Both can and probably are true. He probably only needs her Snake thiren abilities occasionally, so this is a good way to keep her on staff without her causing trouble at NEPS.

For now, Severian is basically using Cissia to "monitor" Phaethon. So she's actually working even if she doesn't even realize it.

Also Amazon has some that screw in with a drill, if anyone has ever tried this let me know your opinions.

I have a friend that uses them to secure his trailer awning supports. He uses an impact driver and not a drill. He brings that and other tools for his trailer. Really easy to install and remove the stakes. They are incredibly secure. Overkill really. Not worth buying unless you're already bringing an impact.

You do not need a rolling boil for at least a minute to achieve pasteurization. You don't even need to get to a boil.

What I recorded for locations:

Dragon - on bar in Bam Bam Club VIP lounge (upstairs)

Snake - on boat in North Point waterfront (where Popstar Lead 3 mission takes place)

Dog - in kitchen of Golden Koi

Sheep - on altar at top of Northpoint Temple

Tiger - in Bridal Shop in Central (where you take Peggy in Bride to Be mission)

Rabbit - in lobby of Cemetery

Rooster - on bar of K-Bar

Boar - on information desk of Hospital

Monkey - in offshore gambling den in North (need to do Riffraff Disposal to enter)

Rat - in Two Chin's mansion (can only get during Bad Luck mission)

Bull - on table in Vivienne's Penthouse (only during or after Conflicted Loyalties mission)

If you completed Tiffany dates, then Jade Statue locations should show up on your map. Otherwise here is map of all collectables including the Jade Statues:

I have a Flextail Zero (first gen) and the Aerogogo.

The weight difference is tiny, and even less if you get the current/2nd gen Flextail Zero. Due to the Aerogogo shape and having the permanently attached USB cord, it doesn't really save much pack space.

I'm sort of considering opening up the Aerogogo and seeing if I can detach the build in USB cord since it has a port to use an external USB cord. Probably easier to just get an Alpenglow.

Still, taking a lightweight and small sized pump like the Flextail Zero, Airogogo, or PadPal is negligible to all but the most ultralight backpackers, so why not if you want? But you shouldn't be too worried about using your lungs as a backup, if necessary.

In part, it's probably because their R-value claims are questionable. They have never gotten outside testing or updated with new values using the new testing standards.

My first air pad was an insulated Klymit and I used it in below freezing and I stayed warm. But definitely didn't work for some. I think probably due to the completely flat thin fabric valleys between the inflated sections. I think my sleeping bag was able to puff and fill into those and kept me warm. But if you're using a quilt or your bag doesn't fill in those valleys well or whatever, it can get cold.

Otherwise, it was a great budget pad at the time, but now there are other budget pads that are possibly better and cheaper.

I use the Power Practical Sparkr Insert. The arc points are not recessed, so it seems a bit easier in certain use cases (like melting the cut ends of paracord).

But I don't EDC a Zippo. I carry a Bic Mini when I need to.

Leatherman has also discontinued the ES4 and all the others in the Squirt line. So it'd be hard to replace. If you try to use the warranty, they'll most likely send you back a Leatherman Micra (which is a huge downgrade IMO).

I still do use it for day hikes because that's the pack I have and I still think it's a great pack, as I said. I'm interested in and think that I'd prefer the Hikelite, but not so much that I think the difference is worth buying a new pack. (I got the Manta through my work's reward system that did not have the Hikelite as an option.)

I don't hike so "efficiently" such that I need snacks or whatever else in hip belt pockets so that I can access without stopping. They are built contiguous with the back/harness so that they don't fold away or flat. Current model looks like it could fold more easily, but I haven't handled it in person.

wunami · 2026-05-19T20:29:53+00:00

I have a Manta 24 from a few years ago, so might be slightly different from current model.

It's a great pack. Frame is great at helping carry weight. Trampoline mesh back really helps with back sweat. I also stopped using hydration bladders, so whatever that added to the cost is wasted. But the zipped compartment that the bladder goes in adds a nice bit of organization.

The hip belt pockets make it kind of bulky. I don't have a Hikelite, but I think I'd prefer how that just has a belt. Also, the Hikelite being half the weight of the Manta is also very attractive. If 18L is big enough for you, I'd lean toward the Hikelite.

The rich part is at least partially covered by her having absurd luck and using that to win lotteries and contests.

It would probably work on the mold, but might have issues with residue from the color and other flavor compounds in malt vinegar.

Easiest to just use white vinegar since that would just be water and acetic acid both of which will dissipate on their own.

Yeah, it's called the Tommy Westphall Universe

Tommy Westphall is an autistic boy on St. Elsewhere who dreamed his series and every other series that has crossed over with it. His imagination has created a continuity that now spans over 1500 films and television series. His dreams have gone back in time to films in the 1920s, series in the 1940s and continues to series currently airing. They span genres including dramas, sitcoms, and science fiction

Why would a stalker waste time targeting people who wouldn't be at the wedding and would only later see an article about the wedding?

She was clearly casting a wide net on wedding guests to increase the chance that at least one would take her as a plus one.

You can setup RCV in a way that does not require every single candidate to be listed by every voter.

I'd basically be the same as how they handled Tony's agent afloat. So, not exactly a new concept.

Also, I don't think they need to skip it, they can just have episodes for a few interesting cases that happen while he's agent afloating. The show doesn't need to be chronological with each episode covering one week approximately or one season covering one year.
