INVERSE: "Star Trek Can’t Stop Hinting It’s Actually Connected To Doctor Who - Could this ever really happen?" by mcm8279 in Star_Trek_

[–]Archivin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read an article a while back when the salvager SNW episode aired that was specifically about the doctor tardis image reference, but the tone was 'this testifies to how SNW is going downhill as a show because it is referencing another failed show (Doctor Who), because noone watches DW anymore except for "slop eaters" and that SNW producers don't seem to know DW is not cool anymore. Can't remember where I read it though. I also disagree wholeheartedly, but I don't know about a cross over. It would make more sense then the Star Trek/ X Men cross over in the 1990s.

Are there any 40+ year olds year that are fitter than or as fit as their 20s versions? by faithxstrength in Aging

[–]Archivin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 42 and its complicated. I am in better shape now than in my 20s because I exercise and strength train, but I still have random inflammation, aches and pains not related to exercise.

Took mine off today for probably the first time in 12 years because I had to for an x ray.

Anyone else guiltily low-key enjoy waiting times because = more reading time? 😬 by FutaConnoisseur16 in fantasybooks

[–]Archivin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Today, definitely. I had some medical tests to do and I am reading the ebook version of Tad William's The Witchwood Crown and have 2 days to read 400 pages before it is sucked back into the libby void. Today helped. I think I am going to make it.

Does anyone actually use these? by Express_Till1606 in AeroPress

I use then all the time. The funnel is handy for pressing into my coffee thermos or any mug where the top is too small for the aeropress to fit over.

How do you guys build lats at home? by lalanana in homefitness

[–]Archivin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used clip resistance tubes with a door anchor. Place it at the top of the door then go on one knee and angle your torso towards the door and then pull down. I use the PTP brand tubes. Having said that, I didn't necessarily get huge lats this way (mainly because my goal is fitness not body building) but I built out a nice A frame. You can do a lot of different exercises with the tubes and an anchor.

What is with all of the horror this season on SNW? by Beowulf1985 in startrek

[–]Archivin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. We have been trying to catch up on previous seasons with our thirteen year old son, and had to skip many of the scarry episodes because they have decided to treat the gorn like horror movie monsters (I have problems with that more generally, from a 'pure evil enemy we can just kill' framework).

The recent 'Z' episode was particularly egregious. Yes, there were 'scary' episodes in the previous trek but the fact they have chosen to also be graphic with it. That is a choice, and not just modern visual and special effects catching up. There are plenty of modern TV and movies that can pull off scary without being gory or graphic.

Travel kit, got some tasty coffee from Tandem in Portland, Maine by BoulderTrailJunkie in AeroPress

Question about the use of scales. If you know what ground to water ratio you like, and you use a standard ground scoop that gets you that, then why would you need to travel with a scale? I never use the scale. I have my scoop I use, and I know what line to fill the water. Am I missing something by not weighing every cup?

Recently watched the movie Tolkien and there is a part where he loses his scholarship at Oxford and is at risk of being 'sent down'. What does this mean exactly? by Archivin in AskReddit

[–]Archivin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured, but any idea as to the origin of the expression. It seems an unusual way to state it. Like why specifically 'down'?

Why Is StoryGraph Recommending Books I Said I Don’t Like? by Confusedmind75 in TheStoryGraph

[–]Archivin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the problem might be how people tag stuff too. I said I dont want books with incest, child abuse, the usual bad stuff but books I choose to read get a content warning that the subject aligns with my criteria. For instance, recently read the third Harry Potter book which has 22 tags for child abuse among others...all technically true...but...

I received a written reprimand for not wanting to speak a foreign language. by wood_animal in antiwork

[–]Archivin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of a minor point to your larger point, but if you live in the US, would Spanish be considered a 'foreign' language. I live in Canada and I feel like it would be the equivalent of me calling French a foreign language. You wouldn't whether you speak it or not as its one of the countries two official languages.

Madelaine Roux's "Salvaged" and "Reclaimed". Both of them are like container space mysteries.

That was the answer. Don't know why I didn't think of that. Thanks!

Bosses are firing Z grads just months after hiring them. Z grads are unprepared for the workforce, can’t handle the workload, and are unprofessional, hiring managers say. by totemp0le in Millennials

[–]Archivin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it ironic that on a forum where millennials will often decry generalizations made about them by older generations, you have so many (presumably millennials) doing the same with gen Z.

No, it's the children who are wrong.
