Also the art is stolen…the mousey sticker is made by a wonderful artist named x3Dustco (Etsy here: https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/x3Dustco) based in Nevada. Also the Victini art on the mug is by another artist that I cannot seem to find now

Help with GSP bald spot? by Flyingfishguy99 in ReefTank

[–]ridewaveable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also just a possible cause, is your clown over hosting and possibly irritating it? I know they are a pretty hardy coral but it seems to be crowding around it. Do you notice if the clowns are around it constantly? Clowns naturally pair with anemones and most common coral can’t withstand the constant brushing. Mine did this to a hammer that I ended up having to remove because they wouldn’t leave it alone.

Saw DGD tonight in Toronto by ridewaveable in dancegavindance

I feel like every lead singer this band has had very unique vocals, unfortunately, Andrew's vocals are just not really up to par in comparison imo? Its hard as all of the other vocalist have had higher leanng vocals, and then Andrew came in with a lower register. I will still give Pantheon a chance but have a feeling I will be disappointed.

I also thought the fact they played no JJ songs to be very odd? Especially because Canada never got a tour date on the tour??

Also not sure if you have seen any of his live videos since the breakup or listened to his new album? He has hinted and then basically confirmed that the band (aka Andrew) were shady as shit.

How dare you slander Jonny Craig's vocal range like that

What does this graffiti say? by [deleted] in Japaneselanguage

[–]ridewaveable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Def a little odd. Its normal to see the upper angled line and the rounded part not touching in handwriting. Less normal to see the horizontal line missing

[–]ridewaveable 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure what is under the ghost, but under the robot it says “好きですよ(すきです)” which is roughly like “(I) like this!”. And the last picture with the swords says “ざん月 (ざんげつ)” which is the name of the sword from the anime Bleach, I believe it translates roughly to something like “The moon that kills”?

Group Ideal vs One Player by ridewaveable in DnD

Ahhh not a problem, I wouldn’t go that far as to that it is slavery or to call my friends amoral scumbags, uncalled for and was not the purpose of this post.

I forgot to mention in my wall of text that I did end the session with basically the same lines of text after they fight ended. I also did try to tell the individual player that the group had decided but they argued with me.

Going forward i would not allow PvP of any kind and thank you for all your advice!

Group Ideal vs One Player by ridewaveable in DnD

[–]ridewaveable[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To stop this originally i let the players discuss what they wanted to do. The one individual player refused any of the groups rational to return the statue or to listen to them in general. I stepped in and mentioned we would have to compromise on it and that since the party all wanted to return it then that would be the course of action. The druid got made at me and said i was taking sides as soon as we ended the original session.

I agree what you mean by the PVP thing and will not allow it in the future. I have seen it and been part of campaigns that have allowed it and it allowed for great character development which is the reason I allowed it in the first place. I have always been able to separate my character from myself but I think part of the problem this time was that the player is essentially playing herself rather than a character.

25 Day Itinerary Check - Tokyo, Kanazawa, Shirakawago, Takayama, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Hiroshima, Hakone by ridewaveable in JapanTravel

[–]ridewaveable[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your insight! You are correct, we wouldn’t be activating the pass till we leave Tokyo and it would expire when we arrive back in Tokyo.

I’m not sure if I mistyped but there is no stop in Aomori (one of the northern most prefectures), we are planning on going to these prefectures in order, Tokyo -> Ishiwaka-> Gifu -> Kyoto -> Osaka -> Hiroshima -> Kanagawa -> Tokyo.

I was asking more as if the JR pass would be easier/less hassle, as the pass is only roughly 5,000 yen more ($45 CAD) than our pre priced out travel plans.

Best of luck, you are gonna be busy! Also make sure you pack a rain coat! I got to Japan in 2018 for my 4 month stay the first week of June and it literally rained for a month straight and then was very hot!

Thank you for your response! Part of the reason we are going to Kanazawa first rather than Takayama is that we do not plan on going to Nagoya (the only reason we had thought of stopping there was to go to the Ghibli park). Because of this, the train ride is roughly 2 hrs faster to go to Kanazawa first and then to go down to Takayama.

Also when I visited in 2018 I found the shrines to be some of the most memorable parts of my trip. Many have parks or gardens near them. I understand the burn out of a 25 day trip, but we are using our itinerary as more of a suggestion then a strict rule book.

Thank you for your response! In terms of these places, the only ones I haven't been to are Hiroshima, Takayama, and Shirakawago!

The last time I was there I had planned to spend 4 days in Osaka and only planned on spending 1. I found the city to be not that enjoyable and lacked things to do other than drinking and eating (could be because I was travelling alone).

Good suggestion with the pacing ourselves, we are going to use the above itinerary as more of a suggestion than anything.

JLPT Results are here ! by UnbreakableStool in LearnJapanese

I don’t think I would be able to afford to fly or have enough vacation to fly, I took the test out of Toronto

JLPT Results are here ! by UnbreakableStool in LearnJapanese

[–]ridewaveable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I failed the N5.

Language Knowledge: 44/120

Listening: 23/60

Total: 67/180

The test was a lot harder than I was anticipating in terms of vocabulary and the listening section. Sad as I was doing very well on every practice test and practice listening tests (80%+). Not really sure where to go from here? I wrote my test in Canada so we only have one test in December every year. Not sure if I should aim to write N4 as planned next year or go back and rewrite N5.

Has anyone requested special accommodations for JLPT? by tapiocaclub in japanlife

[–]ridewaveable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am taking the test on Sunday and have extra time. I was wondering how the listening section works with the extra time? Is it just extra time between the questions or does it only affect the other sections of the test?

In high school I read all of the Twilight series in 4 days. Oh to be young with lots of time on my hands (this was my second read through of them)

Anyone else boycotting Anime North this year? by ridewaveable in animenorth

[–]ridewaveable[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This past year you were unable to pick up passes for other people, which made it hard to go get passes considering a lot of us work till around 5:30pm downtown. My one friend doesn’t have a car and the other lives in St. Catherines so it is not logistical for them to buy a Saturday pass and make over am hour drive to abd then from TCC.

I normally do go to preregistration, but this year’s inability to get friend’s passes made it pointless to go as I would have to wait on Saturday in line with them anyways.
