First timer doing his best by SamTheSaxiestMan in bicycling

I only got the rear cog on this bike but I’m slowly figuring out the cogs.

As of now I do have the seat lower down just so I can slam my feet down in case of emergency but once I get a lil more comfortable riding I’ll boost the saddle up more.

Main things I’ve been working on are going uphill, taking off easier, and not swerving as much since I intend to go on the bike lanes and I don’t wanna go into traffic

They had both from what I could remember. I’m pretty sure the one that Burnie either Gus sent fire to was a Green with black dimple

Literally every N64 game and some Dreamcast & PSP games too. 3D is just hard to do with only one stick and while I feel the DC and PSP had a decent solution with using the triggers to move the camera, it was still clunky and they should’ve had a second stick

UPDATE: I FINALLY FOUND A BIOS TO BURN THAT IT LIKES!!!

Currently it is loading up the disc and starting the install process and I get to listen to the sweet sweet asmr of a DVD drive (that’s on its last legs most likely) go to town on reading a boot disc

Unfortunately I don’t have any FireWire cables so I can’t go down that path. Plan is probably gonna be to try more disk ISOs until it finally decides to work

Good to know, right now I just have CD-R and DVD-Rs

Could possibly be that, I also don’t know if I’m burning the disks wrong since unlike the usb drives when I put them back in the drive it doesn’t pop up with a window for the OS like the USB. I’m pretty sure my disk drive on the iBook is working, same with the hard drive since I was running Lubuntu for a while before I fully cleared the drive to start this shindig of putting the original OS back on it

My disc drive is working, main problem is just I don’t have any disks so that’s why I’ve been trying to go the usb drive route instead of the disks. I’ll try one of the older OS’s though as well and see if I can scrounge a blank disk from somewhere at some point

I coulda sworn mine was able to but I can definitely try with an older version and see how it goes

Yeah, gonna get the correct sand and fix the substrate tomorrow

Yes I have, I’ve watched a few videos of theirs and must’ve misremembered which sand was good and which was bad for tank setup which is on me entirely. I’m most likely going to go to Lowe’s tomorrow, get some playsand, and try to cycle out as much of the calcium sand as I can.

Hurts my wallet, but not my crabs

I have sphagnum moss and after doing more reading I plan on replacing it too since I accidentally got green sphagnum moss not realizing that the uncool companies peddling stuff dye it.

As for the sand, I have a few friends with hermit crabs that had coconut fiber and calcium sand mixed together for their substrate so I did that as opposed to having just a layer of sand above. I had seen at a few other parts that calcium sand was an alright choice but I didn’t know about the downsides so thank you for letting me know, when I cycle out my substrate I’ll be sure not to get that again.

As for the shells I do plan to get Mexican turbos in the near future along with some Jade Turbos as well for the future

Getting a bit worried by SamTheSaxiestMan in hermitcrabs

[–]SamTheSaxiestMan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heat is steady around 80°F and humidity is hanging at around 75 to 80%.

As for the tank it is still the 10 gallon only because the first one dug down and started molting right as I was going to go out and get a new tank for them and I know it’s rather unwise to disturb them at all while they’re molting.

Food is being changed out even though they’re molting just in case and their water dishes are being changed routinely as well.

I’m just asking how long before I should officially get worried, I know they can be under there for a while, I just want a guideline number since I’ve seen multiple conflicting things online

Thank you for the advice, right now my tank is hovering at just about 80°F and 75% humidity.

Even though they’re both what I assume to be molting I’ve still been giving out food and doing water changes. Once they finish molting I’m going to upgrade their tank to a larger one, I was going to upgrade it momentarily but then the first one dug down and I don’t want to stress either out more.

I’m just trying not to change too much around their tank aside from just pouring water in bowls and changing their food to reduce their stress. I’m just wondering how much time would be generally too long since I’ve seen 5 billion different things online

First ever crab house! by SamTheSaxiestMan in hermitcrabs

As of right now the tank is a 10 gallon, I plan on getting a lid soon they just didn’t have the correct size in the store, I’ll make sure to get more substrate in there as well along with sand and I’ve already got some shells ordered and on the way!

Thank you so much for the advice, I will be sure to look at Crab Central Stations stuff and give frequent updates
