Didn't cry, but Grave of the Fireflies is one hell of a sad movie.
Me and my emotions are rather detached.

Misaki Ayuzawa and Takumi Usui from Kaichou-wa Maid-sama!
They just work together. The oh-so-cocky perfect boy with a sad background with the fierce, tsundere class president. Delicious.

Indeed. While there is no doubt that initial blast was extremely powerful. It was the climate change that killed most of the dinosaurs. If you take a look at a map of the earth during the Cretaceous, you'll see that the landmass had already shifted. Many of the continents are separated. Spoiler:
As you can see, the impact was just off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. The impact would've affected the southern part of North America, the northern part of South America, and even the Western part of Africa. But the rest of the world would not have felt much of the impact. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that the initial impact would kill 20-30% of the dinosaurs.
Granted, the impact alone wouldn't kill 20-30% of the dinos. But just because the asteroid came down on a body of water doesn't mean that the damage would be lessened. On the contrary, the water would flash-boil and the impact would no doubt cause massive tsunamis and possibly some seismic/volcanic activity. And let's not forget the aforementioned dustclouds and acid rain. All that combined would leave behind a freakishly large body count, all of which are linked back to the single impact. All in all, it'd be one hell of a show.
That was all I was trying to point out. The initial impact would not have killed so many. However, the after-effects would.
I'm just hesitant to call them after-effects. A climate change I would classify as an after-effect, yes. But a giant wall of water caused by a fire-fuck-ball striking the ocean seems a little more direct. Know what I mean?
Understandable. But I believe after-effects seems more suitable. As the direct-effect would the massive impact, which created the crater. I called them after-effects simply due to the fact that the scalding water, acid rain, and dust clouds are by-products of the aforementioned impact.

Like I said I made a mistake and forgot to expound that the dust cloud that formed killed them and that the initial impact killed only like 20-30% and the rest were killed thereafter and I also admit that I made a mistake with the Ice Age thing..You really think that one meteor killed 20-30% of the dinosaurs? Need I remind you that the crater was in Mexico, while dinosaurs roamed world wide. The crater is only 180,000km in diameter, while the surface area the landmass of the Earth is roughly 148 million square kilometers. Not to mention, the land damage is only roughly half, as half the impact was on water. Overall, the crater is only 90,000km in diameter. So do you really think that the initial impact would kill 20-30% of dinosaurs?
The nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima had a yield of 5.2 megatons. That asteroid that struck in Mexico had the force of 100 MILLION MEGATONS! The crater was about 180 km in diameter and 10 km deep. More than 50% of the worlds different species were killed off because of the climate changes caused by the dust that was thrown into the air. Nearly all of the dinosaurs eventually died from all of the changes that this impact event had on the Earth’s environment. Acid rain and fires would have finished those that did not die from the initial impact.

Basically when the dinosaurs were chilling and eating other smaller animals a giant rock (meteor) crashed down on the Earth causing a massive shockwave which killed a ton of them. At this point the remaining survivors were slowly dissipated by the food shortage.. Then the Ice age came and screwed them more./facepalm.
Do you really think that one meteor would enough to kill a ton of dinosaurs? If that was true, we would've found a mark that big. Also, the dinosaurs have already died out by the time of the "Ice Age", or the Plesitocene epoch. Dinosaurs went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period, which is roughly 65 million years ago. The ice age started around 2.5 million years ago. The Ice Age is commonly misunderstood as a time when the Earth cooled down. While this is true, it's most defining factor is global glaciation.
Next time, I ask that you do a little bit of research before posting.
As was said earlier in this thread, we HAVE found a mark that big, in Mexico. The fact that the dinosaurs extinction happen very quick makes the scientists believe that the massive meteor caused an heatwave that killed lots of dinosaurs, but also threw up loads of dust in the air (with the help of volcanoes erupting from the shock wave of the meteor) leading to a long and world wide cooling of the earth (which is not the same as an Ice Age with glaciers covering the entire world), something that the cold-blooded dinosaurs could not adapt to.
What was it now you said about research...
No shit. Perhaps it was my fault as I didn't make it clear. What I was pointing out, was that he said the shockwave from the impact from a meteor was what killed many of the dinosaurs, which is completely false. There is little doubt that a climate change was what killed the dinosaurs. I have taken archeology courses in university, and you are indeed correct. There are several marks found that indicate a large meteors have crashed to the Earth. But the even though the size of the craters are quite large, it shockwave from it would simply have not killed "a ton of dinosaurs," which was the point I was trying to say.

I seriously don't know why you would waste a chance like this to go to somewhere like Toronto. For the benefit of your career i would seriously like to see you go to somewhere with a vastly different culture. The industry out there isn't booming for chefs, having something like an ability and experience to make exotic dishes (preferably something Asian/Italian) on your CV will exponentially boost your selling potential to any future employers. I would recommended Hong Kong definitely - boosts some of the best chefs in the world and nearly everyone over there speaks some kind of English. This. Don't squander such a great opportunity.
There's nothing special about cuisine in Toronto. Hong Kong is vastly superior. High quality food is everywhere. It says a lot when people travel there just to eat. Everything ranging from Italian, to Japanese, to Western and so much more. Pretty much everyone there speaks a little English. Transit is simple, and everything there is cheap. The only issue would be the weather. It is quite humid, and will take a bit of getting used to. But overall, I think it's still the best choice.
Hong Kong.
There's not a single type of food you can't find there. If you've been, you'll understand why.

I really wish all tablets would just die already. Do we truly need more tablets?As long as people keep buying them, they won't die. Should study a bit of Microeconomics.
When there's money to be made, other companies will join in to get a slice. It'll keep happening until the market is literally overflooded with similar items. At that point, when there is no more money to be made, firms will then leave that market.
$500 course right there.
His 3 part NTR doujin "I Will Protect You" has managed to make all the virgin bitches whine and complain more than his previous work: "Confession from Beyond the Mirror." 7 full pages of virgin rage. Delicious.
God I love this guy.
You can derail now.

Going to add Ajimu Najimi from Medaka Box on there.

Still busy whining and bitching I see.Also, you guys need to get off your high horse. What makes your fetish so much better than others? Everything you've said is an opinion, and a seriously biased one might I add. Boohoo, NTR and rape makes my penis soft. It's really quite simple. Just scroll down a teensy bit and take a look at the comments. If everyone else is bitching like you guys are, then it's probably a safe bet to stay away from it.
So quit with the bigotry. All you guys are doing is making yourself look like butthurt faggots who can't tolerate what someone else likes. It's actually people like you that make the world that much worse.
You're. glorifying. rape. Holy fucking shit.
Please. By all means. Point out exactly where I glorify rape.
