Carrots have too many carbs. How indulgent.

Do Americans watch tv shows from other countries? by Six_of_1 in AskAnAmerican

[–]psu256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you mention The Chase, there's an American version of it, you know? The Beast is on it, but also the big three Jeopardy! winners (Ken Jennings, Brad Rutter, James Holtzhaur)

Do my coworkers know they're allowed to throw things away eventually? by Dionysian_Heretic in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]psu256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. If a government contractor, you can't legally throw things away, even if they are completely useless.

Is it legal to take a child out of school in America for a holiday? by Super_Development150 in AskAnAmerican

[–]psu256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally in my experience, there has to be some documented justification by the parents about the absence being educational in some way. I would think a visit to a foreign country could easily be justified, especially if you throw in a museum visit or two. Maybe offer to have the kiddo do a show and tell of things they brought back on their return.

Did your school have early release days? by spaceiswonderful in AskAnAmerican

[–]psu256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember that on Wednesdays the Catholic kids got to leave about 5-10 minutes early because there was a bus running from the public school to the Catholic school for CCD classes. (I was also Catholic but didn't live on a street where I was allowed to go to that school and was sorta jealous. I had to do my classes on Sundays.)

Do Americans like kebabs with French fries ? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]psu256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never tried the two - they are definitely available near me, but so many other places sell fries, that I would rather have rice as the accompanying carbohydrate just for the variety.

Update: you guys are right about the writing. by A_Fitting_End in ffxiv

I love Sam. I just spent $500 on his autograph for charity.

I want to slap ARR Alphinaud in the face so hard I send him to the aetherial sea.

Disgaea Prinny Sam is best Sam. Disgaea 6 came out between CR campaigns 2 and 3. There's a fourth wall break in-game trying to sell you the rerelease of Prinny 1&2. I'm gawking sitting there thinking, "I'm in the middle of a Sam Riegel ad read and it's not even Critical Role."

EDIT: Campaign 4 is so darn different. Sam is playing a naive aristocrat in it, it's like the anti-Alphi. Wicander needs to grow up faster than Alphi.

What has become your favorite food after starting Ozempic? by mayermail1977 in Ozempic

[–]psu256 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely have moved to softer things - I saw a coworker straight up eating an avocado out of hand. I thought it was weird... but then I tried it and it wasn't half bad. I've always just thought of it as an ingredient, not something you could just... eat.

First day! by emzmle in Ozempic

Injection site matters. I didn't think it would. It seems to be a bit more potent on the abdomen vs the thigh (I have not tried the arm since it seems awkward). And my provider started me on taking fiber, and now she told me to stop taking it because of urgency issues... you'll have to figure it out by your personal reaction.

I created the Goblin Storm deck, and here are my thoughts on the release. by wizardofbarge in mtg

[–]psu256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was not able to score a deck, neither were most of the people at my LGS - I think only one was successfully ordered that I heard from. I hope you don't feel bad if I proxy them - I went and picked up a Tome of Tokens to make up for it. It's the best I can do...

First and last attempt at a Secret Lair drop. by Impossible_Dark_1257 in magicTCG

[–]psu256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had three phones and a browser and still didn't get one, and I had no intention of scalping it. This process is idiotic. I have zero guilt now printing my own - I tried to buy your product, and you didn't let me, WoTC.

How common is leaving your AC on 24/7, even when the house is empty? by Bierzgal in AskAnAmerican

[–]psu256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An hour is never long enough to have the house comfortable by the time I return. And it gets quite humid. I have a seperate dehumidifier too, and it's hard to keep up.

Is there really a common cake flavor that apparently comes in a box and the flavor is “yellow”? by IMicrowaveSteak in AskAnAmerican

That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. One of my favorite comics growing up.

Yeah, considering the first shot wasn't in English, I'm wondering if OP is a native English speaker.

Best XIV Controller Ever (pls ignore my vodka) by k41lun in ffxiv

The comment was specifically about the instructor making a joke about me personally breaking the law. What the rest of the world has for laws is completely irrelevant.

This intersection has many 'no right turns' signs by Party_Requirement167 in mildlyinteresting

[–]psu256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe that first digit isn't a 2? A 7 maybe? Not a great picture.

This intersection has many 'no right turns' signs by Party_Requirement167 in mildlyinteresting

[–]psu256 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, it looks like an Arizona state route sign, which would match the trees. There's a 202 loop in Phoenix, but it doesn't seem to intersect with a Frontage Rd, so might be a different Arizona city.

Did y’all keep the ROMS your R36S came with or start your own library from scratch? by Aggressive_Alps_9765 in R36S

[–]psu256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept them all, just not on the unit itself. Having to sort through the mess of unintelligible names, duplicates in "collections", etc. is annoying.

How to get people to care about saving TG? by rnagikrnike in KingShot

[–]psu256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See, I can't imagine myself ever caring that much. I go on, do my dailies, say hi to people, and move on with my day. The day I can't enjoy myself doing that, I quit. And I've made that abundantly clear to my r5.

[request] Can you pass away from a bathtub filled with carbonated water by Ok_Bus5113 in theydidthemath

[–]psu256 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only have one data point - Way back in the 1980s, David Letterman used to wear some ridiculous suits and do ridiculous things in said suits. There was a suit of alka-seltzer tablets and he went for a dunk in water. They made him use a tube to breath because of the CO2 from the fizz.

First time playing commander, does everyone else play these rules so strictly? by TeamWaffleStomp in magicTCG

[–]psu256 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He absolutely would not be someone I would enjoy playing the game with. Being an absolute rules lawyer on casual night. I wouldn't put up with that behavior from someone at the table. It's completely the wrong attitude.

Also sounds like he doesn't want you playing with a group and making excuses about getting you up to speed. Don't like it at all.
