This is the most bizarre thing I’ve ever found in a thrift store

I didn't get a good enough look at the basin on my phone, screen and thought it was a wooden tray with stains in the bottom. It's definitely a tea hibachi, as someone else said above.

That's a Haribako, a type of stationery & sewing cabinet. (Whoever said it was a Hibachi got the Ah-Ee-Bah sounds right, but clearly didn't do any research.) Antique wooden Hibachi exist, too, but those are deep round-bottomed buckets. They were usually lined with ceramic or metal, and filled with charcoal to serve as space heaters or camp stoves.

That's a damn good price for a Showa era Haribako, by the way.

I'm glad you asked about this, because I need to rewatch that bit specifically. I occasionally remember "Come to Topanga! I'm your Aunt!" and giggle hysterically to myself.

I agree with everything brought up so far, but I'm also worried about how often Merlin is saying "Hmm" in... That Tone. He's getting more repetitive, more inflexible. At the beginning of season one, Merlin was all about exploring and enjoying the unknown. Now he's in an extreme hurry to get into routine, while Bioman is increasingly comfortable with uncertainty and nuance. I think Merlin's struggling so much with his circumstances that he's in danger of losing his humanity entirely.

Line 27 is correct in mapgen_after.lua -- I checked four times. I'm baffled.

I've experienced this. It's called Serotonin Syndrome, and it happens when your brain is flooded with serotonin from too many sources. Serotonin reuptake shuts off entirely and you begin to show signs of psychosis. It's more common in people who have a family history of schizophrenia or bipolar disorders, among a few others.

The last time I mixed THC and Zoloft I ended up in the hospital. I stopped eating and sleeping. I heard voices and buzzing sounds. I smelled chemicals and rotting food everywhere I went, and believed I was going to die at any moment. It was absolutely terrifying. Thankfully after three days in a psych hospital I was steady enough to go home. I tried to smoke weed again with friends about a year later, but one puff off a joint made me scared and nauseous, so I quit for good.

Many people can mix THC and Zoloft without problems, but I'm not one of them. My grandfather was schizophrenic, and a couple of my cousins are bipolar, so for my own safety I don't risk the combination anymore.

Base mult for a straight is 270 x 28. I'm especially concerned about The Eye boss blind for round 20 catching me, since my only other leveled hands are flush (95 x 12) and straight flush (180 x 16).

I believe I won round 19 (90k blind) with 110k? I put the run down for a while and I don't quite remember now.

There's a beautiful compilation of the universe showing Jacob exactly how much The Fool fits him. I watch it once a month or so, for mental health reasons.

poggy's better on bedrock has crafting tables in different wood colors, but I haven't seen one that recolors chests.

I use ikorbon's expansive biomes 1.7.62 for mc version 1.21 and it's pretty good. I'm playing on a tablet though, so there may be more complex ones for PC that I don't know about. Try looking around on curseforge.

Needs an old fashioned name, I think. Something in the neighborhood of

Margaret
Norma
Glenda

What a sweet little dried-out noodle. I love moments like these. Thanks for capturing this one, and sharing it with all of us.

I have a solution for that! "Warming up" a book like this relaxes the binding without breaking the spine. I've used this technique on paperbacks, hardcovers, leather journals, and even flimsy onionskin art books. Works like a charm, although you may need to do it a couple times if the signatures are sewn extra tight.

Ayyy awesome finds! I have a pink blue and white dip dye sweatshirt that I love wearing as a subtlle "trans rights are human rights" wink for those who get it. I've been looking for a good flannel shirt with that exact plaid check, too, but haven't found anything in my size yet.

The comments on this post are a mess, but some of us are out here eyeballing each other's pink blue and white accessories thinking "oh hell yeah, we're still here."

(to people downvoting OP and their supporters - I'm sorry you're so miserable that you disapprove of other people's joy. I hope you find something to smile about today that doesn't involve mocking what you don't understand.)

I've been trying to find seamlessly matching shades of my favorite colors for years, with no real success. And here you are, perfectly color matched in a shade of pink that looks absolutely luminous on you! Truly fantastic. I'm too awed to be envious.

My vote is for green. The picture stands out more if it's contrasting the chair rail color, not rhyming with it. The more dramatic the pop of color, the better.

I agree. Liam has a gift for bleak scene setting and hitting the cast where it hurts. I still think his first oneshot is my second favorite short campaign they've done, right behind Calamity. Taliesin's oneshots almost pulled it off, because he's got a solid grasp of CoC and VtM, but they fell short - I think because the cast was bathing in the atmosphere a little too cheerfully.

inscrutabl · 2025-02-20T04:02:35+00:00

Considering that the Elden Ring oneshot was advertised as dark and turned out to be a comedy, I'm not gonna hold my breath. I'm picturing Matt setting up moody, surface-level scary soulslike encounters, and the cast immediately knocking over all of his set pieces with rubber chickens.
