The garlic in the purple fishnets made me feel some kinda way as a kid

Guests? It's Merzbow time

Autechre are my all time favorite artists. You can absoloutely dance to Autechre.

Hunters who are good at tracking are able to follow a squonk by its tear-stained trail, for the animal weeps constantly.

:(

Been a long time since I've seen this movie, but I always thought the point of the neonazi was specifically to point out how alike the two were. At the end of the scene where he kills him, the scene is shot in a reflection in a mirror. He kills the nazi, nazi drops out frame in the reflection, leaving just the MC, who then shoots and shatters the mirror itself.

Wasn't he also watching the neonazi through reflections in a store's security mirrors earlier? It's really been a long time.

I always assumed the point of the movie was to show how stupid the idea of the "White Man's Burden" and white persecution complex was, with some critique of American exceptionslism thrown in.

I shouldn't be surprised that some people took the exact opposite from the film and empathize with the MC. Kind of reminds me of Fight Club in that sense.

I went with an attempt at bioactive, with basically the same substrate but I added a couple plants.

Awesome that you're utilizing live plants - we plan on doing the same with our next milli tank

I have a feeling she ate them

Probably ha. Nature is flexible and opportunistic

Would isopods compete with the millis?

While some species of millipede and isopod should be capable of coexisting in theory, I wouldn't take the risk myself. There are many protein-driven isopod species that would likely have no qualms munching on a millipede while vulnerable during a molt. Even isopod species that aren't necessarily protein driven are still opportunistic feeders. It's just asking for trouble, as well as complicating the husbandry.

If you have or wanted to make a post about your critters I think it would have a warm (cold) reception. I, for one, would love to see more Thanks for the reply! It made me happy

I'm glad! Maybe I'll make a post about our collection somewhere at some point :)

What an awesome setup! Can you give us some details about it?

Thanks! Not sure how much detail you're interested in, so prepare for an infodump..

Current setup for these millis is a 10gal glass aquarium with an acrylic top. Substrate is a mix of things - a solid layer of peat & soil on the bottom with layers of leaf litter, sphagnum moss and decomposing hardwood (which they eat).

They also munch on raw fruits & veggies - mine especially love cucumbers, mushrooms and apples - and have cuttlebone for calcium. They have a shallow water dish they can use, which I overfill to keep the substrate moist and humidity high. They share their space with springtails that act as a cleanup crew and keep mold from growing

I have multiple corkbark tubes buried in the sub that they enjoy crawling into and hiding in (they spend most of their time hiding out), but when they're out exploring they crawl all over the place

Do you handle them?

As with all of our invertebrates, we avoid handling them unless absolutely necessary/unavoidable - more for their safety than ours. Unlike some of our other inverts, the urge to handle these guys is hard to repress

Also, I see you got other things going on. Wanna share any other critters you have?

We keep all sorts of inverts, but spiders and tarantulas are our main obsession. We have over 50 tarantulas, hundreds of jumping spiders, and a small variety of other true spiders.

Here's my crested gecko, Yoshi, looking extra colored up

What a beautiful gecko! Great name too, ha! I think they're awesome but I know very little about their actual care and husbandry (my partner is the reptile expert) 😅

What are they doing in the last picture, just checking in with each other?

((,,((,,((,,((,,((,,(( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Is this specific to smoking, or is it nicotine in general?

Some millipedes can excrete mild skin irritants, and I believe there are some rare tropical ones that can excrete cyanide? But millipedes can't bite (they are detrivores) and are generally harmless.

Centipedes are the bitey ones with gnarly venom.

Here's a couple of my Giant African Millipedes (Archospirostreptus gigas). They're the largest extant species of millipede (mine are over 10") . They are super gentle, slow moving, social creatures. I think they're both adorable and fascinating.

EDIT I'm an idiot and can't ever get spoiler tags to work in Boost

While that is one method some growers use, it's far from a settled debate and honestly seems more like "bro science" - which the cannabis community as a whole suffers from a lot (dont get me started on the indica vs sativa nonsense). In my personal experience I've grown using both methods and seen negligible differences between the two.

Spiders can absolutely become addictive though! I got my first pet jumping spider a couple years ago. I fell down the rabbit hole inadvertently pulling my lifelong arachnophobe partner with me. Our collection now inlcludes hundreds of jumpers, about 60 tarantulas, and a handful of other true spiders. Spiders fuggin rock.

I see a jumping spider, I upvote.

For anyone needing more flexing jumping spiders (sans photoshop) this photographer has an amazing collection of photos:
