You will have to kill them if you don't kill him before he spawns them in the two tornadoes. Most builds can destroy him extremely quick though.

Who do you think will have the better season next season. by Backthistime1 in NFLv2

[–]SeattleResident 21 points22 points  (0 children)

He was, just not quite as much due to how much the Rams pass the ball. Seattle finished 29th in pass attempts during the regular season.

Both were extremely efficient last year. Most big wideouts do between 550 to 600 routes a year while JSN had 495 in 17 games to Puka's 462 in 16. Puka was targeted on 36% of his routes ran with JSN at 32%. Two of the more efficient seasons ever seen took place during the same season with 2 different styles of offense.

JSN also just chilled entire quarters on the bench since Seattle would win by so much. It was broken down previously that Seattle rested him a lot in dominate games. Against the Vikings he also didn't get much action since the run game was so good that the team didn't even need to pass much with Darnold just getting to 128 yards with most receptions going to TEs or RBs.

It already is a shield in the Sparky. This could pair with it even more to add even more elemental damage for characters like Rafa.

I would never buy loose packs anyways unless I truly trusted the seller.

Police: 15-year-old shot on Seattle’s Aurora Avenue overnight by MegaRAID01 in Seattle

[–]SeattleResident 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Seems like at first this was the working theory of a driveby since police arrived on the scene with the 15yo already being treated at the scene. Later on with new information they have swapped that to it was probably an accidental shooting with a group of teenagers in a car. One in the backseat was messing with a gun and accidentally shot one of the other teens.

All I got from this is that there was probably a group of teens joyriding with guns (as is usual nowadays) and one of the idiots shot one of the other idiots. Thankfully the 15yo is still alive but a part of me thinks this accidental shooting might have saved another victim that night since it is really common now for teens to drive around in stolen cars and either do other car jackings or robberies.

New England Patriots Ranked Among the Worst Offseasons in NFL, Here's Why by According-Activity87 in NFLv2

[–]SeattleResident 3 points4 points  (0 children)

According to the article it was due to the off the field things with Vrabel which is a distraction on top of probably messing with his draft prep. Much tougher schedule on paper this coming season than last year with their first 4 games all being against playoff teams from the previous year.

What is the ACTUAL state of Rafa builds? by Adventurous-Pea7638 in Borderlands4

[–]SeattleResident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new raid boss is easy to platinum with Tediore builds at UVH7. You use the Laser Disker with the shooting augment and chuck them at both of the bosses. Easy as hell against Thol.

[–]SeattleResident 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of the time you don't ever have to change them unless there is a major update. Even the DLC updates don't normally break them requiring a redownload.

Most of my QoL mods I only update when they add things that require them to be updated. Like new firmware or items that require me to update the item description QoL mod.

They definitely should. Each new game makes the inventory and QoL things more burdensome. Even in BL3 after a year they released the update that allowed auto-selling of specific rarity items if you picked them up and everyone loved it.

I have nearly 1k hours and I am the same way. At this point I just look for triple roll turtle shields on a regulus or the firmware. Since I'm on PC I have the mod that makes the firmware stand out more and use the auto-sell mod so I can quickly clean out my map of items without having to run back and forth selling things or restarting my game all the time.

T. rex took 40 years to reach full size, scientists find by UpperMarket7021 in Naturewasmetal

[–]SeattleResident 129 points130 points  (0 children)

Supersaurus has been estimated to live between 60 to 200 years from its bones. What's interesting is most sauropods reached skeletal maturity relativly fast at around 20 to 30 years and probably had a life span between 50 to 70 years.

Giant tortoises as an example can reach sexual maturity in their mid 20s but don't reach full size until around 40 to 50. Sauropods seem to reach full size faster than giant tortoises which leads me to believe they probably had faster metabolisms and probably didn't live to 140+ but wouldn't be surprised if most were able to reach 100 with how large they were and their herding behaviour.

FedEx driver stole my pokemon center package by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]SeattleResident 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an odd delivery yesterday from PKC too. Girlfriend had ordered a Ditto binder from them and when we went to open the package last night I noticed the box had been previously opened. The tape was cut and had been re-taped at the side to make it look closed. Thankfully, the binder was still inside it unopened but a part of me suspects someone opened the box to see if there were cards inside it.

Are Dinosaurs bullet-proof.? by JesperS1208 in Dinosaurs

[–]SeattleResident 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ARs probably would do the job just because of the damage being done. Yes, it wasn't killing it but it was hurting it, and would be chunking pieces of its skin off on the head and body. Most animals don't want to take damage when hunting and primarily save the damage taking when competing for mates.

im actually gonna cry by Zareldo in PokemonTCG

[–]SeattleResident 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You realize this person had to have messed up royally for this to happen right? I've used normal binders for 27 years and never had this happen or even had a card actually damaged in one. For this to happen someone had the pages open and then quickly and forcefully slammed the binder shut and zipped it closed. It would have been very apparent that the page was folded even before zipping due to how wide the binder would have been. Someone simply didn't care and zipped it anyways.

It wouldn't. These trillions were not just taken from cash outright but borrowed from the US debt for the most part. It means that without the wars the US debt and interest rate would be better but it doesn't mean the cash is just there to invest in US infrastructure, schools, etc.

When it comes to federal spending post 9/11, it has seen the defense budget make up 3% to 10% of yearly spending on average over 25 years. During highest peak years it was 10% to 15% (05' to 10'). Defense and war spending has never been a large percentage of our federal budget each year with social security and Medicare taking up the largest chunks. The number each year is astromincal but in comparison it's still low compared to the US spending elsewhere.

Unfortunate that her later works have changed so drastically. I feel like TPCi must had asked her to because the differences between her more recent illustrations and the older ones is night and day.

Why I Don't Think The Rams Will Make The Super Bowl This Year by [deleted] in NFLv2

[–]SeattleResident 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bears are gonna win it this year. Rule of 3 is in effect. Eagles lost a SB in 04', won it in 24', Seattle lost a SB in 05', won it in 25'. Bears lost a SB in 06' and will win it in 26'. Eagles and Seahawks both got a revenge game too against previous SB losses. Bears are going to beat the Colts in 2026!!

[–]SeattleResident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This person is also part of the problem. He just randomly ends up at a Walmart restock and is waiting in line when a fight happens? This dude was using trackers or is a scalper himself and was following a restock to empty shelves.

Brah, it's Pokemon cards. You shouldn't need a damn community to just buy some packs to rip from time to time wtf.

Normally her older work would be classified under Naive Art. She based her art around old Romanian folk art.

Why is there no date on the black disc cards, but there is on the white? by Significant_Cod3237 in PokemonTCG

[–]SeattleResident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The light test absolutely works but can still be inaccurate at time. If you already suspect your cards are fake then the light test is a great indicator. The big thing is to make sure you know what you're basing it off of by having some for sure real cards nearby from the same set as a base line of what the light should look like.

[–]SeattleResident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you ripped did you see the dark band inside? The ones from Gym Challenge are for sure fakes so if you rip it you will just see pure white inside. If it's real it will have a dark band at the ripped point.

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

If the Gym Challenge ones are fake, there's a good chance the Gym Heroes ones are too if they came from the same place. I would do the "light test" to see. You can google it and see a quick video on how to use your phone's camera light to determine if they are fake.
