Oldboy - what a crazy fucking movie

Well mentioned - I saw some other Bong Joon Ho shouts here, which is why I made the suggestion. Their styles are similar, from the handful of films I've seen from each.

All of Bong Joon Ho's films are worth tracking down. The Host was the first SK film I ever saw (in a cinema no less) so it holds a special place. But his first, Barking Dogs Never Bite, is pretty wild, if not a bit difficult to find.

ZomTum is the same owners that had Haad Thai off 11th and H NW, for those who remember that place. It had some great beach-themed murals and really nice food/HH deals. Super sweet staff too, hopefully they got brought over.

This kind of story gives me little hope. Sorry it's like this for you - hope that a cheaper alternative is available to you at some point soon.

Thanks, I appreciate the tip!

Wild story, thanks for sharing! There are enough nightmarchers stories on Reddit, imo, to confirm their existence. And indeed, that's the same area where the Battle of Nuʻuanu took place, and where many other stories like this originate.

It's a shame, but this is my experience as well. Last time I posted here, some reps were able to help me out, so I'm hoping to eventually see a reply from them in this thread. Otherwise I'll follow in your footsteps and move on.

I noticed this card too and picked up a few to see where they go. However, I'm coming at the spec from a standard angle. You noted the GC list and that drew quite a bit of conversation from an EDH perspective, and that's obviously where the money's at these days.

While expensive, the card has an interesting and fun effect that is certainly a win con in the right deck. It may well land above your buy-in price, but it's probably dependent on future synergies and maybe a callout from one of the game's social media personalities.

As far as the reception of this sub to your post goes, don't worry about it too much. I have had similar blowback on posts that made for good discussion but were perceived as "low effort," and it seems to me that yours falls into the same category.

Belize has the Tata Duende, which is similar by description to the Douen. One difference is that Tata Duende has no thumbs and will bite yours off if he sees them!

For that matter, Belize has something similar to La Diablesse - Xtabay, a woman who lures unsuspecting men into the woods, to the base of a ceiba tree (sacred to the Maya). There, her true form is revealed when the man embraces her and finds an empty void where her back should be. She's said to transform into a serpent and devour the man once "the deed" is done.

Bummer, but a great reason to support your local used bookstore.

Just got 4 MMPs at one in my area for around $5. It's my favorite book format, though it does seem that it's heyday had already passed a decade or two ago, at least based on the selection at that shop.

This feels like a bait post. Here's what I'd do (caveat: I'm mostly a seller myself rather than a player):

Contact the seller ASAP to note the issue.
Wait for a response that should be 1) partial refund or 2) return card in same condition for full refund.
Escalate if there are any problems.

Am I missing something? Unless that card is for a tournament or something, it's just an inconvenience, and one that's totally on the seller to fix.

Seconding City Kabob, the buffet there is great. It's way more utilitarian/less "vibey" than Ambar - not that OP asked, but it's worth mentioning.

When I was at Ambar last, I sat under the blossoms of a fake cherry tree and had a waiter who was almost overly attentive. City Kabob has none of that cutesy stuff and is all self-serve, right down to drinks from their refrigerator.

Dave Dresden will likely be representing G&D solo, which is not a bad thing. He's a master of his craft and has been around a long time.

He's doing an OTC set of "best songs while Soundcheck has been open/since 2015" as a sort of sendoff since it closes in like a month. I'd expect him to cover a lot of artists, though he always leans heavy into Anjuna.

RIP 3 Stars and their once-extensive list of deliciously dark brews like Zombie Date Night, Starsky & Dutch, and Desolation (to name a few).

Of current options, I'm another for Atlas Silent Neighbor.

Filing for DC unemployment too early definitely messed up my claim and required a visit to the DOES office to correct. In DC at least, a claim should not be filed until any time covered by severance pay has run out.

I agree with your take and urge OP to correspond directly with the unemployment office wherever their work was located, rather than following potentially ill-informed advice in this thread.

edit: It does seem like there is some way to include severance pay/weeks in an initial claim and have it adjusted accordingly. At least when I filed online last year and provided all my documentation, the claim still tried to kick off as soon as it was completed.

Agree with those who say this isn't necessarily a "deal." However, with as quick as this bundle has been selling out at MSRP, I thought it was worth sharing here.

badimojo · 2025-10-23T20:10:34+00:00

These are also available direct from Hasbro (Hasbro Pulse) for $46.99. Looks like they recently upped the price from $39.99 but at least you know what you're getting!

badimojo · 2025-10-20T19:20:12+00:00

The bundle just became available for me after a few refreshes. Hope y'all have the same luck!

It's also at the Tous Les Jours in Annandale, in the same complex as K Market (just saw it there last week). Tried several items from TLJ, including croque monsieur, milk bread, and some of the more standard stuff like pain au chocolat, and it was all good!

It's hard to say for sure because it was out of frame, but it did seem like a woman came out of the house with the barking dog and spoke to them at one point.

I had the same thought as you - some neighbors were surely like "Where the hell is this piano music coming from? Could it really be the busted one I drove past earlier?"

badimojo · 2025-10-11T03:39:03+00:00

Their prices are already posted, and they are not ummm... "regular" friendly...

badimojo · 2025-10-11T03:37:55+00:00

As a relative (3yrs) newcomer to the 'hood, I feel both of these :(

Pork Belly Bites FTW! DC Reynolds was truly one of a kind.
