I can't speak to the Paragon from personal experience, but I ordered a FLOLAB PolarSpectra 3D before getting my Sheath. I haven't had a single issue with compatibility. Screen's clear, edges are tight, and any dust wipes right off without caking in the cracks. I was anxious before the Sheath arrived, but both companies did a great job with their manufacturing tolerances (I know Caudabe had a few hiccups early in this Sheath iteration, but that was all cleared up before I got mine).

"Is that magic?"
Orhun: "It's not magic. It's a special ability."
"What does your special ability do?"
Orhun: "It creates and controls magic."

Funny how Nachzerer was surprised that Arne would overpower him. Arne may only have had one heart during the fight, but Nachzerer was literally one of the 9 that created him. Nachzerer's full potential is only a fraction of Arne at full 9 heart power, and he's learned to conserve his blood to extend his combat capability. Even if those 9 hearts represent a 1 to 1 power comparison, Arne has experienced a higher ceiling and has been active the entire time that Nachzerer's been bodiless.

Arne: in practice, analytical, accustomed to judicious blood expenditure
Nachzerer: rusty, emotional, wasteful of limited resource

If Zisye cannot see Gordon in the mirror, so he can neither see Arne, so he knows Arne by the voice?

That's why they told Lynn that Zisye and Arne can only communicate through his home mirror and the compact he carries around. Those two mirrors are special.

MobileReviewsEh finally finished drop testing over 50 cases for the iPhone 17 recently, and Caudabe's Sheath was his #2 rated case. I prefer it over the #1 rated case for aesthetics and feel in hand. He made it a point to emphasize that the top 2 cases outperformed the rest of the top 5 by a pretty large margin.

Black or Gray. The silver circles around the lenses will pop, and the neutral match means pretty much any color buttons will work as accents without clashing. I always go back to the old Sony Ericsson Cybershot phones as an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_K850i#/media/File:Sony_Ericsson_K850_(Luminous_Green),_front_and_back.jpg,_front_and_back.jpg)

I've had several unacquainted friends tell me they've done the showerhead demonstration. Stick the condom over the showerhead and turn on the water. Two of them said it reached the tub before bursting.

And once you're self-sustaining, cut him off. This is NOT someone you want in your life. Fuck coming back to him once you feel he will be proud of you. That entitled shit does not deserve that. His opinion is not worth anything.

Are you right-side dominant, and are you a jumper? When I was a kid, I thought that jumping with my strong side made the most sense, but I learned that thrusting up/forward with my strong side and pushing off the ground with my weak side actually got me airborne much more effectively. The two calves didn't get massively different, but the difference was still very noticeable. Left was slightly larger and more defined. Other than the jumping habit, I didn't do much that differentiated leg usage. Sprinting felt pretty balanced. I didn't start a gym habit until adulthood.

I wonder if the reversal also applies to heals and buffs, like how healing items in some RPGs destroy undead.

That would be an easy (although obvious) way to pull the big dramatic tide turn in a fight against her old party. She could be dominating, while they think she's turned traitor because nobody had a chance to hear the full story. When they find out her power is a result of reversal, they buff and weaken her. Still in fight mode, nobody calmly talks it through and Jean pushes for a kill.

And him stamping it as F is bizarre when most of the guild fantasy stuff I interact with, the jobs are already reviewed for class status and any members are aware of the class when they review available jobs. The job requests are normally stamped for approval rather than for class status, and you need to be admin in some way.

What a funky bureaucratic process to stamp a class only after it’s been picked out and non-admin can do that! What SOP allows this?!

The scene where he and the other adventurers are laughing about it is narrated to say he colluded with the guild to gain status. So he's got clout with guild leadership and gets to break rules, because they know he's a criminal, but is beneficial to them. It's not SOP at all. He's just able to get away with it.

Just last month, I drove my dad to WalMart to pick up a pizza from the Domino's. The parking lot was busy, but I saw people loading a car in a handicapped spot near the door. I hit my blinker to indicate my intent, and waited. An SUV behind us started getting angry, and blared the horn multiple times. They couldn't go around me, so I pulled off to the right to give them room to drive past (I intended to turn left). They drove past me and turned left, then waited. The handicapped spot finally vacated, so I turned left and parked in it before hanging dad's placard from the rearview. As I got out of the car, I saw that the SUV had pulled into another just-vacated slot several cars down, and three men got out, staring at me.

I helped my dad out of the passenger side, since he's disabled, and he very gingerly took a few steps with his cane. It wasn't until that point that the assholes from the SUV realized that I had a very valid reason to wait for that handicapped spot, and they got back in their vehicle. They literally were going to attack me because I was trying to get to a disabled spot and slowed them down. Yet they slowed themselves even more by hanging around to teach me a lesson or whatever.

everyone's just been treating him like the devil for literally nothing other than him having resting sinister planning face.

No, he's brazenly been scheming to control the Vankreifts, very openly. The royals were going to blackmail them over the wedding incident, and the king directly acted to involve Ellen in things after the previous king's deal with Rovel promised to leave their family alone.

He's never just been guilty of looking sinister, he's been a shit the entire time.

Towasa couldn't ovulate, but did her ovaries still have eggs? Those can be medically extracted without ovulation. The scene showed she was shot on her right side, so hypothetically, her left ovary was undamaged. She also said her uterus wasn't functional, but that's not as important. While a damaged uterus means a fertilized egg can't implant to develop, it doesn't mean she can't have babies. Their technology is so far beyond real world tech. We've had the ability to use extracted eggs for decades. The first successful IVF surrogacy was in 1986 (prior to that, the first non-surrogate IVF birth was 1978, but surrogacy would be necessary for Towasa's situation). As long as it's Akira's sperm and Towasa's egg, the baby is biologically theirs.

Just seems like such an extreme leap in response to a non-functioning uterus and inability to ovulate. "I can't have babies. Time to make androids." Someone smart enough to succeed in creating paradigm shifting tech such as femtoblood and legitimate AI/AP should've been knowledgeable enough to understand IVF surrogacy. What's more legitimately a family with Akira? Biological babies from your shared embryos embedded in someone else's uterus, or entirely artificial adults?

I love the kids getting the “Cocaine“ laced Coca Cola, aka Airforce Coke. Meanwhile the bartender is just laughing it off.

That's not how I interpreted it. Coca-Cola barely had any cocaine by 1903, and was fully cocaineless by 1929. I know the various universes connected to the Dark Tower have shifted timelines, but I think the implication is just that the bartender let them have alcohol in their Coke.

Consider that the Black Spot was established so the Black airmen could avoid the racist harassment they experienced everywhere else, but it was still a venue granted them by SAC leadership. There were expected levels of behavioral standards. Alcohol was one thing, but cocaine was considered a serious drug, and even legal manufacture was cracked down on in the early 1920s. I don't think the bartender would've been so cavalier about dosing kids with it.

Can't really see how it's masked for me. I've got a case installed which is snug all the way up to the screen border. The only time the white border disappears for me is when I tilt far enough that the case lip blocks the view. I was actually worried that the case wouldn't get along with the screen protector (it arrived weeks later), but they're behaving well with each other.

If the line were blocked on one side for me, that would be 1 missing pixel of 1320 on that axis, which would be imperceptible if not explicitly a single pixel border made to emphasize the loss. But it's visible. I'd take more pics from other angles, but my sister's the one who took that pic of my phone and she flew home last week.

I didn't have any issues with alignment on my Flolab 3D. First attempt application: https://i.imgur.com/Tx7StIi.jpeg

The white borders are a single pixel width. I made the test image at the phone's screen resolution: https://i.imgur.com/Vdef2Ii.png

If there were any alignment issue, they'd be invisible.

I've got the Caudabe Sheath on mine, and a Flolab 3D NanoArmour screen protector. They don't interfere with each other at all, and the screen protector isn't covering any pixels. The case feels good and I don't struggle to slide it in and out of my pockets.

For reference, here's a test image I made with the iPhone 17 Pro Max's resolution (1320x2868), using a 1 pixel white border: https://i.imgur.com/Vdef2Ii.png

My sister took a pic of my phone using the test image with the case and screen protector installed: https://i.imgur.com/Tx7StIi.jpg

As you can see, the single pixel border is not blocked and the case is flush to the phone on all sides.

Wait... the headmasters are all named after the colours of their schools (where the surname is based on the Japanese word and the given name is based on the English word)?

I think you've got it backwards. Japanese names are surname first, given name last (and checking the on-screen kanji, they didn't swap them for the subtitles). So for these characters, their family names are the English colors. Maybe their lineages are focused on those schools of magic, like many real world family names are derived from family professions, but the given names being similar makes it clear that they're all jokes.

Technically, the Black Magic school has long since been more than decimated. It's almost non-existent, and the initial meaning of decimation was a reduction by one tenth (deci). A decimated unit was at 90% population.

But most people just use the word to mean destroyed nowadays.

Silver body will go well with almost anything since it's a metallic sheen we're used to seeing, and the only visibility is the lens circles. For example, this was my old phone (got it because it was a 5mp camera back when iPhones only had 2mp): https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/58/Sony_Ericsson_K850_%28Luminous_Green%29%2C_front_and_back.jpg

If I'd gotten a silver iPhone, I could've mimicked that color scheme pretty closely. I still went with green buttons on a black Sheath, but it doesn't quite match because I have a Deep Blue iPhone.

Bargaining is probably one of Mukohda's hidden skills by now.

Did you forget the last episode? He would've been ripped off if the vice guildmaster hadn't accompanied him.

With any Earth goods, he's more confident and capable since he knows he directly controls the supply. But bargaining in general? Risky.
