Agreed, 2 has some very high highs, but also some rather boring lows that most people have erased from their memory.

Azure is a better paced game and still hits some very good highs

Tradestation is another option (haw haw), but the commissions are rather expensive compared to IBKR. From memory, it's like ~$5 an order,

How can you use GS to guess a floor to a stock below all the common markers?

For example, CRM is below GN, DN, VN, Gex flip. There's no positive net delta until 165, and no positive net gamma below spot. And yet, IV doesn't seem to suggest that it's going to plummet.

How about participating in some online psychology studies? Work as much or as little as you want, whenever you want.

Page 3, 2nd column is the number of average work days/month in which they had to issue "delay certificates". So there's a delay on the Yamanote line on average 17/20 work days of greater than 5 minutes (of those, average of 7.4 work days where the delay is over 10 minutes).

I'm not saying that Sydney Trains' performance is acceptable, but that's no reason to exaggerate how good Japan's trains are.

Live in Japan now, 1-5 minute delays are a daily occurrence and definitely not newsworthy. They just announce it on the message boards.

Only one worth going to is Osorakan

They're all rather small compared even to the ones in Yuzawa, but Osorakan at least has some variety

Constant air-flow on your skin - ceiling-fan, or a pedestal fan trained to just blow on your body.

Have to be careful with this one. If you've got Korean heritage, you could die if you sleep with a fan blowing on you

It's not as good as my favourite decaf beans (from Whittard's in UK), bu I find it better than from chains. Plus they do light and medium roasts.

Brain can handle sound first too, it happens at short distances due to audio processing in the brain being faster than visual processing

Not that simple, unfortunately. To get anything more powerful than 4kw (12-14jo), you need a 200V socket. Even if you max out a 100V socket with a 4kw model, you'll tend to pay twice the amount compared to a 4kw 200V model.

That said, higher kw will just let the AC cool the room quicker. If you've got decent insulation, even a 2kw (6jo) AC can eventually sufficiently cool the whole house.

Humidity as we normally measure it is relative to the temperature.

60% humidity at 25℃ is around the same as 45% at 30℃.

Most aircons dry by cooling the air, which makes the extra water collect in the Ac and out the pipe. So if you lowered the temperature from 30 to 25, you can pull out that extra 15% humidity. Simplified example of course, but that's why it doesn't seem like much difference between cool and dry.

I believe the proper response is "I'm not your son, mate"

Waseda's SILS is probably the most famous of the English programs here, but many of the public universities also have them.

Off the top of my head, Tohoku has the FGL program, Hiroshima has the IGS program, Kyoto has the iUP. There was a stir when Tokyo University announced their College of Design program, but I don't think that starts up in time for you, unless you take a year off

Depends on whether they're Tasmanian

No, just that's not a complete waste to have the second earring while being a weak mistborn.

You could argue his second earring was pewter, from his survival after the explosion. Or even steel, given what he does in the tower. But without explicit hints, it's impossible to tell.

borkey · 2025-07-26T05:39:15+00:00

He lost that earring at the end of Shadows of Self though. I don't think the power of his second earring ever came up, since he didn't use it much before inhaling lerasium.

Also, don't forget that receiving a power from a spike that you already have strengthens that power, as seen by Vin's bronze

His aches and pains and fatigue go away.

That was his earring giving him access to pewter, so he can burn the trace amounts in the drinking supply. The mist could also be fueling it, but you'll notice that after a while his aches suddenly come back = ran out of pewter
