Seems like a fun fight.

I also thought that it was going to be your fourth guess. It took me way longer to puzzle out the solution.

I don’t want to drop any hints in my daily messages, but one word has saved me so many times recently that I fear I may have a staple in it now.

What kind of rounding has to be done to assume not using the bathroom constitutes 4 to 5 hours daily?!

Y’all seem to be on a similar wavelength today.

Neat. I did far too many lucky flips. I think I should go gamble on something based on how my luck has been going so far today.

I was more proud of my second guess than the solution.

Professionals messing with water systems are always well overcosted for the seeming scope of work. The reason being that they need to take out the pan, the walls, some tiles, inspect the floor around the area, remove and replace whatever seems like it’s been damaged, find replacement tiles that are either the same or similar… and the most important part is that they make sure that if they have to come back in 5-30 years for any leaks, they want that to be covered up front as well. You’re effectively paying for leak insurance from them for the next however many years they offer, as well as a potentially brand new bathroom built if the damage is bad enough.

You want a one day fix for a singular part of a greater (and notably damaged) area. They want to make sure they do it once, and then don’t ever hear from you again for that particular part. So there’s all of that and quotes apply Murphy’s Law for unseen issues. The whole floor may need to be replaced, every structural member under the floor might be weakened from excessive water damage and needs either replacement or support, if you have tiles on the walls, some of the walls may need replacement, if there’s an exterior wall involved there they might need to check the those structural members for damage and then possibly replace them, etc. It extends to the whole room and a bit beyond.

I’m going to guess the 16k quote was a “I don’t want to do this, so price multiplied to assure I don’t need to”. My only suggestion is to ask around among others you know if they’ve had work done and by who. There are plenty of freelancers out there who will do exactly the one part you want to do and charge (based on current info) somewhere around 1.5-3k to do just the part of the job you want done, with none of the protections from the larger companies aside from immediate leak issues. Finding a competent freelancer is the toughest part, which is why I always suggest getting one from someone else who has had a good experience (or more).

I’d be happy to buy them off of you at some point if you’d be willing to sell em.

Those are sleeves with the card backs printed on them.

I like building janky messes that sometimes still work. Mana base is usually more than half the deck price.

Given that my average deck price is $250, you best believe I’d start gathering.

Fantasy bondage is still bondage.

From the tiny thumbnail I thought the final one was Roshi. Upon zooming in, the topic would have been the same anyways.

I for one am perfectly ok with everyone being called chicks. I can’t help but imagine everyone as a fuzzy yellow baby bird, and that brings me joy. I completely get the post… but cute birds for everyone!

Log Horizon is a very enjoyable series… This picture reminds me of Phantasy Star Online (specifically Ep1&2).

It would make sense to do hair first… but I think the reason I generally do it last is because while I’m waiting on the water/body acclimation, I’m already slathering with soap and as a result, hair care is pushed to the back as a result.

Saw Seattle, didn’t think further.

There comes a point in a games release where I wonder the detriment of releasing so much dlc it towers over the base game by almost 3 times. I see a nearly $200 city sim and am completely turned away as a prospective purchaser. Though I admit I’m curious about the radio station dlcs which seem to be in-universe albums with voice over segments and an hour of music.
