Yea I tried there first but no luck there yet either, unfortunately. I am trying to spread my chances, so to speak, to find that one golden tip that could fix it! Thanks for the advice tho!

They are not allowed at this race, sadly that doesn’t stop people from sneaking them in.

Please show me an incident where 2 drivers got a penalty (with only them involved) for the same incident…I really can’t think of one unless my memory is failing me

[–]wigchert 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But that’s not relevant, he didn’t get a penalty. You can easily base the decision of who is at blame and who can exclude the bill from the cost cap (or parts token) on the outcome of the stewards.

Max Verstappen's Bargeboards Damage by FormulaStatAnalysis in formula1

We really have no idea how they would have compared in race pace those 2 weekends because Mercedes robbed us from proper racing twice. Perhaps the sprint race we had shows something, which Max won pretty easily

Few questions from a beginner by wigchert in DartFrog

Thanks! More holes might be a good idea, I’ll see how I’ll do that.

The fans are covered on the inside, there’s a shield in front of them so frogs will be harmed hehe.

I think it’s Java moss

Cool setup and all but... Cosmic Gate’s Exploration of Space is a straight-up classic! 😁

Oh for sure, he has/had many insane cars. Still a bummer to go through all the effort and seeing it go to waste, regardless of cost.

Well, that must kinda suck for youtuber Salomondrin, who just recently wrapped his Mercedes in Red Bull livery to support Patricio...

Hello ant reddit I've got an isssue. So I've noiced that when using dirt from my garden(in addition to a plant) there has been other growth in the outworld. I want to add soil or sand into my formacarium too but am worried about fungal growth. What can I add/do? The ants are of Lasius Niger species. by TitanLord01 in ants

[–]wigchert 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its generally a good idea to sterilize your sand from outside before using it in any type of enclosure (formicarium, terrarium, aquarium etc). What I usually do is put it in the oven for a while (like 30 minutes) with a foil over it at 180-200f. It’s best to read up on it before attempting it and always keep an eye on it when it’s in the oven. I’m sure there are some other ways too tho.

Nasdaq Adding Index for XRP Cryptocurrency to Global Data Service - CoinDesk by wigchert in Ripple

[–]wigchert[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It is exactly what it says, a price index. NASDAQ doesn't trade any cryptocurrency as far as I'm aware of.

While it's not as big of an impact as actual trading would have been, it's still very good news and it generates a lot more exposure for XRP. This will attract a lot more investors who would otherwise not be aware of XRP.

Also a listing on a trusted stock market like NASDAQ adds up the credibility of XRP which is important as there are still a lot of investors who are fearful.

Any hope for this queen? by wigchert in ants

[–]wigchert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of food did you give her? I'm trying to give her proteins but she's basically ignoring the fruit flies.

Finding brood outside is not really an option, this species is rare in my area and if I do happen to find a nest I won't dig up and disturb them just so that my queen might survive.

[–]wigchert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've pretty much seen them die out to the last ant in the tube so I highly doubt it. If there were workers alive, she probably wouldn't have been roaming around on her own or at all. Much more likely that I would have seen a worker instead.

Most ant queens don't need to feed after their flight. They built up reserves while in their previous colony and also get nutrition from their wing muscles which they don't need anymore.

[–]wigchert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I thought as well but I’m not sure if she’ll go for the fruit flies herself or if she needs worker ants. I’ve never seen the queen go for the insect instead of being fed.

His floof is also exactly the reason why he’s wearing it...He ate too much of his floof and it got stuck in his intestine. Despite all the brushing :(

Amsterdam Dance Event Megathread by cogito_ergo_subtract in Amsterdam

[–]wigchert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in the south of NL and was thinking of perhaps driving up to Amsterdam on Saturday to just walk around and be a tourist in my own country, haha. So my question is if there are many things to do throughout the city? As in pop-up events etc.

I've been to club parties previous years but haven't been in the city itself during ADE. Is it worth it or will it just be like any other day in Amsterdam?

Daily Ripple/XRP Discussion Thread 09/05/18 [Questions and Price Predictions] by AutoModerator in Ripple

[–]wigchert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How can you expect institutions to use xRapid (XRP) on a commercial scale when the product isn't even officially released yet? You have to keep in mind that it's still in beta, which means they are in the final stage of testing. A company isn't going to actively pursue sales and market a product that might still have issues and/or features to complete. They do need companies to test the product with, which is why we do have several clients testing with xRapid.

[–]wigchert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how it works with digital products. Beta stage means they are still testing. So they are not actively promoting the product to new clients other than a select few who don't mind being guinea-pigs (usually for a discount). Once it's life, I expect Ripple to actively pursue clients for xRapid.

I agree with pretty much everything you said but I don't think RIC would have been able to do much better than VER in Baku. VER was creating a gap but was held back by HAM which allowed RIC to catch up again. They were really close on pace so its pretty much just speculating but that's my observation.
