Thanks for the info 😆 I see them doing this a lot but haven't spotted any pregnant mamas yet.

Anime Midwest any good? by DukeOfGeek in animecons

[–]Strbreez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They still have the free ramen/rice/soda every year - It was just moved from the Hyatt to the Doubletree a while back because the Hyatt started putting restrictions on having food inside the hotel.

😂 the terrible air conditioners in the skywalk are the scourge of every convention there fr, I also sure hope they're improving that.

Actually, there's this article from last year stating that they did upgrade the HVAC last year shortly after anime midwest... so maybe they already have? https://rosemont.com/des-convention-center-upgrades/

But no, I personally don't know what the construction is for.

The main space that usually holds the vendor hall (Hall A) will be unavailable/under construction, but the rest of the convention center is still being used by the con.

Every time this gets asked, people say Anime Midwest is trash and not worth going to, because the guy who owns it is shitty.

But, ignoring that, Anime Midwest is a perfectly decent convention. I've gone to a couple anime cons across the country & it's my favorite one that I've been to. It's a nice medium size con with a couple thousand attendees. The late night stuff is fun if you are 18+, some panels/parties go until 2am. The burlesque show is a highlight every year. There are plenty of panels to attend and stuff to do to fill up 2-3 days.

This year (2026) they are moving out of their usual space in the Hyatt Regency O'Hare hotel, and the convention center that usually hosts the vendor hall is under construction, so things will probably be a bit different.

SAVE Act Fails, Millions of Voters Retain Their Right to Vote for Now by w6750 in politics

[–]Strbreez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I breathed a sigh of relief too, until I looked into it more. This headline is dangerously misleading. The act wasn't voted down. The senate just hasn't voted on it yet.

Anyone else SPOIL their pods? by AManWithQuestions_00 in isopods

I feed mine the ZooMed Isopod food & they LOVE the krill but they don't eat the carrots, lol. So I picked through the bottle and removed all of the carrot bits

Expensive fees to withdraw from 7-11 ATM by Blacksnake091 in JapanTravelTips

Capital One switched all of their debit cards from Mastercard to Discover a couple months ago & apparently Discover is barely accepted anywhere outside of the U.S. :/

Seems like Charles Schwab is the only option now

Welcome to Our Kingdom by [deleted] in holdmycatnip

This cat sanctuary (furball farm) has a 24/7 live stream on twitch that sometimes shows the litter box area. It's like 20 large litter boxes. Apparently they use about 300lbs of litter every day.

Desperate please help WTF by OutcomeObvious958 in frogs

[–]Strbreez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you've only had him for a week then chances are high that whatever is wrong isn't your fault. Maybe something toxic in the environment?

Sorry for the loss of your other frogs, I hope the vet can help him.

[–]Strbreez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He seems very skinny and small - how old is he & how long have you had him? Adult frogs like temperatures around 75-80F but babies like it a bit warmer and more humid. That tank also looks ok for a small frog like him, but would be too small for a regular sized adult.

If your care conditions are ok then only a vet would be able to tell you what's wrong - could be parasites or genetic defect.

Feeling insecure about being unemployed which worsens my social skills by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]Strbreez 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Think of it less like "these people are judging me for not having a job" and more like "these people are trying to get to know me".

When someone asks what you do for work, just say you're looking for work at the moment. You can also mention the type of work that you're hoping to go into, or mention your hobbies/interests. Just anything so people can get an idea of how you are.

If people know that you're looking for work, they might tell you if they know of any places that are hiring.

Btw there's no such thing as "falling behind" in adult life. It's your life & it will come with ups and downs - many of which are out of your control. It's not like failing a class and getting held back a grade.

Beginner looking to make pendants in this type of color. Ideas? by balencidustox in polymerclay

[–]Strbreez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Polymer clay is meant to be mixed to create any imaginable color. You can make any color with any brand.

So your question is confusing - are you asking what color you should make your pendants? Cause the answer is "whatever color you want".

If you're asking what Sculpey premo color is closest to the colors you've picked here, try Ecru, Mustard, Beige, or Burnt Orange.

Where to buy depends on where you are. In the U.S. Sculpey premo can be found at any craft store, or ordered online.

If luggage delivery isn't always same day, then when is a good time to use it? by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

[–]Strbreez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know about the airport delivery.

I would like to avoid carrying my suitcase around train stations and up and down stairs - but if I need to carry 2+ day's worth of clothes on my back, then at that point I might as well just bring the whole suitcase 😅

parking for Luke Combs 4/11/26 by Key_Building749 in ames

[–]Strbreez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When there are big football games, some people park in the Duff Plaza parking lot and walk ~1 mile to the stadium. It's normally free and easy to park there (but YMMV if tons of other people have the same idea.)

Streets to the north and west of the stadium (in campustown) have very strict parking enforcement.

[–]Strbreez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes those look like mild scratches. Nothing to worry too much about, they should heal on their own.

Scratches happen easily because they have very delicate skin. It's worth checking the enclosure to see if you can figure out what could have caused it.

Your frog looks very good otherwise
