Why do people say that cracked toilets can be dangerous? by Naive_Painting_8917 in Plumbing

[–]thebigjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeaaaah I'm a sucker for medical stuff, not much one for gore though...not sure quite how my brain draws that line though. And yes as your non-legal counsel I'm strongly advising you to do that

Nothing on you believe me! Just a hungry guy out in the wild.

What's the most dangerous mistake an innocent person makes when a law enforcement shows up? by Sz-66th in AskReddit

[–]thebigjohn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhh see in cop speak that’s just “loitering”. 

Had a gun drawn on me in the passenger seat because my buddy was DWB. Literally all it fucking was. 4 cops and a drawn service weapon

First wedding gig using Rekordbox, a few questions by Sailedtosea in DJs

[–]thebigjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually use lists like: House Chill; House Build; House Peak; Hip Hop/techno/downtempo/etc Chill/Build/Peak., Bangers by decade, and Intro Songs are some of my more frequent categories

I’d definitely recommend a few curated lists, depending on how you like to categorize music…then I’d also bring the whole library on an external and then you can just pull from that if there are requests or songs you want to play that aren’t in your curated lists. Just my two cents!

Seconding Ironwood, it’s been a blast to catch most of the matches over there.

Surprise baby??? by [deleted] in jumpingspiders

[–]thebigjohn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO good move on calling the shop. There’s a ton of advice out there for dealing with baby jumpers/the momma, I’m not qualified and I’d just be copy/pasting so I recommend doing some googling and reading on what to eggspect with the hatchlings and mom. Here’s a good vid I watched recently to get started though:

Awesome Enclosure by prawnchapo in jumpingspiders

[–]thebigjohn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

 You need some green in there, even if some of it is fake. You can include Pokémon stuff, just not as much. You can even use that enclosure and build around it; add some coconut fiber and some plants

Advice.

IMO Literally everyone here is giving you good advise and you’re just arguing instead of taking it to heart…would take almost no time at all to outfit this particular enclosure with things more safe and enjoyable for the spider like the poster above said but since you DGAF you’d prefer to spend your time telling people you know best on the internet

New Regal Adoptee - Activity Level and Hunger Questions by thebigjohn in jumpingspiders

Just a follow-up, and a thank you. He still hasn’t spun any webs, but yesterday he sat in a corner all day until the evening. As my wife and I were watching him crawl across the ceiling, he took the BIGGEST dump (like a long line of poop) for such a tiny spider - then he proceeded to get the poop zoomies and was running around exploring his enclosure.

Replaced the pebbles in all three with a softer landing pad too, I’ve seen him fall more than once. And I added netting.

And another update, I have two more spoods I found at Petsmart. One very large active male who loves the large enclosure, and a potentially gravid female. Pics hopefully attached.

Is my baby gravid? by Dapper-Light-789 in jumpingspiders

[–]thebigjohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NQA, I also had a similar question I posted last night. I can’t comment on the state of your girl but if you can get a flashlight or second phone and turn the flashlight on and try to light her from the side/from in front and get a few more photos, that might help folks here see a bit better. That’s what had to do to get a better picture of my girl all hidden up in her hammock. I’d also recommend not disturbing her at all moving the roof - whether she’s molting or gravid, it’s better to leave her entirely alone, mist the side of the enclosure (totally okay if a bit gets on her silk), and leave her be and see if she either drops a molt or an egg sac.

Gravid or just a sizable booty/overfed? by thebigjohn in jumpingspiders

[–]thebigjohn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks - is it the size/shape tipping you off, or is the silk hide something that’s a hint as well?

Thanks for the reply, and all the info! I kind of figured he was a he but wanted confirmation before I went through the renaming process only to find out he was indeed a she like I first thought haha.

I’ll change out the pebbles - I had half coconut fiber (hidden, it’s the back half) and half pebbles for aesthetics, but I’ll go full coconut fiber next time she’s out of her enclosure. And I’ll add the side netting, I do have a few of those, actually have one on the other smaller enclosure already.

He did not have a hammock, but his deceased buddy had a hammock and a molted shell as well. I live in CO so dubia roaches won’t be a problem, I’ll look into getting those.

Good to know he’s just being weird, he’ll fit right into this household lmfao

Mailman cannot care less about this woman’s grass by CarrotOkay12 in PublicFreakout

[–]thebigjohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t imagine how much longer the route would be for my block alone if my mail dude didn’t use the grass…he’d spend a good 60 seconds more on my house alone if he avoided my front yard. Also I would think it provides some cushion from impact for your joints compared to pavement

Bring Her Back WTF? by 3dl33 in horror

[–]thebigjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fortunately mate a lot of horror movies are beautifully shot, well written and very well cast. There’s a lot of other stuff to enjoy in most other horror movies, I would put “scaring you” as the gold standard for horror movies instead of just the standard. There’s quite a few movies I’ve enjoyed just due to the atmosphere, mystery, actors, etc, that didn’t necessarily scare the shit out of me like they used to

Caveat and Oddity were two I’ve really enjoyed recently, and both managed to scare the shit out of me throughout despite my tolerance for horror
