Congrats newly wed! And thank you for everything you do on this server. It’s been so much more enjoyable than other forum-based platforms.

I’ve started reading Uprooted by Naomi Novik and Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel. Uprooted is going more pleasantly than I was expecting. I’ve heard a lot of mixed opinions about it but so far I’m enjoying it. It’s too early to form an opinion on Sea of Tranquility but it’s been a good read so far as well.

You captured her perfectly.

Since about the mid-20th century, C. fuscescens has proven to be a very popular cnidarian to feature at aquariums (and even some zoos with aquatic exhibits), mainly due to the public’s fascination with their bright colors and extremely long tentacles. Additionally, the species is known for being quite low-maintenance in captivity, when provided with the appropriate water parameters and conditions. When these medusae are actively thriving under ideal conditions, they can even be easily bred via the culturing of polyps.

The Pacific sea nettle (Chrysaora fuscescens), or West Coast sea nettle, is a widespread planktonic scyphozoan cnidarian—or medusa, “jellyfish” or “jelly”—that lives in the northeastern Pacific Ocean, in temperate to cooler waters off of British Columbia and the West Coast of the United States, ranging south to México. The Pacific sea nettle earned its common name in-reference to its defensive, ‘nettle’-like sting; much like the stinging nettle plant (Urtica dioica), the sea nettle’s defensive sting is often irritating (possibly mildly painful) to humans, though rarely dangerous.

I’m glad there are people like you who point out what’s AI generated because this dumb idiot (me) can never tell.

Sometimes very cool and serious retro gamers need to feel wholesome.

I’d love to see a full PlayStation series.

The GunCon (also known as G-Con-45) is an official controller released by Namco. It is the first GunCon model, followed by GunCon 2 and GunCon 3. The controller was bundled with the 1997 console port of Time Crisis.

Thank you! I was shooting through the glass. You can see some of the light reflections from the glass on the front of the jellyfish and the lower left is a big ugly indicator, haha.

The lion's mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata), also known as the giant jellyfish, arctic red jellyfish, or the hair jelly, is one of the largest known species of jellyfish. Its range is confined to cold, boreal waters of the Arctic, northern Atlantic, and northern Pacific Oceans. It is common in the English Channel, Irish Sea, North Sea, and in western Scandinavian waters south to Kattegat and Øresund. It may also drift into the southwestern part of the Baltic Sea (where it cannot breed due to the low salinity). The largest recorded specimen was measured off the coast of Massachusetts in 1865 and had a bell with a diameter of 210 centimetres (7 feet) and tentacles around 36.6 m (120 ft) long. The lion's mane jellyfish uses its stinging tentacles to capture, pull in, and eat prey such as fish, zooplankton, sea creatures, and smaller jellyfish.
