Disaster struck over night

So i woke up this morning around 5am to the sound of my HOB filter pulling air. Ngl i tried to ignore it at first but when I turned over, I jolted up. My 40 gallon tank was now 20 gallons in the tank, and 20 gallons on my bedroom floor. HALF of the water leaked out (where the white line is). I immediately turned off my filter, then heater (which is probably fried i dont even want to test it) and grabbed towels to try and do damage control and keep the water from spreading…which i failed at theres definitely water everywhere. As I was searching for the source of the leak, I noticed that the towel underneath the tank was completely dry. i then noticed the other half of the air stone I had in there hanging out of the side of the tank. THE AIRSTONE PULLED HALF OF THE WATER OUT OF MY TANK OVERNIGHT😭 Luckily all i have in there is 4 pearl gourami and they all survived. This is definitely a lesson learned. Its now 7am and i am going back to sleep. Ill get a new heater later.

Update on the turtles in inappropriate enclosure, Bangladesh

https://www.reddit.com/r/turtle/s/7udp0cl20H

So I posted last week about these two turtles being kept in an inappropriate tank in my office. They belonged to a colleague (not in my immediate team). We are in Bangladesh where animals rights aren’t really a thing, and this sort of tank is considered normal.

I messaged my colleague earlier in the week to double check whether the turtles were hers and she said yes and that she had been planning to give them away. Apparently they were for her young daughter originally but she’d brought them into the office. I said I was concerned their tank was too small and I was surprised she immediately agreed. When I suggested releasing them, she was happy for me to do so.

With another colleague who recommended this particular location, I took them after work today to a nearby lake and we put them on the bank. They immediately raced down to the water and swam away. Apologies for the slightly crappy photos - I also got a video of the break for freedom but I’m unable to attach it to this post.

I know it’s generally frowned upon to release captive animals into the wild, but this really was the only option here. Otherwise it’s likely they
would have been passed around to different people who would have eventually got fed up with the responsibility, and who knows where they’d have ended up.

Hopefully they will be much happier in their new home.

Can’t use with Reddit?

iOS.. As of a few weeks ago, I officially can’t use Snapchat with Windscribe. It doesn’t update/refresh until I turn the vpn off. Now I cannot open Reddit without the vpn being off. What’s going on here?

“It’s a dead game” muted?

Some are in here just to hate. Any chance to let you know, they will let you know that the game is dead. That means nothing and is only discouraging. That should be the tell that you aren’t here in this community for anything positive. Mute or ban , i don’t know. Just a suggestion. People really think they are cooking by saying that.

Tornado scare today…

I turned off my alerts a long time ago . I have an iPhone and would get them for every color alert or far fetched weather alert. Today , above my area a giant funnel cloud grew and nearly touched down.
People know where I am. My family, my spouse. No one mentioned anything to me until an hour after the fact.

I live in a top floor of my apartment building. I have access to the laundry room which is a basement. If I had a warning from anyone, I would have been down there. Once I realized people knew and knew where it was and no one reached out, I grew some type of resentment that I am holding for my family right now. I don’t know, I can’t expect anything from anyone but… can I? I don’t know

Just realized an ionizer is not the same as a filter

My a/c has an ionizing function, so I thought I was fine inside from this smog. Last night I started having breathing issues. Looking further into it this morning, a filter is what is needed right now. I thought one was just the fancy name for the other. But… yea the more you know! Stay safe , everybody!

The ruthlessness is horrible for my mental health

I don’t know, call me what you want. These games in this round of ranked knockout are brutal. The button bashing as it is, what if it’s 2 great players- both should be going to final. But no, someone has to lose 10 points on the ranked board. And the cheating. Man, I’m playing to try and relax. This game lm, this round, has been stressing me out more than anything.

Flat out cheater, i don’t know how to describe…

This guy is wearing the pineapple skin that was a new reward, i don’t know name 😞 he dropped 30 people in the game, and he disappeared, so the first level was me by myself just finishing, and then it said he and I both qualified. Then round 2 is hyperdrive , the track. He floats up and around freely. I had no chance with how many times he flew back and held me at those spots I can fly off.
I couldn’t see his name, when I clicked report, my game crashed..

I couldn’t not screen record as I’m on a crummy switch.

Edit, language. Sorry btw

Watching “Obsession” and trying to pretend it’s not ..

The Chaser. Season 1, the Chaser. Everyone is crazy over this film and I’m watching it, there’s nothing original there. Also , it’s an insult to TZ that the creator claimed simpsons treehouse of horror II is the inspiration for this. I don’t know, this isnt something I can get past. Feels like stolen work
