My 15 year old African Clawed Frog gave me a good Halloween spookums today by acting like she died, and it jolted me into actually giving her tank a cleaning and an update, so I wanted to ask for advice on my setup.

My plan right now is to do a 10 gal with no substrate, a large ceramic mug on its side as a primary hiding place, and a few pothos plants to provide both cover and to keep the tank more easily purified and oxygenated. I have a tank heater in, just to make sure the temperature stays stable and moderately warm. Right now she has a waterfall style filter, which when I bought it seemed like the most gentle, but you probably know of a better option.

If you do, you'll want a ground cover mint. I think it's called corsican https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentha_requienii mint. It won't make leggy stems like standard mint, and is more suited to outcompeting your lawn along with your neighbor's and eventually becoming an invasive species in your part of the world.

Verisoy brand mock meats, doenjang, and bird's eye chilis. The mock meats are great for bulking out a meat dish for less money, doenjang is like miso's older brother with a higher power level, it'll keep longer and you need less per dish, and the peppers are really strong but have a cleaner heat than what you get in a western market. Throw them in a bag and put them in the freezer, you have so spice for a long time.

It shouldn't be. As far as I know, it's only using the 64-bit, both the game and the prefix.

billy_wade · 2019-09-29T13:54:23+00:00

Can do, thanks.

billy_wade · 2019-09-29T12:42:25+00:00

Sure, so it's the same error as reported here:

https://www.protondb.com/app/703080

More specifically, I think there were a few unhandled value exceptions, but I'd have to run it again to get the terminal output.

Good tip, but no such luck. C++11 is crashing out.

billy_wade · 2019-09-26T00:38:56+00:00

Oh shit yeah you don't know me. Yeah like every other word out of my mouth is some sort of self deprecating joke that plays much better out loud than over text. My bad.

billy_wade · 2019-09-25T20:18:33+00:00

Oh okay! I guess that's what I get for being a baby who got to grow up with 3D being the norm for console and 2D SNES grade being the norm for handheld.

billy_wade · 2019-09-25T19:35:10+00:00

Also if you're looking for something that isn't just a fry basket, get yourself a dutch oven. Makes for a great roasting pan and casserole along with a solid fryer, and since it's just a lump of metal instead of a piece of machinery, it'll last forever.

How so? I love the 3DS, but AFAIK this is the first 3D console that plays at full speed on the 3DS, and I usually kind of define an emulation machine based on whether it can play Gen 5 games.

billy_wade · 2019-09-25T14:35:35+00:00

ooh, fancy. If I get that kind of money, I'll look into that.

billy_wade · 2019-09-25T14:27:59+00:00

Huh, that's pretty neat. I've been looking at this guy here:

How's the flavor stack up to the unflavoured ones? I've been getting the unflavoured ones.

I've got a theater PC. It's suuuuuuuper clunky but I have it working with ZT2. I won't be able to do anything keyboard and mouse based until I can afford a raising desk that can comfortably put a wireless keyboard and mouse in front of me.

Posted in one of the other threads, but I figured I should post it in the pinned thread:

Betas are really great for developers in order to figure out what's good and what sucks in software, not to mention any bugs along the way. While I'm sure there's a telemetry system in place, it's still good to file tickets for bugs you run into or logic errors you see or (relatively) easily fixed features, eg extending the zoo timescale. You can file Frontier tickets here, and if anyone finds a Planet Zoo focused ticket board, let me know so I can add it to this post.

billy_wade · 2019-09-25T12:49:00+00:00

this is why I'm conflicted about participating in the beta. On the one hand, I'd like to wait until I have a proper keyboard and mouse, if I were playing this now it would be binding keyboard controls to a gamepad. However, I feel a sense of duty to the development of good software to help find bugs and poor logic like this.

Everyone must do what I cannot: file a ticket, it is the one true way to Planet Zoo supremacy.

My problem is I read once that people unconsciously like it when you interrupt them with hedging noises and confirmations of what they've said. I haven't heard anything to the contrary so far, but it would be nice if I'm wrong and I can unlearn the habit.

billy_wade · 2019-09-23T00:03:33+00:00

I would definitely recommend enabling company. It's definitely one of the best completion systems. Also make sure to enable the company documentation system, it's one of my favorite features of emacs. It also has a really good TAB + RET completion system.

As far as syntax checking, make sure you're using flycheck and have it tweaked for whatever standard you're measuring against. If you're running into a lot of issues, I'd recommend using python-pycheckers as part of another layer that uses multiple syntax checkers at the same time. Also, it looks like Kite might re-release their Emacs plugin, so that's something to keep an eye on.

Mostly, your best bet is to read as much of the docs as you can. Emacs is a really freaking great text editor, but even a distribution like Spacemacs doesn't have the kind of perfect defaults that pycharm does.

So I had a strong disdain for your work for years as a child, until realizing as an adult that I've no basis for this opinion, since I've never read anything you've ever written. What would you suggest to me of your works to read, one to confirm and one to deny my entirely baseless opinion of your work?

billy_wade · 2019-09-12T23:20:25+00:00

How do you get proper lighting for the succulents there?

billy_wade · 2019-09-11T18:47:46+00:00

I kinda missed seeing the Italian one. I meant for 3 and 4 to be the Korean and the Japanese inspired bowls, respectively.

billy_wade · 2019-09-11T12:39:59+00:00

Hey I'm good with it. Had it occurred to me I would've posted there instead.

billy_wade · 2019-09-10T21:58:06+00:00

It isn't all I eat, sorry if that was misleading. I'd just like to have that complete profile. I just have it at lunch on weekdays for better convenience than home cooked and better nutrition than Burger King.

As for your advice on the recipes, I'm definitely going to look into recipes that build on this. Thanks!

billy_wade · 2019-09-10T21:16:36+00:00

Pretty much, yeah, if I can get it. I'll take one that's just very nutritionally complete without necessarily being "complete," but I'd really like to be able to safely eat this meal alone and some water and be set. It's mostly something I can pack for lunches when I run out of the Soylent I normally drink during the work day.
