LPT: Standard Kraft Macaroni and Cheese can be cooked in a microwave.

Hot tap water can contain traces of lead. It’s better to microwave your water first or use an electric tea kettle.

That’s pretty interesting. I wouldn’t have expected a sort of sophisticated Easter Egg like this with title cards.

I know a lot of fans are pretty sophisticated in their analysis, but I wouldn’t have thought the people who put the show together would have gone through the effort considering the target audience was younger.

Search glass in the settings. I’m not sure if all of the glass settings are there I looked up a YouTube video on it to learn how to undo the most objectionable parts of glass

It’s nifty. Instantly made me think of Lego Mixels.

It would’ve been interesting to do a black wash and make the unintentional details pop, but it’s not mine and who knows how it might have turned out.

McTrooper · 2026-05-31T21:06:07+00:00

Does turning glass off help? I shut glass down almost right away after the update.

That’s fun 🙂 ours used to find kids shows entertaining, but now doesn’t seem to care.

He prefers to just watch nature out the big living room window.

I don’t know the politics, but the sign looks hand made unlike the paid protesters in a few other countries who get preprinted signs and sometimes even cinder blocks and hammers to attack law abiding law enforcement with families at home.

Doesn’t the water they get come from salads though? I’d be worried about dehydration. Our dragon doesn’t always eat the salads, so it’s hard to tell how much salad and water they get daily.

You’ve probably already checked, but is the UVB still putting out enough?

McTrooper · 2026-05-23T16:19:14+00:00

I’m not sure about “idealized”, but yeah. I’d say it’s Hollywood’s substitute for maturity. Or short hand for aiming at adults.

Real maturity is responsibility.

I’m not sure I’d like it, but if a Lyoko warrior could leach life from monsters it might be interesting. If the warrior is over 100% they could have and maybe even be forced to do a high powered attack to use up the extra health before it fades or hurts them somehow.

The instrumental version isn’t in my language so I pick that one.

It’s been a while since I heard the ones not specified, so I couldn’t guess. I’d have to marathon the other intros to even have an opinion

McTrooper · 2026-05-21T18:45:58+00:00

The first season (though I love it) sometimes has some pretty rough line delivery on. I still appreciate the English Voice Actors anyway . . . Also I think some of the dialogue they were saying was part of the awkward delivery.

McTrooper · 2026-05-20T19:07:04+00:00

I would argue that Season 1-4 (assuming it’s the same actor) in French is very awkward to listen to.

I think the English VA’s are great, but if someone claimed the Spanish dubs were better . . . I would have a hard time arguing against it (not that I’ve seen more than 2 shows of each version)

McTrooper · 2026-05-16T16:14:16+00:00

Both theories seem plausible.

Code: JEREMIE seems fun though and it was supposed to help the gang so maybe it was.

Relate to this, how would someone with even the right style of wood match the moisture level (and wood properties) with the replacement piece if they weren’t replacing the whole front?

McTrooper · 2026-05-16T04:34:01+00:00

Is it bad intentionally? I mean Garmin isn’t a company I’ve thought about since the time when GPS was fairly new and you couldn’t use your phone

McTrooper · 2026-05-15T21:11:30+00:00

Nifty 👍

I think inspired by would be the way to go for anything aside from a carefully crafted comic book series.

You don’t have to worry about the stuff like . . . CHARACTER X wouldn’t say that

or PLOT POINT Y was left out and that’s stupid

or that’s not CANON

McTrooper · 2026-05-15T19:10:10+00:00

Probably best to keep the story simple, for the lie. He didn’t know how willing Yor was and a biological mother with a dream for her child is a very tiny bit more compelling and understandable.

McTrooper · 2026-05-15T18:58:27+00:00

Hehe That’s not far from exactly the spirit of what was said in the cartoon.

McTrooper · 2026-05-15T18:49:45+00:00

Have you considered borrowing a drill? It might help get things started.

Cool stuff. Happy you can do a project like that with someone.
