    Some foods have more iron than others. Your body absorbs iron easier from meats than other foods. Vitamin C increases your ability to absorb iron. Milk, coffee, tea, egg whites, fiber and soy decrease your ability to absorb iron.

    I think you got exp for getting 100 rep or something?

     

    The idea was always tossed around that getting rep should or would earn you a bit of exp, but it was never codified and implemented, to my knowledge.

     

    Also, bring out tfw topic. that's probably the one topic that makes up the Ace board and doesn't really have anything that would be better left hidden. Hell, I might just go back and scroll through memory lane myself.

    Drinking eh, you think you can keep up with a 7th fleet sailor gramps. No but really I think it is badass that you jump out of airplanes. I work in an AC space  fixing radios on a destroyer so doing something like that is a little on the more extreme side of things for me. Also I would like to point out that with Anime you can be a salty seadog, a hardened vet or whatever and still enjoy a pass time that is often taken as being childish. You just gotta not really care what others think of you.

     

    Oh no, I like anime. But I'm picky. If I call certain shows trash, it's because I think they really are trash because they either do things poorly that other have done way better or other reasons that really make me want to not watch 'em. I'm not calling all anime trash.

     

    Edit: @Magus, Do I think I can keep up with sailor driven to drink by cabin fever? Bring it on, seaman.

    Community questions:
    So, who are you?:     I am the co-founder of the forums with Ame. I say forums because I had little to do with the infamous Reborn League or the Reborn Game than Ame + minions have made which have really been the driving forces behind this place's popularity. I've been a moderator off and on since the beginning but I've been retired for a while this time around. Other than that, I've earned a Bachelor's degree in Biology and am currently working on getting another degree to work in Nuclear Medicine. But in between degrees, I spent 5 years active duty in the US Army as Airborne Infantry- which basically means I was trained to jump, mid-flight, out of an airplane and parachute down into combat situations. I did end up deployed to Afghanistan for 9 months during that time.

     

    Which reminds me. As Godot has mentioned, this place originally called Reborn when it first started but was instead called Poke-place and was a spin-off forum dedicated to fans of the pokemon series. At one point, the forums had to move from it's original place for reasons I wasn't around to really know about, but that's how it earned it's name. It moved to a new place and was "Reborn." Incidentally, I guess the full name of the site is really "Reborn, Evolved", which was so named to help promote our push to make this place a host for gaming beyond the Reborn Game or Pokemon itself. We wanted the site to change and be more inclusive of other popular games that our members could team together to placy, such as LoL, minecraft, Overwatch, etc. Diversify and expand the community without losing our pokemon roots. We wanted an 'evolved' version of Reborn.


    Anything you're responsible for?    Inflicting Godot upon this place. I'd feel sorry for you but some of ya'll deserve it ;P. I currently hold no responsibilities as but a normal member of reborn.

     

    What are you known for?     Changing avatars often and my contributions to the Suggest an Avatar thread. Some few might remember my past contributions to moderation, I suppose. Drinking...
     
    If you had to choose one of your posts as your way to introduce yourself, which would it be?         I never really did an intro thread because this place started off with a small group of people who knew each other and I was visibly active through most of this place's existence. So, long answer short, just stick with this one.
     
    What can I talk to you about?        Console gaming, especially fps's or real time action games you can coop (Destiny, OW, Battleborn). Books, esp. Robert Jordan, Harry Turtledove, L.E. Moddesitt Jr, Robin Hobb books. Movies. Things to do with the military, if you're just curious or are thinking about joining a military branch (in which case it behooves you to talk to other people about it because the recruiter isn't stereotyped as particularly honest for a reason). Anime- I've seen quite a bit, but there are some popular ones that I consider trash or turned into trash as the series went on (such as naruto, bleach, one piece, and fairy tale). Musics.
     
    Closing statements?       I am opinionated but I don't think my online presence is all that intimidating, so hit me up.

    I'm sure overwatch could be streamed and battle records could be saved on system and uploaded for smash...

     

    but all those drinking games/games you usually play when you're drinking look fun.

     

    I'm sure I'm gonna be out of town for this but I suppose I could work something out with my laptop and whatnot.
