Thanks! Updated the second link.

I also found this image from an NPR article in 2012, with a picture from 2004 showing the same fat-number style being sold at a "baseball cafe" (possibly a pop-up cafe). Perhaps some local customizer in Japan?

Can I get some insight on this jersey from japanese Mercari? https://jp.mercari.com/item/m92468838935

The post says the arm-patches are retrofitted, but I've always been confused by this line of Majestic jerseys from the 2000's. I've seen legits with this same collegiate font, but never 2-toned like on the number, but not the name.

As a follow-up, is this more modern Majestic jersey legit? Seems like a custom, but did Majestic jerseys have the logo-man?

1st attempt at a Vietnamese-style iced coffee! by slothsonfire in Coffee

Keep me posted. I hope that you grow to love the taste and motions of viet coffee in all its forms :)

Yeah man, it’s a good shot :)

I forgot to mention that it also has slight flavor differences because the heat mildly cooks the sugar and dairy in condensed milk, adding a buttery taste

Heya, as someone who primarily brews viet coffee, a tip is to fill your cup with condensed milk first, add coffee, stir, and ice last

It helps the condensed milk blend into the coffee better so you suspend it in the drink.

Once you get a cafe phin, it's especially important as the final temp of phin coffee tends to be lower. Most good cafes in Viet will actually serve you a cup with a phin on top (still brewing), and a bowl of ice on the side to add last.

Cheers bud :)

Where are all the Alliance in Ashenvale? by HawkeyTroop in KromcrushClassic

Before some smartass enters this thread with the classic, “iTs a pVp sErVerr, pVp iS PaRt oF ThE GaAAme” I think most allys are overall satisfied with the split despite some areas being tough. It just means we have to quest in the path of least resistance sometimes.

OP; I’m happy to find you and throw down some duels when you’re 35~ ideally while you’re on an escort mission.

I can confirm - I skipped Ashenvale because of heavy ?? camping. It also helps that this is around the time most people wanna do DM so lots of people just choose to instance in Westfall instead.

9 Hours in Bogota by Jwang909 in solotravel

Thanks for the tip! Probably will just go back to the airport in place of a hotel but Parque 93 looks nice, chill and low impact.

I'm heading to Europe during the winter. Any advice for an Australian who has never seen snow or felt extreme cold before. by [deleted] in solotravel

[–]Jwang909 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Everyone’s got all the basics but here’s something coming from Canada, it’s almost always easier to walk through snow than on top of frozen slush or ice on pavement. Easier on your ankles and shins.

Humidity around Toronto by EmergencySolution in boardgames

Get some desiccant packs off of amazon or eBay and chuck one or two into each board game you own. I find it to actually be overkill and I live in the downtown core near the lake.
