DrGravitas Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 We only managed to get one of the after-hours monitoring laptops to connect to the network. The primary monitor couldn't get his but I could get mine. We tried his credentials on the working laptop and it'll work as long as it isn't fully shut down. Soooooo, he's taking the laptop and I don't have to provide support monitoring tonight! 8D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallium Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Never in my life was I thinking I'd be raising gross roaches But since we got Rio my beardie it's been a good idea to have a ton of them in bulk as feeder insects. She's too young to eat crickets or superworms since they contain too much chitin for her to healthily ingest, so I resigned to getting those for her as substenance. The baby ones dont actually bother me, they could crawl on me and I wouldnt mind. The medium sized ones are still a little creepy but Ive learned to pick them up by pinching their soft back shells in two fingers to avoid the prickly dangly legs. The adults terrify me though and Ive yet to pick them up in any way successfully without flinching if at all, their shells are harder and more segmented and they have large prickly legs and ew ew ew. All that said I dont mind dubias as much as gross american pest roaches (or any pest variarion thereof). I actually dont hate all roaches that much and I kind of am intrigued by the Madagascar hissing roach. I imagine if I ever told anyone I had about 1,000 roaches in a container in my home I could see the look of horror in their face. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUGH THE ONES WITH WINGS my rule for bugs is if they're any bigger than one of my fingernails, they may not have long prickly legs or gross looking wings. if they pass those requirements, they must also not have the potential to bite, pinch, irritate, and/or sting me. also, they shall not cling to me or have very noticeable compound eyes or mouthparts. then and only then would i conceivably touch them. mantises are iffy as far as whether or not they're an exception; i love them from a distance, but even they can be really gross looking or scary up close. e__e they're the roach's passably attractive cousin; you don't realize they're related until it's too late. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing about these wings is they dont seem to use them actually, all they really do is crawl around looking gross (theyre poor climbers too they cant even climb plastic or glass surfaces). Most insects in the wild I dont have a problem with because I dont go around touching most wild insects rather then just looking at them. I still like a lot of insects most people hate anyways (mainly spiders and beetles) The minute they reach home territory and are super gross, potentially harmful, or the infesty type then they are definitely going to die (or go outside...)

Crazy Lee Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 So, I'm debating to myself whether it's worth spending the $90 for pre-reg sponsorship badge at the local furry con in a week. Mind you, sponsorship AT THE DOOR was $70 last year, and now it's $20 more for pre-reg, and $25 ($95) at the door. Why the fuck the sudden higher price? $5-10 jump I can understand, but $25? In any case, regular admission is $40 pre-reg, and $45 at the con. Pros to Sponsor badge: - Sponsor lounge. - Sponsor lounge has free food. (Food options locally include McDees, TacoHell, a coney island, Chilis, Big Boy, a hibachi place, and I think some Mexican restaurant) - Sponsor lounge has free BEER. (beer is locally made craft beer, not budweiser piss shit) - Also, you get a shirt and a mug. yay. Cons to sponsor badge: - The food at the sponsor lounge has been pretty basic in the past. Lunch is bread, sliced meats, cheese, pb, jam, make your own damn sandwich. Dinner's not that hot either. - I don't drink heavily, although i do want to get a bit drunk on Friday. However, you cannot leave the sponsor's lounge with the beer. Which hurts because there's a room party on Friday and it's BYOB. - I really don't care about the shirt and mug, really. I mean, considering I'd spend $20+ a day on food at the local restaurants, the sponsor's lounge may be a better deal if I can ignore the basic buffet-style food options. I'll have to do maths and figure this shit out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the beer selection that I want. The list looks pretty good. I don't get a lot of the east side craft beers over here. Some of its 20%, plus they have a limited supply of mead. I will say though I still like to by a meal at the hotel restaurant as well. Breakfast is blah, but lunch and dinner food is great. And I want to support the hotel.

Saxon Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I find it a bit confusing that when Americans discuss nationality or culture that they often uniformly agree that America is the best country in the world. The British often do this too, because we routinely use the phrase 'Great' to imply that Great Britain reigns superior. It would be almost as silly as the Dutch complimenting themselves on living in the best country on Earth...except they don't do that because they realise what a self-congratulatory waste of time that would be and that the notion of a 'best' country is so poorly defined that it isn't meaningful. At best we can state with at least some confidence that countries like France and Australia are better places to live than Venezuela or Uzbekistan, because a vast disparity in the standards of living exist between such nations. When it gets to the point of trying to decide whether Denmark is better than New Zealand, it's just a waste of time though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
