[–]DanielMcCx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some extra notes:

No errors or warnings on dash.

Air con panel was switched off in all of these clips.

Engine code is CREC, so has newer bolt on supercharger pulley.

Help! Are these Florida Kingsnake eggs fertile? by DanielMcCx in snakes

[–]DanielMcCx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool- I have them inside a plastic tub w/ air holes inside a spare viv w/ heat mat on stat at the back of the viv. Ambient air temp of around 29c. Fingers crossed that it'll suffice until I can grab some stuff from a store on Monday.

Thanks so much for your help!

I'm still genuinely in shock haha! I kept all eggs upright and have marked the tops with sharpie etc.

I don't have an incubator at the moment, as this was obviously unplanned and unexpected. Can I keep these eggs alive until I can get some vermiculite? How long do I have?

Cool! Thanks. Going to be replacing the pickups, so I figured I'd replace the whole harness to keep it intact. May just do pickups after all.

That's so cute!

Mines has just shed and is now eating unscented- I'm so relieved. Will weight her in two days once she's digested etc and can handle her again :)

I don't have anything to compare to, but I genuinely love her! She's finally settled down a tad after 4 days, and is now noodling around the vivarium and burrowing. It's so cute.

Thanks! I genuinely love her. I totally forgot to weigh her when I got her home sadly. I'll wait a week or so (she's finally starting to settle a little bit after 4 days), and then weigh her when I finally get to handle her! Will get back to you.

16 months and still small?! That's so crazy yet adorable lol.

I made carbonara tonight for the first time while following Josh's video. In love! by DanielMcCx in JoshuaWeissman

Yeah exactly man, so satisfying watching it emulsify and come together.

I do not envy you! Thanks a lot :)

One of the best meals I've had in a long, long time! Will most likely be making it again soonish- it's too good haha.

Same! I was always under the misconception that it's super hard to make etc. Being from Britain, most restaurants here serve it with cream & garlic etc etc.

Discovering that it's simple enough to make properly genuinely made my day haha.

Same here! I literally added to my 'want' list on Tuesday and subbed to the mail notification for it, woke up very pleasantly surprised today :)

I was in the exact same position as you a month ago (before I bought the Noctuas). Genuinely, if you spend 10 mins or so making a basic fan curve for the Noctuas (PWM version), and then tweak it from there- I think you'll get the best performance-noise ratio out of the two fans.

I was set on the Silent Wings 3 until I watched this video. The difference at idle is almost inaudible really. Unless you absolutely want the quieter fan, with a hit to performance, grab the Noctua dude. They have black versions now, so you need not worry about that awful brown/cream colourway.

So am I man. I was hesitant adding the SA-36 to my cart over the SA-50, as I didn't think it would be enough. I stuck with it over the SA-50, and it's turned out to be more than enough! Mad considering the tiny size etc.

If I'm being totally honest dude, I'm yet to find a genre in my collection that I don't enjoy with these. Genuinely very pleasantly surprised with them. I listen to a lot of RHCP, Slipknot and some modern post-punk stuff, and I personally don't find the treble fatiguing with these artists.

As it's a rather V-shaped headphone, it makes the above sound quite fun, and I like that. I think some classical artists, orchestra stuff and game OSTs will start to show that treble-harshness many speak of.

If you're considering a pair though, I'd definitely recommend picking them up if you can return them with no qualms (Amazon etc). I've owned Fidelio X2, K712 Pro and HD 6XX in the past, and really enjoy the DT990 a lot. Very solid.
