2C_2014.jpg), and the parts are stamped with with models they belonged to. So the top of my stove has stamps saying 101, 102, 106 while the door is stamped 101, 102. \n\nOn an aside, I think a lot of the larger and more niche items were produced on-demand as well. The catalogs should probably be read as what they had patterns for, rather than what they had in stock.\n\n",

I got 400 lb of rock(which isn't quite as much as you'd think but still alot) for the same price I could've gotten one pound. \n\nBuying some things specialized just seems silly to me\n\n\nEdit:just realized you were talking about wood, not rocks. And to anybody who's worried about stoned hurting their fish, what I've researched basically says makes sure there is no rust or copper on the rocks. Will they dissolve and change your ph? Yes but it's a very slow process and regular water changes will mitigate any effects. Do you do anything to treat your wood? I used to boil it when I used wood but haven't in a while, it will still leech tannins no matter how long I book. Sorry for the wall of text. I'm planning a long overdo rescape and I'm stoked",

"Holy shit that is the coolest ",
"Yeah, I'm not surprised some of the wealthy would have gone that route to keep them more heavily stocked and more impressive. It would depend on the planting and fishload. People already knew about balanced aquariums through plants that didn't require constant water changes, but that required very conservative stocking. \n\nIt's similar even nowadays. There are people that limit their fish and grow lots of plants, and then there are people that keep a very heavy fishload but set up water exchange systems to drip new water in 24/7. \n\nMe and my husband are more like the latter, but we didn't have a water exchange system set up (considered it but never got around to it). We often kept a heavy fishload, but we changed out large amounts of water with a siphon and put it back in with a hose. Water is super cheap here so that was viable for us, for others that'd be very expensive (especially on a 220g tank like we have). Water exchange systems although they're changing out a bit of water every day and putting in new actually use less water in general, but you have to put more effort and money into your initial setup.

Other than that we had some loaches, a plecko, some tetras, a betta, nothing big or fancy. The swords broke the tank up pretty well in sections so everyone had plenty to do. Other than that we just let it do its thing. Occasionally pruned off deaad leaves. I think we had a couple of moss balls in there too. It really was the easiest tank ever and it was gorgeous. It's was about 15 years ago.",
"Your water level is low! 😉\n\nIt looks great though! Prune any dead leaves and make sure you have cleaner fish with shrimp. Our shrimp never lasted, I think they were snacks to a tank mate, so they weren't an issue. NEVER GET RAMSHORN OR TRUMPET SNAILS. Apple snails are fine, but you will never get rid of the others. Grab some cory cats if you can. They clean the sand with their gills and they can be fun to watch. Spread what you've got into a 55g and watch it fly. It'll be gorgeous and you'll never want to stop looking at it. We kept a couple of tetra schools (angelfin, neon, blackskirt) and they handled they top and mid tank sections. Your loaches and cats will hang at the bottom so not all of your fish are in one space. We have a smaller tank now but we have the same loaches! They're about 20 years old now! You don't see them much but they last forever. Multies are fun little fish too! Man, I didn't realize how much I missed that tank. 😞",
"You could trim it a bit to thin it out, it’d make some more space available. You could even trim it and then separate it and the swords into two each to have a set on each side of the tank. Might give more space for the fish to get around in. ",
"Cory cats, for sure. Get like 3 though, they like to hang out together. The best fish we had for snail control were our clown loaches, by far. Again, get about 3 so they can hang out. They also grow very slowly so if you get small ones, you’ll have a few years before you’ll need to give them more space. Be aware though: clown loaches are ridiculously prone to ick in the first few weeks from the stress and environment change. They’re pretty hearty after that but that initial ick is a definite possibility. They’re one of my favorite fish and it’s totally normal for them to make clicking noises, especially when they’re eating. It’s pretty cool! ",
"I do not.. my plants haven't reached that stage yet. I do LOVE the wild look though!",
"Water lettuce is the stuff floating on top. It actually gets really big too. Just one of those will grow to take up the whole surface of that tank. ",
"It is from the video op had linked, do you know what the no context sub is all about?",
"Yeah it’s about statements that sound totally wild when taken out of context but this doesn’t really fit that bill.",
"Yeah it most definitely does. I don't know in what universe that would be a normal combination of words for you.",
"I mean even by itself it’s pretty easy to assume the context would be a thread about aquariums. Lol",
"I had some anubias and they never thrived, just barely hung on. Moneywort did pretty well but then hair algae showed up and went insane and I couldn't get rid of it. The moneywort was ok despite all the hair algae but the tank looked awful with all the algae so it was just really frustrating for all the effort I put in to the tanks over time. Everything else died well before that. I have heard of the Walsted method but I am thinking if I didn't have much luck using filters and etc then I wouldn't have luck with Walsted either. \n\nIt's possible that the water here is just terrible, we have had a lot of issues with the water looking brown and seeing boil water notices put up by the company on multiple occasions. Needless to say I filter all our drinking water, but doing the same for my tanks seemed like way too much trouble and more money than I wanted to invest after failing at it so much. I got burned out on the hobby after all that.",

"The scary thing is that there are places where pumping yourself is ILLEGAL. I haven't even seen a full service gas station in the past 15 years. Who the hell doesn't pump their own gas",
"Also, since you can only pump your own gas in a few costal counties and only between the hours of 6pm and 6am the sun wouldn't even be out.",
"Would you mind elaborating on how it works? Do you actually hand the pumper your debit/credit card? How do you punch in the zipcode, pin number? I assume you have to tip these people, do you tip based on amount spent or just the trip? Can you pump your own gas anywhere, or are there both types, self serve and notself serve? What are the demographics?",
"I'm pretty sure hella rich people dont pump their own gas. /s",
"No tips, yes you just give them the card. They pay at the pump. No you really can't pump you're own.\n\n*edit. Also we can't spell ",

"I'm a lifelong Oregonian. I went to California once two years ago and had to pump my own gas for the first time, and haven't since. Today is the first I'm hearing of this gas nonsense, and I just got a fill up from a lovely petroleum transfer specialist at Costco earlier today. What is supposed to be happening?",

"I know America insists on doing these things differently, but in most countries they hand you one of [these](https://goo.gl/images/UgLsnB) to enter a PIN on. To my knowledge it's mostly developing countries that tend to have compulsory attendants though. And we do tend to tip, but the equivalent of like 50c or $1 for a full tank, depending on whether the attendant also cleans the windscreen, and checked tyre pressure, oil and water. ",

"See, this.. this is scary. Want to know why? These people aren't self aware.\n\nThey are self absorbed. They dont exist in a world of interactions. They have had thousands of opportunities to watch someone else do it for them, but not once have they bothered, because there is no curiousity left for these people. \n\nThey are sated by constant bombardment of ads, social media, news, pop up ads, a constant non stop flow of white noise that soaks your brain in inconsequential garbage, rotting it from the inside out, and turning everyone into a consumer. \n\nMeanwhile the real world of reality, of decisions, consequences, actions, reactions, the quest for knowledge and the accumulation of wisdom just doesnt happen. People are cattle, herded into groupthink, while being waited on hand and foot, and then one day something as common place as having to fill your own tank comes along, and the entire process breaks down.\n\nAnd it will be someone elses fault, as the concept of responsibility doesn't exist, as it can be passed on to others because of the built in narccisim that social media creates.\n",
"Wtf you are not refueling your own cars in America? Someone else do that?",
"Are people really that stupid?",
"No, 95% of America pumps their own gas. Oregon and apparently New Jersey are weird and can't pump their own gas.",

"Narcissistic morons can be either infuriating or hilarious. I choose the second.",
"If you want the real answer it's because making it legal would put a bunch of gas station attendants out of jobs.",
"I beg to differ. I lived in Portland for many years and now Seattle, and I routinely wear aloha shirts when it's much colder than 46. Sometimes even shorts. I mean, you're going from a heated car to a heated building. As long as you have emergency clothes in case you break down, might as well dress comfy. ",
"No. No you don't. It takes forever. Two attendants for 10 cars is awful. And if you try to do it yourself they come screeching across the lot at you.",
"They only do it if you ask them to.",
"This is the first I'm hearing about it, really appreciated their link to the article.",
"When I do this in Portland the guy just takes my card and doesn't require a PIN or a signature. But I only go to a store-run station where I also give them my loyalty card. Maybe they somehow trust that as ID verification. ",
"I see.",

"Lawyered!",
"God this reminds me of a story. \n\nA few years ago, I took a road-trip up the east coast with my partner. Right as we drove from New Jersey into New York, I decided to stop for some gas.\n\nThis middle-aged lady pulls up to the pump across the way in her Ford Focus with Jersey plates. She gets out of the car, talking loudly on her phone to someone about how ridiculous and dangerous it is for her to have to pump gas on her own. After figuring out the prepay, she walks over to the back of her car, grabs the nozzle with one hand, and ***YANKS*** on the fuel hose with the other hand. \n\n\n\nI'm not talking a little love-tug, she pulled on it like she wanted to take it home with her. \n\nI assume gas stations put an emergency separator valves in the hose so that gas won't come gushing out of a severed hose if someone drives away with the nozzle in the car. This lady pulled so hard that the emergency separator was activated and she and her vehicle were doused with all the remaining gasoline in the hose.\n\nShe immediately went on a tirade about how she was right about this being unsafe and that she was going to get the cashier in the minimart fired. It's really weird how we take simple actions for granted. Needless to say, I'm pretty sure she'll have a great dinner party story to tell all her friends back home about how every shouldn't need to pump her gas.",
"You give them your card, regardless of what it is they just run it as credit, I've only had a few where I had to key in a pin or give a zip code. If you are paying cash the nicer stations in nice areas will take your cash, but if it's in the hood, late at night, or a shitty gas station then you have to pre pay inside with cash. We don't usually tip gas pumpers, I had a GF that did it, she got maybe $5-$20 a day in tips, it's not expected. This is based on my experience in Oregon at least. Until now there has been only one place you can pump your own gas here; Spirit Mountain Casino, because it's on tribal land. ",
"It's way cheaper than California, and you can run into the convenience store to get a snack or play around on your phone while the gas attendant does all the work, some of them will even wash your windshield for you. ",
"I'm from Michigan and anything above 40 and I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt. ",
"We still don't have to pump our own in Portland, it's mainly the rural towns and areas that can't sustain a full-time attendant. \n\nBut still, with a t-shirt I call bullshit.",
"Jesus Christ what a fucking dipshit. ",
"Not only that, Portland isn't affected by this, only eastern counties are, and they have snow right now.",
"They could be a little more obvious, like on literally everything else that has an E-stop it's a giant red push button located right on the control panel. ",
">The scary thing is that there are places where pumping yourself is ILLEGAL\n\nthat is the normal for a gas station here, but I don't think a single person has been prosecuted for doing it.",
"Was she lusty? And a maid?",
"At first I thought she had an iPad on her side. Nope just a pole.",
"It's actually **counties** with less than 40k pop, not cities, so basically most of eastern Oregon and a few rural parts of the coast, and they can still be full service if they want. The idea is to allow people to pump their gas in places that are so rural there are no 24 hour gas stations anywhere nearby. Basically everyone in Oregon lives somewhere along I5, in Bend, or in one of the three or so decent sized coastal towns, the rest of the state is basically devoid of people, it's either forests or farmland with <1000 population towns that basically just have a gas station/convenience store every 40 miles or so. ",
"Why even tip such an insignificant amount of money that is basically an insultingly petty amount here. That's like half a candybar for a tip.",
"What a dumbass",
"I've driven in Oregon and it's nice not to have to get out and pump your own gas. If they are busy though you might get impatient and wish you could just start pumping it yourself. \n\nEDIT: Downvotes for acknowledging that there is a positive to full service? ",
"I first saw this picture a week or so ago on Facebook from some collage of a meme that essentially was joking that women didn't know how to pump gas properly. In other words, this is a what people like to call a /r/shitpost",
"As a person from oregon, it was funny the first time even knowing it was fake.\n\nI've now seen this posted like in 20 different places, it's becoming insulting.",
"I've lived in Oregon my entire life and it's never really bothered me. It's kind of nice when it's really cold outside. Also I've never met or heard of anyone who got in any kind of trouble for pumping their own gas. It's pretty common for people to just pump it themselves if the attendant doesn't get there fast enough. ",
"In Portland? No, it was not -5F, our record low is only 19F.",
"Are they also a lot more expensive than self service stations? ",
"Last time I read about it was to protect these jobs. But I'm not from these states so.",
"But why male models? ",
"I don’t know man, I have a friend from Portland who I had to talk through how to get gas in California. It is scary how isolated some people are.",
"First time I visited Oregon I didn't know this was a thing. Was pretty darn akward. Really, doesn't take an advanced degree to pump gas.",
"In canada we haven't had full serve in decades because it's *cheaper* for the gas stations. Why pay someone for a job you can get the customer to do themselves?",
"Is this real? I have seen a few of these photos recently and I don't understand how some people could actually be that dense.\n\nEdit: or maybe I don't want to believe people can be that dense.",
"I have no idea im just seeing a person do stupid shit with a flammable fuel. ",

"Workin at the car wash ",
"I didn’t know it was a thing for employees to still pump gas. In Australia you pump your own gas. ",
"This makes me irrationally angry.",
"Even in restaurants our standard tips are much lower - 10% instead of 15%, and on what's probably a 40%-50% lower total cost for the food. A typical meal for two will only have a tip of $2 to $3. \n\nIf it's busy, I'm pretty sure a petrol attendant can serve more cars than a waiter can serve tables in an hour, so I think it evens out. Of course, these guys are also earning a wage of less than $500 a month...",

"Yep, it only applies to class 1 flammable liquids. ",
"This photo is a joke, it's obviously summer and it is cold in Oregon right now. ",
"As far as I know, if the gas station is open then there is still the option of having an attendant do it, if you want. Obviously if the station is closed, your options are limited to doing it yourself.",
"Yeah well atleast we can drive in the rain!\n(A select few of us anyways..)",
"I don't know, dude. Living in Minnesota, I totally wear t-shirts at 45. Might even throw shorts on if it's not windy. ",

"Oh come on, you had to have someone show you how to pump gas when you were 16 and first started driving. It's easy and something anybody could figure out if they had to, but you shouldn't berate people for not knowing and asking for help. ",
"Depends on what you mean by a lot. They are more expensive but why wouldn’t they be? You’re paying for a service. When it’s 3 degrees outside I gladly pay the difference. ",

"*Right* up until you run out of gas...",
"Truth: it would raise unemployment.\n\nExcuse: you'd spill more gas and thus it's bad for the environment. Which was probably true for about two fill-ups. Given the number of people who drove off without putting their gas cap back on when I worked at a station (generally at least one a day) I wouldn't be surprised if it really was bad for the environment when they changed the law.",
"A guy once told me a story, about a lady who brought her car in for service at his garage. \n\nShe made sure to tell him how it was the first car she'd owned, and how she did a bunch of research on what fluids the car needed, when to rotate the tires, the works.\n\nThe problem was, the car was barely running at less than 5,000 miles. At one point, she asked him how the car knew where to send each fluid...because she'd been pouring everything into her gas tank fill. Oil, brake fluid, windshield cleaner, everything. \n\nPeople, as a whole, are surprisingly dumb.",
"Damn you! Take your up vote and get out!",
"Strange, I've seen a few jokes pop up about Oregon and Washington and how people are pumping \"green\" gas into their cars and breaking them. It's an obvious lame joke that's trying to make fun of liberals. ",

"Butch it might be.",
"In the rest of the world you just have to work it out for yourself. LPT: you need to put it right in the hole, deep as you can get. =)",
"I don’t understand how this is even fucking possible. It’s mind blowing that one has never filled their own tank or even watched people fill a tank. Wtf?",
"But what happens if its too small?",
"Right? Someone says something like “ugh, it’s 46 and overcast today” and all I hear is “blah blah blah, it’s 50 out wear short sleeves” ",

"Use the green pump too, it's bigger and better for the earth. Green = clean ",
"Why couldn't they just have a year where people *can* pump their own gas but attendants are still required to be present and available to help like before?",
"I had the same happen. Kept filling my tank until it overflowed and messed up my paint a bit. Told the cashier, and he just said \"so?\". I don't go there anymore.",
"Also make sure to remember to close the gas cap. ",
"Y'all some dumb fuckers.",
"I agree. I think you should never make fun of people for not knowing how to do something if they are at least brave enough to ask for help. I mean they’re probably already embarrassed enough that they don’t know how to do something that most people can. No need to make them feel any worse. Just like heavy set people going to the gym. Instead of making fun of them for how over weight they are, why not try to applaud them for being brave enough to go in there and try to do something about it? \n\nWe should pick each other up, not push each other down.

"I live in Rhode Island and am used to pumping my own gas. I went in a road trip one time. On the way back through New Jersey I needed to gas up. I was tired. It was late. I stopped at a station, got out. Started pumping myself. 3 people asked if I needed help. Told them I was fine. They let me keep on pumping. I left thinking about how weird it was that I was asked multiple times if I needed help. Then a couple weeks later I found out you don't pump your own gas in new jersey and I was the weird one. ",
"As an ex gas station worker, they probably just don't give a shit.",
"You aren't wrong, but these people should be looking it up, rather than fucking it up.",
"Oh wow! I can waste even more time doing nonsense stuff while waiting for some dude to do something I knew how to do at age 12? People in Oregon and New Jersey must have tons of free time if they enjoy wasting it at the gas station.",
"Did they just take the jobs of the Mexicans?",
"Why would this be so hard?\n\nThe rest of the world manages just fine.",
"Not necessarily true, because many (if not most) gas stations here don’t have stores since no one gets out of their cars to pump gas. They’re just pumps and a booth. ",
"Do Oregonian's hate sleeves?",
"They must have seen an attendant do it at some point?",
"A: This only applies to Oregon, not the whole of the US, since most states you already had to pump your own gas. Oregon had laws about having gas station attendants do it. Ostensibly it's to lower environmental waste (people spilling gas), but really it's just to create more jobs.\n\n\nB: Oregon didn't vote for Trump.\n\n\nC: This image is fake and a joke. Yes she's really doing that, but it's not from Oregon, and it's not recent. \n\n\nD: Also just to point out, the entire premise of the post is wrong. Oregonians don't even \"have to pump their own gas\" now like the title suggests. They're now allowed to in small counties, and only after 6pm. ",

"No I just said that people that actually enjoy wasting time at a gas station must have tons of free time. If you have a reason to go into the gas station, then great. If you are going in because you have nothing better to do for the next 10 min, then you're just wasting time.",
"Can someone explain this to me? Was it previously illegal to pump gas by yourself in Oregon? I didn’t realize that was a thing. I didn’t know that gas station attendants even existed anymore...",
"Of course you're paying for the service, I was just wandering how much extra is the service is worth.\nAnd btw the whole concept of tipping anyone just for doing their job is pretty much horror. Unless he filled your tank in an extraordinary way. ",
"It's clearly a liquid. Look ",
"State law says that only gas station attendants are allowed to pump gas. \n\nThis became a problem for rural areas (which means most of Oregon) because 24 hour gas stations are awesome, but it doesn't make sense to pay some kid to hang out at a gas station all night waiting to pump gas for the 2 or 3 people who might show up and buy some. \n\nSo the state legislature changed the law to allow people to pump their own gas in counties with less than 40,000 residents. So, nothing changed in Portland because Portland is the largest city in the most populated county in the state. ",

Never over, as I recall. If they ever went over, I'm sure it would have only been by pennies, and probably waved off as the gas station attendant's fault. But mom or dad would always have some spare change if that's the case.

I don't think her policy changed for cold winters or hot summers (we lived in Brooklyn and briefly Staten Island until I was 10; then we moved to Houston where I stayed until after college). As soon as self-serve pumps came along (not long after we moved to Houston), mom and dad quickly adopted to do-it-yourselfers. Including checking your own oil and tire air. No big deal, really. \n\nThese days the computerized pumps make it super easy for the person at the counter inside to set the pump to cut off at the $20 mark, if you walk in and give them a $20 bill and say \"$20 regular gas, pump 4\" or whatever. As such, they never go over. If you give them a credit card or $50 cash and say, \"fill 'er up, pump 4, regular,\" then they can mark the computer that way, too (and give you change for the cash you gave them in advance). \n\nEDIT: elaborating on one aspect of my story",

He had the cover off, so the whole back was open and he'd parked particularly close to the pump. Anyway, coworker gets him all set up and they both come into the booth (we were all pretty friendly) to get into the A/C (was a hot summer day). We're just shootin the shit, when I happen to look over and see the hose has become completely detached from the top of the pump and gas is pouring all over the back side of the jeep and into the back. Coworker had to hit the emergency stop button. Luckily, it was his friend and he was able to clean it up without any serious damage, but it could've been way worse had it been another customer, like the bitch who said \"fill it, don't spill it\" EVERY time she came in.",

But murders do happen, muggings do happen, \n\nLike in a lot of the Western World there is an incorrect belief in NZ that crime is increasing (it's falling slowly after a peak in the early 90s). That means people are growing more cautious and fearful. There is also a problem (again shared with most of the West) that crime is often under-reported. Sexual offences are the most likely to be unreported, and some sections of the Maori community do not report crimes out of a feeling they will not be helped, or they will invite scrutiny on themselves, friends or family. However this is also improving. The New Zealand police force are widely trusted and thought incorruptable. New Zealand has one of the lowest corruption rates in the world. \n\nNew Zealand's small population can make crime statistics seem oddly skewed. At only 4 million inhabitants the entire country has a population only slightly larger than LA. Direct comparisons are difficult to make, but wikipedia lists NZ has having 776.93 crimes per 10,000 people in 2014. The Disaster centre has says Connecticut had \t216.7 crimes per 10,000 people.

"Next time you're at a gas station take a closer look at the prices. They usually say 9/10 after the number. So that gas at 2.09 is actually costing 2.099 per gallon (yes, tenths of a cent).\n\nHow's your not quite 2 gallons of gas at $4.18 treating you? ",

">Ringing your own groceries is much slower than someone doing it for you.\n\nIf you're looking at the time to ring up a purchase from first item scanned to payment in a vacuum, sure.\n\nThat cashier can probably ring up one person faster than that person can ring themselves up, but they can still only help one person at a time. But with self-checkout, you can have six registers overseen by the same employee, so now six people are getting through at once. \n\nTo put numbers to it, a cashier may get a person out in two minutes, and a person can get themselves done in four (obviously this would vary, but bear with me). But with those six self-checkout registers, six people are done in four minutes, whereas a lone cashier could get two done in that same time. This means while each individual transaction is longer, there is much less time spent waiting in line.\n\nThe system most grocery stores in my area have now (some traditional registers, some self-checkout) is ideal, I think. A similar system would work well for gas, IMO. Full service stations for those that want it, and self-serve for those that don't.",

'insert card, credit/debit?, Type pin, select fuel grade, lift nozzle, begin pumping' and the pump even shuts itself off when it's full. I think this is one of those things where if you can't figure it out, even with the instructions right there, you earn the mockery. I guess there's no instructions on what hole the gas goes in but that's probably in your owners manual. Yeah this is well earned mockery.",

"I suspect stations built before self-serve was common might lack these. It didn't have them near the pumps 30 years ago when I was pumping gas; you just had breakers in the back. Newer stations around here have them. Anything with a mini-mart attached rather than a repair garage is probably new enough to have an emergency stop nearby, I'd guess.",

"Darwin is probably hovering about with the biggest erection right now...",
"One car looks to have a European lic plate and no American plates, another is from Washington state. Not sure this is all from Oregon ",
"I don't suppose that the stations could give some guidance on how to do it.\n\nIn UP Michigan, where I visited some years ago, there was a prominent sign about the charge for driving off with the hose attached.",
"I bet you’re a lot of fun at parties. ",
"I bet the mechanics there are excited, I'm sure a few hundred people will put diesel in their tanks and mess up the engine. ",
"Indeed I am",
"...Oregon in January isn't a tank top kind of place. ",
"I'm going to defend the fourth person who is holding the filler upside down.\n\nThis can be helpful in some cases, sometimes it's a bad pump that keeps tripping off like the tank is full, and some cars just cause every pump to click off in the same manner. (Super common to see a 911 Porsche filled up this way)\n\nBut no matter, the pump is in the damn hole and it's working.",
"If this is real then I'm not sure what to make of Oregon. I mean pumping gas isn't that hard. If they put that much energy into allowing Muslim immigrants into the country they'd have no problem pumping there own gas.\n",
"Not with that attitude.",
"Correct. And the top left one looks like a Washington plate, while the top right looks like a European plate.",
">My Dearest Martha, I fear my end is near. I attempted to fill the tank myself but now I've somehow wrapped the hose around my neck. I am being overcome by the fumes and lack of oxygen. All my wavering vision sees now are the dead and confused all over the gas station. One poor soul simply gave up in confusion, and decided to aim the fuel nozzle into his mouth. One day, Oregon will know how to pump their own gas and will win this war, but today is not that day. ",
"Different sized nozzles",
"Washington is really close to Oregon.",
"They’ll still try to put it in.",
"Oh my god. Stop posting this joke with pictures so obviously not taken in Oregon in January. ",
"The legal weed and pumping gas for the first time themselves is not working out. ",
"How much do they charge for that? ",
"Day three of finding pictures online from years ago and reposting as Oregonian drivers...",

"Names joker, doesn’t get jokes ",
"Good thing we have people to pump our gas for us in New Jersey... Never have to get out of the car in the cold weather.",
"What's happening with this Oregon stuff? We always pump our own fuel in UK... Why do Oregonians suddenly have to pump Thier own?? I'm confused!!",
"I'm tired of the attacks on stretching the hose over the car because you parked on the wrong side of the pump.\n\nI know that it makes you look like a giant doofus, but they designed the hose to be able to do that. It's a legit move. That way you can just grab the next available pump instead of the next one where the tank is.",
"Same joke, multiple times, everyday for 3 days...",
"Came to the comments to make sure someone would point this out.",
"The car on the top-right is an Opel. I don't think they sell those in the US, even though the brand was, until recently, owned by GM.\n\nAnd it has Hungarian plates.",
"So for one, those pictures are all old and someone just put them together as a joke. Very few people are that stupid. Oregon and New Jersey are two states in the US that have full service gas stations by law. Oregon passed a law this month that allowed people in some areas to pump their own gas.\n\nAs for the UK, I remember full service stations well into the 90s. I don't think my Mum pumped her own petrol for the first few years of owning a car, and she didn't pass her test until around 1993.",
"The fact they had to be serviced by law was bit I was missing. Thank you!",
"In the top right photo, it is considered an appropriate way. While there is tension on the line, some pumps allow for the hose to reach the other side of the vehicle. This is the case where a gas station directs cars to fuel in one direction (traffic purposes). ",
"Did these people not see how their gas was pumped before? Are there not signs? How fucking stupid can you be??? Honestly...",
"TIL Oregonians can finally pump their own gas. As a European living there I've always found it beyond stupid. ",
"Yes, I agree. People do this at Costco gas station. ",
"This guy just post pics out of context to try to make others look stupid. Probably a reflection and his own self image. Hope you feel better sir."

You're also implying that if you improved the operation of the elevator that you *couldn't* benefit from pushing the button sooner?

What's unfortunate about that is that the wrong kind of dog owner is thus attracted to the breed. If the data has no way to account for the treatment and upbringing of the dog by it's owner, then the data is more or less pointless.

"The reason my dog got his ears cropped, was for the dog show ring. Cropped ears are much easier for them to sit correctly for confirmation.

"I like most other dogs not messed up by cruel or misguided human breed designs. Big fan of working dogs, like shepherds.\n\n \n\nPits are just an unfortunate breed. They're not handsome or cute for a reason. They have those beady little eyes and overly muscular head because those traits were selected for. They are legitimately a threat to other people, other dogs, even their owners. Now I'd be the first to say it all depends on the owner, but pits so often attract people of low morals, looking for a dog they think personifies their tough/mean/truck-nuts type personality. People that aren't ready to accept the responsibilities of dog ownership, owning a dangerous dog. Its unfortunate, but that's the reality for pits. Bred to fight, bred to bite, often owned by people who would be entertained by that kind of cruelty.",

"Dogsbite.org is a hate site, pure and simple. Now that you know this, you will look elsewhere for your statistics, right? Like the Centers for Disease Control, or the Journal of the American Veterinary Association? \n\nBoth the CDC and JAVMA are on record that accurate, meaningful dog bite statistics CANNOT be compiled scientifically. While there are a variety of reasons for this, the most obvious reason, once you think about it, is that nobody knows how many dogs exist in the US outside of a rough order of magnitude, and no one has the vaguest idea (scientifically) how many of those dogs are any particular breed. So whether a given breed or type bites \"out of proportion to its numbers\" is scientifically unknowable. Period, even if the trolls at dogsbite.org want your clicks.",

"I'm confused. Are you arguing that pitbulls, left unprovoked, won't attack or an owner is required to make it dangerous? Pitbulls are dangerous because they are capable of killing, regardless of who handles them.",
"Or cat's human.",
"yes, im arguing unprovoked they wont attack. provoke any dog breed enough they will bite. treat any dog breed like crap or raise it poorly it will turn out vicious. i myself was on a walk with my dog, a pitty mix, and was attacked by a stray which was some kind of shepherd mix, for no reason. my dog defended me and took a huge gash in the side in the process resulting in shitloads of medical bills and he has a divot in his side from where they had to remove dead flesh. so excuse me if i dont take much stock in people claming pitts are just naturally aggressive and viscious when they seemingly have not a clue what they are talking about. go to a shelter and look at the pitts locked up (or any dog) and look at the sadness and sorrow they have. they want to be loved just like any other dog. ",
"also, any larger breed dog is capable of killing. ",
"I wasn't expressing an argument. I was stating my opinion. Many other people are expressing their opinion that they think it's cute; I'm stating mine. \n\n \n\nIt may not have been \"nice,\" but I wouldn't say my comment was negative. I didn't say \"your pit\" or \"this pit.\" I think pits are ugly, and I see many people disagree with my opinion. That's fine.",
"You’re more than entitled to your opinion friend but there’s a time and a place. I’m just telling you why you got downvoted.\n\nIf it was a discussion thread and you would have said “I don’t like them because I think they’re ugly” maybe people would talk to you and ask why you have that opinion. But you’re on a thread where people come to see cute animals... and you didn’t even state it as an opinion... you were for some reason compelled to just write “they’re ugly”... that’s it. Everybody scrolling through\n\nCute\nCute\nAww\nCute\nTop five ugliest dog\n\nLol that’s why it’s rude. Nobody is shitting on your opinion and I don’t even think this is a tribal, pitbull people vs non pitbull people... I think people just don’t like that kind of negativity whether you meant it that way or not.\n\nImagine you post a picture of a car you really want and don’t have... say, in my case, the Ford GT. And people comment, sick car\nid love one\nI want mine in black\nFord is a piece of shit and it’s the ugliest car I’ve ever seen. \n☹️\n\nSee what I mean?",
"I always wondered about that, all that water would build up some serious pressure, wouldn't it? Just building and building, it has to escape somewhere doesn't it? Sooner or later it's just going to burst through right?",
"I’ll dispute the numbers. It’s incredibly easy to misidentify dog breeds, especially mutts. How are these results valid without a reliable way to identify the breed? I also agree with u/thisisdaelan, it’s incomplete data if the cause/environment are not included. Also, the American temperament testing society does not rate the pitbull as the most aggressive or easily provoked, although they rely on owners to identify the breed. https://atts.org/about-temperament/ http://www.pickthepit.com ",
"This is so cute!",
"You mutilate dogs for a dumb ass show? Fuck you dude, seriously. ",
"I love Pit bulls. My parents have 2 they adopted from the shelter, and they are so sweet my my special needs sister. I volunteer at the shelter, and it's mostly put bulls there. I feel so bad because they will never get adopted, but there are so many good pit bulls to be adopted. If I ever get rich, I'm creating a giant pit bull farm for them to live at and get adopted. ",

While most trains strictly terrestrial, some have adapted to be more or less amphibious, the above-pictured specimen being one of them. This guy (you can tell it's male because of the way the chimney looks) looks to be fairly old, but some species of amphibious train can live to over 300 years old.\n\n\nThis is actually a really impressive picture, because most wild trains are very territorial, and will not let you get this close without charging. Domesticated trains are obviously a lot more docile, but this train is very obviously still a wild one, and so I pray the photographer was able to get away without provoking him. Just in case anyone was wondering, the best way to escape a charging train is to run in a zig-zag, much like escaping an alligator, since trains tend to charge in straight lines. I really do envy the photographer, though. Being able to see such a noble creature this closely. Amphibious trains are a rare breed, I have yet to see one in the wild.\n\n\nPlease be respectful of trains, and don't get too close to a wild one.

The answer seemed to be a steam traction engine, but the harsh Namib claimed that too. Perhaps the lack of firewood and water ended that experiment as well. The engine was not named until after its demise, when a local humourist remembered Martin Luther's dying words; \"Here I stand, may God help me. I cannot otherwise\". Keith Alexander used this story when he painted 'Dead End', a rail locomotive stuck in the desert, going nowhere, standing in a mirage with the rails rusted away.",

Piper passed away tonight peacefully in my arms after fighting a year-long battle with prostate cancer. He fought valiantly, and we did everything we could, but sometimes life just has to take its course. . Today, Piper enjoyed a pain-free day, filled with love from family and friends, mostly his fellow airport employees. He played soccer, got some much deserved butt scratches and yes, he chased away one last snowy owl as he sailed into the night. . As I hope was plainly evident, we are grateful. Grateful to have done what we loved for three years and had a whole hell of a lot of fun doing it. \n \n> Mostly though, we're grateful for all of your support. It's what's really helped us through the dark days. . As we leave you tonight, know that Piper is in a better place. I only ask for your patience as I take time to tend to my shattered heart. . Lastly, as a final act of true class, the flag you see here flew today at @uscg Air Station Traverse City and was taken down, folded and presented to us and a token of their love. Please join me in thanking the men and women, past and present, of Air Station Traverse City for their awesomeness. \n \n> Piper and I are forever in your debt. . With love, .

At this point I was wondering if I had heard correctly until the butch security woman came over and asked him what he had just said. After pausing, he stuttered the word again, 'boom'. I turned around to see him red faced, as he was continually questioned as to why he would mention such a word. He had to explain that he was simply saying it because he was happy to get through without the alarm going off, the subsequent check that would follow and that he'd be able to make the flight.

"I describe making jams and preserves as \"jarring\".",
"I love you. ",
"Not saying /r/thathappend \n\nBut there's no reason to see a license to issue a parking ticket. The ticket is written against the car not the driver. That's why people come back to a ticket already stuck to their car. The officer doesn't sit around and wait for you to come back.\n\nAnd the person you're describing who is livid about being asked for a license sounds way more like a sovereign citizens which are like 99.99% white people who can barely afford the tobacco their chewing on.",
"Preface: IANAL, but I am an Oregonian and this post got me curious enough to look up how this all works. \n\nAs per Oregon revised statute (ORS) 480.330 \"Operation of gasoline dispensing device by public prohibited\", and ORS 480.385 \"Civil penalty for gasoline dispensing law violations\", a person who pumps their own gas has committed no violation. However, a gas station employee or owner that permits a person to do so may be issued a $500 penalty by the state fire marshal for every occurrence.\n\nSo, while the employees are reasonably motivated to stop you (and deny service/have you trespassed), you're not committing any kind of crime, in and of itself, by pumping your own gas. ",
"I love you too.",
"Did people oregon have people do it for them before or? I'm confused. Can someone fill me in?",
"you should see the things the Irvine Police Dept does when they are bored. \n\nand this lady was DEFINITELY an illegal. 5 chilluns in the backseat built for 3, 2 in the front seat. all under the age of 7. I think the MAIN reason the IPD got involved was because children were involved and a passerby saw them in the car for more than 15 minutes.",
"That'll get you about 2/3 full.",
"California plates...",
"Well given the car has California plates, yeah I'd say it was staged. \n\nIt's also only in counties with a population under 40k. I'm in Douglas county and they still pump the gas. \n\nNot being allowed to pump your own gas is actually a good thing as it creates jobs. Now there are fewer jobs in the low populated counties. Way to go politicians, doing your part to screw the rural areas yet again.\n",
"What are you talking about? Washington voted for Hilary. Oh, and would you mind not dumping your raw sewage directly in to the Salish Sea and actually build some sewage treatment plants like a civilized country.

"> IANAL\n\nI don't care what you do in your bedroom and don't know why you think it is relevant to the conversation.",
"Older cars had them all over. I pumped gas as an attendant in the 70s and at least once a week I had to ask someone where the fuck they were hiding the fill cap.",
"As a Washingtonian, we've been making fun of Oregonians for years with this stuff. I'm digging every bit of it. :)",
"Just don't buy a PEV and then pump gas into the electrical socket.",
"Or, as one of my college friends once said after asking me about a strange noise, \"You mean it has gas *and* oil?\"",
"I'm suddenly self conscious about driving in Canada and I've never actually been there ",
"Here in Washington they have some gas stations that have full service and you're encouraged to tip them.",
"Two. Fuck you.",

"Man I've ridden my motorcycle all over the west coast United States, I've gone further inland through idaho, utah, Nevada etc...

I had to double check to see if cops where behind me with lights on or something. ",

"No, you're gonna have to fill it up yourself.",
"He's cleaning the engine before an oil change with diesel, it's so worth reading the top comments first. A good redditor will read a lot of comments and see if they can contribute or not. ",
" Why would a rental agency in OK have licensed their cars in CA? ",
"One way rentals. Rental cars make their way all over the country. If it's a rental, it started in CA, then over time made it's way to OK via a series of one way rentals. Or maybe this guy picked it up in CA and is road tripping across the US with it. It is not uncommon at all to have a rental car with plates from another state on it. ",
"Aren't diesel handles green ",
"What I think is silly is that the state changed it and then made no attempt to teach their public the correct way to do it. I don't think they set their community up for success with their launch. I understand not knowing how to do something you were never exposed to, I just feel it's silly that your state leaders made no effort to help their people. I live in Philly and we get PSAs about how to properly clear car spots when it snows. I feel like your government could have made an instructional video about how to use a gas pump. So Oregon in that statement should be Oregon's Leaders or something like that. Don't want to make your citizens feel bad.",
"The guy is adding a *little* diesel fuel to the engine oil, before changing the oil. This dissolves sludge and varnish from the engine surfaces. This is a very old picture. The same explanation that I gave has been given many times before.",
" It's uncommon in very large, low population states. When I rent, they don't like the car returned anywhere other than where they rented it from, probably because rental car traffic outside of major cities is low. There can't possibly be that many CA to OK car's on the road, IMHO.",
"Force feeding your Chevy",
"No, you misunderstand what's changed. The new law only affects counties with less than 40K residents. Nothing is changing in the cities. \n\nRural gas stations however, can not afford to pay more than one employee or be open 24 hours. So people in these areas have already been pumping their own gas a fair amount of the time. This new law simply aligns to what has already been happening, since the old law wasn't practical for rural areas.\n\nLiterally nothing is changing other than the text of the law.",
"lol",
"I'm horrible with car maintenance, i've lost a car due to not changing the oil. Bad part is I knew i needed to, but it just wasn't important at the time. It was a $4k car that I drove daily for 3 years so it lived a busy life with me, just died early.",
"It's ridiculous, people are either driving passively, but not passively enough to be safe (think the people who try to give you room on the freeway to merge but don't actually give you enough room) and people who are aggressive but not aggressive enough to be safe, and people who are just to aggressive. Add on everyone driving with their high beams on (seriously, I've almost run over people cause these fuckers blinded me with their high beams, it's a goddamn problem!) people deciding stop signs are optional, and the horrible traffic, no wonder I don't like driving. ",
"If you're serious: no. That pump is part of the gas station as well. When you insert the gas nozzle and pull the trigger, that's called \"pumping gas\"."

Because this is hardly different, Syria poses no threat to our national security, war is unnecessary.\n\nTrump can be criticized for a lot but his middle eastern foreign policy has been great IMO. He's enforced Obamas \"no chemical weapons\" line in the sand without actually committing to yet another disastrous war. So did he collude with Russia and commit treason to become elected or did he never actually want to win? Those kinda seem mutually exclusive.",

I imagine that would be pretty disheartening. \n\nThey are taken what was the best place to streamers play at a high level and just turning it into another cam girls site. It’s not a slippery slope, they’ve already removed the requirements for playing games at all. \n\nAs this type of content becomes more popular than the game streamers themselves, more and more of the site gets catered to them and less people actually come to watch games. \n\nI think there’s room for both to exist.

"HE NEVER WANTED THIS. ",
"In the book, Wolff explains how everyone was expecting to cash out on Trump's failure. Ailes would help Trump start his own TV Channel, Ivanka and Jared would be the new Trump \"brand ambassadors,\" Melania would go back to her quiet life without all of the drama, and Conway would become a TV show host.\n\nTrump did not think he could win, and neither did any of his advisors. Not even his family thought he could win. Throughout his campaign, he kept saying that \"they have the best, and we have the worst.\" He planned on saying that the election was stolen from him if Hillary won. It paints the picture that Trump just wanted to further his brand, rather than actually win.",
"Then why do so many rallies every day for days on end right up until Election Day?",
"Because he has always been told what to do I'm guessing. Also, he is a narcissist, so having a rally people shouting his name is something he enjoyed very much. I think he just wanted to publicity and to keep laundering money and land deals with the russians. ",
"By whom, he ran his own companies.",
"He wanted to come close. Didn't want an embarrassing blowout. But he didn't think he would actually win. \n\nSo he has spent 91 days (3 months) of his first year playing golf hoping this whole thing will just blow over. ",

"They why did he collude with the Russians to hack the election?",
"Thanks. ",
"Not necessarily. It has been widely reported since the 90's that he has been owned by the banks since his bankruptcies. The problem stemmed from the fact that the banks couldn't afford to simply allow him to default on his loans. They needed him to be earning and he couldn't do that if he wasn't considered one of the wealthiest people. This is why the Russia probe is so devastating to him. His finances in Russia are not on the up and up.",
"That is what helps me sleep at night. Knowing that behind all of this he is secretly really unhappy that he won is soooooo satisfying. ",
"Why did he attack Hillary so hard then? ",
"He kept saying more and more ludicrous things towards the end. I kept thinking, he doesn't want this...He is trying to lose. He was probably thinking WTF do I have to do to get these idiots to see how unfit for office I am.",
"What things did he say that were ludicrous?",
"The book doesn't go into much detail behind his attacks behind Hillary, besides painting her as corrupt, immoral, and crooked.",
"Not hard to figure out. Russia wanted to destabilize the US. If the election was close but trump lost, it probably would have been ideal for both Russia and trump. Neither expected a win. Trump just needed it to be close and the stories coming out kept pushing him further and further behind and then he would be irrelevant, so he reaches out to Russia to help make the race close. ",

"Ugh. Making me do the work instead of yourself, fine. \n\nSo basically to TL:DR it for you the Magnitsky act is a bipartisan bill passed by the U.S. Congress and signed by President Obama in November–December 2012, intending to punish Russian officials responsible for the death of Russian tax accountant Sergei Magnitsky in a Moscow prison in 2009. In response to the adoption of the Magnitsky Act, the Russian government denied Americans adoption of Russian children, issued a list of US officials prohibited from entering Russia, and posthumously convicted Magnitsky as guilty. On April 13, 2013, Russia released a list naming 18 Americans banned from entering the Russian Federation over their alleged human rights violations, as a direct response to the Magnitsky list.\n\nIn June 2016, a Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, who was hired to lobby against the Magnitsky Act in the US, set up a Trump campaign–Russia meeting with Donald Trump, Jr., purportedly to discuss altering the Russian Duma's sanctions against American adoption of Russian children along with other illegal activities. On July 11, 2017, Reuters US reported of the meeting that \"[Russia] offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to [Trump Jr.'s] father\". Donald Trump Jr. insisted that Veselnitskaya did not reveal any damaging information about Secretary Clinton as his correspondents had suggested. Trump Jr. subsequently released to the public via Twitter.com his personal records and correspondence between the Trump campaign team and Robert Goldstone, a longtime business partner and friend of Trump Sr., who actively represents several Russian interests and first pitched the meeting to Trump Jr.\n\nBasically, Russia killed this accountant who was investingating TAX FRAUD in russia. He got sent to jail and beaten to death. SO the US put sanctions on Russia, specifically 18 people who we cited Human rights violations against, many who were very wealthy. So if you can say there is no correlation between all that im ok with that, but you have way to much trust in foreign powers who have never been our allies.\n\n",
