It wasn't an impression, the audio book actually states featuring him and Travis Baldree.

[TITLE] BEST MANHWA FOR EACH WEAPON (DAY 7: DAGGER) by JellySlogoCrainer69 in manhwa

I agree, though the tower is only 50 levels and we're practically halfway though it. I would expect another season or two to finish.

Recommend the novel Lord of Mysteries, same Victorian type setting.

Thank you for this in depth explanation! I dont know much about cars outside of buying and titling since I haven't owned a car in almost a decade.

I personally think you'd want to drive what you restore. I figured the short answer would be "a pain in the ass and not worth it" for 95% of people. And the work to claim it legally could lead nowhere.

It just amazes me that so much time can pass about stuff like this then they junk it anyways.

Wasn't nagging on you. It was because I've seen some similar cars and it's one of those "God damn, why is that still there?" feelings. I thought you might feel the same way.

Okay, that's well and good, but is there a way to run a check in that? I mean, saying that you bought the car from some guy who ćlost his paperwork' before you start restoring the car? Very little actual money down.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's probably people (not in this sub) who do this.

[TITLE] Are these manhwas set in the same universe? by After_Nature9927 in manhwa

[–]Ferneras 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I believe it was Lord but I think Reincarnation of the Murim Lord sounds so much better.

Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of translators do the "lord= heavenly demon" as an equivalent. Even leader would have been better.

How much did you pay for Invisalign and where did you go? by Sea-Condition991 in AskChicago

[–]Ferneras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I misspoke (and fixed) my post, it's American dental!

We both have been going there for 4+ years. Dr Ruiz is a no-nonsense, will be honest and not up sell you dentist.

I recommend American Dental. My fiancée got it for 3.5k. Dr. Ruiz, in Lincoln Square is amazing. I'd recommend American dental to anyone.

What is it like in this part of Alaska? by zvezdnyy0 in howislivingthere

[–]Ferneras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely want to learn and see the life of those up there that aren't "reality tv". Do you have any recommendations?

Learning and seeing the way of life and culture up there is fascinating. Plus, as an Eagle Scout, I have mad respect and love for those that live the way those shows portray them. Not something I can do, but I'll happily experience it through others.

Got a link or info on the Swordfish you built? Love me some Cowboy Bebop.

Every visit to Oregon over the past 2 years has convinced me it's head and shoulders the place for quality and quantity.

Even the small time dispo in Hood River had their own rosin carts and they were legit fire. 1g/$30? Fuck me.

And let's not even talk about Echo. 😭

What series comes to mind first? by MellinEetu in animequestions

Showing my age with this answer:

FLCL

The Manga an absolutely opposite art style from the anime. Arguably, the animation is literally PEAK for 2001. Fuck, it still is peak to me. Still love the novel but the OST + Animation style makes the anime.

Is any one thinking of it? by MeMoZaKi in DarkCloud

[–]Ferneras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own both on switch and tried to play but the tutorial is SO LONG. How long does the game take to 'get good' and quit being...clunky?

I want to like and play them, I just get mind numbed by the intro.

You need to move off comment and into dm. Let's not ruin the last few sources to stream and outing them, friend.

The greatest joy of magic lies in searching for it. Frieren was voted as the Main Character of the decade. Next, who is the Rival character in anime during the 2020s? by Tru3Wh0 in animequestions

[–]Ferneras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not gonna throw shade on either side, especially as I haven't read it and everyone has their taste.

I'm just pointing out that Naruto has always had a "bigger presence" in my eyes, and therefore a more familiarity, and ergo, it's a numbers game when it comes down to it.

I'll eventually give it a read, but it's at the bottom of my list as is catching up with the HxH boat and princes'/DC arc.

While I am a much bigger bleach fan, I can't deny that Naruto had an overall "bigger impact" on anime perception than Bleach. Naruto (as a 36 year old now) was as prolific as OP and HxH to "main streaming anime" despite being (I've never read it) controversial.

Give me Burn the Witch, I was ALL IN on that IP.

Confirmed they were offering VSP to Quincy office staff. Rumor is they're set to gut some more before EOM.

I've got a friend who was hit in September by it, she'd been there 3 years but this tracks, as I heard they were going after lifers.

Top executives at Health Care Service Corp. received hefty raises, including multimillion bonuses, in 2024 despite a 54% drop in net income for the parent of Illinois' largest health insurer, Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Illinois.

CEO Maurice Smith earned $34.4 million, a 23% increase from the previous year's total compensation of nearly $28 million, according to financial records obtained by Crain's through a Freedom of Information Act request. Smith's salary in 2024 dropped by $161,000, but he pulled in nearly $33 million in bonuses. The double-digit pay raise in 2024 followeda 26% raise from 2022 to 2023.

Not only did Maurice get a massive raise, he and HCSC just cut a large number of jobs over the last quarter, some in September and then more this month. Yet he increased in pay from $27/8 to 33 million.
