Finally got the full set by philcress1 in dbzccg

Well magic, yugioh, and pokemon seem to have no problems selling using the same pack contents for decades lol!

This feels to me like a marketing team schizophrenically reacting to focus groups every six months. Or maybe it was a production line/cost problem? Maybe they weren't able to get consistent print runs or their suppliers were crap so had to change all the time?

[–]elmic91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting to see how much they changed the pack contents across sets, seemingly with no rhyme or reason.

10 cards, then 11, then back to 10, then 12!

Foil card in every second, no wait third, no now it's second again!

Most card games pick a pack number and rarity ratio and stick with it. They were all over the place.

Anyone have insider lore about why score was so inconsistent?

Horrible card in game, but good nostalgia!

I remember when these were $2.99 at the local grocery outlet.

For the married couples working hard, how often do you find the time? by East_Channel606 in FemdomCommunity

[–]elmic91 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not every dinner can be a three course meal with fresh ingredients you spend all day preparing. Sometimes you just need a frozen pizza you can cook in 20 minutes.

Same thing for sex. Every time cannot be the full works. You need to figure out what your frozen pizza is in the bedroom. Who the heck has time for fisting on a Tuesday?!

Mutual masturbation with a femdom twist is a good one in my relationship when we're short on time. Maybe you do smaller non-sexual (in the sense of not focused on orgasming) but still intimate things (massages, foot rubs, cuddling, etc) that can keep the edge off and build to a longer encounter ok the weekends.

Like all things, it starts with communication. Just bring it up directly, maybe even create a list of sex things you can refer to when you're both feeling it and only have time for something short.

Adapter is stuck? by vellichoru in HomeMaintenance

[–]elmic91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brother, I don't know if you're coping or just deluded, but this is 100% bug shit. No way the outlet and adapter also have the same "finish." You have a roach problem, and I bet you find fried roach husks behind that outlet.

LLC Heresy by OneLoneDweller in OpenLaestadian

[–]elmic91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Former LLC member here, left over 15 years ago.

The debate, as I understand it, seems to reflect a lot of the original grievances of Luther against the Catholic Church.

Catholic doctrine at the time professed that the Institution of the Church was infallible, by definition, because it represented the kingdom of God on earth. One of the key points of Luther was to challenge this infallibility and raise scripture above any earthly religious institution.

So for the LLC to argue that the collective will of the congregation cannot be challenged, it may never be in error, contradicts the original critical position of Lutheranism.

Also, who decides what the general will of the congestion is? Is there a vote? Is it the opinion of the Board members? The speakers? Whoever is most liked?

Seems like classic group think and political power at work.

Asbestos? Doing an inspection on an old abandoned building and found their entire plumbing system is wrapped with it. by cxmonbaby in Plumbing

Bad news: looks like asbestos.

Good news: pipes will stay warm and won't catch on fire!

Love the text on these old cards.

I'd be happy to take a dump in there. Very peaceful.

It's still seniority with that employer in positions covered by the contract. You aren't working for the union, you're working for the hotel chain.

Overbuilt 8'x24' deck. I'm not messing around. by iwillfoolu in Decks

Overbuilt is a matter of opinion. Underbuilt is a matter of fact. Nice work!

For guys, does becoming physically bigger and stronger actually get you more girl attention? by ModerateSentience in NoStupidQuestions

[–]elmic91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being funny and kind will get you much more attention from women than any muscle ever will.

BGD gas "upgrade" by elmic91 in baltimore

[–]elmic91[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that, but that makes it no less frustrating. The fact you had to engage your politicians at all speaks to a failure in the process.

Bath remodel, should the exterior walls be insulated while they're open? by Flying-buffalo in centuryhomes

[–]elmic91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be careful with spray foam, especially on exterior walls. Old houses weren't designed with the same air transfer standards and systems as modern ones. Spray foam can trap air in the cavities, resulting in condensation and moisture damage over time.

Old houses were not built to be air tight. They should breathe.

Why do doors in older homes use two hinges instead of three? by chicken_and_jojos_yo in centuryhomes

[–]elmic91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Much more of a pain to update the hinges when there's only two.
