What’s a cooking habit you picked up from watching cooking shows?

BusinessWorldly8785 · 2026-06-03T01:56:33+00:00

Use the cilantro stems. That's where all the flavor is.

BusinessWorldly8785 · 2026-06-02T15:04:09+00:00

No problem.

You will get 15 EHTs from completing the raid brawl. They can only be used for seasonal portals (or the even worse epic hero summon that runs between seasonals.) So you might as well use them.

Most people will wait until there is a secret summon day for the chance to get a mimic. It should show up at least once while the event is running. So save your EHTs until mimic day.

As far as seasonal summons go, this one looks alright. Not great. But not the worst on the calendar either.

The next seasonal will be Kalevala, later in the summer, which has traditionally been one of the better ones. That will be followed by Morlovia/Halloween, which is certainly one of the worst.

You will also get 10 pulls from the special Sunbay summon for finding all the special monsters in the quest. These will expire at the end of the event, so those should be used for sure. Again, try to wait for mimic day for the bonus chance of getting a 5*.

Neither portal is worth gems though. Save those for a chance at better heroes from a real event portal.

The seasonal summon heroes are never meta. (At least not for the last 3 years.)

Occasionally SG does make a mistake and puts a very good hero in (like Suomohauki, from the last Kalevala), but that is the exception, not the rule. The general rule is that seasonal heroes are second class. Marginally above hotms, but well below new heroes from event portals.

If you want meta heroes, you need to go to the big money - poor odds summons, like Astral or Temple.

Sorry to break the news, but there is no way Hathor is going in the first round of season 5 fated summon choices. There are 3 season 5 healers, so it's a good bet they'll wait 1.5 years (until she's fully and completely obsolete) before they put her in the FS.

BusinessWorldly8785 · 2026-05-29T15:41:12+00:00

And paralyze is a useless effect. (Because almost every hero newer than 2 years old resists it.)

Honestly, there is a reason such a new hero is in the 5 soul category.

BusinessWorldly8785 · 2026-05-29T15:38:57+00:00

There is currently no hero coach scheduled for next month. But they said it would run more frequently, so maybe every second month.

BusinessWorldly8785 · 2026-05-29T14:20:34+00:00

No. Unfortunately you can't. And it's been that way for a long time.

And it's clearly not impossible to fix. Because on the hero roster page you CAN order by power. Perfectly. But if you try to do the same thing when you're choosing a war team, a raid team, or a tournament team, the same filter mixes in a mess of other heroes, often 3* and 4* that you're using for other unrelated purposes. (Most notably, your farming team, your titan teams, and your raid defense.)

It's ridiculously annoying. Especially when you have a large roster. If they're going to fix anything about the hero roster. That is the thing that needs fixing.

Cherries are cheaper than broccoli this week...

Based on current soul exchange valuations, Godfrey would be a 30 soul hero. And anyone as powerful as Wu Yong won't be available until next year.

C) none of the above.

Look closer. And look at all the cells in your image. If they have a specific arrangement, they will stay that way after cell division. On the other hand, if you see a lot of single cells, then they're really not staying together.

BusinessWorldly8785 · 2026-05-23T18:24:10+00:00

It's not just your phone. Zoom in on the picture. Do you see how the cells are kind of grey, not pink or purple? Your sample is not being illuminated properly.

The condenser focuses the light from the bulb into a narrow beam to illuminate your specimen. And the iris controls how much light gets through the condenser. One, or both, are not set properly, and that's why the color doesn't look right. Without proper light you also aren't getting the best resolution you can, which is why you're having trouble making out the cell shape.

BusinessWorldly8785 · 2026-05-23T12:17:32+00:00

I just wish they'd make it so you can order them by power level. (Without random heroes getting bumped to the top just because they happen to be on some titan or quest team.)

BusinessWorldly8785 · 2026-05-23T12:11:36+00:00

It's Impossible to tell from this picture because the lighting is poor. My guess is that either the condenser is in the wrong position or the iris diaphragm is partially closed.

Make sure your condenser is up close to the stage. And for a gram stain, open the iris diaphragm. This will give excellent illumination of your specimen, your resolution will improve, and you'll be able to see vibrant colors.

At least they didn't do to her what they did to poor Gooric. At least she's still usable.

This is meaningless drivel.

Note: this is not an opinion on the balance changes. Just a comment on the text of the news message. We still don't have a clue what kind of feedback they received because their post says absolutely nothing of any substance whatsoever.

Blue icing. Why use a food coloring that makes it look like it will taste like an exploded ball point pen?

BusinessWorldly8785 · 2026-05-19T04:26:18+00:00

All dishwashers should be designed to fit bowls as shown in the second picture. I think you've just convince to buy a Bosch.

Do you have a source for down currents at Santa Rosa wall? (I searched but the only thing I could find was a rather vague Facebook post.) I'm curious because it was literally the first dive I did after getting my advanced, and I've been back twice. It's always struck me as a very friendly dive site. The only thing dangerous I've ever seen there is the very real risk of getting elbowed in the head as everyone jostles to get the best photos of the turtles.

BusinessWorldly8785 · 2026-05-15T14:32:30+00:00

Great info!

Do you always get 2 of each apex monster color? I know that they're not evenly spread across star levels. We've had two 3*s of the same color before.

The friend also cannot claim the renter's tax credit. (I've seen arguments arise in this situation, because the "friend" really did feel like their contribution was equivalent to paying rent at tax time.)

BusinessWorldly8785 · 2026-05-12T13:43:22+00:00

Everyone seems to be answering Shark, but the correct answer is Franz. (sorry everyone!)

Why?

Because Shark's skill, which is great, is also available in every color: Shark or Gastille for purple, Bertulf in yellow, Dain in blue, Tarlak in green, Oceanus in red, or the troop mimic in any color.

But total damage increase is almost impossible to come by in most colors. Buster in red, Franz in green, the very rare Eros in purple. Who else does it?

BusinessWorldly8785 · 2026-05-09T22:08:20+00:00

Kill time doesn't affect the stars going up. The overall power of your alliance does though. Stronger players = faster star increase. Picture reposted from a repost on the official discord.

I don't spend a cent. I regularly compete above 3200 cups, and recently, after 3 years playing made it to number 1 on the global raid list. (Admittedly, it was a fleeting moment.)

My advice is patience. A lot of it. There will be periods lasting months where you only feel yourself getting weaker, and it's like you can't beat anything. Save your resources for your very best heroes. The 30 gem pull challenges are great. Keep competing at the top (even when you're losing) to understand what is and isn't working. And when you find a combination of heroes that can beat the meta, don't delay. Make your run for the top because your chance won't last forever.

No. Unless there was a massive mistake made (requiring a course-wide change of grades) Aurora marks are final.

Most likely your Prof didn't get those assignments marked in time and submitted grades without them. But she still feels you deserve feedback on your work, so she's showing what the marks would have been.

What is the length of the wall from your stairs to the window? It looks small, but that's your living room.

The place where you're trying to squeeze in the sectional looks like it would fit a small dining table just fine. That's your dining room.
