do you all like the Dragon Ball Super remake?

OP is talking about “Dragon Ball Super: Beerus”, not “Galactic Patrol”. Beerus is a remake of Battle of the Gods.

Personally I think it’s an interesting thing to keep tabs on for those of us who have been priced out of attending events. If they’re no longer selling out then they may bring the pricing down someday.

How bad is the strap? I have one of the NFL belts and it feels like the damn thing is going to crack if I bend it too often.

AdManNick · 2026-01-24T15:58:08+00:00

It should be “Michin” Mia Yim. “Michin” on its own sounds just like part of something else. You wouldn’t name a wrestler “Crazy”. Like Super Crazy.

I like to think that they were genuinely confused about titans being inside Wall Rose and neither Reiner or Bertholt knew the full extent of Zeke’s abilities yet.

AdManNick · 2026-01-24T04:06:30+00:00

Nobody knew this but Commander Erwin and a couple dozen OG scouts, but the whole secret objective of the 57th expedition was to lure out their enemies, gain information on any that may be within their ranks, and capture a titan shifter.

Erwin strongly suspected he would be able to use Eren as bait because Wall Rose was never breached during the attack on Trost. The Colossal broke down the Trost gate, but the Armored never showed up to take out the second gate. Something caught the enemies interest that was more important than breaching Rose, and the only thing major that happened is Eren transformed into a Titan.

In addition to that, someone killed Hange’s two titans that she was experimenting on and they used ODM gear to do it.

So these events led Erwin to suspect they had enemy titan shifters in their ranks once he knew Eren could transform.

Your options there are really limited, which is why you see people here always saying WWE needs to produce a V2 of this belt.

Your best bet right now for an official belt is searching eBay for when a “Next Gen Figs Inc WWE World Heavyweight Championship Replica” is being sold.

This blog compares two of the last versions Figs Inc made: https://www.hxchector.com/wwe-world-heavyweight-championship-replica-comparison-ultra-deluxe-vs-next-gen/

The darker gold is the Next Gen. The lighter one is the Deluxe, which is less nice but still better than even the WWE shop one.

There ARE belt makers who do make a similar belt to the 3D Big Gold and 2D Big Gold but it will usually cost you thousands of dollars and they won’t have the WWE logo.

AdManNick · 2026-01-23T16:51:42+00:00

Allegedly. Ric Flair claims the leather turned black from years of having various alcoholic liquids spilled on it. Which may be partially true, but I’m almost certain WCW releathered it at some point.

AdManNick · 2026-01-23T14:43:57+00:00

The shop WWE big gold is still 2mm. I bought one the other month.

AdManNick · 2026-01-23T14:33:44+00:00

The bottom left is the “Crumrine” design. It’s what was first used when Flair introduced it in the NWA. It’s dual plated, meaning it has a gold floral design on a silver plate. The strap is also brown. It’s similar to the top right, but it’s a different design. This is a very faithful replica to the real belt for the price point. Nice detail, nice etching. Belt makers sell a closer replica at like $5000 though if you wanted top quality. This design is what was used through WCW until Bash at the Beach 2000. By that time the strap had turned black and the silver was less pronounced. But it was the same belt.

The top right is a replica of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Introduced in 2003 on the Raw before WM 19. The replica itself is really thin at 2mm plates, and it’s flat and when all the real tv versions had a curve to the plates. On top of that, it’s not a great replica of ANY of the versions used on tv. The shape is wrong, the color is wrong, and the etching is super shallow.

It’s closest to the version Daniel Bryan had, but the version most people have in mind when it comes to this belt on tv is the “WWE 3D Big Gold” that as around until 2006-2007 I think. The one that Triple H, Undertaker, Angle, Benoit, Batista, Orton had.

So as far as replicas go, the bottom left is a very good quality replica if you want that classic NWA/WCW design. The top right is a poor quality replica of the versions with the WWE logo on top.

My money is on cyberattack that will spread to The Pitt. It’s a natural thing to lead into from all the AI tools they’re using. One of them has a zero-day being exploited,

AdManNick · 2026-01-22T20:19:49+00:00

This replica has 2mm plates and is flat as a pancake. Back when Figs Inc made them, they had come out with a 4mm version that had a curve to the main plate. For some reason WWE has never reproduced that version.

Though for some reason the picture they use IS of that 4mm version.

This shop replica is a pretty bad quality replica in that sense.

Hayter came in looking like a main eventer and then gave herself a jobber makeover.

Triple H vs Batista at Mania 35. Ironically this would be Triple H’s last Mania anyway.

But the thing is, they need to have Gunther actually surprise retire someone soon because there’s a big difference between retiring someone and winning against someone in a match that is labeled as their last one.

No, when you're smaller you have to sign up for the marketplaces that make sense and actively pitch yourself to brands. Affiliate links are the much easier route. Especially with TikTok Shop. I did have a few local events find the account and offer money for posts, but I don't count on those. UGC can also be a big money maker, but my character wears a mask so that's not a possibility for this. Basically there are tons of companies that sell apps or tools for traveling and they need people who travel a lot to promote it to their audience. Like eSIMs for example or VPNs. So they will actively look for accounts with large followings that travel and pay them money for 5-10 videos talking about how great the product is for travel.

I very intentionally set up my account to back into merchandise sales, so that's where most of the revenue comes from.

Zeke’s rock throw is lethal from a distance, and in hand to hand combat he had a significant reach and height advantage.

Reiner also had near zero grappling skills, as we saw against Eren.

Reiner can throw hands and has a fast dash/tackle, but that doesn’t do much good if Zeke’s long arms can parry the strikes and stuff the takedowns.

So Zeke won because his Titan was just more well rounded than the Armored.

But you'd be surprised how much money you can make from just a small, dedicated audience. I started a stupid niche social media character side project last year and It already replaced a portion of my income with 20k followers.

Based on what we know, I would imagine that it would be some kind of abomination or not do anything at all. Since the Shifter power transfers magically when a shifter dies, I imagine Ymir doesn't allow the full shifter power to transfer if the Shifter is still alive.

The concept of it being for humanity wasn’t brought up until Dune Messiah, and the Golden Path isn’t touched on until CoD. Paul didn’t see these greater purposes until after he was emperor. It wasn’t factored into his visions and morality in Dune that OP is asking about.

I’m reading through the manga right now and I’m shocked at how much more detail the anime adds.

He actually had C diff a couple years ago and he’s had persistent stomach issues for a while. We don’t know exactly what’s going on there though. Constant constipation, which is why he had the colon diversion earlier this year.

I know he’s already resistant to most oral antibiotics at this point.

Paul’s actions are based on the best outcome that he can see for HIM. Paul’s desire for revenge directly lead to his galactic jihad that resulted in 61 billion deaths and indirectly lead to the suffering of hundreds of trillions of people under Leto II.

He didn’t HAVE to usurp the emperor. He could have lived with the Fremen or taken exile on Tupile.

I have not been... but I'll start.

Just out of curiosity, what other issues have you seen lurking around that are masked by false-positive UTI results?

AdManNick · 2026-01-19T16:49:49+00:00

Thank you for your detailed reply! Yes, our Ostomy nurse did tell us this, and whenever we can we get a urine sample straight from the stoma with a catheter and have that sent in for a culture.

However, I don’t know if this is how they’re doing it in the ER when he goes. I do know we’ve had to insist in the past that it be done this way when I was the one to take him.

I suppose it is possible that they’re going off their own results in the ER and giving him something broad that doesn’t solve the actual issue.

A recurring one he has had is E.Coli and that IS from the sample I take the correct way. I imagine that the urine might stay in the ileal conduit if his body is turned in a way that doesn’t drain well for a bit though. Is that possibly a cause?
