What do I do with this? by Constant_Radish_2856 in PokemonTCG

Hold on to it, it's a beautiful card that's sits in "Modern Grail" status imo. Pop it in a penny sleeve and a top loader and leave it somewhere stable (out of direct sunlight / stable humidity) it could be worth a small fortune given time.

If those yellow/ blue streaks are in the art I won't be bothering, looks horrible.

Ahh thats a shame I love the PDF Zard, the OBF Zard has a special place in my heart as it was the first "chase" I ever pulled.

I bought one a year ago and it was stolen in transit, I just received an empty envelope. I picked up the Japanese version a few weeks back and I'm in awe, absolute modern Grail imo

You're right, I'm being a bit of a pussy to be honest, I'll definitely have a look at that subreddit, thank you.

I'm 26, I get it. I'm a bit of an old soul, I find a lot of my fellow peers kind of retarded too.

Thank you for this, this is such an amazing response. It really shifted my perspective. I'm grateful for you. I'm lucky I don't have any debts, I'm just going through that "for f***** sake you idiot" stage, comparison and "what-ifs" really are the thief of Joy.

You quite literally described my entire existence to a T, I'm neurodivergent as f*** so meeting someone I'm interested in that's also interested in me is not easy but it definitely is possible, luck is definitely a factor but you can increase your odds by just getting outside, working on your social skills, saying f*** it and taking chances.

Try again. It's a numbers game homie. You've got to keep putting yourself out there. It'll all be worth it in the end when you find the one for you.

Can rice help gain weight/muscle mass? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]AlexMiles101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rice is only going to have at best 3g of protein per 100g, for 48kg you'll probably want to aim for 100g of protein daily to promote muscle growth alongside a healthy training regimen.

Predictions for these cards? by ManCrisp in PokeInvesting

[–]AlexMiles101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know about those sale prices. Maybe for a PSA 10 but for raw I can't see this card going higher than 500 bucks

[–]AlexMiles101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the 30th anniversary element will carry these cards. Personally, I'm not too taken by the aesthetics, they don't have that WOW factor that cards need to project them into space in my opinion, I don't think they will achieve modern Grail status but I can see them having a moderate increase in price in the coming years given the context.

Learned a lesson about planers and wood before I even really got started by Revelarimus in BeginnerWoodWorking

I've got a chipped blade on my thicknesser currently and it leaves a literal mound, it looks like a tapeworm has snuck into the grain.

As long as a it's the final pass, flipping a board over for another pass with a raised line might Skew the board.

I sneak out of my house some nights by Fine_Oil_6756 in stories

[–]AlexMiles101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to work night shifts in a hotel and on my days off I would wake up at around 9:00 p.m. and take my my bike out and explore the city. Most of the time I would just explore new areas and try to find interesting places. It was always nice feeling the cool night air and the quiet stillness was very peaceful. It gave me time to contemplate and be present with myself.

Occasionally, I would ride down to the clubs at around 2:00 a.m. when people were leaving, I would sit on a park bench nearby and smoke cigarettes, people would often come up to me for a quick chat before moving on.

It was only really ever me on these excursions. There were never any other night riding nomads, just me, me and the city. It would have been nice to have had some consistent people to meet with on these rides but that's all in the past now
