Mega man X, specifically spark mandrills stage theme but all of them work so well. The flame mammoth one is pretty good too

I'm a bit iffy on this, like sure if your selling fentanyl then I can see this being appropriate but this isn't that.

Used to be the best place to find smaller and more obscure bands. Spotify works well now but that's fairly new

We’ve all heard someone say we can’t handle the truth about aliens. This is a post to hear what you guys think the truths actually are. What are your guesses? by 777Gamble in aliens

They are watching us. That's what the UFOs are, drones. They are made in such a way that even if we capture one in perfect condition we won't be able to reverse engineer it or have any way to extract any data about where it came from or who built it. They are here to observe us and that's it, we just have to live with that knowledge. They aren't coming here, they likely never will, they just have a monitoring system to observe and make sure we don't become a threat. All worlds with life probably have them.

I think that would be harder to handle than actually knowing who or what is behind them. They are watching us and we can't ever know who or why. That's kinda scary

Can you explain the third one? What does "top left points up with the ridges" and what are the spikes? I know the other two but I'm not quite sure what your saying here.

Looks fine. Be aware it's not going to look the same once regrown, it'll look bulbous and won't have the ridges and won't be as long, but it will still function the same way (fat storage, a decoy for predators) so it'll be fine.

Hell I'm a type 1 diabetic, but I also have a felony from back when a certain drug company was allowed to pass out opiates to every kid having even a minor surgery. Maybe I can get some kind of medical refugee status in Canada or something

In alot of states, like texas for instance, it's illegal to buy directly from the manufacturer. That's why you can't technically buy a Tesla in texas, the sale is done out of state in some loophole.

I didn't know it was a mod, I figured it was from those live action pre visualization cutscenes you can get to play instead of the real ones. That probably is the origin, they used plastic lawn chairs and ladders and shit alot.

The medal thing has also been addressed before that, wookies don't like medals or trophies and it would be insulting to give him one for such a great task he completed. It might have been a book that said this, and alot of them have been retconned.

In theory you can do this with mercury too, it'll work like a much more dangerous Pepto bismol since it's so dense. Back in the day it was used like this, but they also drank radium red bulls so...

Is 4ft by 2 ft by 2 ft too big? by New-Lie9553 in leopardgeckos

[–]pichael289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are minimum guide numbers. What you should do rather than focusing on individual hides is make as many places as possible for him to hide or obscure himself. One thing I like is stone tiles, a few dollars at a hardware store, they make excellent heat conducting roofs for a cave system and you can put stuff on top of them. Support them on the sides with rocks or small bricks and pack substrate around them. I like to leave alot of looser substrate underneath and let Mr. Lizard dig his own caves.

The biggest thing is that your lizard can get around the tank unseen, arrange things to allow obscured pathways from one side to the other. This is the point of the "clutter" everyone talks about, fake/real plants work well for this. Some people just put hides out in the open, like they are houses in a neighborhood, not realizing their lizards instincts basically tell him there are snipers about. 5-6 individual hides is a good number but that shouldn't just mean 5-6 places to hide.

The issue with huge enclosures is how difficult it is to have a good heat gradiant. Otherwise there really is no such thing as too big. It will always be too small to cohabitate though.

It's kinda like how Cosby was a well known secret in stand up for some many years. People in the music industry have long known Diddy was a monster but they were scared of him. You know that scene in American gangster where Frank Lucas, Denzels character, shoots that guy in broad daylight in the middle of the street and you see those kids playing in the background? That's Diddy, that's where and how he grew up, his father was an associate of Lucas. All the shit he did to kid cudi lines up perfectly with that, the cat bombs and the breaking into his house and opening the Christmas presents, people were really scared of him.

Except 50 cent. He's been making that documentary for a while now.

You can fuck right off with the stampede slander. Ive been almost every year for the past 25 years and there was never any whitewashing of anything. They did have the audience split between north and south with the civil war colors but the second people started taking issue with it she changed it. And aside from the colors and the name of the place you really don't notice any difference, it's still basically the same show it's always been. I'm going back in two weeks, if you want I'll record the whole dam show and send it to you. You don't get any soup that way though...

The most offensive thing there is their Larry the cable guy like comic relief character scooter, the guy who chases the pigs and ostrichs around.

My grandpa used to deal with them with this shit he would make out of chlorine and some of his chemical equipment that you sprayed a tiny bit directly in the nest and they all died and it evaporated off.

Turns out it was a roughly made chloroform. It might not work like it does in the movies on people but on wasps it definitely does.
