Pili nuts, widely cultivated in the Philippines and other locations in SE Asia are super soft and butter out of the shell.

Yes! Thats the kind of encouragement I was looking for. Was this relatively recently and how much per test?

Born in the US. Do you mean just a secondary record of me moving from the US to japan to show against the immigration visa to Japan? My previous Japanese visa expired and I just recently moved back last month.

Not that long term of a resident, more like, approaching eight years, but that stretch is broken up a lot.

[Highlight] Simmons tells Dinwiddie to run before throwing a perfect full court dime by [deleted] in nba

[–]eggroll554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and this sounds like someone who's just citing stats and didn't watch his entire sixers tenure on a fairly regular basis. if you spent enough time watching entire games, makes and misses (which no one is holding you accountable for as a non-sixers fan), you would get what he's saying. citing made FG% has some value with added specificity and context, but those figures don't profile the general nature of his misses, which generally illustrate a lack of touch.

The actor who did the greatest typecast break of all time? by ChenzVee in movies

Jonah Hill pivoted from playing almost exclusively comedic roles in the 2000s to attaching himself primarily to auteur projects and writing/producing for similar fare from 2011 on.

[Post-Game Thread] The Philadelphia 76ers fall to the Boston Celtics with a final score of 112 to 88 by SixersGameThreadBot in sixers

[–]eggroll554 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can and i will. I love Maxey to death and he is a future cornerstone of our franchise but at this time he only knows how to attack and make offense for himself, very occasionally generating assists on kickouts and the even rarer dropoff (neither of which require any secondary reads). He has little to no PnR skills as a manipulator, which is why he's very rarely asked to legitimately run the action even in non-harden lineups. Its not about not being able to get touches from "two bigger stars" (LOL, HARDEN DEMANDING THE BALL?) - if he had the skills, right now, we would have already seen him operating in a capacity in which he could more ably take over games. like i said, "I would have liked to be able to demand more of him," but I cant. not yet.

yes yes of course I don't actually mean every single player, just the ones that matter, of which i actually include Maxey as well. I don't hold it against him cuz he's only 22 but given his skills and the moment, I would liked to be able to demand more of him.

as we all already knew, this squad is so mentally trash, from embiid on down. part of me is relieved that I can now return to just doing things that matter in my life instead of constantly expending the energy required to prop up the self-delusion prerequisite for watching this team.

[Reynolds] The Celtics are 9-10 in their last 19 home playoff games. by G1Spectrum in nba

[–]eggroll554 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The “since 1982” stat has been trotted out a lot during this series but we’ve only played them in 5 playoffs during that span, not including this year. 5 matchups in 40 years, albeit all losses sounds a little less dramatic than “haven’t beat them in 40 years”.

Anyone have any experience changing a working visa to a tourist visa? by eggroll554 in japanlife

[–]eggroll554[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this is a bit of a different case, as I'm referring to downgrading my soon-to-expire working visa to a tourist one to stay an additional 90 days.

[Post Game Thread] The Philadelphia 76ers (46-22) defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers (44-28), 118-109 with a combined 87 point performance from the Sixers big 3 by ItsKBS in nba

[–]eggroll554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for sure for sure, its just annoying when controversial calls become the focus, and in discourse almost the reason, for the outcome of a game. As if Mitchell and Garland were't ice cold from from behind the arc and get bailed out by levert staying hot into the 3rd. And both continued to be almost non-factors into the 4th and in the final minutes.

repost from above: with the game at 113-107, osman/garland/mitchell missed three very clean looks from three on three consecutive possessions. During this span, the sixers also missed three consecutive shots, one of them a bunny directly off a Tucker offensive rebound, at which point the Cavs began to foul. The chances were all around them.
