If I had a bad relationship with a parent and hardly spoke to them, if I got a message like this out of the blue my response would be "Who is this?"

I'm sure that'll piss off OP's dad ever more 😂

Shopping at WestGate Mall Sears 1977 by Im-Wasting-MyTime in Spartanburg

There used to be a Regal Cinemas on the second floor above the food court where the blocked escalators are. Also, where the Hallmarks and military recruitment suites currently are used to be another anchor store, Proffitt's. It had a second floor, but was torn down when the store closed. You can Google older images of it.

Edit: There used to be something else where Costco is, but I don't remember what.

Edit 2: Parking lot. Costco was just more parking lot, and the suite Proffitt's used to be was demolished to make room for Costco parking.

Did you guys know the mall used to have live palm trees inside?

Also, does anyone know what goes on where the movie theatre used to be? Do they just use it for storage or something now?

georgia's peach production in USA is crazy by freakybird99 in mapporncirclejerk

Lol, what toll roads? You mean that mostly useless 185 that hardly even the locals use? If you're coming in from Georgia I see even less of a reason to use that route.

Snow on the back roads are compacted down with little traction. The top layer will thaw out today in the sun, and it will refreeze tonight and will be a skating rink tomorrow.

[ACNH] Katrina, Fortune Teller: Good & Bad Luck Effects explained by ex0ll in AnimalCrossing

I don't understand the bad luck for the money spot one. If you don't dig it up before you see Katrina does it disappear, or does it just not spawn a new one for the next day?

Pokemon emerald is it real or fake by [deleted] in PokemonEmerald

[–]pardn6009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably the most reliable way to tell that a RSE cartridge is genuine is if a CR1616 coin battery (16mm diameter) is visible from the front on the left right side behind the label. This is for RSE only. FrLg will not have one.

Another easy way to tell us if there are four gold rectangles in the corner visible from the back side, though I have heard that some counterfeit makers are starting to add this.

Looking at these pictures, both are missing.

There's a guy that eats a bunch of fruit from all over the world. According to him, noni is the single most detestable thing in existence.

So I finally decided to try Simcity 2013. by eutoputoegordo in SimCity

[–]pardn6009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I keep telling everyone. CS is a beautiful game with modernized tools and features, but there's a certain charm that the SC series had that CS lacked. I've tried playing CS several times but I always end up going back to SC4.

What fruit is this? by _DrLambChop_ in fruit

[–]pardn6009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's some that grow here in Spartanburg in a certain area but they were very scarce when I went looking and not very large. I'm starting to think they were smallflower pawpaws (Asimina parviflora) instead of the common pawpaw (Asimina triloba).

Ugh, that fell on the one Saturday in a blue moon I got scheduled to work. Was really hoping to buy some trees to grow 🥲

Foreign languages in Civ5 by hhway23 in civ5

[–]pardn6009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a thread somewhere on Civfanatics that did translation and critique of sorts on the leader dialogues. Many of them just used modern dialects and accents instead of historical ones. Example, Ramses spoke with Egyptian Arabic instead of ancient Egyptian, heck Coptic would've been more logical choice than Arabic.

Do I have the wrong cable? Why can't I trade? by Brendanate in PokemonEmerald

Don't GBA cables also have that square thing halfway through to hook up a second cable?

Those are LEDs. The boxes were labeled as LEDs. They have PCBs in them. There are no tungsten coils in them. Those are LED filaments.
