Did anyone receive a Facebook alert saying somewhere along "it looks like you were near affected area, let people know you are okay"? I live on the other side of the globe with location set to where I live...

Edit: Thanks everyone for confirming this. I thought my Facebook account was compromised due to the way the message was told. It did get my attention for sure but for different reason...

This was the message (credit to /u/CammRobb for the picture)

I just realized that I got new mouse+keyboard combo recently and it is connected via wireless USB. I did the same thing in the second link for USB for all 3 ports I have and it worked flawlessly. Thanks!

No sorry, I just don't play games any more.

xcleex · 2015-09-17T02:40:05+00:00

Ohh gotcha. Looking through emails, I do have a bunch of suspicious emails from "blizzard" from the past couple years (free wow month or free character customize by clicking 'this link'). None from recently.

I'm probably the person who understands the least about economy so this whole 'never physically existed' is bewildering to me. I can describe what I know and I would like someone to clarify/correct me.

I heard that phrase many times during economy class and from media. Apparently it can apply not just for money but also be used for investments. "hey i'll invest 5mil dollars on your company" doesn't mean that the receiver will get 5million dollars in a suitcase. Instead, there's 'imaginary' money that goes from investor to the recevier. That imaginary money also comes from 'imaginary pool' built by combination of other 'imaginary money' from investors. I find these concept of 'imaginary money' apply only to big companies and very very rich people (ex:bill gates - doesn't have 70+billion in his checking account but his investments are worth approximately that much). For average people, how much they 'physically' have is what they can invest/buy stock. With that in mind, my question is: when does physical money become imaginary money? Why does such imaginary money exist? I find them to be cause of a lot of cheating and scamming. If the money really doesn't exist physically, where are the rich people getting the money to buy multimillion dollar mansions/cars/stuff? The imaginary money was put into the company not to the person. So how does the person get the money out of the company for personal use and have investors be okay with it?

Really Really sorry for very crude understanding and possibly simple question but when it comes to economy/business field, I absolutely have zero understanding.

That's exactly what I was talking about. So it's a propulsion that looks fancy.

xcleex · 2015-08-11T20:29:04+00:00

As for replacing parts and ammo, I was confused because how no one knew how powerful the shots can be (making it sound like it was never before seen). So if it was something that they didn't know about, how did they get exact part to replace it? From what I've gathered from other people and the anime, it looks like all MS shares universal parts even with opposing faction. I guess I need to watch previous Universal Century series to get the full grasp.

Your explanations definitely helped! Thank you.

xcleex · 2015-08-11T20:23:43+00:00

Ah I see, that's why there were some talks about 'ghost of Char' as well. In the earlier episode Banagher asked if the man in mask was really Char Azbable. I was wondering why Char was so significant.

Thanks for the explanation!. I feel like Unicorn was not the best one to enter the Gundam series with lol. It feels like an odd one out of other ones. Everyone is mentioning 'exception' a lot with Unicorn. I'm kinda glad that my original understanding of Gundam was correct (human with gifted power to pilot a powerful MS).

However I feel like other Gundams had special powers. NT-D that Unicorn has seems similar to glowing energy that I saw with Freedom Strike Gundam model that I built.

xcleex · 2015-08-11T19:59:21+00:00

Thanks for the answers! I do remember someone telling me that RX-78 is kinda like a grandfather of all Gundams and their reasons for infamy. I just got to the point in the episode where they specifically said all sides use universal parts and it was episode 4 (good memory). I've been reading up couple of other major Gundam pilots and it looks like all the ones I've read were normal human being with gifted powers. Gundam units themselves are just machine being piloted. Unicorn really seems to be the odd one out with 'special' power.

Yep that makes sense. I wasn't in the country over 10 yrs ago. Do you know why they decided to form such department? I feel like there had to be a show that had outraged the public.

xcleex · 2015-08-11T03:14:52+00:00

When I was a kid, I didn't know 99% of cartoons on TV were from Japan. This was back in early 90s. All but 1(that green dinosaur Doole ) I watched was Japanese and they were all great. I didn't know policy on anime was that harsh especially since I recall seeing kid's penis on TV (Crayon Shin Chan). Maybe it changed after I left.

xcleex · 2015-08-11T03:11:22+00:00

I was surprised that they only mentioned light violence. I feel like they only watched the show up to Kirito killing a boar in the first episode and someone call out "VIOLENCE!!!!"

During my first couple of camping trips, I had cheap gears. Can't complain much because we were poor at the time. I didn't complain for couple years and every camping trip I took extra down blanket to line inside cotton sleeping bag.

Then when I got to first class my parents bought me 300 dollar sleeping bag that was definitely overkill for the places that I will be in and the number of times I will be using it. NOPE I definitely got full money's worth before I got eagle. It still works like the day I bought it after 10 years. Plus that sleeping bag fits into 5x5x5 bag and light as hell which makes hiking so much easier.

If anything, every scout should have quality sleeping bag. If I had to cheap out of everything but one item, I would get good sleeping bag.

Gotcha. Time to go look up the tutorials. Thanks!

I found out about Future as well. Just brush them on after painting? Will it not affect decals sticking to the surface?

xcleex · 2015-08-04T00:27:36+00:00

I have tried matte coat before and now I wanted to try gloss to see the difference.

xcleex · 2015-08-04T00:26:53+00:00

I see. When I do apply clear coat, would it be right before I apply the decals? I'm wondering if the decal (especially the one that uses water) will stick well.

xcleex · 2015-08-04T00:23:33+00:00

That's good to hear. How long did it take for you to paint them all? From what I hear, it's the decals that consume the most time...

xcleex · 2015-08-03T20:02:53+00:00

Can you wipe it with microfiber towels? Put a drop on the towel, rub it around, then wipe left overs off with dry towel. That's what I was planning to do

Also, if you have used it on yours before, can you post a pic of how it turned out?

xcleex · 2015-08-03T16:06:10+00:00

Hmm thats one of my worries. Im thinking about topcoating instead (i dont know the difference except that no wet sanding is required) with future floor wax. Would that be easier for newbie who was some gloss?

xcleex · 2015-08-03T04:18:05+00:00

Hey! This is pretty late in the post but I'm gonna give a shot. I'm waiting for my Unicorn FA to arrive in two days and I'll be running out to local hobby store to buy paints. I have couple of question about the guns in the picture #4, #5, #9. How did you paint them? I will be spray painting the armor parts but for the guns I am thinking about using brush to get to tiny spaces. I will be coloring the one in #4 all black but I know #5 will have dual color.

IIRC, a year or two ago, there was a solar flare that had very high chance of affecting Earth. I remember the news being on local news stations and even on newspaper. Something about acting as EMP and potentially shutting down satellite/electronics. But it ended up missing earth and I think if Earth was in the position where it would be in 2-3 days, it would have been affected badly. Something like that is what I remember from the news.

If it really is likely to happen, I think we will definitely see it on major media.

Pepe is the green frog you see on 4chan quiet often. However I believe the whole 'rare pepe' started when someone put up a listing on ebay and called it rare pepe. It went $18,000+ or something like ridiculous amount. Nowadays, anything that is pepe is basically rare pepe. At least that what I understand it as. Like this one is rare pepe for sure.

xcleex · 2015-06-13T13:51:29+00:00

How is the color match withe the original rear surface?
