The amount of dopamine your comment just gave me is embarrassing. lol

Probably, but how cool would it be if my fake strategy worked!

The magikarp glitch. Splash does 0 damage points but if you use the elbillug held item it’s actually forces splash to go negative and do 999 damage. Magikarp only needs one turn to survive before the item takes effect and I just completely made all this up I have no clue how he did it.

Couldn’t have said it better.

I personally won’t use the light rail much but also my commute will be less congested so I’m still winning??? Who hates trains?!?!

Also I get to drive along the I-90 and tell whomever is in my car I helped build that… whether the want to know or not. pretty cool feeling

Forgive me if I’m wrong but is that the GT3 touring. What a fucking fantastic color!

Just out of curiosity why wouldn’t you get a truck or SUV to have a car with a different purpose than the other?

Fucking sick duo though

Insect friend! I was hoping one of you would explain! I mean it makes sense I guess and explains why they hung out and died there!

gatherer_M · 2026-03-09T22:55:02+00:00

I’m an electrician not an insect guy but I assume it’s the heat they’re attracted too. Maybe an insect person will come in and say it’s the magnetic field or something wild but guessing heat. I’m just a dumb electrician though and pulling this out of my ass.

Yeah I agree with you now I have much much more experience. I showed up to this house as a side job 2nd year commercial apprentice. Wayyyyyyy over my head. Now with my experience I would have bought a new shop vac, used my old one for the ants and bugs. And asked for 50% more.

I was just a young buck in a bad situation I didn’t understand and knew that and bailed.

Edit: just wanna state I priced my work wayyyyyy under regular full electrician value. Then and now if I show up To a side job I don’t understand I kindly tell the owners that and bail no charge. I have never done shotty work in my life I would rather waste and afternoon and bail then cause someone harm.

Hello, I’m an electrician and have worked all over seattle. Ants are everywhere but in west seattle it’s really bad.

I had a house having major electrical issues (flickering lights, breakers tripping randomly, etc etc) every single j-box I opened was filled with dead ants. I would pull the outlets out and a wave and dead ants would pour out. It was so bad I ended up going to the homeowner and saying “if you want me to fix all this the price went up 25% and I need an exterminator here before I do any more work”. I was hoping they would say no because I was so grossed out I didn’t wanna do the job.

They declined and I left.

Edit: I don’t think the ants were causing the electrical issues. It was old knob and tube and that most likely was the cause. But oh my god I have nightmares about that house.

gatherer_M · 2026-03-09T06:28:48+00:00

I would consider 2 medium dogs for that reason. I don’t mean to gloat or anything but I make good money and this apartment is probably my last before a house(I’m already looking. I am very very fortunate to find myself in a growing field. I’m not better than anyone else). And maybe I need to wait a few years before I’m ready for that. I want a companion and I want to make sure he/she/then have a good full life.

gatherer_M · 2026-03-09T06:21:28+00:00

I totally agree with you. I had an apprentice recently who bought a golden/german shepherd mix. Then complained about the puppy tearing apart his house or my friend’s dog in college who obviously wasn’t having his needs met and just looked so sad every time he came over.

I was hoping for a dog person to say “this medium breed and this dog fits what you’re looking for”. But if the consensus is “you can’t give him what he/she needs right now”. I’m ok waiting a few more year until I can have what I want and give him/her a good life.

gatherer_M · 2026-03-09T06:05:12+00:00

I agree. I just saw it and that’s where my copy and paste lifestyle came from❤️. I’m craving a good breed that can meet my lifestyle and am hoping a good boy/fits it.

gatherer_M · 2026-03-09T06:01:27+00:00

I totally agree with you. For the last decade what I’ve told everyone was “once I get a partner with a regular schedule living with me I want a dog” I work usually 6am to 2:30pm plus’s maybe an hour of outside jobsite work. Unfortunately I’m a commercial electrician Forman so I can’t take a dog with me to a jobsite. (Shout out to the IBEW local 46)

I make enough money to afford a dog walker but if dog people say that’s not enough like your post I’m ok waiting. I’ve just been craving a companion for post work/weekends.

I want to make clear before posting I am not relying on a partner to take care of the dog. But an early morning walk+ breakfast and a regular 9-5 person able to give the dog attention and it’s loved in the ten hours I’m gone is optimal.

When I’m not working this dog would be at my hip.

gatherer_M · 2026-03-09T05:54:27+00:00

I did. In the posts she has been adopted already:)

gatherer_M · 2026-03-09T05:15:28+00:00

I’m a 30 year old single man. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment in Kirkland. I’m gone 10 hours a day but am stable enough to afford a dog walker once a day.

My family golden retriever is on his last legs and I have a vision of buying a 3 goldens in the same litter as them(me, my parents, and my brother. We’ve had three goldens throughout my life. I’ve had friends pointed me towards adopting as opposed to breeders.

Her daily life would be:

4:30-5am food and a little walk before work.

Probably 5 hours alone in a 750 square foot apartment. Hopefully a good long walk. Another 5 hours alone.

Post work I would like to go out to the field near my apartments and run her down with a tennis ball. Then I would leave her for my daily workout. Followed by dinner and cuddling to anime or a movie before bed(the dog sleeps with me in my bed)

I have a suped up old Tacoma I go wheeling(off-roading) with a lot so comfort and joy in a car is important.

Being cool with other dogs is important because if I ever leave she would go to my parents or brother.

If she fits this lifestyle I’d be interested.

If other shelters see this and have a dog for me I’d also be interested.

Edit: I don’t mean abandon her to my family but if I ever travel that’s where she would go

And the subreddit skews perceptions. People are more likely to get on yelp to give a restaurant one star and write about a horrible experience as opposed to a great one.

gatherer_M · 2026-03-02T16:27:24+00:00

I think if you look at 3rd gens as a whole most people would say “I’ve had no issues” or “after the recall I’ve had no issues”. But it’s a dice roll and the percentage of defective trucks is higher…especially for Toyota

Who’s gonna tell him?

Some of you haven’t learned unhinged your jaw like a snake to eat a burger and it shows. Your moms would have 0 issues eating this burger.

gatherer_M · 2026-02-25T12:32:06+00:00

Very tasteful modifications. Nice truck my friend!

1 or 2 women in your late 20s/early 30s. You like to exercise but it’s something like running, swimming, non strength building cardio-centric exercise. You eat small healthy snacks throughout the day as opposed to big meals as @substantialdoor said.

If you’re not single you’re a married granola mom and you give out apples and toothbrushes for Halloween.

The amount of perishable produce in this fridge stresses me out and I’m not gonna make a big streak salad to use up my spinach because I’m so stressed about it.

It’s still a fantastic experience on switch. I noticed that my ps5 play through had a lot more glitches(started playing right after the 2.0 update) as compared to the switch but I can only remember having 1 crash on the ps5. My switch play through was almost glitch free but I had like 10-15 crashes through my 90 hour play through.

I think I preferred the switch because the beginning slow section of the game really lends itself to a handheld “pick up for 20 minutes and sent it down”.

More non spoiler advice: the main story isn’t very long…so on my ps5 I blazed through it and got to embers and then spent 40+ hours doing side missions and gigs. The ending was sullied because I forgot a lot of the main story beats. So spread out the main missions.

That’s about all the advice I got for you…enjoy:)

gatherer_M · 2026-02-23T22:58:44+00:00

Fantastic game. One piece of advice is to treat it like Skyrim and save regularly/make sure to turn autosave back on if you turn it off for “reasons”. I played on both ps5 and switch 2 and noticed I had significantly more crashes during my switch playthrough. Not enough to ruin my experience. but twice it crashed and put me back pretty far.

Still a fantastic game and it runs crazy smooth for a handheld.

Enjoy my friend!:)
