I was hoping for one of them to come up with "Lickety Split"

We're excited to announce Phade and Brian T. Price as Guest Panelists for Anime Boston 2026!

It looks like an account with a large follower count reposted the parent post, and a new group of people have found the thread to respond to and aren't checking timestamps first.

If this pans out, I'm very interested as well. I was reading some of the risk factors, though, and the risk of triggering an autoimmune disorder is something they're going to have to do a lot of testing to avoid. But the possibilities are tempting.

Shingles is how one of my older relatives died - they were partially immunocompromised while being treated for something else, had a horribly timed shingles outbreak, and it hit their brain.

I'm still a few years away from vax eligibility, but it's on my must-get list as soon as I am.

This is the final call for AMV contest entries! Get those anime music videos submitted before Saturday, February 21! >>

Renauds is a bitch for sure, and you have my sympathies and condolences for having to deal with it. Heated gloves have definitely helped me, and I hope you can find yours when you get a chance to look. Hopefully this current crisis passes with minimal issues for you!

IMO, Germany has the best kit, with Finland and Switzerland close behind. Slovakia, Sweden, and Denmark are all excellent, too, but France and Italy are the bottom of my list. USA and Canada are both pretty mid.

Both goalies have been great, and the team has been ridiculous on defense all tournament. 31 goals in six games, only one allowed, five shutouts. Absolute madness.

Had to look it up to be sure, but the first game with the code was Gradius for the original NES in 1986.

I've been going with trivia podcasts. Lateral, Trivial Warfare, and FourPlay are my usual rotation.

I currently have 410 tabs open on my desktop, across 29 windows (organized by topic). My phone has 34 tabs, and the laptop has 108 across 12 windows, some duplication with the desktop.

I have never opened a ChatGPT tab on any of them.

Wikipedia says the demonym is "Kalamazooian"

Sally the Witch

I've always liked Wheat Thins or dry cereal - Honey Nut Cheerios have been a regular go-to. My wife prefers unsalted pretzels or Cheez-Its.

Oh, he's villain all day long.

He's pretty easy to hate, in my opinion, especially knowing some of the later things that happen. Though there's a significant number of people that love the villain, too.

Have to take the low-hanging fruit here and say "of course they are, it's their postal abbreviation."

When I replaced my DVD box set with the BluRay set, I bought an extra, separate copy of Volume 7 specifically to keep for the hidden AMVs.

IIRC, "quid pro quo" is "something for something" as a mostly-literal translation, but "this for that" would be a workable localization in most contexts that imply an exchange between two parties. Here, though, it's one party replacing their own thing with something else, so I'm not sure it'd work.

Most will probably wait to see how the '26 World Cup and the following election go. If boycotts do happen, I wouldn't expect announcements until late '27 or early '28. Announcing too early risks losing face if nobody joins them and/or retaliation from this regime.

Every time I hear music playing in public, my brain immediately starts in with "[Person] did a [source] video to this song."

I missed that this was even out here. I'll have to look for listings for a sub showing.

*cosplay prop, curse you autocorrect.

This actually makes me wonder how hard it would be to build a Bluetooth speaker/microphone combo in that style of casing. Pair it with your regular phone and you've got a pretty decent display prop, at least.

Whelp... *knucklecrack* Let's get to work.

Miss Mess, a long-haired cat, with a dark gray mantle, cowl, and tail, and white chest, legs, and face, lying on a light gray fleece blanket on a navy blue sofa. She is looking back toward her tail with her pink tongue sticking out.

Miss Mess is a curmudgeon, but at 18 and having lost all but one tooth over the years, she's kinda earned the right to be.

For our cat, her schedule is once a month/30 days. It can vary a bit, depending on your cat's size or progression, but that's a conversation to have with your vet when the need arises.

And it doesn't have a human equivalent that I know of, but I haven't needed to research that yet, thankfully.

Our elderly floof has been on Solensia for about three years now, and it's been life-changing for her. Without it, I'm certain we'd have had to say goodbye long ago. Absolutely worth the money every time.
