I've seen this on a few other subreddits and found the threads pretty enjoyable to read.

I'll start. A&M might be hokey and a cult, but I think a lot of fanbases would love to have the level of pure zealotry Aggies have. While we're easy to make fun of, I think there's some fanbases that secretly wish their fans cared as much.

Hey y'all,

My wife and I recently acquired a painting of some value, and are looking at getting it custom framed. I searched through here and found a few threads that are years old, but some of those recommendations have permanently closed since those threads were made.

Does anyone have any recommendations for custom art framing in Houston? Would appreciate any and all input. Thanks!

Hey y'all,

My wife and I just recently had fraternal twin boys, and they're just over 2mo old now. They've been gaining weight well mostly on breast milk with 1-2 formula feeds per day since there's only so much milk my wife can make (though she's honestly crushing it).

One of them has no issues feeding. The other, starting maybe 3-4 days ago, just starts crying and refusing bottled breast milk. Just completely out of the blue. Bottled formula is fine, but not bottled breast milk. The obvious answer is just let him take formula instead of breast milk, but my wife feels (despite admitting it's a little irrational) that it's not fair that one gets breast milk and the other gets formula. We'

Hey y'all,

Currently in the market for two new fans, but everything I'm finding is completely dependent on a remote. I just want a modern looking ceiling fan (similar to the one listed below) that I can turn the light on and off with a dual switch and not have to worry about a remote to turn it on as well. I feel like everyone I look, anything remotely modern looking is dependent on having a remote to control it.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm moving this weekend to Texas, and have a DMV appointment set up on Monday morning for a Texas license. My current state's license expires on Tuesday, so I initially thought this was all perfect timing.

However, I'm now seeing that I need to provide proof that I've registered my vehicle in Texas before getting a license or sign saying I don't own a car.

Has anyone signed saying they don't own a car (obviously when not true) and had any issues? I plan on registering my vehicle in Texas this week, but would rather get a license before I have to deal with repeating the driving test and all due to an expired license.

Going back to my home state to get a new unexpired license is also not

Hey y'all, picking up a '19 Forester Sport tomorrow and I'm between two colors with identical features/packages. It's either the dark grey or the ice silver. Both seem to look great. While the dark grey seems to look real sleek, I'm worried that its so close to black that it may show a ton of dirt. The ice silver is pretty, but I'm worried it may be a little on the feminine side comparatively (I'm a late 20's dude; the classic Subaru buyer). Just wanted to see if anyone has either color and their thoughts on it. Thanks.

Hey folks,

I recently started up a planted tank about 3 weeks ago, and have been using root tabs in Seachem sand and dosing with flourish and excel. Even put down an iron tablet when they first were planted. I've got a finnex 24/7 light that is just led to in 24hr mode. I've got a lot of plants that look like they're dead or on the brink of dying, and I'm not sure why. I've got some pics, and am hoping maybe someone could chime in and lend me some advice. Thanks!

Hey folks. I'll be moving to BR soon for a job, and my girlfriend is a nurse and potentially eyeing a job at Childrens Hospital New Orleans. We're thinking of getting a place in the east side of BR/Prairieville, and she says she thinks she can deal with the commute but we're looking for opinions from people who do it regularly. She'd be working 3 days per week, needing to be there at 7am and leaving around 7:30pm so hopefully she'd be avoiding most of rush hour. If anyone has some advice or insight, we'd appreciate it! Thanks!

Hey y'all,

I've got a 29 gallon freshwater tank that's been cycled since the last week of September. It's filtered with an Eheim 2215. In it so far are 6 cories, 6 blue tetra, and 2 snails who have all been doing pretty well overall. No new fish in the last 2 weeks at least. My tap water is pretty hard, and I recently invested in an over-the-counter RO/DI to start using for water changes to soften the water.

For the last few weeks, my pH has been about 7.4, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, and nitrates varying depending on time since water change. Yesterday, I did about a 40% water change using only RO/DI water for the first time, and I woke up this morning with my blue tetras gasping at the surface

Hey y'all, just started my first tank and am looking for advice on placement of my driftwood, rocks, and I'm also a little lost on what to plant and where. I've posted to r/plantedtank, and figure I'd broaden the search for feedback. I've included an album below of my tank this far. I was thinking maybe some bacopa or rotala in the back, and hair grass in the front? I'm having a hard time figuring out what the end result should look like. Any advice would be appreciated.

Any feedback is welcome. Appreciate it, y'all.

Hey guys, just set up a new 29 gallon. First time owner. After setting up my eheim 2215, I noticed a small leak at the input to the filter. I put a video down below. Has anyone else has this issue or know an easy way to repair it? Thanks a ton, and hoping I don't have to replace it.

I'm just starting my first real tank, a 29 gallon freshwater tank. I used to have a decent sized saltwater tank as a child, but that's really my only exposure to the hobby and am looking to get back into it.

I'm really interested in a design that has a "beach" so to speak - an area that's white sand and bare next to a heavily planted region. I feel like I've seen some designs similar, but can't find them again while searching. Anyone have any good inspirations or anything similar? Thanks.
