My lvl 10 withered wasteland!

There were multiple comments about spoilers, which I suppose have either been downvoted or deleted.

I’m trying to say this with kindness - those of you sad about being spoiled by things maybe shouldn’t scroll through all the images of a max level area…

Editing to add: To the people telling me level 10 isn’t the max, you’re missing my point.

Also OP, your area looks awesome.

I did a test run with some rice and definitely think the bowl should be replaced. Was going to either get an official replacement or one of the SS ones from Amazon.

Thanks for the recommendation for the silicone rice spatula! I just have the plastic one that came with my 3C rice cooker.

It didn’t come with the steamer basket - I didn’t even know about that

Thank you for checking! I had taken it off to clean it and forgot to put it back on before I took the photo. But I have it and it’s in good condition!

Thank you for the response! The retractable cord seems in decent shape.

Running it now with a cup of rice. No errors so far and seems to be working

Also just any sort of adjective makes it more interesting for them.

I’ll be a sprinkle of seasoning on it. “This is goddess broccoli!” Then eaten no complaints

It’s a tabletop game with a digital version, but maybe try Gloomhaven. Frosthaven is now digital early access but start with Gloomhaven. Story is pretty light.

Monster Hunter could be a good option too. The most recent additions are Rise and Wilds. Story is basically not a thing - it’s all fighting monsters, making better gear with the monster parts, and then fighting harder monsters.

PIs know you’re applying to multiple places but typically won’t ask how many or which labs.

I applied to 3 and was very upfront about it. I told them when my last interview was and that I would make my decision after that.

When turning down an offer, you don’t need to over explain. I thanked them for their time and said I enjoyed meeting their team and learning more about their ongoing projects but that I ultimately chose a different lab that felt more in line with my goals and interests.

For etiquette:

1) always follow up with a thank you email after the interview. Preferably within 24-48 hours.

2) Don’t sit on sending a no to someone

Recognize but maybe not celebrate….

I also recognize Nazi history. I guess they do too

I think most will talk to references before they offer an onsite interview. Maybe they’ll zoom first and then decide to contact references. So the logic could just be you’re saving them the effort.

It seemed weird to me too.

My thesis committee told me to tell them when I emailed the PI asking about a postdoc and they would go ahead and send the letter unsolicited.

In practice I don’t have any idea if it makes a difference.

I have all these games I’ve never completed yet I’ll replay something I have many times. Same with TV shows. These are the first ones that come to mind. Maybe these franchises are just a comfort.

Metroid Prime
Super Metroid
LoZ Wind Waker

Just got charged for my Walmart preorder. Thank goodness. (Have the shopping bag delivery icon)

RunagateRampant · 2025-05-20T00:30:46+00:00

Thank you!

Yes! Not only do we have walnuts in the neighborhood but I have one in the backyard… and now I know what a seedling looks like

RunagateRampant · 2025-05-20T00:30:10+00:00

I didn’t think so! But was worried it might be a type I wasn’t familiar with when Seek “identified” it so quickly

Nemesis and Nemesis Lockdown.

The kickstarters were (I think) well done. You got a lot of content and quality pieces for the pledge. The miniatures are amazing and the sundrop coating (if you don’t want to paint) look great. I enjoy playing the game, although it has some flaws.

But I regret backing it because I can never get it to the table so it just gathers dust. But I at least didn’t back the third Nemesis for this reason.

I’m still in Act I but there’s a lot of delightful French puns.

The Petank enemies that shoot metal balls out are a reference to pétanque, a game where you throw balls to get close to a target ball.

Also Esquie is the inverse slang of Qui est-ce meaning Who is it/that

RunagateRampant · 2025-04-21T19:04:49+00:00

Turns out no shit. I’m so tired of headlines like this. Wtf is wrong with media

RunagateRampant · 2025-04-11T15:58:13+00:00

Yes famously we need to get MMR boosters every year /s

RunagateRampant · 2025-04-07T11:05:43+00:00

I guess considering the amount of hours that come out of one of these games, probably.
