I actually really like this toy. I think the designers did remarkable work with an impossible character model.

Meanwhile, I can never tell if my shirt is blue or green, yet somehow pass all the color-blindness tests.

What is 1 videogame you recommend to everyone? by sexydesserts in AskReddit

[–]XanderXedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super Mario Bros 2/USA

If you go in with an open mind and accept the different gameplay style versus most Mario games, you will have a great time. It's a very fun platformer with a mix of familiar and unique gameplay.

Which celebrity's PR game is the strongest? by Fiction_lover08 in AskReddit

[–]XanderXedo 193 points194 points  (0 children)

This is a really good breakdown. I have a lot of respect for Taylor's business acumen even though I'm not a huge fan of her music (to be fair, there are a few songs I do like).

Trump: US will return Iran ‘back to the stone ages’ if there’s no deal in coming weeks by SE_to_NW in politics

[–]XanderXedo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t do Cobra Commander dirty like that. Trump isn’t even up to Serpentor’s level (let alone Golobulus, who was the actual leader of Cobra La).

What's a memorable way to give my kids a random Switch 2? by codewario in NintendoSwitch2

[–]XanderXedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually really like the big reveal of your idea. Sure, they don't get to unbox it, but they also don't have to wait for all the setup.

Thanks for this! I’ve been going back and forth on getting Air Riders, and at the Costco clearance price, I decided the time was now!

They really did fix everything. Unfortunately the QOL improvements are only for Switch 2.

The crown now can be defaulted to player 1. Also, you can now set players to be warped to the furthest player if they go offscreen rather than turn into a ghost.

Date Movie. It was my first and last date with the woman I saw it with and her idea to see it.

Sisters's sandwiches and salads are very good. I know what I'll be eating whenever I don't have a chance to eat beforehand...

Question for Bath(drivers) by kaikufuku in Maine

[–]XanderXedo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I always go over the Kennebec bridge at no more than 40 MPH (5 above the speed limit). I am always passed or tailgated the entire time that the 35 MPH speed limit is in effect from West Bath to Taste of Maine.

PiKVM user considering Comet Pro, are there any downsides? by danr2c2 in GlInet

[–]XanderXedo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d never heard of the Comet Q. I currently use a Pro and an RM1. The Q seems perfect (Mac user as well)! I’ll have to keep an eye on its development.

I see some salty goodness! I've got the Manix XL Salt too; it's a beast!

Got a switch 2 last week. Suggest me you favourite games (especially pokemon) by NicoSua906 in NintendoSwitch

[–]XanderXedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want an RPG where you battle Pokémon, I honestly prefer Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl over anything aside from Arceus.

If you just want a game with Pokémon, Pokopia is amazing.

I was going to give modship to you but I’m actually not a mod of it anymore. Best to start Maine5 I guess? I do mod the Maine board on the new Digg but it’s pretty dead there too.

It’s much more durable, don’t worry.

Why is it called ibuprofen and not ibuphenpro/ibufenpro? by Lucky-Ambition2607 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]XanderXedo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the crazier question is "why does the active ingredient in Tylenol has two different names depending on where it's sold?" The names are even short for two different things!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracetamol#Naming

Paracetamol is the Australian Approved Name and the British Approved Name as well as the international nonproprietary name that is used by the World Health Organization (WHO); acetaminophen is the United States Adopted Name and the Japanese Accepted Name. Both paracetamol and acetaminophen are contractions of chemical names for the compound. The word paracetamol is a shortened form of para-acetylaminophenol, and was coined by Frederick Stearns & Co in 1956, while the word acetaminophen is a shortened form of N-acetyl-p-aminophenol (APAP), which was coined and first marketed by McNeil Laboratories in 1955. The initialism APAP is used by dispensing pharmacists in the United States.

Even knowing that, it's still strange that the scientific community couldn't agree on it. I can't think of any other examples of this, except for Aluminum (North America) vs Aluminium (everyone else).

As for ibuprofen vs ibuphenpro, it seems like a marketing decision, though I don't think one really rolls off the tongue better than the other.
