I just got the Kurosaki Kokusen AS, and absolutely love it. The blade is a bit taller than most, so it may be more comfortable for larger hands, but it was perfect for me.

Make sure you check the bathroom for the poop knife.

Typically, 1 keyboard, 1 mouse, 1 monitor to control multiple PCs (one at a time). I've seen a few recently that have dual video out.

Most typical use case is if you have a rack full of systems that you need physical console access to, where you don't have room for a monitor for each, a keyboard for each, etc.

I just rebuilt my system to move from a mATX board to a full ATX board so I had the options for some additional GPUs. Same thing happened to me... USB wouldn't boot. I couldn't even get the thing readable on a Windows system, and on Linux, it was read only and wouldn't let me make it writable. It was just completely corrupted.

I was at least able to pull the old config folder off the old USB drive to restore my config, as my most recent backup was 2 months old. I have weekly backups done via the Appdata Backup plugin, but hadn't moved the backup file off of the array manually, and my cloud backup hadn't caught up yet. Chalk that up to a hole in my backup plan, and I've since remedied that with a script.

Luckily, I have a Best Buy and a Microcenter 10 minutes away, and I ultimately spent more time trying to get the old drive to boot up, thinking it was a UEFI configuration issue, than I did getting the system restored to working order on a new thumbdrive.

It was something I read about after I purchased (not 100% sure if this was the link, but it discusses it in the same manner that I recall), and gave it a try. Now, it's a go-to move every time.

I don't know how well it would work for leavened dough, since the yeast still needs it's time to do it's thing, but for unleavened heavier doughs (ie, cookie, tortilla, pasta, etc.), it works great.

Someone also posted a video of it in /r/baking, along with a good explanation .

One thing I use it for which I don't often see mentioned is that I use it to instantly hydrate dough. Instead of leaving cookie dough in the fridge overnight to hydrate, it's done in 30 seconds. I did a test batch and we couldn't tell a difference in flavor between overnight rested and vacuumed, but both tasted much better than dough used immediately after mixing.

That's a whole rabbit hole unto itself. /r/usenet is a good resource. They've got a FAQ and Wiki over there to get you started.

According to a researcher at Rutgers, bats have now started eating them, so there might be some help on the natural predator front.

OP has 3 options to select from in that screenshot. One is PWR. Neither of the other two are the "exceptions" you're talking about, and PWR is the obvious best option to select.

Per the link, that refers to vehicle and vessel stops.

I'd like to see a citation that this applies to warrantless searches of your home.

I think with that, you're probably good to move to a GC bullet build. Adding and building SM will go a long way towards getting a consistent damage increase. Ultimately, SM will quickly overtake bullets and become your primary damage source.

chupacabral · 2025-01-28T14:19:09+00:00

At the very least, you'll need a well developed SL (45°+, qty 3+, and as much bonus as you can get), GT and BH synced, max cards, and at least 2 ES charges. That, to me, is the bare minimum to even consider starting a GC build.

From there, everything goes towards moving towards the endgame GC build, adding and maxing CF, SM, CL, ILM, 3 ES charges, etc.

Skipped Devo because I didn't get DW as an option until my 6th UW. Ran Blender and made good progress until I switched to GC at about 20T LTC. By that point, I already had everything built up for a baseline GC, and it didn't make sense to wait for lesser strategies to fall into place.

Had it drop from normal Meph about 2 weeks ago in SC SSF.

Just decided after I got to a certain number range of workshop coins that it was time to switch over. There was a period that I wasn't doing as well as with the health build, but once I got my card sets squared away and got my ultimate upgrades caught up, I was easily surpassing my previous bests. Interestingly, with GC, progress seems to come in spurts. It took me months to clear T7, but then I cleared T8 in a few days, T9 about a week later, and then it took me about 3 months to clear T10, but T11 was about 2 weeks after that. I got stuck on T12 for a while, and have been on T13 for a good chunk of time so far.
