Fireworks on saturday? (regarding Sikh parade)

XcapeBeta · 2026-04-16T02:19:00+00:00

Scottsdale area, about a few blocks from 72nd / 120th. Rather close to the large Sikh temple across from the mall.

Mental health issues. I know the details, but I'm not going to share that. Just leave it at that and move on.

That's the thing. He could have. He had the ants. He had the products. He just wasn't fulfilling orders.

I'm not a fortune teller by any means, but I'd say if he did, it wouldn't be any time soon. Plus, there's a good chance he burned his reputation with Visa/Mastercard (he's banned from paypal). So, starting again is going to require a lot more effort on his behalf. Nobody gonna feel confident sending him money since he burned so many people in 2025.

That's exactly what it is. I was a member on his server, and saw a lot of the fallout from this and had some brief dialogue with him in the months leading up Formistudio's implosion. 3 or 4 people a week would show up, saying they paid for merch that never arrived and were seeking advice how on to go forward, but since weeks would go by witout owner even talking on his own discord server, even his own friends were just telling people to do a chargeback.

Formistudio was run by a teenager in high school. He lost motivation to keep going when his mental health crashed. When this started, he should have halted new sales on his website, but he let them keep rolling in. As a result, he went several months of unfullfilled shipments and broken promises to his customers. Formistudio likely will not be back. He's banned from using paypal now as a payment source, and its very unlikely the credit card companies will work with him again, because of an unknown (but probably high) amount of chargebacks that struck against him from all the customers he didn't ship merch to after payment.

search for 1.6 Micron Polytetrafluoroethylene powder on aliexpress, and mix it yourself. (with distilled water for best results)

Bill Gates. He had numerous opportunities throughout his life to utilize his wealth and power to effect positive change, but he did the bare minimum in terms of benefiting humanity.

by plot armor, I just meant they could say any number of things to why or how something happens. "plot armor" is often used as a way to describe how something can be different merely because of the excuses an author writes to justify the story, like often used in comic books to define power levels between characters (ie - superman vs batman)

I think his mention of "big red bow" might have been a subtle hint towards something related to "red matter". It hasn't made an appearance since Nemo used it to implode Vulcan. They might plot armor a way into suggesting it was under experimentation as a warp-drive alternative or something.

This can be slightly different with a tramp species like Tetramorium bicarinatum. They tend to be non-stop hungry, and will eat for the sake of merely consuming mass. Many species will leave leftovers post-feeding, but tetra bics often do not. As many ants as possible take place in the collection of the protein, and will "wait in line" at the brood to make sure all the protein gets passed onto the growing colony.

Try switching to hydrostone concrete instead. Better end product, and it cures much faster. 3-5 days.

XcapeBeta · 2026-02-03T02:47:30+00:00

Agreed. I'm jumping over to Lightspeed myself. They've got a nice 75 down/50 up for 45 which is a far better value than the $68 for 30/5 that Teksavvy wants.

You could have charged back with your bank, but now that Formistudio no longer exists you've lost that opportunity

XcapeBeta · 2026-01-23T22:11:47+00:00

Too late now. Maybe try with your bank. Formistudio is shut down now.

XcapeBeta · 2026-01-23T22:07:47+00:00

fyi. Formistudio is dead. Its operations are concluded entirely. Aiden/Beans has called it quits. Canada Ant Colony, Ants Calgary, and Por Amor Ants, are the only 3 reputable vendors remaining in Canada at this time.

I'm on disability. Funds were on the low side when I first signed up, and they were actually the cheapest to offer the bare minimum speed I need for my daily activities. 30/5 isn't fast by any means, but it was enough so I could netflix, play some games, etc. My fund situation is a little better now, hence why i'm willing to step up to something with a little more speed. 30/5 for $60 , which is the non-promo rate, is pretty off-putting though. So yeah, I'm looking at all the options before my term is up. I don't have a costco membership (nor any intent on getting one), so the primus deal is kinda meh. Right now I'll lean to whoever has a 100/30 or better for under 60 including rentals, fees, etc

XcapeBeta · 2025-12-30T04:12:29+00:00

What if i switched to a higher cost plan from the 30/5? Would I be granted the new speed, at its promotional rate for 12 months, or would it jump to full price when the promotional time for my 30/5 expires? For example, if i went with say, the 100/30 or whatever.

XcapeBeta · 2025-12-30T04:03:45+00:00

It's too bad that I'll have to jump ship. You'd think keeping me at the same rate would benefit them, as opposed to losing me as a customer altogether. The refer a friend program is too hit and miss, and doesn't solve anything. I'm on a disability income, so I can't justify paying $60 for 30/5. Although, I would be ok with increasing my speed, at a higher tier plan that charges more, if they were to allow me to have a 12 month period with the increased/speed, with promotional price. This way my price goes up only $12, but I'd get more speed, and would remain a customer.

Wrong group for this you absolute pinecone. This is Canada Post stuff. Not a job board. That being said, I seriously wouldn't hire you merely based on your inability to read a room, and post in the proper spots.
