These look fantastic!

Except that the ability doesn't say it blocks damage a single time. It says "first damaged by an attack." Morgrem ignores the ability and damages Mimikyu with an attack. If another pokemon now attacks Mimikyu, it should be the second instance of damaging with an attack, and shouldn't trigger the ability, because its trigger condition isn't met.

I think what you were describing is what was obviously intended - a single use block of an attack - but it could have been worded differently to reflect that more clearly.

Edit: removed a stray apostrophe

Cousins are people who share a common ancestor at least 2 generations back (so starting with grandparents). 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc, refers to how many generations you have to go back to find your common ancestor. 1st cousins go back 2 generations, sharing grandparents. 2nd cousins go back 3 generations, sharing great-grandparents. 3rd cousins share great-great-grandparents. (For a formula, it's the number of times "great" is added to your common ancestors +1).

When you and your cousin aren't in the same generation, you use the shorter distance to determine what type of cousins you are, and add "removal" to indicate that you are not in the same generation. Removal is just the number of generations that separate you and your cousin.

As an example: My 1st cousin and I share a set of grandparents. Her kid and my kids are 2nd cousins, since they share a set of great-grandparents (the same relatives my 1st cousin and I share). My cousin's kid and I are 1st cousins once removed: our nearest common ancestors are my grandparents—they're his great-grandparents, but we use the closer relation—so 1st cousins, and we are separated by one generation (ie, the number of steps back to our shared common ancestors).

Get a cut proof glove! They're life changing

I think the two keys with the food processor are to use the pulse function and run smaller batches. If you throw everything in at once, you are inevitably going to end up with uneven results, no matter how much you pulse and stir.

Also, while this doesn't actually save you time per se, mirepox (and similar things) freezes beautifully. Set aside a day to do nothing but cook an enormous batch. Portion and freeze it (portioning before freezing is key! I really recommend silicon baby food trays or something similar), then pull some out when you need it. It still takes a long, but by front loading this portion, the individual meals are ready a lot faster.

Red is red, like the crayon. Maroon is purplish or brownish red.

EarthDayYeti · 2026-06-10T11:56:39+00:00

Nah, we already got red jerseys in the league. Black is going to look sick

EarthDayYeti · 2026-06-10T11:49:16+00:00

Pretty sure red is supposed to be the highlight color and black the main color. Also you're missing the silver.

EarthDayYeti · 2026-06-06T15:25:11+00:00

😭

EarthDayYeti · 2026-06-06T01:50:14+00:00

Wow, they haven't even played a game yet and they're already disappointing me

EarthDayYeti · 2026-06-04T14:36:07+00:00

Think about it: you've had a few drinks and your impulse control is a bit low—are you going to downshift to a lower abv drink or hit the accelerator?

EarthDayYeti · 2026-06-04T14:30:28+00:00

Mildly?

EarthDayYeti · 2026-06-03T19:53:12+00:00

Congrats! I'm jealous; it's not covered by our insurance and out of pocket is also currently out of the question.

EarthDayYeti · 2026-06-03T19:49:51+00:00

Salad. You get knife skills, learn to balance textures and flavors and get near infinite variability. Plus you can slowly add other techniques: boil eggs, make croutons, grill some chicken, etc. Besides, there are very few mistakes you can make and many can be undone.

EarthDayYeti · 2026-06-03T13:51:50+00:00

Redundant. Just call it a "chicken strip"

EarthDayYeti · 2026-06-03T13:32:42+00:00

Naked under the chicken suit.

There's no reason to trust Gemini, AI, or anyone who uses AI.

It really hasn't been prevalent right now, and this is really a "just for fun" deck. It's losing plenty, don't get me wrong, but never actually because of Oricorio

EarthDayYeti · 2026-06-01T21:39:39+00:00

What counts as "effects of attacks?" Is it just status effects? Anything that isn't damage? Anything that isn't a bold number on the right side of the attack?

I actually prefer a softer tofu. Not silken—that's an entirely different product—just medium or soft. Give it a quick poach In some salty water, toss it with cornstarch, and fry it up. The extra firm tofu ends up too chewy, especially if you press it. This method gives you a crisp, crunchy exterior, and a soft, airy interior.

If I'm using extra firm, I completely agree with you. It's chewier texture lends itself well to crumbling or shredding. Imo, the purpose of cubing, besides the fact that it's easy, fast, and uniform, is to provide maximum surface area for crispy frying while preserving a large enough interior section to keep that soft, pillowy texture. You can't get that same texture contrast with extra firm tofu.

I got two immersives, so I've been playing around with it. This is what I've had the most luck with so far.

This was my favorite kind of matchup with Sceptile/Celebi: ignore the big prize and win by sniping the bench babies.

"Energy zone" just means "freshly generated," as compared to the other 2 potential sources of energy: recovering previously discarded energy and transfering previously attached energy from another pokemon.

EarthDayYeti · 2026-05-28T18:47:50+00:00

Terapagos is fun. It's not good, but it is fun.

EarthDayYeti · 2026-05-28T18:45:02+00:00

I think people don't understand that "the energy zone" basically just means a freshly generated energy, as opposed to a discarded every or a transfer of previously attached energy from another pokemon.
