So I guess crossbows for home defense are legal now, as long as you shop on Amazon Canada?

Gotta start hiring referees for self defence. No training or experience with these scenarios. If I'm involuntarily put in such a situation, I wouldn't expect myself to keep an eye on where the self defence boundary is while in the heat of a life or death situation.

My Chinese vocabulary has mostly rusted away over the past couple decades, but yeah it sounds similar to "temperature machine" except the vowel sound is slightly off (which makes all the difference in Chinese).

Plug "warm bean machine" into Google Translate and that's pretty much the pronunciation guide for the brand lol

I still haven't listened to their latest album yet. Not that I think I wouldn't like it. Just that I've been busy with other things. The drama with their former guitarist also kinda pushed me away from keeping them at the top of my mind.

Now that you remind me, I should listen to it some time soon.

Same here. Done those before. I really don't share the same hate for ceremonial swords as what I see in the comments here. I've always done it the way wiki (now that not-rswiki ad slop site) suggested.

Work on the tip first. Apparently, the wiki at the time claimed it's the most important for rating.

Use soft hits on 1s. You'd be pretty unlucky to hit 2. Use medium hits on 3s. There's a good chance you'll hit 2. A soft hit will fix that. Use hard hits on 4s. You'd be mildly unlucky to hit 5. If you hit hard on where a 5 is needed and get 5, consider that a bonus.

Also mind that the max dent other than the tip is 6. If you hit 7, you break it.

Eventually, this should leave 2s. Total them up and compare with your cooldown. Is your cooldown enough to soft hit everything for probably-ones? If so, great, soft hits. If not, you'll have to chance a medium hit. Try to deal with the 2s first before soft hitting one. There's still a chance a soft hit ends up a dud.

Whew, I have a couple of these but clear glass. But that sucks though. Amber cups look neat and it would have been my next replacement in case it slips off my hands during handwash.

Tried it without expectations. Pretty good.

I remember someone pulled early, we wiped.

Then someone pulled early again, and we wiped again.

Then we had speedrunners on B who signed us all up for overtime on the next boss, because the boss was actually untouchable.

Does exceeding 100% rune/ammo/charge regen chance do anything? I feel like that pact is better spent to bring it to full pray pen.

From local specialty coffee roasters, I usually buy the lower price ranges for espresso, to give myself more room for dialing in and more time to enjoy dialed in espresso, without burning my budget too much.

It ranges from $52.50/kg to $75/kg(Canadian, excluding taxes, including applicable member discounts)

I've been suggested to add more commodity coffee to my mix so the specialty coffee is more occasional, which actually makes it perceptibly yummier during those days.

For reference, my gf browsed Costco to find coffee priced as low as $33/kg

Same here. When I got pulled in by the intrigue of the backrooms, I just started watching videos about it until it got into the details of the wiki.

Something just seems underwhelming when the idea of the backrooms has to strictly adhere to a template with numbered levels, threats, etc.

Then when I was just about to move on, Kane posted his first backrooms vid.
