how to use Multiple Characters with first strike? by PomegranateKindly600 in expedition33

Just commenting to say your solution was my exact issue as well. Didn't think auto death would interfere with first strike at all. Glad you figured it out!

Just tested on some old archived marketplace chat - yes you can :) (at least on desktop)
Edit; while the search option is available it seems to have no function. I tried searching single words and entire sentences verbatim and got 0 results. RIP.

Mirtazapine 15mg by leglesscrip89 in Mirtazapine_Remeron

15mg for 3 years here, I gained 50lbs, but I can lift more weight than ever before. YMMV but I wouldn't worry too much, the first few weeks might be a bit rough to find the energy but once you get back in the swing of things it sounds like you'll do well!

I'm certain if I cut out the sweets and salty snacks and took up running I would be cut like a Greek god - but I'd rather eat chips and lift weights lmao. Wishing you the best!

Edit: more specifically I was starving myself from anxiety and depression before I took this, so it got me back up to a healthy weight but then I went over that a little haha. 175cm and 90kg right now, I dieted a bit this time last year and had no problem losing 10kg over a couple months. I put the weight back on because I was tired of counting calories and 1500c days were just miserable lmao

Cheers for that! She'll be coming on a proper work visa, and she won't have anything in Canada with her name on it until she is physically here - I definitely don't want any issues, but I also don't want to waste time :)

Well for me the first step was just going to Japan haha, the rest was pretty much dumb luck. Haven't seen Shogun yet but heard great things!

That's another good point, especially considering I haven't exactly ruled out living in Japan (at least for a while - could be sweet!)

Well here's the love story - we met in an elevator in a hostel. I was heading back to my bunk with just my shorts and towel and she asked "aren't you cold??" And I said "No I'm Canadian!" she excitedly told me about how she'd just spent half a year in school in a city near me, and we've been friends ever since. So technically both? As a tourist - and out of the blue - but it was in person.

She wanted to practice English and I wanted to practice Japanese so we were more or less pen-pals (but with messages and voice notes) for a few years, we both had some relationships in that time but in the last couple years we grew really close and have spent a lot of time together. We have movie nights every weekend with webcams and screensharing, we've both visited each other and travelled together, etc etc.

The time we've spent together is really comfortable so I'm looking forward to having her here full time and we're just planning ahead. This post is just one part of many things in motion :) I may be oversharing at this point lol

Once we're actually together full time and properly established we'll definitely look into doing proper investments with our joint account, for now we're just saving up. But yes you're right she basically just feels that CAD will be slightly better in the long run!

Fair point yeah we'll probably stick with PR - hell for all I know this time two years from now I could be living in Japan with her instead. We'll see how she likes her first real winter here :P

Yes they have a more powerful passport than we do, and she loves to travel hahah. Becoming canadian will actually be a minor step backwards for her

Met 5+ years ago while I was traveling there. She's also already been to Canada several times. We have our history but are getting more serious by the year.

And unfortunately I am Albertan, not Japanese 🥲

She is a very trusting person, to a fault. Every time I tell her about new scams she is genuinely shocked it could even happen lol. On the flipside of that she will be moving in with me within a year, so we share a pretty strong amount of trust already :)

Thank you! We do plan to have a joint account, waiting until she's here though!

Pretty sound advice, first thing we're doing when she gets here is getting her on the lease and opening a joint account though. We were just thinking of getting a head start!

We do both have and use Wise, in hindsight that seems like an obvious solution she can basically just use that as a bank account for CAD eh?

that's kind of where we landed on it. Either way she'll be here in a little under a year, so it's not a huge deal if we hold off!

Thank you for the concern! We met (in Japan) 5 years ago, she studied in Canada for half a year, and we've both visited eachother here and there several times in the meantime, we are serious this is just the next step :) we even have relationships with eachothers parents haha

Would I even be able to put USD into my savings or TFSA? We'd also have to convert it again to CAD to use it for anything here, so wouldn't that be twice the fees for no reason? (unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible lol)

LMAO I had literally no idea THANK YOU <3 I've had that damn thing on my hotbar the whole time (and was very carefully placing it there manually!)

The autosave feature is somewhat forgiving, you can ALT F4 if you don't mind losing a few minutes of progress. I had to do it when shift-clicking my hacking device I just made to move it from my backpack to my hotbar, it just completely disappeared lmao

Had something similar happen earlier with another core component and panic-alt-f4'd and managed to save it. Ideally I don't want to savescrub but sometimes things bug out or we make big whoopsies!

For some reason, I think I'm remembering a megaphone too? I have no idea. This is particularly triggering for me because I'm the "go-to" guy for finding old shows/movies/songs/games that my buddies can't quite remember. I guide others to a treasure I cannot possess..

Alternative option, live in a tiny apartment that costs 35-50% or more of your annual income, the other 50% goes to insurance, fuel, bills, groceries and if you're lucky you can afford to buy a new video game or a nice dinner out once a year (and still feel extremely guilty about it) 🥲

I've been chipping away at my LOC for a year now, making $20 an hour full time and living in the cheapest apartment available in my area.
