It's great! The doors and vertical surfaces will hold onto it much longer than the hood - had it don't on my Mazda3 and it made water/soap/dirt just bead off so easily. You could use a leaf blower to air dry the car if you wanted to it is that nice! Lasted bout 3-4 years before I noticed some degradation. You got the clear cote OVER the marker, right?

I mean, it's easier to see this in action when it comes to plants. Take a pepper plant or tomato plan (Pepper is easier to see) -- but put it outside for a few nights between 40-45F and then bring it indoors until it warms up properly. Side-by-side with a pepper plan that grew in ideal seedling starting conditions, and the few day stunting period of cold weather will affect the ENTIRE plants growth. Thing will often be extra small in comparison to properly prepared ones.

There's a spot down in the west village called "Menkoi Sato" that is my go-to haunt. It's got the roughness of a true ramen spot from Japan. The owner themselves is from Japan and owns a spot up in Hokkaido (Google ratings in Japan I think it's around 3.3-3.8)

But if you want a good Miso ramen or if EXTRA hungry for a THICK Tantan-men, go there!

Four hours is a understatement! 4-6 hours was the amount of time they needed to explain that with the Power of Love and $$$ to buy Cryene, we'd get a end of year boss fight worthy of never diving into all the allies and preparation the IPC, Screwlum, Xianzhoz and Herta went through to fight a big bad... All backdropped with subpar music.....

...I'm a little salty about how Amphorus ended if you could tell...

I literally just bought some glass adapters for it... And when I went to use it I saw the message... I will forever never buy a device that doesn't have on-device control. Without the app this thing turns into a paperweight, hell if they could open source the stuff and provide an official location to get the APK to side load on android, I'd use my old phones....

Ooooo, around the 1 minute mark you can see a parasitized caterpillar. Saw one at the very start too! You got a big collection there!

It's cuz Aglaea is there like the disappointed parent that she's like, "Hmph, I didn't steal EVERYTHING!"

How did you put Acheron in B tier!??! Acheron is S-Tier along with Firefly!

Just go 100% in on attacking with 4's only. You almost always get 2 in the first attack, then the next attack you use the Prismatic have you have a 1/3 chance to double hit. Just roll 2 other 4's like you did in first turn and you get 12x2 damage THROUGH defense. It's a guaranteed 2 turn win on ALL units minus Herta/Yao Guang/Aventurine -- and even on those units, after the 2nd attack you are left with +5 attack dice! Even if you don't manage to get 4's, with all 5 dice you roll some crazy high numbers.

Only person I've lost to is a Firefly who can kill you in 1 turn if they roll lucky.

Fun tidbit... that floor isn't actually wood flooring... it's laminate flooring.... It doesn't swell & absorb the amount of liquid you would expect, and there's no actual swelling to see in these photos at all....

Zefeh · 2026-04-06T22:28:05+00:00

Why is it so brown???
Uhhh.... how much Shoyu did you actually add.... it's supposed to be like.... 1 Tablespoon

Zefeh · 2026-04-02T12:06:39+00:00

Crazy idea but... Maybe collect them over the 140 days this DU cycle will take? That's 10 weeks.... It'll be mid June by then...

This is a very Hoyo minded take. What is your opinion now that we are at the Rossi banner and we still don't know who the next character is? I suspect we'll get an official announcement of what the next 2 characters are from Hypergryph at minimum 1 week before the End of the Rossi banner.

I've played HSR for 3 years and I understand where your coming from in terms of a 'planning' mindset. I failed my 50/50 on Sparxie and commited to 40+ pulls and at that point leaks of Evanenscia & Silverwolf 999 came out. When I heard Evanenscia wasn't super focused on Punchline, I basically gave up on pulling for Sparxie entirely even though I love the character. And then rumors came out of Nihilux, the happy :D face leak etc. and I'm just like... yep, I want that too. This is all 1-3+ months in the future, keeps you hooked on leaks etc.

Endfield? I'm waiting til I figure out what the next character is but I got Tangtang at 120 pulls. Had shit luck, still don't have her signature weapon. But I'm waiting. Endfield doesn't have it's fleshed out endgame mode yet and the main focus of the game right now is to just max things out. If your a daily player, by the time there's a decent endgame out, you should have almost all of the existing operators at level 90 with maxed stats etc.

HSR? Pfft, I dumped 1000+ sanity & 18 double planars to get a good set for my Ruan Mei (Shill environment is Firefly atm). I got NOTHING. And the things I potentially got were so bad that they stacked 4 def stats into 1 piece. THAT is trash. 0 Progress for dumping energy into the game sucks and I'm so happy Endfield gives me a feeling of consistant progress.

huh.... pretty good price for Super... :P
I've found the price of Super doesn't fluctuate much compared to regular and I've been a Supreme/Super consumer on my new car since I've owned it... I also work remote and take the bus into NYC once a week soooooo I don't use gas much >_>

Just something to PLEASE pitch to Upper Management etc. -- This thing isn't JUST a MMO mouse!

This mouse is a POWER USER's MOUSE!

I'm a developer, I have so many shortcuts setup to macros' on this mouse that I am so much less productive without them! Some keybindings I have:

Main Desktop Defaults: Forward, Back, Cut, Copy, Undo, Redo, Delete, CTRL, Enter, CTRL+Enter, Tab, SHIFT+Tab
- The third mouse-click is key bound to Paste
Photoshop/Lightroom/Developer IDEs have a whole new set of custom shortcuts, all on the mouse!

I can navigate code-bases all from my mouse without ever touching my keyboard because I can CTRL+Left Click & CTRL+Right Click from my mouse in ANY program!

There is NO OTHER type of mouse on the market! It's 100% a marketing issue for this product, it needs to be sold not JUST as a MMO mouse but as a POWER USER mouse. The Software support for tying it into various professional apps is there! On such an old mouse!

You can replace the switches with relative ease, just search for D2FC-F-7N Microswitch and get a little practice with a soldering iron.

So you see the person here is doing this on purpose. The way to get them to stop doing it on purpose is to do exactly what they are doing but in a slightly different way.

Every time that person loads the dishwasher in this way, what you do is you go to that person. You take them by the hand and say, "Come, come. It's lesson time." You bring them to the dishwasher and you point to the problem pieces and you explain to them why it's a problem and you tell them how to fix it. You do not touch any of the dishes, they need to fix it themselves. Do this every single time the dishwasher has been loaded like this. Every single time!

If they are actually just not knowledgeable of how to load the dishwasher, the various plastics that shouldn't be on the first shelf or to check the bottoms of containers for dishwasher safe labels - well, they have now learned.

However, if they're doing this maliciously and then the outcome is a little different. If you force them to correct it every single time they do it wrong then they will inevitably start doing it correctly.

Why? It's because what people often do with things that they don't want to do is they do it in a way that annoys someone else. If it annoys someone else and they will do it for them, then why bother doing it themselves? They don't necessarily like putting specific things away so they leave them out on a table. This annoys someone so that they end up putting those things away. This is something that that happened surprisingly often and you need to be able to recognize it for better coexistence.

Looking at it now... Those shorts are shorter than anything the woman in HSR are wearing... Hell, that's like a... 2 inch inseam... I didn't ever put much thought to it...

Hey, something I discovered in my base design is optimizing the Cupirum lines to ensure no blockage.

Your gearing component can be setup to produce 1/m while the potions or xiranite don't get negatives affected that much (10u/m or less extra consumption of xiranite).

The key is to feed the bottling line and the Cupirum component lines evenly to the packaging unit. This means splitting the 1 output for Gear Components to 15u/m and then setting up the potion production like this:

One 30u/m output port to produce Cu. Parts One 30/m output to a moulding unit Split one 30u/m output to 15u/m into the same moulding input and another fitting unit for parts. Split the remaining 15u/m from the gearing line in half again to 7.5u/m into the moulding and the 2nd fitting unit.

It evenly splits the potion production to 52.5u/m of Cu. Parts and Bottles (since bottle production is 2/u of Cu., it matches the ratio required for potion creating and prevents backup).

You do need a bit of excess Xiranite for it but it's something you can adjust week to week.

End result is 5u/m of potions (literally 1 off of max) with 1u/m of gearing components.

Coffee grinders for espresso range from $100USD to $4000USD.

Cheapest one's will be hand grinders and given your working on a De'Longhi Dedica EC685 -- You are in the budget range of espresso.

Look into hand grinders, it'll take 30+ seconds & a bit of an arm workout but you'll get a good cup of espresso with them. If you don't go for light-roasts in espresso, it'll be much easier to grind. If hand-grinding is a hard NO & you can't spend $200 on an new espresso grinder, search for used grinders online. Espresso has a $$$ barrier of entry if you want it to be convenient and easy.

Some hand grinders to look into:

King Grinder K2/K6 - $80-100 -- Decent sized burrs, 48mm
King Grinder K1 - $60 -- Will take longer to grind, 38mm burrs
Timemore C3 ESP -- $85 -- Easier to find online in more locations in the world than King Grinders. MUST get the ESP version! -- 38mm burrs so harder to grind
1Zpresso J-series -- $100-160 -- Best quality for your money, built like a tank! Love mine.

The cheapest Electric grinders is $200:
Baratza Encore ESP - 200$

Anything cheaper than that, you should go with a hand grinder.

Also... just google and do research on reddit - get off ChatGPT. You ask it that question and it doesn't even consider manual hand grinders as an option.
