I'd recommend Monogatari. All the arcs in it are seriously great! Top-notch in anime quality, if ya ask me.

Screw "Fury", Hollywood can keep its silly "Murica F*** Yeah" WW2 epics, what the world needs is more schoolgirls with tanks!

 

 

I can feel some of my brain cells dying already...

^ Young girls (and men too) who fight with an Empire (Valkyria Chronicles) WW2 style: Cool

Schoolgirls with tanks: lolno

WW2 epics: Varies from not bad to Great

Monogatari I just know I'll love. Loved Bakemonogatari and Nisemonogatari aswell.. probably thanks to it being "special"

I'll see if I can find a shorter show before but if not it's going to be Monogatari, it's been a long time coming now!

 

A short show would.. maybe let me watch "you know what" a bit more 

 

@bro

 

Geth-sama is evil.. what can I possibly have done for having to suffer like this..

Yes, that scenario is like the largest reason why the second season is better imo! How it all comes together in the end is really quite impressive!

[Paragon Gabriel]

Spice and Wolf had indeed great arcs, but a lot of the economic sides flew right through my head, lol

Funny since you can learn far more from shows like GuP then many other animes. It uses real tanks and gives a whole ton of information about those tanks, and the strategies that were used in warfare with those tanks.

I like to make money. When I was younger I'd miss school and work on a regular bases. Right now I think about the amount I'd lose in a day and most of the time it just doesn't feel worth it. The other thing is I get a mandatory 12 days off at the end of the year, so there is some light at the end of that tunnel.

Anything in particular that left you wondering? Would be happy to explain the economical aspects and workings, since they can be a bit tricky to grasp. We can exchange through PMs.

Congrats on your promotion! It is always joyous occasion to see your hard work get rewarded. And have to agree on liking to make money. B/c the key to life is not to love anybody.

 

Except that sweet sweet gold. And to ultimately build a whole huge cubical vault filled with money.

Well, I'm back again. 

 

Heyo everyone.

Ty! Technically I'm still in training for what I'm doing (glass tempering if anyone actually cares) but they decided to bump up the position anyways. It actually happened 3 months ago, but it finally just went through today. It also means I'm about to get backpayed for those 3 months so...

Blah I don't work in a cubicle.. I could get a gold plated hard hat though haha.


And g'morning Mr. Statham (or afternoon depending on where you are)

and a good morning to you, blue sword. lel

I'm tempted to ask you about a few things in the novels.
 
Like currency wars.
 
They do good job at explaining things but sometimes it flies over my head.
 
LAWRENCE, CALM DOWN!
 
Also, I don't know if you've gotten there yet, but there was a part in the Narwhale arc that still puzzles me. It was a sort of mystery behind crates of gold and what-not.
 
Most of it I get though, like I said, they explain it really well in the books.

Are you referring to currency devaluation in general, or a specific event within the novels? If the former, I am sure you'll find very thorough articles on the subject by googling it. Don't recall there being direct usage of currency war within the novels, other than Lawrence passing in mention that it is a method that has been used between nations, and conflicts have been won through this method (which applies to our history as well). Of course, the novels don't go into detail how, but it isn't particularly needed either since it is what the term means--that two nations competed in devaluing their currency by reducing its intrinsic value. I do love how the novels points this out.

I'm only at Book 7, so the issue with the crates of gold hasn't yet developed, other than the crates being used as method to smuggle gold and using crates as a numerical method to count the quantity of gold inside (which is a more favorable approach then using bags).

The novels indeed do a capable job in explaining its economical dealings, but certain aspects may require one to have more than general knowledge within the area. I would be more than surprised if someone accurately depicted the event with Amati in Season 2 without a problem.

@Sim,

Gibraltar as Jabal-al-Tariq?

 

As I remember it used to be part of Spain, then the British took over. Not related to Morocco for a long time. Right?

[Isichar]

Sh*t.

We have a glass place in Gibraltar. Kind of like a shop/museum.

I don't know about there, but that stuff looks reeeaaaalllly hard.

I mean this btw.



Unless you mean something else completely.

What you're talking about is glass blowing. What I do is not nearly as creative.

Tempering is basically heating something up to make it stronger, kind of like what blacksmiths do with iron and such, except with glass. A tempered piece of glass you can pretty much throw on the ground and it likely won't break unless it hits a corner or something. You can tell if a piece is tempered by how to breaks (a tempered one will blow into a thousand pieces when it breaks, a non tempered one will just kind of break into a few into larger pieces)

Most of our work comes from construction companies. So like windows, glass doors, tabletops, railing and whatnot. Some of it is quite heavy (youll get panels that are like 40 inches by 120 inches and 10-12MM thick) and you have to be insanely careful lifting it for obvious reasons. Half my job is lifting the other half is maintaining the temperer which is a giant furnace that spreads across one wall of the entire shop (15-20 long meters give or take) probably the biggest part about the job is using the program to control the temperer. There's tons and tons of **** you need to know. There's about 100 different parts and sections that are controlled by the program and if you get even 1 number wrong then basically whatever you put in is going to break, and the fun part is that most of it changes depending on the glass you put in.. And we do many, many, many different types of glass so its a ton to know.. Anyways I'll quit boring y'all with the details but it certainly keeps me busy and in good shape and its moderately decent paying too so yeah, its decent overall.

Sayaka gif for relevance!

I don't mind. Always appreciate learning new things, even it might be trivial.

@Sim

It's only complex if you look at the machine as a whole, but another way to look at it is it's just a ton of very simple processes working together in unison.

It can be hard remember all the numbers to input into the system though since you have like 20 different types of glass to do depending on thickness and/or patterns.

I like the physical aspect, keeps me from having to go to the gym. The only part that can suck is that depending on the thickness of the glass you might be running back and forth to get pieces on in time for the thinner glass since it goes so quickly, or with the thicker pieces you could end up waiting 5-30 minutes for it to come out (it gets boring fast, hence why I can be on my phone so much during the day some work days)

Sim did you get Pokemon yet?

 

I wasted a lot of time today on a PM that went poof! Gone forever with my time.

 

I would really like to beat your ass with my Combusken.

 

It would help me feel better.
