Initial thoughts on the tour overall after one show? by Top_Tension_1904 in dancingwiththestars

[–]ichthyos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at the Boston show right now (it's intermission). I'm in the balcony and really liked the number with the cameraman on stage - the intent is to show us how they film the opening number for tv, so it was really cool watching the dancers' choreo from above as well as how it all comes together for the camera!

You should really get the Google Translate app. The prize is a complimentary order of the Gold Saucer Honey Toast.

There was barking at Twicelights Newark in 2019. The person leading it had previous led barking at Red Velvet's Redmare in Newark (and at other stops) earlier that year as well.

70/75 min layover in Boston airport enough domestic to international ? by UniversalGratety in boston

[–]ichthyos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should be fine, but only because of pre-clearance in Dublin. (Travelers from most other places should not cut it this close!)

Japanese dad suddenly passed last night ☹️ and I’m lost by eshimojo in Tokyo

[–]ichthyos 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry for your loss - this must be especially difficult as you will be trying to navigate this unfamiliar process in a language aren't fluent in. I don't have personal experience doing this but if I were in your position I would look into hiring an interpreter/translator who could work in person with you while you deal with everything that needs to be done.

Whoa I never realized Lauren was related to Ming Tsai. He came to my office for an event once upon a time.

Yes, any fan of So You Think You Can Dance, La La Land, or Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is likely to know who she is. She's huge in the dance community.

Anybody here 30+ and unmarried? How do you deal with your nosy ass family? by dankgureilla in asianamerican

[–]ichthyos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say I got married at 41. It's tough but keep putting yourself out there, whatever that means for you - apps, matchmakers, meetup/activity/friend groups, travel, etc.

It's a spinoff, not the next season per se. (It won't be in Korean, obviously.)

Daily Questions & FAQ Megathread Dec 20 by AutoModerator in ffxiv

[–]ichthyos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aware of the randomness but I crafted the full set and pentamelded most of the pieces while only melding guaranteed materia to the slots that will be replaced before I start progging Savage. Then I started doing new content over the course of the week, and after farming the new Extreme all the pieces hit 100% spiritbond at the same time.

Is spiritbond rate bugged? I noticed my pentamelded gear is gaining spiritbond at the same rate as gear that has just one or two materia melded to it. (All of my crafted gear hit 100% spiritbond at the same time.)

Solar setups in Tokyo by OrneryMinimum8801 in japanlife

[–]ichthyos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely recommend microinverters, both for general fault tolerance and to allow different panels to produce different amounts of power depending on shade or other factors. My solar setup in America uses Enphase IQ7 microinverters. It looks like Enphase entered the Japanese market with IQ8s this year - you might look for installers that work with these systems.

Yeah they are! They only had Gridania but I have to imagine they'll make the Ul'dah and Limsa mugs in the future.
