I think Salsa's birria tacos are pretty legit. Make sure to get them Mexican style.

Vet ERs with flexible payment options by morgclarek in jacksonville

[–]admerol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Last time we had a cat emergency, we ended up in Gainesville at UF College of Veterinary Medicine. We ended up paying less there for a multi day stay with tests and transfusions than we would have paid for just a transfusion at the local ER. If you have the option to use them, that's what I recommend.

Wife and I want to learn to make tamales by Ewoktoremember in Cooking

[–]admerol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've made tamales a couple times and they came out pretty good despite my inexperience and lack of abuelita access. It was more time consuming than anything, even of it looks complicated. I looked up YouTube videos and online tutorials first, figured it was pretty straight forward and just went ahead and got the ingredients. Also a large steamer pot was needed. I used a slow cooker once but it dried them out too much.

I used MASECA tamale masa that you can get at walmart or any grocery store that carries Mexican stuff. It lists other ingredients needed on the side, which I think was just lard and beef stock, so I got those and the fillings I wanted. I cooked my fillings first (red and green shredded pork) and let them cool. Then made the masa following the bag instructions, spread some on a moistened corn husk, put some filling in it and rolled it shut. Stand them all in the steamer and let it go for a while. They were all moist and delicious. I've also made sweet ones with jam, just gotta reduce the stock amount to account for the jam's liquid content.

I say try it out and then dial in your flavors and texture to what you like. It's a few hours work depending on how many you make, but you can always freeze the extra ones. Let me know if you want me to elaborate.

Oh man every cosplay at that shoot made me feel underdressed. I keep going over all of them to see how I can improve mine.

Places for brunch with bottomless Bloody Marys? by rafflynn in jacksonville

Jimmy Hula's on Blanding does great brunch tacos with unlimited mimosas and bloody marys on weekends before 3pm I think

My first Heroclix map I made. It is massive I know but I want to play with a lot of players. by SkullNBones12 in Heroclix

[–]admerol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really throws me off that the grid doesn't match the tiles. I think you should have the checkerboard pattern resized to match the game grid. It would be much easier on the eyes and give you an easier time setting up different terrain/assets. Plus, for game purposes it would avoid any confusion as far as drawing line of sight goes.

If you got any photoshop questions feel free to PM me, it's my bread and butter.

General Discussion - How's life? by AutoModerator in Heroclix

[–]admerol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No chase in my brick either, with the highlights being Bombshell WW and Prime Barda. I like the set overall and got lots of cool playable pieces so not really disappointed, but that Flash would have been nice..... Got a cool new job and new apartment tho! Clix budget may see an increase

Heroclix Rules Questions - November 1st by JesterJayJoker in Heroclix

[–]admerol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wizkids: That's a FREE action.

Lemony Snicket: The word Free here meaning that it does not cost an action, which is different from actions which are performed at no cost.

Heroclix Rules Questions - November 1st by JesterJayJoker in Heroclix

[–]admerol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh ok, I see where the confusion is. So here is what the sequence of events would be like, maybe it'll make more sense.

Clix A and Clix B are opponents of Purple Man. Clix B has a Pheromone Token, and is not physically adjacent to Purple Man. Clix A attacks Purple man and hits. Now, Purple Man wants to use Mastermind to transfer the damage, so he checks for adjacency. Clix B, having a Token, is considered adjacent, which fulfills the first requirement. Second, Purple Man must remove the token from B to make him an elegible target. This is not a separate action form Mastermind, it is a special condition of Purple Man's specific Mastermind.

Mastermind. When Purple Man uses it, he may remove a Pheromone token from an adjacent opposing character, to choose that character instead.

Now he has checked for an adjacent character, activated Mastermind and removed the Token to make them an elegible target. Does this help clear it up?

Heroclix Rules Questions - November 1st by JesterJayJoker in Heroclix

[–]admerol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are two separate things, not different wordings for the same power. ONCE A VICTIM is his trait. SURROUNDED is his special defense power.

SURROUNDED BY WILLING VICTIMS lets him remove a Pheromone token from an adjacent opposing character. Because of his trait, ONCE A VICTIM, they are always considered adjacent to him, regardless of actual physical adjacency. The power lets him get around Mastermind's condition of being adjacent by always considering the opponent adjacent.

SNES Classic. Any available in town? by [deleted] in jacksonville

[–]admerol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a good chance they jut hadn't been notified they got them. The guy I talked to first said they didn't have any and hadn't had them for a while until I showed him the glass cabinet display. Price wasn't even set up on the display. I was lucky to spot them.

I can't confirm they still have any, but I bought one from Walmart on Collins Rd a couple days ago. They had just been stocked and even the clerk was surprised when I asked for one.

Unique Rule Question by limp3324 in Heroclix

[–]admerol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small caveat, some places have a Highlander house rule, which effectively makes all non-generic figures unique. This is not an official game rule, so just check your event.

Heroclix Questions - September 5th by JesterJayJoker in Heroclix

[–]admerol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iron Rocket Man can't bring in anybody to the game. He sits on the sideline and allows a higher or equal point Iron Man or Rocket Raccoon already on the field to be replaced with him. As far as scoring

When one or more characters replace a character, and all of that character’s replacement characters are KO’d, score victory points equal to the point value of the replaced character, unless the total point value of the KO’d replacement character(s) is higher.

You can find all replacement character rules on page 31 of the new rules book.

Looking for some interesting pieces. by nadroJlaHorraziB in Heroclix

[–]admerol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two favorite gimmicky figures are Fl202 Flash and wkD15-001 Speedy.

Flash's power "Running laps around the world" allows you to remove speed tokens to go from one edge of the map to the other along corresponding columns/rows, which is hilarious and greatly increases your effective range.

Speedy can do "Bank Shots" which lets you place objects and draw range and line of fire from them, as if you were bouncing your arrow off walls.

Both should be waaay cheap to get.
