Also significantly fewer roaches. In my experience they're more common in the south due to the warmer weather

Pathfinder 2e literally has bioluminescence bombs that's just jarred firefly juice that's secreted by humanoid fey that resemble the bugs

It's also humans continually expanding and building in previously undeveloped areas. It crowds out other species.

30 years ago it didnt matter if you raked your leaves because there were still plenty of areas for lightning bugs to migrate in from. But when everyone's surrounded by miles of suburbs the lightning bugs have further to go for you to see them

Not only that, Kodansha is ridiculously money-grubbing in the space. They're continually trying to push for pay-per-chapter monetization instead of a basic subscription model like Shonen Jump does.

Not only that, Kodansha's newest app, KManga, has 21 trackers in it to sell off user data. For context, Facebook only has 9 trackers.

Those are NFA items. Each one requires a $200 tax stamp (in addition to the sale price) plus you have to fill out a form and wait for it to be processed. Average times are now around 6 days but it used to be several months on average

If you're buying from an FFL anywhere in the US you absolutely are getting background checked. FFL's don't want to open themselves up to more liability than they need to.

The only way you're not getting background checked is private sales from your cousin vinney you suspect is in a gang or your redneck uncle Rob.

That being said, background checks are different from waiting periods. They usually only take 5-10 minutes to get approval. You literally just awkwardly stand by the counter and dick around on your phone while you wait

Tangential fact: syphillis originated in the Americas, likely from llamas. It's the only instance of a transmittable disease to be imported to the old world.

This also makes me a bit annoyed at the show 'Apothecary Diaries" as it depicts syphillis existing in China in the 700AD

Same. I gave Tunic a fair shot until I had to use a guide to get further due to the devs cheaply hiding a teleport gate in the map. Plus the spirit gauntlet was its own bit of bs
