    Also recommend Colour Haze's self-titled album, I especially like the song "Peace, Brothers & Sisters!". Groovy stoner rock that isn't too metal or dark.

    For an open-source Reddit-style site, I would say Lemmy is the best option. I host an instance that I set up using the Docker method, and it wasn't that difficult even though I didn't have much Linux hosting experience or any Docker experience. There's also an active Matrix chat room with developers and instance admins that can help troubleshoot any problems you run into.

    Years ago I've set up phpBB forums too, those were very easy to install, basically just extract a zip file to your FTP folder and navigate to the admin page and it walks you through the setup.

    One factor to keep in mind is whether you have your own dedicated server, or are just renting some space on shared hosting. Shared hosting is cheaper but for Lemmy you would need a VPS, one powerful enough for a small instance is like $10/month.

    I hate this type of marketing. Really, the world's first? No one's made a screen dedicated to "things that matter" before?

    here's the paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.01074.pdf

    while multiple methods succeeded in recognising a press of the
    shift key, no paper in the surveyed literature succeeded in recognising the ‘release
    peak’ of the shift key amidst the sounds of other keys, doubling the search
    space of potential characters following a press of the shift key.

    Swarm was a wild ride, hilarious and disturbing. Great writing and acting.
    Finished Extraordinary recently, great superhero comedy with interesting worldbuildling. Reminded me of Misfits.
    Watched the first episode of Poker Face. Cute concept and decent humor, but the plot was kind of dumb and the writings not great. Probably won't continue with the rest of the season.
    Been watching Animal Control as well. It's alright for a workplace sitcom, has room to improve though. Joel McHale's character is too similar to Jeff from Community I think, the loner who thinks he's too cool to have friends initially.

    Mystery snails lay their eggs in a pink clump above the water line, and they take 2 to 4 weeks to hatch. They're pretty hard to miss unless you're going several weeks without checking on your tank...

    Oh yea, we intend to get more mysteries and an assassin when we can source an assassin. We know we can't rely on getting the eggs out in time as @psuedochron mentioned.

    Mystery snails lay their eggs in a pink clump above the water line, and they take 2 to 4 weeks to hatch. They're pretty hard to miss unless you're going several weeks without checking on your tank at all.

    Are you saying that you're planning on keeping mystery snails and an assassin snail in the same tank, and relying on the assassin to keep the mystery snail population in check? I don't think that would work too well; the assassin will likely kill all of the mystery snails, not just the babies.

    I'm wondering why you think this is? I started my aquarium last year with a betta and it hasn't been overly high maintenance or difficult. I follow /r/bettafish and it seems like many beginners...

    Whatever you do, don't get a betta. Betta fish are some of the hardest to keep alive for beginners, even if they had a healthy start.

    I'm wondering why you think this is? I started my aquarium last year with a betta and it hasn't been overly high maintenance or difficult. I follow /r/bettafish and it seems like many beginners have success with it. Most websites that list the best fish for beginners have bettas in the top ten.

    I do agree that it is cruel that most pet stores keep betta fish in small cups. I've seen that there are some stores that do better and keep them in individual tanks though.

    And the law of snails is: You either have one snail, or infinite snails. If you want more than one you need a predator.

    This is very true for some snail species but not all. With mystery snails it is easy to spot and remove the eggs before they hatch. And nerite snails will lay eggs in a freshwater tank but they won't hatch unless they're moved to brackish water.
