Default I turned the filter off in my tropical fish tank...

...will my fish die?

Its in my room and it started making a noise about 5am this morning like a stone had got caught in it. I fiddled with it and couldn't do anything without destroying so I left it hoping it'd clear. I thought it had, cus didn't hear it the few times I've been in my room today. Now its time to sleep and right on cue as soon as I get in bed it starts. So I've unplugged and will plug it back in tomorrow morning. But

...will my fish die?

You need to keep the water oxygenated.

If the pump shits the bed on you for good you can add some Hydrogen Peroxide to keep the water oxygenated.
I use to use this trick when I went fishing. We'd add some to the livewell to help keep the fish alive.

Plan on getting a new filter. Your pump is on it's deathbed.

Thank you.

Maybe cus I've done all the teenage stuff years over 10 years ago!? I remember sitting round the other week with some friends bored watching some crap on TV. We was also taking coke but still bored and we all commentated on how life is stale even with class A drugs.

But this fish tank dilemma was a serious question, I couldn't find the answer so I posted here asking...

The fish are fine tho.

What do you know about my lifestyle, dork? If I mentioned that I had sat in a darkened room shouting abuse at Koreans 10 years ago would that be "mocking your lifestyle"?

Do you even know what mock means? Honestly, we give you independence and you butcher our language.

No, see, you tried to make fun of him by saying he was boring, so he came back by saying his life as a gangsta was boring - you failed to see that he was ridiculing.

Which is what mocking is. Ridicule.

If you commented on me sitting in a darkened room shouting at Koreans etc, it wouldn't be mocking me because I beat you to the punch when I stated it in the first place. Self deprecating humour.

Mock something about me that I don't myself find amusing, that might work.

Actually mocking involves imitation or impression, neither of which are relevant to this. Adam was simply telling me about his own lamewad experience ten years ago that I think was supposed to bring him closer to my level but has ultimately left me thinking that: a) him and his friends don't know how to have fun, b) he has gone from being a teenager to an elderly man in 10 years and c) Pres Zount has a needledick.

Calm down man, don't lose your cool. The whole jaded sarcasm thing doesn't work when you're getting stressed out at people for being wittier than you.

ONE, I'm pretty sure he was mocking you by your terms, because, haha, he was just pretending to be a hard man like yourself by saying that he did hard drugs. If not then it would have been a pretty good coincidence. TWO, do you want me to get a dictionary? To mock: to ridicule, to make fun of, or to spoof. All those things and more.

You are such a nerd it's unbelievable.

1) Doing drugs does not make you cool, hard, or anything like me. It's certainly a step in the right direction, but it's gonna take a lot more effort to become this much of a pimp.

2) Cocaine is not a "hard drug", look it up. I don't understand how you can possibly make the connection between sitting around watching TV with your friends being bored and being a "gangsta". I don't even get why you'd want to make that connection, but whatever.

3) These numbered lists are good because they make it quick and easy to reference the many facets of your geekdom.

4) Kid Presentable is so overrated. How many times has he used that WHAM joke on me? In fact, I wonder what percentage of his posts are devoted to trying to make himself look better than other posters? Probably like, what, 80%? That's pretty sad and shows a deep seated insecurity.

You're making the mistake of trying to go for the 'nerd' angle again, when I'm already well in front of you in making fun of myself for it.

Adam mocked you for thinking that you were more interesting than him BECAUSE you did coke, (which we all know you do think that since you're always telling us) stop trying to pretend that you didn't just miss it.

You're logic and comebacks are as dead as this guy's fish are.

"Chuuu...chu...chhhumm..."

Hahaha this is hilarious. A pimp with feelings.

I'm glad to say it's the first time I've used the Wham joke, and thanks for being hurt by it. It's nice to be noticed, even when you're stalking me like I'm Letterman. Just get off my dick. Shut up and learn to handle a bit of friendly ribbing like a grown-up.

Hey man, I played off the jab at my married life, mostly because it was so preposterous as to be given any acknowledgment. If I've gone too far or something else is going on in dude's life, then my bad. I copy and pasted his 'prefer if you just left' shit as a joke. Whatever. I'd prefer it if I just left....
