*Ring Ring*


Me: Hello?
WS: Hey
Me: Yes, how can I help you?
WS: Ask you ar, do you know where to get a cheap incubator?
Me: *Laughed* Why? You have premature baby?

Turned out that he was worried about two eggs in the nest in the garden of his workplace. As he was closing the door, for some unknown reasons, the mother bird flew past him and into his office and smacked into the front glass door, leaving discharges over a couple of places.

He panicked. "OMG, she died!" Fortunately, that wasn't the case. In fact, later, she was upright again but staring at him wearily. I on the other hand, tried searching for a vet nearby for him to phone (I was still at work) but in the end, he called SPCA.

WS: OMG I think the mother bird died!
SPCA: Calm down, WS. Are you hurt?

Ok, I made that up but the way things went, he was panicking more than the bird lol. After exchange some information, SPCA adviced him to observe for a while. The bird could just be in shock to move and not injured. If not, SPCA would send someone down to look at her. I'm impressed.

Fortunately, she flew away but he was worried the eggs were not getting the required warmth from the bird. SPCA assured him that it was alright for the eggs to be without the bird overnight. Next day, she was back :-)

I laughed at this incident and will forever remember the first few lines of the tele-conversation but at the same time was quite touched that he was genuinely concerned over the welfare of the bird and her eggs. Way to go, WS!

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba

Strange expectorant

An expectorant cough syrup helps you to prevent phlegem from going to your lungs by expelling it via coughing or so I heard from doctors and pharmacists. That's why for cough that's caused by phlegm, it is not advisable to take suppressant cough syrup. Given that's the role, do you expect it to be drowsy? It should be non-drowsy so that you will be actively coughing out the phlegm, right? Not this Unizet expectorant. The doctor told me that it shouldn't be drowsy and yet some of his patients (including me) reported otherwise. I read the detailed information (on the piece of paper typically stuffed inside the box) and nowhere it indicated drowsiness as a side effect. Strange, huh?
