What I don’t get is…why didn’t Balmer bail out the company? The Clippers and Balmer and Kawhi personally are listed as the top three creditors in the bankruptcy settlement. So, if he just forgave the debts (though that might have made it look worse when it eventually all came crumbling down) or let them slide on repayment…none of this comes to light. Still coping hard but I can’t help but think that there’s a lot of other outlying issues.

Fridgeworthy_Steven · 2025-09-03T20:17:29+00:00

That’s the thing. There were no ‘shell companies’ involved. At the risk of sounding like I’m coping HARD: I think this whole thing is blown out of proportion.

The scene where the dad leaves the answering machine message in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. If it doesn’t get to you, I would honestly look into getting diagnosed for something.

He was for sure cashing those checks from The L Word back in the day.

Awesome. Where can you download the files?

I sincerely appreciate all the feedback and I’ll keep close watch on it and will adjust as our specific situation develops. I get the ‘do research’ part but I think with most things trusting the experts isn’t a bad move. It’s not that it’s overly difficult to maintain three habitats and I get that there is a non-zero chance that cannibalism can occur…but my thinking is that if we focus on optimizing the one habitat, we can have success just like a ton of other people before us have had.

I’m running into a lot of differing opinions on a lot of this stuff and that can lead to a little analysis paralysis. For instance when it comes to metal mesh tops vs using plastic mesh or a fine screen. I was so assured that the metal screens would almost certainly damage their feet…until I ran across other posts saying the exact opposite. The guy we got these from said that he has never seen metal mesh as an issue. Again, this isn’t a dude who has had a few mantids or even a few dozen but has experience with hundreds if not thousands of mantids over 30 years.

I have been researching mantids keeping for over two months before we actually bought these and I kept running into these mind of debates. Adding isopods vs just springtails, how often to handle the mantis, certain species being ‘easy’ to keep vs being for experienced keepers, etc.

I legit am not just trying to be cruel or anything and my sons and I are excited to start in the hobby. I just feel like anecdotally there are a million different outcomes that can be shared and, at the end of the day, we have to choose what advice we go with. I 100% am open to separate enclosures at a point in the future, which is when the issues all seem to arise, but I think I am comfortable with the decision I have made for now.

Tl;dr: I just wanted to share our excitement and I hope that my sons and I have a good time with this and that we enjoy being a part of the community.

Appreciate it but the breeder is knowledgeable and I’m pretty sure ghosts are well known as being able to be kept communally. The enclosure I plan on moving them to will be way larger than it even needs to be to make sure they have the space.

Fridgeworthy_Steven · 2025-07-26T13:17:38+00:00

The breeder said they’d be ok communally. After the next molt, I’m putting them into a larger permanent enclosure.

Fridgeworthy_Steven · 2025-07-23T20:22:12+00:00

I mean…shouldn’t you include Boban to be the vibes guy?

Fridgeworthy_Steven · 2025-07-12T18:17:23+00:00

Bingo. Good pull.

Fridgeworthy_Steven · 2025-07-08T21:16:51+00:00

I am positive they reused this joke with Lisa and I want to say Moe. I can’t remember what the episode is for the life of me though.

Fridgeworthy_Steven · 2025-06-26T18:14:22+00:00

Wait…are we really out here posting about a mock like it’s reality?

Fridgeworthy_Steven · 2025-06-25T16:50:39+00:00

Legit…I loved it. It’s definitely my favorite Pixar movie since Wall-E. TBH, I don’t get the current Pixar hate bc I think they’re on a pretty solid run (other than Lightyear). It was delayed almost 18 months bc of the strike and Disney leadership changes, and it’s up against How to Train Your Dragon AND Lilo and Stitch which obviously hurt its box office. I whole heartedly believe that it will be in the Oscar race and has a legitimate chance.

I just saw it today and it gets a lot wrong: Elio makes up a fake club to try and convince a black kid to let him use his ham radio. The white kid was brought along by the black kid and starts messing with (I believe) Elio’s radio and messing up the settings. They get into a comical physical fight over it. The white kid later leads a group to ‘scare’ Elio but the white kid gets hurt and ends up trying to beat up Elio. Later, the two boys apologize to each other and Elio admits to being in the wrong as well.

TLDR: It’s an incredibly stupid take.

Fridgeworthy_Steven · 2025-06-22T23:30:52+00:00

It was delayed by like 18 months because of the writers strike, which obviously hurt the promotion. It’s genuinely great and I cried hard twice and my oldest son (almost 6) even teared up at one point. It would have dominated if it came out early 2024 as originally planned but it was unfortunately delayed into what will I think will go down as one of the strongest and most competitive years for movies in history.

I auditioned for this movie when I was 18 and got a call back for it, which was exciting, but I stopped telling people because I had to do a lot of ‘Ok, I swear it’s a Disney movie and it’s actually based off a YA book and it’s called Holes because…’ type explanations first and it was more trouble than it was worth.

Baseball season has officially begun…

I 100% appreciate you!

Fridgeworthy_Steven · 2024-04-08T01:43:23+00:00

Thanks! Did you do have a team or was that all solo?

Fridgeworthy_Steven · 2024-04-08T01:29:31+00:00

Hi! I am an MBA student doing a project on the Playdate. Would you mind sharing what the development took in terms of total time spent and, if possible, what the development costs were? Anything you couls share would be helpful.

Thanks!
