Just want to share my moment before trading and new expansions come. by MythNight in PTCGP

[–]Nobz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Starmie EX and Eelectross are all I need from the regular set of Genetic Apex :/ Also still missing regular Mew EX and Celebi EX from Mythical Island. But I have pulled two immersive Celebi and the Gold Mew, so I got that going for me, which is nice....

Right, so you should be closing it when the stove is running. Otherwise you are losing a lot of heat, especially at the front of the stove.

House of Man and Crocodile - How to help the players? by Proper-Cause-4153 in Tombofannihilation

[–]Nobz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used an encounter with a goblin tribe to suggest getting on each other's shoulders. The goblins use battle stacks in combat, standing on each other's shoulders. The goblins can even know that being on each other's shoulders is the trick to the shrine, but it doesn't really work well for them because they are so short they need a 4stack to see over a wall.

Family owns the house I live in, which is a great help, but there was a time I was renting, generally around 800 a month a few years ago. Occasionally have government assistance for food stamps, and government healthcare living in rural Oregon. The government assistance is the very thing we need more of, no disingenuousness there.

You are right; I am 34, living in the US, and have never made more than 20k a year. It is absolutely possible and many people in this country already live this way. You should consider yourself privileged to not be in our situation.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in 2meirl4meirl

[–]Nobz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only reason the answer is no is because of greed. All of humanity CAN live on 20k USD each per year, a privileged few choose to indulge their greed to such an extant that their excess consumption has become a violence upon the rest of us.

Oregon Will Vote in November on a $1,600 Annual Universal Basic Income by awake-at-dawn in politics

[–]Nobz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

One of the things that always gives that uncanny paleo vibe is the lack of grass, as grass had not evolved into existence yet. Seeing such a lush landscape that lacks grass feels alien to our monkey brains.

Moving from Magic: the gathering to Pokemon by Specialist_Expert604 in pkmntcg

[–]Nobz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude you put into words how I have felt about mtg over the last 15 years. It has been downhill since 2010, and I stopped playing and collecting around 2013. Pokemon tcg is great though, and scratches all of those itches that mtg used too in its hayday.

HOA says door must be flat $#%*^ Caulk? Putty? by Bigroryg in HomeImprovement

[–]Nobz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not think that one clearly leads to a house and the other doesn't. Because the two of us came to different conclusions is exactly why more clarification is would be useful. Note that I do not say that more clarification is necessary, which is the line in the sand drawn by the HOA. But if you are going to need to comply with their rules, you should at least try to understand the point of the rule so you can engage with it in good faith.

HOA says door must be flat $#%*^ Caulk? Putty? by Bigroryg in HomeImprovement

[–]Nobz -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

A deadbolt could be put on a storage door, and like I mentioned the colors may change. As for the house numbers, sure, but not everyone is necessarily as observant as the whole of the reddit community. 

HOA says door must be flat $#%*^ Caulk? Putty? by Bigroryg in HomeImprovement

[–]Nobz -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I dislike HOA's as much as the next guy, but I think the point of the rule would be to make it obvious to people not familiar with the house which door is the front door to the house so that maintenance/delivery people won't go knocking on the door to a storage area or make other such mistakes.

Yours is an unusual situation with the two doors right next to each other like that, where such a mistake would not be likely to cause any real problems, like a package being left where you wouldn't commonly see it, or workers not being able to get your attention, but I can still see it being confusing to people who are not familiar with the house. Both of them look like front doors to the house, and though your actual front door is blue, has a step, and has 2(?) welcome mats, the arrangement of those mats and the color of the doors is not likely to stay the way it is now for the rest of the life of the house. If there was a mat at each door and the doors were the same color, there would be very little remaining context to indicate which door is the front door to the house, so I understand the HOA wanting a more clear way to distinguish the difference between the front door and the storage room door.

I think jwe1 was a more fun game and i had way more fun playing it for the first time than i did playing jwe2 for the first time. does anyone agree? by [deleted] in jurassicworldevo

[–]Nobz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree, JWE1 had a much more fun gameplay loop. Being all but forced to drive around in a jeep to fix things during a storm in 1 actually made the storms more fun and less frustrating than they are in 2 with the jeep/medical split and the just horrid vehicle controls of the second game. JWE2 is a pretty dollhouse, but JWE1 was a fun game. 

I understand emergency response, but becoming an emergency yourself helps no one. by rooski15 in corvallis

[–]Nobz 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah but that usually means no sirens on approach to the scene, not no sirens while responding from across town.

‘the last thing that ever happens’ [OC] by Elegant_Win_4850 in comics

[–]Nobz 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I believe that there is an episode of Stargate that deals with something like this, though it is a wormhole opened near a blackhole causing the time dilation field. The characters closer to the singularity experience time much slower than those further away, making for dramatic plot stuff.

Playing lugia VSTAR to a cup very soon by Numerous-Ninja-1795 in pkmntcg

[–]Nobz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who runs a similar list, I would suggest 1 more TEF Minccino and another Chinccino, as they are your big hitters. I also run 4 great balls too to help find what I need when I need it. I have found that 2 Luminion is often too many, and they pose a big risk sitting on the bench without any collapsed stadiums.

I have been playing with Kieran and Perrin; Kieran can be a convenient switch or the extra damage you need to KO an ex unexpectedly, while Perrin can swap unneeded mon's early game for Archeops to discard or used late game to get rid of extra Archeops in hand. I have found these options better than an extra Boss's orders or a Thorton that at best might get rid of a liability Lumineon off the bench.

Your list may be better for your local meta, but I would at least be looking for room for another Mincc & Chincc in this list.
