Landlocked state. Best I can do is pond, lake, and river fish, definitrly not corals. I would like to try bryozoans in my freshwater tank.

Not as good as rubles to robux, but only because robux are a more stable currency with demonstrable value.

Why can’t Canadianites just use rubles like we’ve adopted the US of R.

When someone says “I don’t like or follow politics” my reply is something alomg the lines of “well, that’s your choice, but you know who does take an interest in politics? Your boss, their boss, your bank, your landlord… So go ahead and choose not to care about politics, just shut the fuck up with your whinging about the state of the world you’ve just told me you opt out of having a say in.”
Or something

It is such a dark realization that what causes so much quality of life increases is not productivity or technology but legislation and policy.
And that’s how we got Prosperity Gospel: rich folk trying to justify their lazy asses hoarding wealth and complaining about the people who actually do the work wanting fair compensation for their time and effort.

how expensive it is to be poor
For anyone that needs the read, Terry Pratchett said it so well it is an economic theory now, the Boots theory.
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. … A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. … But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes ‘Boots’ theory of socio-economic unfairness.[4]From Men at Arms by Sir Terry Pratchett

Pea puffers are so cute! I wish I had doscovered them before populating my 20g fresh with other fish. I do want to eventually have a tank with them. We have a 21g salt water AIO that’s being decomissioned (moved it to a 120) that I might explore converting to fresh water.
I totally get the crunchy pop gushers. We had bladder snails in one tank amd when I was showing my wife how easy they were to squish if we wanted to do manual removal…it burst right into her mouth. She wasn’t happy.
The clown loach we hired to take care of the snails did a great job, but, sadly, then wouldn’t eat anything else and starved itself.
I’ve thought about getting one for the malaysian trumpet snails in my other tank but would hate to see another one go the same way. Although, those trumpet snails would feed them for a long while; feeding time turns the substrate into a crawling writhing mass of spiral shells. They do keep the bottom of the tank clean!

My aquarium snails are awesome, salt and freshwater…so many cool little cleaners. Wild caught snails can have parasites but as long as you wash your hands, don’t lick or kiss, and keep it out of your mouth you should be ok.
I haven’t ordered from here but it’s a good place to look at pet snails (terrestrial).
www.snailysnail.com/buy-live-pet-snails-onlineI have ordered from this site; snails arrived alive and are thriving (marine and freshwater).
www.liveaquaria.comI just wish I could build an ocean thermal vent so I could have scaly-foot gastropods, the most metal of snails. Literally, they have metal scales.
