Is that little acrylic box (at least that's what I think it is) with hose leading to the intake of the pump the reservoir?
Yes it is. It's a Swiftech micro-res. I was going to go without and just use a t-line, but the reservoir setup was just easier. I compromised with the micro-res instead of one of the big bubbling monsters  How well does it seal and how often do you need to top off? I am just curious because distilled and DI uptake contaminants so easy...I have run into some problems with aquaria because of it. |

You aren't planning to go down that purported path any time soon. (side note: what happened to simple english or whatever the hell you were going to speak? Your post has 66 words to say 'I can't imagine abusing drugs'.) Unfortunately, life doesn't always work out that way. 19 months ago I got creamed by a black-out drunk 19-year-old driving his mom's FJ Cruiser without insurance, doing about 95mph into my back end on the freeway while I was doing 65mph. It is nothing short of miraculous that my girlfriend and I walked out of the car, but both of us were physically trashed. I am still taking painkillers on top of cortisone injections into my spine, and at 27 am a candidate for spinal fusion, if only I had some insurance. I am addicted to opiates because of it. I dream of the day when I don't depend on them to function from the moment I wake up. I have also halved my use of them with medical cannabis, usually eaten. So am I some low-life junky?
Depends on whether you use this as an excuse for having a shitty life and why others should feel sorry for you. Since this is the first I see you post about it, I guess not? Though you're still quite a hell of an immature ahole though. I am not trying to garner sympathy at all, and even at the worst of it, I have never called my life shitty. Everything has always tumbled into my lap from a silver (well, copper) platter. This was just a curve-ball that snuck it's way in there, and though there are times when I just want to curl up and cry, the fact that I walked out of that car brings a smile to my face every time I think of that little 2000 Honda Civic, sitting there in the middle of I5, half the size it was when I got in. There are a lot of ways it could have gone worse, and precious few ways it could have gone better. It sucks gimping around at 27, but it beats the pants off rolling around. The only reason I even bring it up is because an external factor brought about my dependence on opiates. I am not in an alleyway slamming horse, I am medicating so I can get through my day. Doesn't change the fact of the matter. Do I really come off as an immature a-hole? I know I have given you some shit, but malice is never my intent. I use another forum where it is strictly business, and everyone thinks I am an ass there because no one knows when I am joking. I fucking hate emoticons....except for 8==>... Heh. You're trying to apply your perception to mine? Interesting.
I don't understand your point here...What does a factual series of events have to do with my perception of them? I am sure that my experiences have influenced my writing style and thus my portrayal of the event, but I don't see the relevance. |

Jesus. I am not talking about meeting women with facebook, I am saying it is now an accepted tool in the dating community. It's ridiculous.

I'll be open: I've sampled weed, LSD, alchohol, cigarettes the works yet never has it consumed me. I never become dependent on substances or anything for that matter. The only "destructive behavior" I have experienced thus far are the suicidal thoughts and depression I live with daily and that has only built me. I don't think I am going down this purported path any time soon.

Fuck your self important garbage. What happened to me is jack shit, and it has upset my life beyond what I could ever imagine. Every morning I wake up and make a decision between crippling pain or living in a haze and there are plenty of times since this happened that I have just wanted to curl up in a ball and die. I never thought I'd be here either. tl;dr - you are incredibly ignorant, atlas. also, if you think LSD, weed, liquor and cigarettes are the works, you've got a lot of exploration left. THiKAL and PiHKAL...there's like, 400 tryptamines and phenethylamines to burn through. Heh. I don't think I've ever belittled you, Randy. I have never referred to you as a junkie. If anything, you're irrationally taking my smugness as an insult to your character. Don't let me affect your happiness. I am not that important. Haha. Anyways, I wish you all the best. Yes, I am proudly ignorant. It would be boring to have nothing left to learn. I am not saying that you belittled me or that I am insulted by you. I could give a flying fuck what you think. I am saying you are incredibly naive and I am trying to point out the fallacy in your logic using my own experience as an example. |

Alright, by inspiration from a dear friend of mine, I will be attempting to change my sleep schedule once again. Instead of sleeping an entire 8 hours or more at night, I will be taking 20 minute naps every 4 hours exclusively at 2 PM, 6 PM, 10 PM, 2 AM, 6 AM, and 10 AM. This is formally called polyphasic sleep and has other forms ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphasic_sleep). I had a roomate once doing exactly that, after a few days he looked _really_ bad. It may be a fun thing to try but I'm sure everybody having actually done it wouldn't recommend it (same goes for most doctors I guess). I am hoping my meditation can get me through this... Relying on meditation to help you though self-induced torture is an abuse of meditation. While I agree with your description of this as self-induced torture, I disagree that it is an abuse of meditation. All meditation is self-induced torture; it's how society punishes people, even the worst of them; you're doing a life sentence for being a brutal serial-rapist and your life already fucking sucks because you are in some scary maximum security federal penitentiary...they punish you by putting you in isolation, incidentally, a hugely popular form of meditation. 'Sit and think (or perhaps meditate?) about what you've done' is the only punishment that we really mete out as a society. Now to digress, I think that any activity can be meditative, but it is unique to the individual and sort of stands off from 'meditation'. If I said I was going fly fishing, you would not perceive that as 'He's going to meditate'. |

I had a crazy stalker ex-girlfriend and through some facebook stalking, she knew I had a lady coming to visit for a week and on the first day my ladyfriend got there, we are walking up to my house coming from the airport and there is a wine bottle sitting on the porch filled with flowers with googly eyes on them...I knew it was from the psychopath, but I had no idea what precipitated it. I was all sorts of weirded out, especially as I was not familiar with the SNL sketch.
So basically, fuck googly-anything, unless it's on a cat sweatshirt. Then it's ok.
That's some funny shit. I only have a facebook fan page now. I don't like knowing what people are watching/listening to/thinking 24/7 and I certainly know they don't want to know that about me. This was a few years ago when facebook was just a tool to paruse the incoming freshman and check if skirts had boyfriends. Now everyone's parents are on there, and people treat it like a legitimate form of communication. I recently got out of a pretty long relationship, and now that I am chasing talent again, it seems like facebook has become an integral tool in the hooking up scene...it's retarded. |

I have genitalia in my avatar, several of them in fact. I've just made them hard to see, so you don't see me getting censored.
Taking the 'true to life' route, then?  Of course. IRL I am famed for my multiple yet hard to find genitalia. Well, they say size doesn't matter. I think the human reproductive system is filthy and immoral, regardless of the size. You should be ashamed of yourself, having a plurality of junk. |

I don't know where it came from, but it makes me smile every time I see it. Buttcoin, maybe?

In response to the topic at hand, theymos finally responded to my inquiry and noted that the avatar is NSFW and that he wants me to change it so I did. That's how us slaves to the establishment handle requests.
You should probably give that animation to Buttcoin or something. It is too fucking awesome to be squashed by the man. |

I'm just another person, Matthew. I am not a scarce resource. Realize that.
What you consider to be flattering is just one more person you screwed over shaking their head in disbelief. Trust me, your 'value' is not what I can't seem to get over-- I'm just new to dealing with irresponsible heartless arrogant self importants who probably need a good ass kicking. Well, Matthew I care about you but not as an inferior but as a fellow man capable of much as he deems valuable. My advice: Don't let me or anybody else control your happiness. I am not worth your energy nor is anybody else. Stand on your own two feet. I honestly don't believe I have any problems standing on my own two feet Atlas. I have done more than you before I was 10. What my problem is is that I have started to believe (thanks a lot goons, and yes I'm mentioning you-- wanna fight about it?) that I'm not actually the only one in the universe and that on top of being fundementally wrong on many opinions of the world, it is also possible for me to grow out of certain mindsets. This makes me want to talk less, listen more, and not put so much faith in myself. That's not the same thing as being compromised, because I am a very artistic and talented som of a bitch. It just means that I am no longer trying to ride that through life as mu only asset (which should be bare minimum for everyone tbi). Heh. You measure your accomplishments in comparison to mine. Interesting. Yes, Matthew, you have many things you deem as virtues. I just hope you're doing them for you and not to appease people. I certainly don't care about your attempts at humility and how you want to grow. There's more to a person than that. Yeah, Matthew, you are such a dick for measuring your accomplishments in the context of the conversation. It's like...you know how to interact with people socially or something, you fucking prick. In the future, I want you to only compare yourself to Winston Churchill and his accomplishments so that we may judge you on a grander scale. You know what? No, that isn't big enough. Gilgamesh...I mean, he was the original god-king, and like Atlas, he did what he wanted. Heh. I actually don't think value needs comparison at all. It should be inherently felt. Come now. Mr. Philosophy here is telling a biologist that thinks it's all a crock of shit that value should be inherently felt? You are aware of that whole manicheism thing, right? You don't think that applies to emotion? I disagree. I do not think that you can perceive value without basis for comparison. Why else would values differ between individuals but for life experience? Are you arguing for an absolute free-for-all where everyone does what they want? Cause that's Pleasure Island from Pinocchio, and it'll turn you into a jackass. C'mon...we learned that in the thirties from Walt Disney for christ's sake. Of course. Heh. To not understand that would be to deny their value -- assuming they are valuable, which in a lot of cases they are not.
So you think that there are people that exist or have existed with no value? I would hate to hate the world so much. I think every person on this earth carries a valuable lesson, and I try my hardest to pry it from everyone I meet. My favorite thing to do in this world is watch masters of any craft do their thing. I can spend hours watching a welder weld, or a field scientist out doing his collections, or a musician no one has ever heard of sitting at home playing their piano. I don't care what it is, on some level, everyone has something to add. For you to assume otherwise is very self-absorbed. |

My intentions are not ulterior. I prefer to be able to browse this forum in public places without male members littering the screen.
Like you ever go out in public... That's what you want the truth to be. Oh, the thought of me being a happy and balanced individual while holding no views of state-provided entitlement. How upsetting that would be, eh, Mr. Randy? If you were happy and balanced, I'd be out of the best show on television. I went to college once. I had delusional world views, just like you. You get over it quickly when you reach the real world and people treat you as you are being treated here. Heh, I have had very personal relationships with people in their 20s. Many of them even holding Marxist viewpoints. The real world has treated me very well, Mr. Randy. Cool story, bro. One time I went drinking with my alcoholic grandpa and some of his friends. Many of them are racist old pricks, but I still had a blast. The real world is what it is. |
