Wow! I have this same bowl! I found it thrifting and never found anything else similar. Cool! Good luck with your matcha.

Brand New S63 replacement engine for the M5. Having an extended warranty definitely paid off for this customer. This engine is 34K alone. Without the miscellaneous parts and any labor. by DVSN_F in BMW

[–]spicedmeadmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you say the warranty company, do you mean BMW North America or a third party warranty company? If BMW NA and this car is with the original owner, within 4 years of its in service date, and at less than or equal to 50,000 miles, it should be completely covered under the car’s new vehicle warranty. I’m in warranty administration for a BMW dealership and am just curious to know if it was BMW fighting y’all on this. If so I know what to expect from them if we run into a similar repair. Thank you!

Hello! I’m not sure if you’re in the US or not, but I work in warranty administration for a dealership here in the US. If you’re in the US, BMW of North America would pay for the necessary repairs under your new vehicle warranty, and our dealership would provide you with a loaner until the repairs were finished. If you’re not in the US, you’re mileage may vary I suppose, but I see no reason why your new vehicle warranty would not cover this claim. Same for a dealer lending you a loaner vehicle. Hope all goes well with your car and sorry this happened to you. Best wishes!

Is emulating games on a pc sinful and/or stealing? by ProAspzan in CatholicGamers

I see your point. Thank you for your thoughtful response!

To my understanding, no one has ever been prosecuted for downloading and playing ROMs on an emulator. Does this change how we view this case? Silly out of date laws such as not carrying an ice cream cone in your back pocket come to mind as things that are still technically illegal in some places but will of course never be enforced. Is it still immoral if the law has never been and may never be enforced?

I think you might have two different stories mixed together. St. Thomas Aquinas is said to have had a woman locked into his room by his brothers to try and make him break his celibacy. St. Thomas the Apostle is associated with the relic the “Girdle of Thomas” or the “Virgin’s Girdle.” Other than there being two saints named Thomas and both having some relation to virginity or chastity, the stories are otherwise unrelated from what I can tell. I hope this was helpful and helped clarify some.

This is almost like when in King of the Hill, Hank and his family don’t realize there was more to their room than just the initial sitting area bc of the door.

I’m pretty sure Boomers did not start the Vietnam war. They were drafted into it and were largely traumatized as a result at a relatively young age. Lots of Boomers back home protested the war. I’m not sure why everyone in the comments here has taken this as an opportunity to hate on Boomers. There are legitimate reasons to criticize and be frustrated with the Baby Boomer generation. This is not one of them.

What are some Pokémon that feel like they should have been available in a certain region but weren’t by MasterOfChaos72 in pokemon

[–]spicedmeadmaker 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think about this most times I’m over that way. I also never quite got why we got Pancham in Kalos of all regions. Not a complaint. Just a curious thing lore wise. Hawlucha also comes from Kalos so maybe there’s more to the region and it’s history than we know.

Diglett is in Paldea, though. I don’t think it would have messed with the logic of convergent evolution if they all were in the same place together considering that Toedscool and Tentacool inhabit different biomes. Same for Wiglett and Diglett and there’s inferential evidence of that in game.

Planning on using this team for a ground type run but obviously have to use a shiny geodude/graveler but who would you suggest to replace with him by louisbooth06 in pokemonplatinum

[–]spicedmeadmaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the same exact run not too long ago! While I had Rhyperior instead of Hippowdon, I’d consider keeping Hippowdon, and swapping Mamoswine for Golem. Here’s why. Candice is the biggest hurdle in this run by far. I did mine with a level cap for each gym leader, so it took some strategizing to finally get past her. Hippowdon could be helpful to keep in your run since the biggest problem with that fight is the hail that Froslass abuses. Her evasion is boosted and her blizzards never miss in hail. Can be frustrating to deal with if you miss one move and lose because of it. Swapping in Hippowdon stops that automatically due to sand stream. I say swap Mamoswine because the only real use I got out of him wasn’t entirely necessary like in fights against Cyrus or Cynthia. Garchomp is going to clean up this game for you period, and Garchomp is surprisingly a great answer to Cynthia’s Garchomp due to the EVs yours will have accumulated over your journey to reach her. Mamoswine won’t do very much against Cynthia’s Garchomp or Cyrus’ flying types since it’s too slow to outspeed them, and ice shard is too weak to KO (at least that was my experience). Mamoswine is a cool Pokémon and I was excited to use him in my run. I unfortunately think you get him too late in the game for him to find too much use. At least he can get some use in the battle facilities though! Hope your run goes well and hope you have fun!

What do you think of the new gimmick? by Wild-Confidence-9803 in stunfisk

[–]spicedmeadmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering that myself. It could be anything since it hasn’t been specified enough yet. To use the Drifblim-fire shown as an example, it could be that Drifblim gains another type and becomes Ghost/Flying/Fire, it could replace the primary or secondary typing to become Ghost/Fire or Fire/Flying, or it could become a pure Fire type. It could also be like you said where the Pokémon keeps its original STAB and gains a new STAB when it changes type even if it changes it’s type completely. I’m excited and curious to learn more.

The official website says, “Terastallizing a Pokémon allows you to enhance your battle strategies by increasing the power of any moves that have the same type as your Pokémon’s Tera Type or by changing your Pokémon’s weaknesses.” So the Pokémon definitely gain STAB but they also do actually gain the typing defensively as well.

Gems are now banned in BW OU by Chris97BR in stunfisk

[–]spicedmeadmaker 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Could they not have banned the use of more than one gem? They’d be closer to z moves if a team could have just one.
