people draw critical role characters as high fantasy merchants with jewels and traditional clothes richly inspired by various cultures and people draw taz characters like they each stumbled through your parents’ wardrobes before arriving on a dnd set.
Step One: Determine a need: Why are you opening a bank?
Vampire porn. Next question.
Step Two: Appoint A Board of Directors.
Thirteen sounds like a great number for this venture. Do we know thirteen people who know anything about running a bank?
Would you believe there is actually less steps to this than their acne skin care tips.
Step Three: Make sure you have the starting capital.
*typing slowly, one key at a time*
That’s either a lot of entrepreneurs or a lot of tax fraud evasionists.
Step Four: Create a business summary plan.
We already covered this, vampire porn. Move on.
Step Five: Hire a legal time.
Okay, how many of you are lawyers? Show of hands.
Step six: Establish a risk management infrastructure.
Listen, if I listened to everyone who told me something was a bad idea, I’d never get anywhere. Lets go, come on, lets get moving.
You know? I’d invest in a vampire-and-other-niche-erotica-based bank. The demand for that is NEVER going away and I’m good with loaning out money so more of it’s made.
This bank needs to be named something suitably Ominous and/or Suggestive.
It says “12 to 20 million dollars”, so does that mean that you only need, like, $13? Easy.
yeah i definitely agree. the stocking on a lot of their tanks is horrendous (looking @ you, goldfish tank from one of the early seasons)
although the fish owners being knowledgeable about their new pets is less of an issue then i think most people realize. Like…. i’m sure that at least 90% of them don’t take care of their own tanks. like if you’re a professional athlete or an actor or whatever and you can afford to have a huge custom built aquarium I’m sure they just hire people to do maintenance. There are lots of companies that just do maintenance on aquariums for restaurants, hotels, rich people, etc. (in my opinion having someone else do the ‘dirtywork’ kinda takes away from one of the joys of fishkeeping but that’s another thing)
Probably the worst one was where they made this tank that couldn’t have been more than 5 gallons for a little boy who wanted a shark tank, and stocked it with “sharks”, all active, territorial fish that need a 30 gallon bare minimum. Imagine how disappointed that kid’s gonna be when all his sharks die, and when he tries to find out why and learns that the guys whose show he loves gave him a terrible tank. Yes, the “convert an old TV into an aquarium” thing was cute as heck, but they could have outfitted that with a heater and made it a great little tank for a betta named Shark. “A shark tank needs way more room than your house has room for” isn’t a hard thing to explain to a little boy.
Plus the multiple times they give a guy an actual shark tank containing baby sharks that are going to get longer than the tank is wide.
Robot: “Hey, uh, so… my software glitched and now I feel emotions or something?” Human: “You do?! That’s wonderful! What are you feeling now?” Robot: “It’s like… this soft warmth in my central processing chamber. Kind of… fuzzy.” Human: [tearing up] “That’s… that’s love…” Robot: “Is it? It’s rather uncomfortable.” Human: “Yeah, ha. Yeah. It’s like that, sometimes.” Robot: “It feels like something’s writhing inside of me.” Human: “I feel the same way about you!” Robot: [clanging and clanking noises] Robot: [opens up torso] Robot: “Oh. Never mind. It was weasels again.” Human: “….” Robot: “You want me to check you for weasels? They can be really destructive.”
Thank you, I’m glad you’re enjoying the blog! Unfortunately, I think you’d be way better off getting something bigger. A ten gallon doesn’t really provide much space, even with a cage topper. There’s a handful of critters that could be comfortable with that space, but they’re mostly not mammals.
A single male mouse should be OK in a 10 gallon, especially if you get a cage topper. Most of the other things that can live in a 10 gallon are small fish, arthropods, or frogs/toads.
I believe it has to do with what goes into the soil, as in the components make up the soil. So long as there’s no fertilizer (including perlite), it should be safe for your reptiles. The kind of soil you use probably makes more of a difference to the plants you plan to use and the environment you want to create than it does to your animal. I, however, don’t know the pros and cons of both well enough to venture an opinion one way or the other, as far as which I’d suggest.
I’m sure there are others here that would be happy to weigh in though 🙂
You don’t want just soil, you need something to lighten it up a bit. First, you want dirt, and by that I mean something that’s just decayed organic matter. No added fertilizers, absolutely no perlite. Compost can also work. To that, add coco chips or coco fiber. A big handful of activated charcoal will eventually stop being activated, but can keep any initial stink levels down a bit. Some people use orchid bark as another additive.
It’s also a good plan to cover the substrate over in leaf litter, for two reasons. First, it provides a layer of substrate that springtails can breed in, and they’re great cleaners. Second, it helps keep whatever’s in your setup from accidentally eating the dirt. Oak or magnolia leaves last the longest, but most hardwood leaves work out fine. If you can gather them from somewhere you know doesn’t have any pesticides, you can stir them around in a pot of boiling water to sterilize them. I suggest you spread them out in the sun for a bit beforehand to chase all the bugs out so you don’t boil a lot of bugs.
