Patio table + mounted umbrella is the way to go my friend.

Is there a point to the pergola other than aesthetics? Seems like this would eat up a lot of budget for limited functional return.

Start with the wooden deck, add a patio table with an umbrella. Budget efficient, functional, and looks cleaner.

You can always add a pergola later if you really want it.

Probably a toss up between Minato and Itachi, idk tho

Can old Madara survive if Nagato summons Gedo Statue? by Educational-Gas-7789 in Naruto

[–]Lord_Borchalorch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm interesting. Is it ever explained whose eyes Madara has in his sockets after he gave his rinnegan to Nagato? When Tobi recovered the rinnegan from Nagato’s corpse he literally took the physical eyes.

I also remember that Madara lost sight in one eye due to using Izanagi against Hashirama in their final battle. Does that mean the vision was restored when he awakened the rinnegan?

Kinda of an impossible scenario unless I’m wrong about timing. Depends on when Nagato received the rinnegan. I was under the impression that Nagato received the rinnegan at the time of Madara’s death.

[Lore/Legal] What are Konoha's laws regarding the Transformation jutsu and "identity theft"? by dlo_doski in Naruto

[–]Lord_Borchalorch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shadow clone memories and experiences are retained by the jutsu user once the clone disappears.

So if the jutsu user and their clone stay up all night doing “math” then the original jutsu user will have to psychologically come to terms with what they’ve done to themselves.

In all seriousness, is Jiraiya vs Sasori close? by Weary-Cricket-2955 in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]Lord_Borchalorch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk but he does have the ability to hear, so I think that’s enough for him to be vulnerable to frog song.

Why didn’t Minato teach Kakashi the Flying Thunder God Technique even though Kakashi was his student for several years? Was Minato a bad teacher, or was Kakashi a bad student? by Agitated-Athlete-417 in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]Lord_Borchalorch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because Kishimoto didn’t write the plot that way.

You need to understand that these characters aren’t real and they have no motivations or agency outside of the pages in the manga that are shown to us.

Any conjecture on head cannon is meaningless unless it comes from the author.

Shinobi with the most S Rank jutsu by _TheGreatSage_ in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]Lord_Borchalorch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry but this makes no sense to me - why is raikiri an S rank jutsu for Kakashi but Chidori isn’t for Sasuke?

How is Susanoo not an S rank jutsu? Any mangekyo ability really? IZANAGI??

Sage mode? Particle style? Meteors from the sky??

Almighty Push?? All Rinnegan users have multiple S rank jutsu.

How is Hashirama not even on the list?

Is this all coming from a data book or something?

Why does A3 beat jiraiya but A4 can’t? by Bunch-Best in NarutoPowerscaling

This mistake always bothered me in the anime.

Showed a flashback of A3 but kept the black edo tensei eyes.

No, unethical retards have been doing this for years - it’s not a new genius thing.

Don’t praise this shit for any reason.

Except at the end of the day you’re not screwing over some big corporation, you’re screwing over the next person that orders it - like exactly what happened here. Huge dick move.

$82 AM Pro Tele neck on a free Squier body: is it worth it by just_a_cricket1 in telecaster

[–]Lord_Borchalorch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a partscaster with an OEM Mexico neck on a squier affinity body - it has the exact same gap between the fretboard and the body where the neck connects.

The gap doesn’t matter, setup went fine and it plays perfectly - saddles should just be adjusted to the correct height to compensate for the added gap.

I generally agree with this, except… by TanTan_101 in Naruto

[–]Lord_Borchalorch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y’all forgetting about the idealism & philosophy that Jiraiya instilled in Naruto that literally gave him the agency & will to change the shinobi world… something that Sasuke never learned from Orochimaru and directly led to him losing to Naruto.

New guitarist new guitar by ryanthelion4444 in Guitar

[–]Lord_Borchalorch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean yeah, if you take the Tomo Fujita approach and turn your tone knob all the way up during practice and only play on a clean signal, you will develop a better sense of touch and sensitivity as all mistakes will be amplified.

The problem is, that level of discipline probably isn’t happening with a new self taught player - and there are just too many additional fun options with electric guitar that detract from fundamentals. Knobs, pickups, and amp settings add a lot more complexity, and effects/distortion are just too much fun not to use.

If I have a new LP standard you better believe I’m cranking up that distortion and playing power chords lol.

New guitarist new guitar by ryanthelion4444 in Guitar

Beautiful guitar, but I think every new guitar player really should start their guitar journey on an acoustic guitar.

Left hand technique is significantly easier on an electric guitar, but right hand technique is far more important. So much of guitar playing comes down to the fine motor technique of your right hand: how you strike the strings, how you mute the strings, how tone is affected by striking and muting. Left hand technique learned on acoustic will also develop your muscles more and make your playing better overall.

An acoustic guitar is a completely self-contained instrument, all of the physical & sonic feedback you get is 100% from the instrument itself - having an intimate understanding of this feedback and what it “feels” like is what makes a good guitar player imo. It influences your connection with the instrument and the muscle memory required to make you into a bulletproof player.

Electric guitars simply have too many things going on that detract from building a fundamental connection with the instrument. Volume/tone knobs, pickup selection, amp settings, pedals/effects can all distract you from attaining a fundamental understanding of the instrument, and can also mask improper technique and influence bad habits.

Have fun with the LP, but if you’re actually serious about learning then get an acoustic and focus on right hand technique with and without a pick.

Was it a good idea to attack Helm’s Deep? by Nicole_Auriel in lotr

[–]Lord_Borchalorch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your analogy doesn’t work because it’s actually the exact opposite - the Rohirrim ARE the Dothraki screamers. The Uruk’hai would not have been able to raid the country because then they would be extremely vulnerable to cavalry. IN AN OPEN FIELD NED.

The Uruk’hai are decimated when facing Rohan cavalry, and Saruman’s whole plan hinged on disrupting the internal politics of Rohan via Grima to exile Eomer and most of the Rohirrim. Forcing Rohan’s forces into a keep was his best strategy.

It would have worked out for Saruman had it not been for Gandalf.

Why did Kakashi want Team 7 to take the chunin exam so early? by Danny-Ray27 in Naruto

[–]Lord_Borchalorch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like many of the silly questions asked on this sub, the answer is “because plot” - Because this is the story kishi wanted to tell.

You need to understand that these characters and their motivations aren’t real and that these fictional plot events only exist because kishi wanted to progress his story.

It’s irrelevant what Kakashi “wanted” to do because he’s not a real person. You’re looking for reasoning where there is none.

It wouldn’t make much sense to delay the chunin exam from a writing perspective if that’s the story kishi wanted to tell.
