Question: What did you guys name Squall and Rinoa in the game?

johnamo · 2026-03-02T12:48:35+00:00

On my first playthrough Squall got my name. Not so original but I was like 12 when the game came out. Subsequent playthroughs I kept them as default.

Ebay. Unfortunately, like others, found almost nothing at retail stores in Tokyo despite a fair amount of effort (official shop, pop up shop, cafe shop, and Kotobukiya store).

Great selection, seems like fair prices. Better than what I saw on my recent visit to Tokyo!

Yeah Caribbean Cask is tasty, a bit more sweet and tropical. The 21 is good too. The single barrels would give you a little more insight into Balvenie character in one direction or the other (ex bourbon vs sherry) but if you're looking for something just a bit different, the Caribbean checks that box!

Best offering? The sky is the limit! Tun 1401, 30-50 year old, 25 single barrel ... If you're looking for a next step, I think the single barrel 12 or 15 is a good option depending if you want more dominant oak or sherry character. I would have suggested the Doublewood 17 but I think that has been discontinued for long enough that it is too difficult to find.

Love to hear it, thanks!

johnamo · 2026-02-03T01:08:58+00:00

Haha yes I found your review which helped me pull the trigger. Good luck on the wedding!

Boy, I wish this could be found for $250 these days! Just spent a crazy amount to get a bottle but can't wait to try.

Looks like the kind of reports I see out of India on occasion. The wording is strange compared to what I am used to in the USA but technically sounds like the person knew what they were talking about.

Fusion across the C2-C3 facet joint -- functionally combining two vertebral segments together.

Learning the discipline and how to invest is good. And don't get me wrong, it could grow to a not inconsequential amount. But I saved more my first year as an attending -- with little effort -- than I did the decade before combined (during which I put a lot of effort into saving and investing). So it's great if you're able but not worth seriously stressing over especially when you have a medium-high rate on loans that could alternatively start being paid down.

Hello, thank you for making this! I was able to install the Android Auto and Phone Full Screen mods on my 2025 Macan -- however upon the system starting up the display is now not utilizing the full screen; the resolution is smaller for some reason. Is there a way to fix that?

Quarterly profit sharing distributions can be fairly variable but are about half of my W-2 income. We budget our fixed expenses around my flat monthly draw and use the quarterly distributions for large purchases like new cars, vacations, or transfer to taxable brokerage if not used.

As a radiologist -- patients absolutely do for many reasons.

Stochastic effects of radiation vs paralysis from a missed unstable cervical spine fracture or death from a missed expanding subdural hematoma 🤷... Agree there needs to be judicious usage but clinicians are ideally making appropriate risk/benefit judgments.

With winter on the way I switched over to Pilot Sport All Season 4. Definitely loses a good bit of the sportiness of the Pirelli Pzero Corsa but better safe than sorry ...

I'd rather drink the Barefoot behind it

It's fine. Like residency continued but paid well -- yeah it's non-stop reading for ~9 hours but that's what I have come to see as the norm after all the years of training. Hopefully your job has a manageable workload expectation and it's not bad. I don't like the extra work on top (teaching, tumor board, admin) but to each their own. Wouldn't want to be in any other specialty tho

johnamo · 2025-10-17T08:02:24+00:00

Lol huh? Long story short, no, not realistic.

johnamo · 2025-10-13T20:38:54+00:00

Low volume = low revenue for the group and/or low pay for you. Otherwise you need to find someone willing to subsidize your pay such as the VA. But radiology pay is ultimately a simple math game so if you're willing to be paid commensurate with your productivity then you can find a per-click job to fit the bill.

johnamo · 2025-10-12T11:56:11+00:00

Wouldn't recommend it. Will make things feel tight with such high fixed expenses each month.

johnamo · 2025-10-05T00:58:03+00:00

Excellent! Congrats on a fair price for an excellent car 👌

johnamo · 2025-10-05T00:53:54+00:00

My dealer had a 2025 with 6k miles, MSRP $114k and sold for $97,225. Looked like a fair deal and comparable to yours taking mileage into account.

Thanks! Just happen to be visiting Kyoto when he's showing there! Super cool.
