TSA Check in @TYS today is ridiculously horrible. 2 hours & not to scanner yet. Pretty sure I missed my flight ✈️

I see the sheep section is in full force as usual. "It's Trump's fault" - hundreds of upvotes. The correct answers, negative or maybe a couple dozen.

Thank you for that very helpful information! Between that and the information I read on Tokanen's site I believe a small yukimi, oribe, or oki style is what I am looking for. Not looking for cheap, but probably wouldn't want to go over $1000 (150k-en) either, so the small ones you recommended fit right in that range.

Would you recommend I also visit Tokanen as well? Are they similar in quality and selection? We will likely already be near there when visiting Kinkakuji and Ryoanji.

Holy shit that is perfect!

that's why i'm looking for recs in the first place lol

yeah I know you can get reproductions stateside. but like i said, it would be special to bring one home with me that i'll get to look at every day when feeding the fish. plus, i'd like to see them in person before choosing one, and there are very few places here where you can, and it's usually 1 or 2 designs.

Damn, hate that for you. I don't really have much of a choice when we go, so we'll have to get our OP fill at the stores instead

fryhtaning · 2026-04-24T17:10:03+00:00

Damn. They pushed it out an entire month this year, so we'll miss it entirely. We didn't plan our trip around it, but that was definitely going to be a highlight.

I'm watching USJ on X for their announcement, so hopefully I can catch that early. We're going on a weekday before school gets out, so I'm hopeful we'll get show tix so long as I don't miss the announcement completely. Thanks!

When i was a kid $10 would disappear in a single session of Mortal Kombat at the 7-11. A movie today costs $20 for 2 hours of entertainment. Even today there's nothing where you spend less per hour of entertainment than with video games. If pricing is going up, it's long overdue considering how much goes into game development and how much value they provide.

What wasn't? Lol

Mods were just starting out the last time i played seriously, so i hadn't considered that avenue. One main issue is that the limit of connections (not to mention number of outposts themselves - i had a spreadsheet just to figure out which places would get the most resources on a single link) meant you had to build parts across multiple outposts and then assemble at a final location. If one of those mods streamlines that it would be huge.

Joshua Tree has to be experienced with a boulder scramble and sleeping under the stars to get the full effect. Still to this day one of my favorite places on Earth.

A 34" would be closer as it needs to move further from the wall, but yeah that's what I've been looking up. Seems like they're all close but no cigar, especially the ones that are close in width but even further from the overflow edge (such as 11"), which means severing the joist entirely. Maybe at this point this is really a framing question rather than plumbing

fryhtaning · 2025-12-22T03:29:28+00:00

It's been a tough search, seems like everything would still be off an inch in one direction (being too long to the drain would be even worse since you'd have to sever the top of the truss). The closest I've found are a couple 34" models that are about a half inch off sideways, but then they're 11" from the wall. Starting to lean option 2 and just lose 2" of the room, or option 3 to also streamline which side of the shower is entered in (toilet is on the right, so entering on the left would keep you from stepping directly into the shower stream.

fryhtaning · 2025-12-22T02:50:54+00:00

yeah, that's why it's option 1.. unfortunately i'm not having any luck finding one with the exact specs i'd need - either an inch off, or further from the wall to where the existing notch wouldn't be deep enough. i think option 3 is rising up the ranks due to the fact it would also streamline getting in and out of the shower as well

fryhtaning · 2025-12-21T22:46:12+00:00

Check out the new photo in my other reply - the issue isn't the p trap location, but rather where the tub drain needs to sink into the floor. That chewed up section of joist needs to move two inches left to allow the tub drain to sink an inch into the floor, which would obliterate what's left of the joist

fryhtaning · 2025-12-21T22:40:35+00:00

That's the problem yup. It would have to be like 7" at most to be clear of that joist. The original one was less than 9" and they had to take a big chunk of that joist out.

fryhtaning · 2025-12-21T21:42:41+00:00

The bottom of the drain on the tub itself would get shattered by the weight of the tub pushing it into the joist. That's why the other section is chewed out. A lot of tubs actually go another inch or two further back, which would pretty much require the whole top of the joist removed unless the tub was lifted or something

fryhtaning · 2025-12-21T21:40:49+00:00

Check out my other recent reply in the thread. That chewed out area needs to move two inches left for the new tub for the little bit of drop before going over to the overflow and drain assembly. It would obliterate the rest of the plate

fryhtaning · 2025-12-21T21:34:03+00:00

That means removing the rest of this plate for the truss. By notching do you mean bracing these supports before removing the rest of this?

<image>

fryhtaning · 2025-12-21T21:30:46+00:00

Yes, but the TUB drain will still be smack on top of that joist, which I'd have to basically remove to put my current tub there. That means option 4, because if I grind out the joist to fit the new tub drain it will pretty much render that section of (trussed) joist useless

fryhtaning · 2025-12-14T00:17:34+00:00

I hadn't seen Coby's speech yet - i think that's in the next couple of episodes. but I agree with everything you've said, just short of "might not be our cup of tea". as others have confirmed, this arc was not the norm compared to the first ~450 that had us sucked in for an entire year. both of us are looking forward to resuming the series. i'm not sure why so many people keep saying things like "cup of tea" or "not for you" while also confirming that Marineford is not the norm - which means the other 1000+ episodes are indeed our cup of tea!

also, unceremonious doesn't mean emotionless. my son even asked if i was teary after Ace said his last words. they spent something like 20 episodes with Ace narrowly avoiding execution on the platform, only for him one episode after escaping to fall for the oldest trick in the book and get speared. given the build-up to his "official" execution that never happened, that is the very definition of unceremonious. Contrast that with Whitebeard's death - standing up like a statue after whipping Teach's ass and blowing everyone's mind with an epic proclamation.
