Thanks for everything, guys! My sister put the slides on backward! I got it on!

Is there a video I could reference?

Flip them? they slide along the inside of the slide

Oh boy Jill. I was crushed to learn about her transphobia. And also her cringe book.

I stuck with Babish through his expensive weird era because I still felt like I was learning something about cooking, even if i couldnt make his three day Troy pizza casserole or whatever. I still felt like I was becoming a better cook. Recently he switched up his editing style to less voice over, hands only content and more click baity listacles, and more videos where hes messing around in the kitchen. I liked watching the hands only stuff because I could see what he doing, and there wasnt any emphasis on his face, so there less emphasis on his personality, and therefore I felt a little less intimidated as far as trying it myself. The voice overs were also really concise. The end result was also really light weight, and felt like a recipe that didn’t have all the SEO “my grandma taught me how to make this cake before she died” garbage.

Alvin is still making videos in the classic “Babish” style on the Babish channel, and I still watch the vids Andrew puts out in that style, but if i can see his face, I wont even click on the video.

Sometimes I wish Hollywood still made lower budget movies, because this felt like it needed a lesser production value. Jason Momoa knew what kind of movie it was.

Dark Knight. Heath Ledger’s Career defining performance can’t save this tortuously paced, boring, dreary, washed out slog of a war on terror metaphor. I hate Christopher Nolan, all of his movies are like this.

The star wars prequels get a lot of hate, but honestly, all of the cracks were beginning to show in Return of the Jedi. 4 and 5 are indisputably good movies, and part of the cinematic canon. Jedi has a lot of small things wrong with it… and also Leah is Luke’s sister randomly. This is a Lucasism, and as the people who were capable of standing up to Lucas fell away, and were replaced by people who grew up in star wars. Everything that makes the OT good is present in the prequels, and everything that makes the Prequels… contentious is present in Jedi. For the record, I like the prequels but I think they are flawed in really interesting ways.

Jedi is even in quality with all the prequels and sequels that came after, but has a better rep than it deserves because it stands next to the first (best) two.

I don’t know. I had to do a 3 month boot camp run through a local community college, and that included 36 hours of clinicals on an ambulance. There were daily tests, training on all the equipment, and batteries of tests finals that we had to pass. My favorite was we had to have a 80 in the course to qualify for the finals, but anything less than a 70 on any of the tests would disqualify you from taking registry, even if you had an 100 percent aside from that. That was for EMT Basic, the lowest levels of licensure. It’s a two year degree to become a paramedic (and I think thats like 200 hours of clincals, or something). And once I was in, there were 12 hours of CEs required for licensure (the company offered trainings), and I did have a written and practical test to take with the ambulance before they let me code, with a probationary period (mine was a few months, they really didn’t like me, looking back because I’m Jewish.)

I won’t go to bat for the industry very often. I was making minimum wage, I was working 60 hour weeks. The culture has a problem with boot licking and racism, work life balance, and catty bullshit. I never left like management had my back, and people gossip. And that’s before you get to the insane nature of the work, and the constant death and crisis around you. I worked nights; nothing was open, and there was never any time to eat, so we opted for handheld, easily available garbage from convenience stores. And of course, I never saw my family.

But even though registry can’t prepare you for the road, I would never have claimed I wasn’t properly trained.

Thanks for being among the few serious posters (although I am not downplaying how funny this thread ended up being.

For the bedroom, I was considering a hanging chair that can slide across the bedroom. I was actually thinking about mounting a desk on collapsing brackets, so the chair slides into place next to it or can used to join small sitting area.

The other thing I was considering is a sliding half wall for both. I was thinking for the kitchen mounting a spice rack (like the handyman suggested.) I haven’t considered what i would mount on the bed room half wall yet. If i don’t mount a hanging chair on it, then my arm chair and bed will be on opposite sides of the track (and opposite corners of the room). Not sure. I have soem time to consider it.

I have both. But I only have a few contacts on matrix

I like Sour cream in mashed potatoes, but this sounds heavenly. Do you use grated or flaked?

Lol so the program I used was called HyperGTS. You could change the DSs target server, and you changed into to your routers IP, and then you could send stuff up to the GTS, at which case it would be saved into your PC. You could send it back the same way. I also have my .sav files. I might have gotten into the switch games if there was an easier way to transfer my old pokemon over.

The practice of cloning was (and I have to imagine, still is) pretty standard among breeders. Most competitive pokemon was (and again, still is) tool assisted: We made use of tools to check IVs, and to clone. The mons themselves were not altered. That was the point; no one cared if you were battling with hacked mons, as long as they were legal. There were still events that checked legitimacy, and those created a demand for legit mons. That being said, once RNG became standard issue, I just bred because I was playing in the pre RNG days and I liked them.

Is “Gen” the new pokesav?

I considered it, back in the early days. I was impressionable and thought whatever the weirdos on 4chan were talking about was at least interesting (like… 06 to 12 maybe.) One of my friends was mining 100 percent. I think he probably sold his coins long before it spiked, and I suspect that was how he funded his college education

Lol when I was 15 or so I got way into competitive pokemon, and that eventually led to me breeding my own mons. Early on in my journey, I met some dude on Serebii chat that wanted to to do a 2 for 1 trade for my kingdra. He just sent over the pidgey and didn’t send over the other mon. I was really salty about that.

by the time gen four ended, I had bred a flawless Kingdra and (still to this day even) have all my .pkm files backed up on a hard drive somewhere.

The most valuable thing I own is my pokemon card collection. I was obsessed when I was kid, but unlike everyone, I kept going through Rocket, Gym heroes and challenge, all the way to Neo Destiny and Legendary Collection. Possibly the rarest cards I have are two 1ed foil discovery Tyranitars and one 1ed foil Blaine’s Charizard. My cards are very well loved and things have calmed down since the pandemic, but it was very weird, especially considering I got a booster box of Neo Discover for 50 bucks in 2009

I am still currently taking suggestions; we have been waiting on various inspections. they are in fact interior partitions. There is sheet rock up. I certainly hope not to keep changing them out. In light of your suggestions, I am going to go ahead and cut some doors.

Do you recommend hollow doors or solid core? is either easier to cut? are there any special properties to cut one over the other? Should I buy pre-hung? If i do, Im going to have to cut the frames too, right? but Ill have to hire someone to hang a door other wise?

I picked up my friends switch used for 200 buckaroos. I got really into DS emulation and I went really hard on pokemon especially. I was looking forward to BDSP.

The new pokemon games were really anemic. I got some fun out of Mario Galaxy. But it just sits there now. I miss the first party piracy experience. I think also if i had had the ability to easily bring my old school mons (which i still have saved on my pc).

lol enjoy paying for every book twice. I use 5etools, and I encourage my players to do the same.

I’m old enough to remember the debacle with D&Dinsider. I got such better service with piracy than my friends did behind the paywall. All of their development promises turned out to be shit also. To this day, I’ve banned ddb from my games.
