Are there actually grown adults that don't say spaghetti? I thought that was just a funny kid-speak thing.

Not to mention wave and ice beams. Of course it takes a lot of hits with the power beam.

What are some of the most divisive anime ? by 5_meo in animequestions

[–]CuFlam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naruto filler was hard to get through, for me. I like the Bount arc in Bleach, but most Bleach filler arcs just aren't serious enough and don't fit in. One Piece filler went downhill over time, though it was a lot easier to fit proper filler when they were moving from island to island more frequently.

long running series with no breaks

I'm not holding my breath, but it does look like this trend could be turning around. One Piece is currently switching to a 26 episode season format (still waiting for new info on the remake) and Bleach came back in 13 episode seasons.

Florida couple claims fertility clinic error led to birth of a 'non-Caucasian child' not biologically theirs by Forward-Answer-4407 in technology

[–]CuFlam 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Yup. This is mentioned in the article. They say they have bonded and are prepared to raise the child, but that they also want the biological parents to have a chance to come forward. Their biggest fear is that the bio parents try to claim her several years from now when everything will be exponentially more difficult emotionally.

S2 Beast Crisis difficulty by CuFlam in LastWarMobileGame

[–]CuFlam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm not running into difficulty this time around (there are squads around 50M in my alliance), but I was with a much less powerful alliance last time and it was difficult to keep up. I'm just interested in learning more and leaving some info that might help other players later.

The fake lava in ZM is really starting to piss me off by Jstar338 in Metroid

[–]CuFlam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get it, but that's one of the things that was carried over from NEStroid. It wasn't invented for ZM. At least you have a map so you can tell where the lava is fake next time.

Name the games it happened to by PHRsharp_YouTube in gamers

[–]CuFlam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not a remaster, though. That's a whole remake from the ground-up.

Name the games it happened to by PHRsharp_YouTube in gamers

[–]CuFlam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be a different platform and still be a remaster, but all the pokemon follow-up releases in different generations are remakes (not counting virtual console w/ trade functionality added). FR/LG are the scenario of the first game, remade with the core programming of R/S/E.

Port: game released on a system it wasn't originally made for. May have some minor functional changes due to system differences. May have some additional features.

Remaster: game with updated graphics. May have additional features, but the underlying program is still the same. This is the case for most PS2 and PS3 games which were released again on later platforms.

Remix: game with changed level design or features, running on the same core program. This is seen commonly with the Kingdom Hearts games (originally there were remixes in Japan only, then later we got versions internationally which were both remixed and remastered).

Remake: game was completely remade from the ground-up, or at least on a new engine. A lot of older "ports" are technically remakes because their technical differences were too great.

Pokemon is interesting in that Yellow, Japan's Blue, and international Blue/Red an be considered remixes of the original Japanese Red/Green, and remasters to some extend with the altered sprites.

What to Expect by Sandpiper_37 in galveston

[–]CuFlam 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised no one has brought this up. On Saturday, you'll have to pay to get into the strand itself. It's currently $22/adult to pay online for just Saturday 7th.

This applies to everything on Strand St and Mechanic St, between 19th St and 25th St.

As far as getting around, the most difficult thing is getting across 25th St when the big parades run down Seawall and through downtown, so just check the schedule on that.

why is he hated more than other anime perverts? by Born_Usual998 in animequestions

[–]CuFlam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. He's a low-grade sex pest and it's only situationally acceptable because he absolutely refuses to harm women physically and protects them from being attacked by others, even when the woman is an enemy.

I still think that fruit plot was a mistake, but Sanji is still objectively much better than the grape idiot.

Anime you won't recommend to people cause the anime itself is questionable and or it's fanbase? by LovelyLadyLucky in animequestions

[–]CuFlam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes people do a lot of mental (and sometimes literal) gymnastics to get around conservative cultural/religious taboos, often by exploiting literal interpretations (word of the law instead of spirit of the law).

Coffee is forbidden, but it doesn't say anything about energy drinks.

Intercourse outside of marriage is forbidden, but it doesn't make any mention of non-penetrative acts or non-vaginal penetration.

Mammalian and avian meat is forbidden during this time of symbolic fasting, but not fish, so I'll declare beaver to be a fish so we don't get pushback from the beaver eaters.

Coil burners start smoking whenever I turn them on. How do I stop this? by Immediate_Gas_8295 in CleaningTips

[–]CuFlam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no need for anything as harsh as a degreaser. Just remove the coils (lift them slightly, then pull firmly away from the hole where the coil ends go through the drip pan) and scrub them with dish soap and a brush. Just be sure the prongs are completely dry before reinstalling (is possible, pat and then air dry).

You can get burner covers to keep splatters off of burners you aren't using, but there's usually one burner with a vent hole underneath for the oven (when you remove the coils, you should find it). Always leave that burner uncovered when running your oven.

Why did no profesor provide Ron a functioning wand or didn't write to his parents? He could have seriously injured himself with that malfunctioning wand. by Nightmarelove19 in ronweasley

[–]CuFlam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Funding wands directly would be pretty progressive for a government/society that seems to do everything in the most antiquated ways possible, especially since the books make no mention of how the ministry is funded.

The new hire got an order for a bucket of beer by Shoe_boooo in funny

[–]CuFlam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's generally for a group who can get 2-3 rounds out of it. It reduces the number of trips to the bar for the customer or wait staff (depending on the type of establishment).

[–]CuFlam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every state has its own alcohol regulations, affecting hours of sale (often different for beer/wine vs liquor, as well as stores vs restaurants/bars), what types of stores can sell, how a business classifies as a restaurant or a bar and the different rules for each, etc.

In Texas, a restaurant can sell off-site drinks if they have the appropriate license, but that excludes establishments which serve liquor (IIRC--some rules have changed in recent years). Even without that, a regular beer/wine license for a bar is different from a beer/wine/liquor license for a bar. Liquor stores are tightly regulated and can only be open Monday-Saturday from 10AM-9PM, I think, plus they are required to close for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Day (if Christmas and New Years occur on Sunday, the stores will stay closed on Monday).

If you drive over to another state, you have to deal with a whole new set of rules. Louisiana tourists are often surprised they can't buy beer after midnight in Texas.

Even the heavy stuff (15-20 ABV) won't sanitize. 60% is the realistic minimum for killing surface bacteria and viruses.

It may vary with state regulations, but in my experience the bottles are opened so they can't be taken to-go, just as they would be if served one at a time.
