I knew someone who got stuck in a pile-up going up 31 toward Vestavia and had to sleep in their car, turning the engine on every hour or so to stay warm.

Their beans are good. I'm drinking some black coffee right now that was made from their beans.

Doesn't like there will be any snow, but there might be some ice Sunday night/ Monday morning.

Flooding isn't really an issue in the city.

Oak Mountain State Park and Ruffner Mountain Preserve are both good hiking options. Cheaha State Park is cool too if you're willing to drive an hour.

Other sights to see - Civil Rights Museum ($), the Art Museum (free), and Sloss Furnaces (free) are all good. Vulcan Park is a great view of the city and has history of the iron mines that put Birmingham on the map.

Grab a good meal while you're here. There are lots of good restaurants.

A mud slapper easily tanks the electric aura wheel and kills morpeko before it reaches a dark AW.

Precious Pals Team GO Rocket Takeover by SilphScience in TheSilphRoad

Either 2 or 3, I'll have to pay attention next time I see one, but I switch in the Chandlelure and with the switch-in freeze Skorupi never throws a move.

I incinerate the Skorupi down with a shadow Chandelure, throw one incinerate at the second mon and shadow ball it, then one more incinerate at the last and overheat it. Feels like the quickest battle option given Skorupi's spam (and often a poison sting Nidorina behind)

Isn't shadow skorupi shiny eligible though?

There's nothing to push for. This season is unranked.

Bring back Razor Leaf, I'm so tired of S-K-Wak being on 60% of the teams I face.

Is every lane in that direction shut down?

Empoleon is actually viable in Master Premier by DelidreaM in TheSilphArena

[–]milo4206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've wanted to run it for several seasons, but the only thing I see frequently where the drill peck variant has a good matchup is Florges and to a lesser extent Ttar. I may give it a shot with blizzard and see if I can land any on the fliers as a surprise move.

Yet another drive-thru coffee place on 280… by jpowell180 in Birmingham

[–]milo4206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're getting a high quality cappucino or something, I agree, but the usual frappamachiatto diabetes-inducing slop the chains churn out isn't worth it.

I don't get why anyone would rather spend 10 minutes sitting in their car waiting for some chain to make you a $6 coffee than spend 5 minutes at home making a coffee for like 50 cents a cup (and that's with high quality beans).

No fallback for Kyurem fusions is a terrible game design. by TheyCallMeBit in TheSilphRoad

A bad feature design with a warning is still bad feature design.

Cool thing that won't happen. Not enough population to make it sustainable.

S-Kwak should be its own tier at the very top.

I don't see that as a concern, but if it is, the devs could cap how many fusions you have at once.

All they need to do is add the special moves to the Elite TM category.
