TheSwissAquarist Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 An essay of an Einstein quote has been torturing me for the past day : Imagination is more important than knowledge. 😑 Spoiler Alert 🚨! I came across my old stick insect terrarium in my attic…made me realize that I don’t have any pics of my old pet anymore… Sungaya Inexpectata, also known as “Caine” (get it?😜). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSwissAquarist Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 Covid seems to be doing the rounds here…😬 my parents are plainly refusing to go to the LFS for neon and glowlight tetras for the 15 gal…understandable.

Miska Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I’d love to read your paper! I have a BA in history specializing in post colonial francophone colonization with a minor in Francophone literature. Though mostly from the Maghreb and Subsaharan Africa. My Master’s in Teaching is from Emory University. This is my wheelhouse and very exciting! France caused a lot of issues in Indochina and Ghana for the way they withdrew. I blame them almost entirely for the aftermath and conflict. I’d love to know what your thesis was! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame them almost entirely for the aftermath and conflict. I’d love to know what your thesis was! It’s in French; but my thesis is that France failed to take the reins of colonisation the same way they did before WW2, and therefore left the door open to opposition through a communist movement. The demoralized post-WW2 French army was highly dependent on American equipment, but could not fight a guérilla war. The ‘Domino’ theory proposed by the Eisenhower administration grossly inflated the perceived threats of a communist Vietnam, causing the US to precipitate its military might into a war that they could not commit to fully; on pain of international condemnation. Do you think that would be OK? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miska Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 My minor was in Francophone literature- I speak and read French. Well read better than speak or write because it’s been 10 years since I was fluent. That’s pretty much most folks major theories. Though because I was born and raised in Étates-Unis we would argue that the threat was real and the brutality of the Viet Kong proves it. Which would be important to put in your next to last paragraph and refute (where you refute alternative theories). N’est pas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSwissAquarist Posted March 3, 2023 Author Share Posted March 3, 2023 My Endler population has been hit by Ich! 🤯 I left home this morning, all was fine and la-de-da : came back to 4 dead and all of my 15 or so remaining Endlers exhibited white spots. My stardust plecos and a glass cat have also snuffed it. 🤦♂️ All Endlers have been isolated, since I throughly scrutinized all other fish (can ADFs get ich?) and they were fine. Currently undergoing 1tbsp/gal salt treatment…it’s so annoying! Plus my favorite has snuffed it…😡 I hope they survive the night 🤞🤞🤞🤞. Its not the good “ Aundler “ colony thank goodness, who seem to be doing pretty well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
