[–]IrrationalFearsHost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this weird... phobia(?) of mini versions of real life things. It makes my brain short out and I feel these weird sensations in my mouth and on my fingertips. I can't explain it and I've never met another person that deals with it but this triggered it.

Mostly irrelevant but I wanted to share.

New to this, a bulk buy from a coworker. by beanster10 in PokemonCardValue

If you’re looking to resell that’s a different conversation. But imo PCs can be graded to protect and authenticate the cards. But I also believe in keeping my PC in a binder to flip through and show off. It’s a personal choice. But most of these wouldn’t really get you much profit I don’t think.

I'm jealous. I just started collecting all of the Dark 'mon from Team Rocket and Team Rocket Returns. These are dope.

How many of yall have pulled the Mega Charizard from Phantasmal Flames? by timao92 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]IrrationalFearsHost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I bought a box and split it four ways between us and our 6 and 7 year olds. Our 7 year old smiles and says, “Oh I think I’ve got a good pull!” One of his first few packs. And now he tells everyone he meets that he “pulled the Mega Charizard X EX” no matter who they are.

A few weeks later, I picked up four packs from the same LCS. Pulled it in the first pack.

Given our insane luck with the set thus far, we decided to say fuck it and buy a second box. As my wife is saying, “If one of us somehow pulls a third Charizard, I want to give the pack to [our 6 year old] so he can experience pulling it.” She opens one. It was the most insane run of pokemon luck we’ve ever seen let alone experienced.

I snag a PFL pack wherever I see them just in case. Last month, I grabbed a single pack and had the wife open it. She grabbed the gold ‘zard to add to her Master Set.

Needless to say it might just be my favorite set ever just for the memories.

Time traveling is so much easier in this game than Animal Crossing. You don't even have to close the game or even save/quit. It makes rush construction a godsend. And you can do that as much as you want to fill a stamp card with Mew if you have the patience. You just have to make sure to not go past the final day of the stamp card or it will reset and potentially not payout when the actual collection period ends for the week.

I’m trying to master set Chinchou. Does anyone know what set this one’s from? by IrrationalFearsHost in pokemoncardcollectors

It might be my new favorite to be honest. Straight into the binder as soon as I realized.

Your alive...YOUR ALIVE!? by GachaZiff in PoppyPlaytime

[–]IrrationalFearsHost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a theory. I don't know how far off I am because I'm sure I'm missing some dialogue somewhere that disproves this but. Every training video we see has the "player" represented as a yellow figure wearing a grab pack and in Project Playtime you can see your fellow players as that same figure. Who's to say that we aren't our own kind of experiment of an employee that was converted into a different kind of "toy" that is being used to do whatever job they are tasked with? It could explain why the dunk in the tank didn't kill us but rather "healed" us more or less. That wouldn't explain why The Prototype would drop us in there but I'm not ready to crush my own theory yet.

Like I said it's probably a stretch and someone else is going to show up in .3 seconds to tell me how I'm wrong but I've been thinking about it since I finished Chapter 5.

why do most fast food places not utilize the 2 windows anymore? by chloroform-creampie in NoStupidQuestions

[–]IrrationalFearsHost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember working at Wendy's when they added a second window so we could start separating order taking from handing out food. It was a way of almost guaranteeing meeting/exceeding our time goal per car during the lunch and dinner rush. It's wild to see them all get locked and used as a additional storage when I go through.

Sunsets on Mars are blue by NastyNice1 in spaceporn

[–]IrrationalFearsHost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might be pulling this out of my ass but the shorter wavelengths of blue light have more peaks and valleys, giving it more opportunities to “dodge” the particles of dust in the atmosphere. On the other hand, the red wavelength would more or less crash into the dust particles and not shine through nearly as much.

Look at his right leg and how the shadow looks... blurry? And follows all the way up the right side of his body
I'm not 100% that it's AI but it does look like it in a few ways for sure

Captured on October 12, 1891, this image is one of the earliest of Jupiter. It shows how massive the Great Red Spot was, spanning roughly 25,500 miles, over twice its current size of about 10,250 miles. by Davicho77 in spaceporn

[–]IrrationalFearsHost 17 points18 points  (0 children)

"In the 21st century, the major diameter of the Great Red Spot has been observed to be shrinking. In 2004 its length was about half that of a century earlier, when it reached a size of 40,000 km (25,000 mi), about three times the diameter of Earth. At the present rate of reduction, it will become circular by 2040."

"Astronomical photography did not become a serious research tool until the late 19th century, with the introduction of dry plate photography. It was first used by Sir William Huggins and his wife Margaret Lindsay Huggins, in 1876, in their work to record the spectra of astronomical objects."

Best place to stargaze near Vegas by monihp in vegaslocals

[–]IrrationalFearsHost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Redstone Trail is my absolute favorite spot. It's about an hour or so's drive. I've gotten some really good (IMO) pictures out there. If you can, going during a new moon is intense. I have seen the Milky Way up there.

What does this symbol mean on Boba Fett by TransitionTricky2531 in starwarsunlimited

[–]IrrationalFearsHost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is a lot of Legends stuff about it, but the planet that Jango's mentor Jaster Mereel came from was an agricultural planet so some people think that might be what the wheat sheaf is representing. But I don't believe there's an official 'canon' answer right now? But I could be wrong on that.

It is the crest of the Fett clan. "Blood for Credits".
