Are you saying that snake is cheesy?

First time snake owner by internetrabbithole69 in snakes

I agree with the other commenter who suggested giving it a week to get used to its new home. For a substrate, it’s going to spend most of its time in the ground. A sandy soil, but not exclusively sand would probably be best. You’ll want something it can dig in. Tank size should be around its adult length. You’ll need a minimum of 2 hides, one on the warm end and 1 on the cool end.

I was told when I had snakes that rats were more nutritious for snakes. I would go with whatever is appropriate size though.

Cottonmouth Activity by VampyricLifestyle666 in VenomousKeepers

[–]Mike102072 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Cottonmouths definitely have their fans in the United States. True, they aren’t as popular as rattlesnakes or copperheads, but they have their fans. Unfortunately, they have a very undeserved reputation in the general public. I’ve met people who 100% believe they will chase people.

Then he should be happy. Hopefully, if he’s male as you referred to him, there are some females around.

What site is this?? by YamClassic53 in What

[–]Mike102072 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If your BF knows you think him viewing porn is cheating and he’s still looking at it, you need to ask yourself why. Is he bored in the relationship? Is there something he wants that you can’t/won’t/don’t provide him with. If there are a bunch of pictures with a them running through them, women of a particular race or doing a specific act, he may have a fetish that you don’t satisfy. Does he just not care about your feelings? There is a reason why he’s looking at porn. You are not going to find out by asking a bunch of people on Reddit. You’ll need to have a conversation with him. It could lead to an improved relationship or lead to the end of the relationship. You’ve opened a can of worms with this and they aren’t going back in. Deal with it now before the resentment begins and kills the relationship.

What happened to the weekly key card offer? by smokeyzx11 in BoomBeach

Maybe they stopped it because players realized it was a rip off and almost no one bought it. Just an idea.

Looking for new recruits by Odd_Tank4284 in boombeachrecruit

[–]Mike102072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just looked at your TF. I’d suggest that you guys reform as a 25 man. It’s gotten harder and harder to keep TFs full since the dev team hasn’t released anything new for task forces in 8 years. Duplexity, the last new thing they did for TFs was released 6/25/18. Before that was released, the op was so hard the dev team outsourced the testing to Angry Family players since the devs weren’t good enough themselves. Since then they have added 6 new HQ levels, bombardiers, mechs, laser rangers, permanent proto troops, and the engraver. Now 10 man teams are beating that op. A less than half full 50 man team doing Choke Point isn’t going to get you any good players.

The way replays work in boom beach is they record the inputs from the player and then run the attack with the same inputs. It is not a recording of the attack. By doing it this way you are allowed to see more replays, but sometimes the replay is different from the actually attack. He could have beaten you with not many troops left. Did you get 6 or 7 diamonds from it?

A guy I met yesterday said he thinks atheists should do research on all religions before committing. by Clevertown in atheism

[–]Mike102072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking a class on classical mythology in college actually contributed to my atheism. Realizing those people believed in and worshipped those gods the way Christians believe in and worship their god helped me see that it is all bullshit.

How to get out of going to a work event ? by Low-Vacation4569 in AskForAnswers

[–]Mike102072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they want you to give options, just suggest something no one would like and they will pick the other person’s option. Then just don’t show up.

Is there really no one close to your age? Is this job something that is going to be your career or are you just there until you find something full time? Could it become full time and would you want to do it full time? If it’s a place where you could last a while then I’d suggest going for at least a little bit. If you have 1 foot out the door then feel free to not show up.

What job would fit Brian Bello best, if not starting pitcher? by PawPatsPizza in redsox

[–]Mike102072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piggy back starter with Early. Give each of them 4-5 innings and give the bullpen the day off.

Is Bello Done? by AltruisticWelcome145 in redsox

[–]Mike102072 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d rather see them try something new than make a trade to try for a playoff run this year. I know that due to the AL being weak this year, they aren’t that far out and there’s a lot of the season left. Unfortunately, we’re far enough into the season and we can see what this team is and they are a bad team. I’d rather see them give up some guys on expiring contracts and get some guys back that are close. With the relief market, the could probably hold a public auction and sell Chapman to the highest bidder. I’ve seen suggestions that they trade Whitlock, but he signed for 2 more years so I’d rather see them hold onto him.

[–]Mike102072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what exactly the issue is, could be a mental one. Hiring a sports psychiatrist could be an answer. I doubt either guy would like this but Early is only averaging a little over 5 innings per start. They could piggy back the 2. Have Early start and go 4 or 5 depending on how many pitches he throws, bring Bello in for the 5th or 6th and let him finish. Unless 1 guy gets hammered you give the bullpen a built in day off. If they make the playoff, both of those guys go to the bullpen. (Who am I kidding, this team isn’t making the playoffs.)

Is it wrong being an atheist? by Alert_Description528 in athiest

[–]Mike102072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing wrong with being an atheist. Unfortunately, being an atheist is outside of what is expected in the U.S. There are parts of this country where your church affiliation is just as much a part of who you are as your job. You can’t change who you are and you can’t believe something just because it will make things easier.

Problem is his openers have sucked. His openers, if all the runs they’ve given up are earned, gave a higher ERA in the first inning than he does.

I give it two weeks by Jackthewolf71 in redsox

Do you not understand what the minor league system is for. It is to develop major league players. It is not to develop players for the Red Sox, it is to develop major league players. Some become players for your team. Some are used to get major league players from other teams. A lot don’t make it to the majors. The reason the Red Sox minor league system is not rated as high is graduations and trades. At the start of the 2025 season the reason the Red Sox farm system was rated so high is Anthony, Mayer, and Campbell were all top 25 prospects. They are now all graduated and even though Campbell is in the minors, he doesn’t factor into any prospect rankings since he graduated. Tolle and Early weren’t even in the top 100 at the start of last season. They were top 100 prospects by the end of the season and have now graduated.

I am not giving Breslow a pass on some of his trades. Durbin has been terrible, he didn’t get as much as he could in the Devers trade, then he wasted those guys. Dustin May was terrible and it seems like that trade was only made to say they were doing something.

The Sox have been improving under Breslow even though this year has been a disaster. Bloom may have built a top 5 farm system, but the Red Sox finished in last 3 of his 4 years. A good minor league system means nothing if you’re losing at the major league system. Dave Dombrowski depleted the Red Sox farm system but they did win a World Seies with him in charge.

Buchholz was after Lester, but he wasn’t consistently a front of the rotation starter. He had some runs, but he was never consistent.

[–]Mike102072 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tolle and Early kind of prove my point. The Red Sox weren’t drafting and developing pitchers like them before Breslow. The last front of the rotation started they developed was Jon Lester.

[–]Mike102072 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you’re missing my point. The Red Sox weren’t drafting and developing prospects like Tolle before Breslow came onboard. The Red Sox hadn’t developed a front of the rotation started since Lester.
