Here’s a random thought, I wish people would stop bumping their post 200x!

Bump

Who would win in a fight a ninja or a Yakuza?

Everyone has this image of Japanese ninjas that are these incredible silent, invisible, human killing machines. What if every country has ninjas, but we only know about Japanese ninjas because they are the worst and therefore the only ones we've discovered?

With that said Japanese ninja

It's a funny coincidence the guys are talking about ninjas. I specifically came in here today to talk about ninjas after my experience at an asian restaurant last night. So my wife and I are enjoying our meals when a waitress slyly removed my wife's empty soup bowl without her noticing. I thought, "hey, wouldn't it be cool if there was a ninja-themed restaurant?" Think about it - they could shimmy down poles are do a flip over a low wall, directly to your table, take your order and then disappear in a cloud of smoke. They could place some bread at your table by throwing it in the air and slicing it up, with the pieces falling directly in front off each diner. They can do that, right? Ninja movies would be playing on TV's all over the restuarant. You know, a classy dining experience.

Was that directed towards me. Just bumping every 4 days till I get rid of my last $1500 in Gift Cards.

I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't a Ninja theme restaurant in Japan. If you want food and a show there are Japanese flat top grills. I believe the risk of injury and OSHA may prevent something like that working and slicing bread like that rarely works out. Trying tossing something up and slicing it with something sharp it flies everywhere.

I say a versus battle would vary. Are we talking fictional Ninjas else wise they win easy. If your talking more real world then probably the Ninja. Yakuza rarely use or carry guns due to the legal nature of them and the Ninja would most likely have a sharp tool on them. Of course a well trained Yakuza might be able to win simply due to the evolution of hand to hand combat. So to sum it up
Yakuza with gun wins
Ninja with sharp tool will win against Yakuza without gun.
Yakuza with hand to hand combat training will probably win if going hand to hand.

But tossing something up in the air and slicing it is like Ninja 101. I don't think you can progress in your training until you have that part down.

No one specific, I frequent video game forums, sport card forums, funko pop forums and such, but I like to see new posts just not the same one always being pushed up. It gets to the point of 20 pages of “bump”. Just a peeve of mine.

You could ignore posts that you're not interested in seeing.

Why didn’t I think of that???

I remember a time at a diner when someone dropped a spoon and a ninja was there...he flipped out and killed the whole town! :D

I miss that site

Still around!

I've seen some giant reclosable cereal bags that have a sort of Ziploc system. It doesn't have the pull piece Ziploc, but it does have the Ziploc closure. Maybe cereal companies don't do it because cereal gets finished more quickly than the rate of turning stale?

Cereal packaging is just meant to get it to your house. After you open it: they don't care. If it's stale: you'll possibly buy more and you'll blame the fact that it's been opened and old.

In other words: there is no financial reason for them to spend the money for a ziplock solution.

At one time (80s or 90s), Post cereals did have recloseable bags inside their boxes of cereal. As I recall, they worked well. I don't know when or why they stopped using them.

Cost if they can make 1 cent more by not including it they will. Cutting material costs is important.

So does not being a monster and rolling the bag down.

KCPenguins wrote:
Ha. I have seen an alternative. Tall plastic reclosable containers that you pour the cereal into after you open the box.

We did that for a while. Now we just use those to store cat food though.

Ever tasted the cat food?

A character in a game I'm playing offered to sell me orange juice. I said no. He seemed disappointed. I felt bad about him being sad. So I bought the orange juice. He seemed happy at that.

I've always wondered: Whose job is it to taste pet food in order to declare it is "chicken flavor" or "beef flavor"?

$5 a scoop and I’d do that job so fast.

nonamesleft wrote:

To see if it was fresh? :) No.

And we've not gone back to using them for cereal, so I can't say if I'd test it there either. :)

This is an important conversation for literally anybody to have, no matter how comfortable you are with yourself. I salute this dude for being able to tap into what traumatized him and relay what trauma really is, on a core level, in such an easy way. Be nicer to folks, yall:

Gotta love my hometown being really damn close to a couple of earthquake epicenters.

2.4 and 3.1 quakes aren't that bad - for us - but my house might end up collapsing on top of me so uh, help

DID I MENTION HOW MUCH I HATE EARTHQUAKES

ESPECIALLY 4.1 ONES LESS THAN TEN MILES AWAY FROM ME

Woah! Hope y’all are OK.

We've been getting at least one earthquake every half hour. A 3.0 one hit less than 15 minutes ago.

I'm tired.

That’s intense.

Why does my keyboard constantly autocorrect "were" to "we're"?

Mine does that too. So annoying.

It's time to make some life changes and shift things into a different gear.

Frank wrote:
Regarding the keyboard autocorrect?
I think it's beyond help.

I've tried turning the feature off. It doesn't listen.

Turning off autocorrect is like pressing those buttons in the street at the crosswalk, thinking it'll make the light turn green. It's just to make the user think that there's any amount of control on their part.

"Turns off autocorrect"
Autocorrect feature laughs to itself, thinking "oh, I'm still here, that off button is fake"

It changes were to we're, but we'll to well? Keyboard, at least be consistent with your changes for the usage of the '

Which keyboard are you guys using? I don't really have that problem with Gboard.

Whatever comes with my Samsung Galaxy.
