Bulma, and it isn't even close. Smart, witty, and extremely wealthy. Goku is decent, but as the series has progressed they have made him dumber and dumber.

No. There are better fps games out there, that are also free. Split/Gate is a fantastic game if you have a PC. Don't know if it came out on consoles.

My boss called me when I was attending my friends funeral wondering why I wasn't at work. Trust me when I say there are asshole bosses out there, you just haven't seen any.

There really was no eclipse where I live. It was an overcast day to begin with, it got slightly dark and then went back to being bright. Such a disappointment.

I don't think you understand how powerful that actually can be. A professional boxer who can once a day add an additional pound to his punches? He'll be knocking people out he has no business knocking out.

As for my useless power... the ability to see a penny on the ground, but only if I'm 30,000 feet in the air.

Salary and vastly underpaid. I keep telling myself its a starter position as I just graduated college with a diploma in IT. But it averages to just under 20/h. I live with my parents right now, so its fine for now, I'm just using it as a way to gain experience before I apply to vastly better paying jobs next year.

When I had all 4 wisdom teeth , and a molar removed, I had f to he option to be put under, I took it, not because I am afraid of needles or pain, but because I figured it would be easier than gleaming to sit still while the dentist pried 5 teeth out of my mouth.

Meanwhile when my 4 wisdom teeth were taken out, I was only given deadening gum, not even a needle to deaden the area around where they pulled and stitched. I was I think 14 at the time and my parents were pissed. I suffer from High Blood Pressure (one of my kidneys has a defect, so its not weight related), so I was medically required to either be put under or given needles. Didn't really feel it though, just a lot of pressure.

4 in the past 3 years. A handful before that.

I thought of another downside.. but this isn't really related to Chemo, but rather surgery from having a port removed (ports make getting chemo way easier. No getting daily IVs, or having an IV in your arm for multiple days at a time). And that's cold feet. After having 3-4 surgeries, my feet are always cold as the nerves are all messed up. Even as I'm typing this, my feet are in an electric feet warmer, which is barely helping.

Already lost 30lbs, been Type 2 Diabetic already for 3 years, and the bruising all over my body will get me VERY paranoid for blood clots and widow's edema and stuff.

My life will never be the same. But I feel unstoppable right now.

God Bless ALL of YOU

If blood clots come, they come. Just make sure you pay attention to your own body, that's all.

As someone whose gone through Chemo himself, I'm extremely happy for you. Now, that said, I need to warn you about some side effects you may encounter. Tiredness is an obvious one, as is either weight gain or weight loss. I myself lost 30 lbs while going through Chemo, as is T2 Diabetes. You are also extremely susceptible to diseases so your probably going to be home for a couple months after the hospital.

If you went through Chemo (and the advice from here on will pertain), then your hair will start to grow back strange. For me it was thin and curly, and that lasted about 8 months. I was also able to grow a proper scruff beard for that brief period. It's back to normal now.

But the one that really isn't discussed is blood clots. I woke up one day and couldn't move my left leg. Turns out that going through Chemo can also hasten any blood clots you have. So if you wake up one day and feel like something is off, please get it checked immediately. I ended up in hospital for a week because of this (where I binge watched the 100 on Netflix). Ended up on blood thinners for 6 months, which they screwed up on my end as I was supposed to be on needles for only 2 months ended up 4 months on needles (4 needles a day, 2 in the morning, 2 at night), 2 months on pills.

Lastly, there are some things you need to know that can help you out greatly. Cancer survivors have a special pass for the immediate future (I still have it even though my cancer was 2 years ago) where you can be put in a special room away from other patients if you get sick and need to go to Emergency. Our bodies aren't fully healed yet, that takes a few years. Also, please please please check your status with Unemployment. Unemployment screwed me royally. I was 120 hours short when I left my work term so they wouldn't cover me, so I was out several thousand dollars, though my work term gave me a 2 grand bonus so that helped me immensely.

Your also going to be seen with a specialist for the next 10 or so years of your life. Every 3 months you'll have a check-up. For me, that includes blood being drawn and some form of CAT scan. They may also do a more thorough test called a PET Scan. This scan involves you isolating for about 30 minutes while they inject a nuclear isotope into your body which lets them see a better picture of your body.

I went through 2 stints of Cancer. Stage 1 testicular, and Stage 1 or 2 lower back. It wasn't fully explained to me, and that's something I am going to be asking about on my next visit.

Honest answer is it really depends on your room size. There isn't much point having a 60 inch tv if your in a small room. So size the tv based on the size of your room.

Trades. With unlimited knowledge of writing and even 2 of those skills I can write some best seller books/e-books and earn more than 25 million in 10 years.

I like all 3.... but I'm very particular with Apples and Oranges. I only like Clementines, and I only like McIntosh Apples.

I would have said her outfit looked more like Rinoa from FF8, then again, I haven't played the newer FF7 remakes.

It depends on who it is. If its on a dating site, then no. But I've been trying to sell a used computer for a year now for over half off, and I'll get a buyer to contact me wanting to pick it up and then doesn't text back after that? I'm not trying to date you, be a fucking adult and tell me you aren't interested anymore.

I won't be grabbing it. And maybe its the negative 3rd party press I've heard about the game, but Capcom stuck in monetization into the fast travel system?

At least you won't go into life crippling debt and get all of your worldly possessions taken from you for trying to take care of your health. The US healthcare system is only better if you're rich.

No, but that doesn't matter if your dead. I'm not joking here. People say "Oh its not so bad if I have to wait a bit". It isn't always good to wait. I've known family members who had to wait to get seen, only for their issues to go from a 3 to an 8 all because the wait times are horrendous.

Ergo, why both our countries are screwed.

Holy_Cloud105 posted...

My cousin got pushed down stairs by his wife and had a possible fracture in his skull and had to wait 3 days to get an X-Ray while he was waiting in the ER. I also needed an X-Ray for a potential surgery and had to wait 2 months to get it. So no, you can't get an X-Ray the same day everywhere in the US. I live in NYC btw. My mom has to wait an entire year to get cataract surgery.

All of that stuff you said happens here too. You just don't hear about it as often because it seems like the media wants to frame the US as this amazing bastion of healthcare while Canada and other places are hellholes.

fair enough, that I didn't know. Guess our areas all suck.

Jeff_AKA_Snoopy posted...

The biggest problem with it in Canada is the fact that every province runs it differently.

Wait times have such a wide range of differences because some provinces pay and support their health system really well, while others (like where I'm in, Saskatchwan) are run by redneck morons who don't fund health properly.

While my wife was alive she needed a geneticist. There wasn't one in Saskatchewan because they didn't want to pay the going rate for one. We had to go to Calgary to get a specialist. =/

Where I am in Newfoundland, if your in a smaller town, you have to wait for the travelling specialist. I broke my left pinky about 15 years ago, and because the specialist didn't arrive in the town I was staying in until a month later, it healed and can't be fixed anymore. The only option was fusing it with my ring finger, which I refused to do because I want to actually be able to bend my finger for work.

Jeremy517 posted...

And? The US doesn't have to copy Canada's health care system. Single-payer works very well in enough countries that the US can easily find a better country to model it after.

I'm just pointing out that people think the US system is as bad as Canadas when it comes to waiting time alone when its not even comparable outside of your remote towns, that's all.

Holy_Cloud105 posted...

You realize that's also happening here in the US too right? To see a specialist you have to wait months. When I wanted to go to a cardiologist I had to wait months for an appointment and I ended up going to the ER and telling them I thought I was having a heart attack instead to get checked.

Your name really is fucking apt.

Not to agree with the OP but its not even close to the same. I waited 16 hours with a broken foot only to not be seen here in Canada, all because our health care system can't afford to pay for a second doctor for overnights. Meanwhile my cousin can walk into any doctors office in the States with his insurance plan, and not only get seen, but get set up for an X-Ray that same day, when I could be waiting over a month. If I didn't have my own family care doctor, I'd be screwed. And by the by, family care doctors are extremely rare where I live. I was lucky when my family care doctor retired that all his patients got moved to the replacing doctor.

I've known people to be put on a waiting list for over a year for an extremely important surgery, only for it to be cancelled without their consent because the surgeon decided to take a holiday, and that's the only surgeon in the province that can perform that one surgery.

I'm not saying the States doesn't have issues, you guys most certainly do. You pay way too much for basic quality of life medicare, but at the same time, all our nurses, doctors and surgeons are moving there because the pay is vastly more than here.

Jeremy517 posted...

News flash: You have to wait for months to see a specialist in the US too.

Single-payer healthcare works well in many countries.The US pays far more for health care per capita than any other country, but doesn't receive quality of care representative of that cost.

We don't wait months. Sometimes we wait years.

Not horrible. I don't make a huge amount of money but I have spending cash. I'm forced to live with my parents due to the ridiculous fees associated with purchasing a property. I can afford a 1500 CAD rental property with money to spare each month, but a 250K home which outside of taxes/insurance costs less than 1300 CAD I can't afford? That makes no sense.

Beans easily. Keep one in hand for me, give one to my mom, and then give it to someone else who really needs it (family, friend, stranger). Will just donate 2-3 every year..Much better feeling than 500k a year.

I would choose beans over a billion dollars.

Plus there are work arounds to this whole "You can't sell, trade the beans". I learned that recently with my CPAP company. I have to buy a new CPAP machine as my insurance is running out and the machine is 4 years old now. I can grab one off Amazon for 1200, but no one in my province will service the machine. What my CPAP company did and this is very smart of them, they sell the machine for cheap, but what they really sell is a service. So I can pay 1200 for a machine no one except me can touch; or I pay 2500 for a service bundle that they will cover entirely for the rest of my life.

Ergo, While you can't make money on the beans themselves, you can technically make money on the interview to see the best candidate for the beans, or alternately a subscription service for something entirely different and the beans are a bonus for that service.

Is this even a question? Senzu Beans all day every day. Being able to instantly cure all the health problems I have in one go?

Pizza Hut. That wasn't a hard choice. My province hasn't had a Pizza Hut in at least 10 years. Yeah, we don't have Taco Bell, but I don't want to piss off the team of Demolition Man.

A good Subway is amazing (if it's clean, if the produce doesn't look like shit, if all the equipment works, and most importantly, if they have good sandwich artists) because you can get a sandwich freshly toasted exactly the way you want (if you go in). A bad Subway is bottom tier.

In the last few years, Subway has really put together a much tastier menu. And, they have an app with decent rewards.

I'd have to get rid of Dominos. The only reason people get it is because it's always the cheapest pizza option, and it shows. If it wasn't an option I wouldn't miss it at all.

Only if you use the coupons. Without the coupons Dominoes at least here is the most expensive option. A standard pizza without coupon is close to 45 bucks CAD.

Huh?

Terry Crews plays a character in either Friday, or its sequel where he just got out of prison, and he's a genuine asshole. I think there might have been a turn around for his character halfway through the movie, but its been so long since I've watched it.

Whatever his decision is, I just hope he won't have any more arcs that were as long as Wano was. Whole Cake was long enough, but Wano felt like double that and I just got bored halfway through, which is sad as I really liked the Beast Pirates far more than Moms Pirates

No judgments.

I'll start: I thought Everything Everywhere All At Once was mediocre to bad at best

Kind of agree. I much rather Jet Lis "The One". Less goofy, but still got the idea of a multiverse over. I also think one of the most under rated films was "Along Came a Spider", which starred Morgan Freeman in a detective movie that went literally everywhere. Even at the end after they found the culprit I was asking myself "Are they really the culprit? Or are they just another plot twist?".

My hot take is that the best film in the Rings/Hobbit/Potter franchises are the 1st ones. The argument can be made for Chamber of Secrets, but after that the franchise goes downhill. It makes a case for the entire thing to be animated, if only to keep the entire thing consistent.

And I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion or not, but Monty Python and the Holy Grail is one of the funniest films ever created, meanwhile the Hangover was one of the worst comedy films I've ever seen.

1 sugar twin, and a splash of cream

The company had one job.... all they had to do was hire on a bunch of disgruntled Gearbox employees who worked on the story to Borderlands 1/2, and they couldn't even do that. You know that Randy Pitchford has pissed off at least a few people in that company causing them to leave.

Full Metal Panic

I pointed out in another topic, and I don't know if it was mentioned in this one, but the latest election in Russia saw Putin win by a whopping 85%. Can't really say I'm surprised by that, as all his opposition ends up dead and people are afraid to stand up against him.

Fellow Canadian here. I used to buy NES, SNES and Genesis games for $99CAD. I also still have a Sears Christmas catalog that says "Get the New Sega Saturn! Only $599.99!"

Even without counting inflation, prices are cheaper than when I was young.

We also used to have rental stores.... meaning that you could rent 2 games out at once for 10 bucks. Back in the 90s I only ever owned Mario 1 and a copy of Karate Champ. Everything else was rented.

The prices of games are mostly pretty fair. You're getting at least 50 hours at least for the majority of games these days via a lengthy single or unlockable side content.
That number doubles if you replay the game multiple times.

Compared to going out. Go out for drinks these days and you'll spend hundreds of dollars getting smasher at a bar that lasts for about 6 hours of fun time.

Gaming is honestly very cheap. Especially if you just wait for sales and.

In America its cheap. Not in Canada. If your waiting for sales sure, that's pretty much the only time I can get games. But even then its still really bad. I just bought Ys 9 for 45% off. It cost me 50 CAD after tax. And that's just an example of the bs that goes on with our dollar. There's a big reason people are moving away from here to other countries.
