I did a rewatch of The first several seasons a few years ago. I had enjoyed it in it's original run, and was also surprised by how cheesy everything was initially, acting, production value, the whole magilla. Fortunately, Everything got better as time went on

the salinity should be uniform independent of Depth. murky water should not prevent accurate use of the refractometer

not to hijack this thread too much, but even at 180 gal, my tank is far too small for all of the fish varieties you describe.
get a refractometer marketed to aquarium keepers for about 30 bucks
I have kept a 180gal brackish tank for about 30 years and tried to keep just about every plant and fish from coastal Louisiana
most "fresh water" plants can survive in a specific gravity up to about 1.005, some up to 1.008-1.010, permanently.
I keep my tank at 1.005-1.008, and have a healthy mix of mostly native fresh/ brackish /marine fish with some exotic and native freshwater plants. Full marine is about 1.025

saw them at the State Palace Theater in New Orleans in 94. Great show in a great venue

believe or not maggie you live in a city, in a county, in a state and 90% of the government you can see, touch and feel happens to you at one of those three levels. but...but..but our democracy!
his first answer was correct he works for the county, and you my man are a blithering idiot!
you are a maroon
The word "Federal" was not mentioned in the original question
Hint: State and local governments also have 3 branches of government, and every employee is overseen by one of those branches

The other thread showed the "high levels" of contamination to be a few parts per billion.
The use of immunohistochemistry to detect truly minute portion of contamination is mind boggling

"deep below the ocean" it was
Shouldn't that be deep within the ocean

Same question, best source for high concentration chlorine in bulk?
The remarkable thing is that the feds under Obama demanded exclusive oversight of all things immigration so that they could exclusively refuse to act, and prevent states from picking up the slack
In that analogy, he knew about the robbery beforehand, road in the van with the robbers, and left with them after the act.
But while in the bank, he shoved a microphone in the face of the tellers, derisively demanding they explain why the bank didn't deserve to be robbed
Oh, and refused to leave when asked to by the manager.

re: What is your position on freedom of the Press?

A lot of wha you’re saying is in direct conflict with decades of, if not longer, jurisprudence on this topic
Sadly true
That's why I added the "should not",
The "press" is the printing press, and freedom of the press means the freedom of mass communication/expression without state interference
Journalists are not "the press", they are fellow citizens who have created a vocation by exercising our universal right of mass communication
Being a journalist does not (should not) offer special consideration, including a waiver to perform otherwise illegal Acts
ETA: in this regard the internet is the ultimate modern manifestation of the printing press, and any effort to limit free expression on the internet should be viewed in that light

Willie certainly was a great songwriter, to the benefit of many great performers
And Some of his hits like on the road again are pretty vanilla
I would recommend that anyone seeking to explore the depths of his talent listen to The Red headed stranger album beginning to end
Or just about anything he and Waylon recorded together
And if I can't sing like willie, Waylon will do

Willie Nelson
His voice melts me
I read somewhere that his is the most recognized voice in the world. Not sure if true. But it is certainly singular.

I have avoided legal trouble my whole life by using that one simple trick, the "technicality" of not violating the law.
Having climbed the Wallace Memorial tower in Stirling, overlooking the Omega shape of the river with the Marshland in the middle, and reading the true story on how he outsmarted, divided, and defeated the English Army at that site, I have always wondered why they didn't just portray the actual events in the movie. it was pretty bad arse
We are very limited down here in terms of pears for fresh eating. Several good 'canning pears"
For fresh eating, Southern Bartlett and Biscamp have made me very happy. I have cuttings if you can get your hands on a Cleveland / flowering peair to use for rootstock

Even consider removing the top row of stone to make the exposed roots a feature
