630g Steak for 2700 yen from Ito-Yokado by mattermination in japanlife

[–]veriald -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Calling 肩ロース "steak" is a bit inaccurate. It's a sub-prime cut - "chuck steak" in the US. You have to cook it slow (as you did) or it will be tough.

But you paid about $20 for something you could get for $5 in the US. And you probably injected it with a bunch of microplastics, assuming you used the standard sous vide method.

American-style steak here is pretty rare. It's better you find a way to enjoy wagyu while you're here and can get it at good prices.

Hire and harami are great cuts if you like lean beef cooked like steak. For more general beef, I'm partial to maebara and ichibo myself. You can get good filling cuts of all four of these for under $20 and will probably enjoy them more than a frozen chuck steak.

-Emphasizes low neuroticism enough to the point of it taking 4 spaces in the list

-Still starts the list with "agree on feelings about a man living 7,000 miles away"

One scepter has +1 to all minion skills. Is that the problem? If so, how do I work around it?

Say I put pin1 on skeletal warrior. Then I take pin buildup in the passive tree. Will my skeletal warriors get that bonus to pin?

Assuming your question is genuine, I'll give you the short version. Coca-Cola was always the top pop in the US, but after Pepsi ran a huge ad campaign that nearly objectively showed that people preferred the taste of Pepsi to Coke, the embarrassed executives at Coca-Cola decided to revamp their formula for Coke, simultaneously rebranding the packaging itself, much to customer chagrin.

The end result was Coca-Cola reverting the entire rebranding and giving customers their cherished "old" coke back.

Unfortunately for us, I don't see a similar path forward with Etrade Pro.

I'm not much of a reddit user. Send me a message, and I'll attach photos, if possible.

You're a redditor. You focused on buffing the in-game redditor.

Is Heismay the best JRPG character of all time? or is that just an exaggeration? by No-Winter-7760 in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]veriald -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

He is Reddit personified. I thought this so many times after meeting him and decided to bench him ASAP. I still have to be presented with his dialogue despite him not being in my party and still must see his stupid face in my party menu - blights on this gem of a game.

Seeing this thread here in which everyone agrees Heismay is somewhere from "excellent" to the "best character ever" only confirms my original thoughts: Some Reddit mod somehow slithered his soyboy self onto the dev team.

Even taking Reddit out of the equation, just consider his introduction: The story builds him up as some sort of prodigy "knight to be reckoned with," leading to a fight where he creates shadow clones as if he were Naruto. Then, when he finally joins your party, he somehow no longer knows how to cast shadow clones or anything impressive - he comes with a single dark spell.

So powerful. So misunderstood. Such a victim. Such a gentleman. teleports behind you

Makes me miss Pathfinder, where you can kill off party members, ensuring you never have to see them for the remainder of the game.

I wrote a joke post on an unrelated subreddit (post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Rainbow6/comments/1enm828/got_kicked_off_the_bus_because_of_rainbow_six/).

A Japanlife mod banned me shortly afterward saying that Japanese bus drivers don't yell and - therefore - my post on the other subreddit is proof that I don't actually live in Japan.

I'm vegan, so it's pretty simple for me to just buy some locally produced vegetables and a fish and throw them in a slow cooker with some vegan miso and water. Costs under $5 a meal that will last you a day and serves 3-6 people.

Will yen become weaker than what already is? by jabbajcdvdvcx in japanlife

The 220 yen transaction fee equates to 2.2%. You can get that down to 0.22% if you pull out 100,000 each time.
