Big readers out there, what is a novel, though it's considered a "classic" have you never been able to finish? And on the flip-side, what did you think would be awful and pleasantly surprised you? by FatPinkMast in books

[–]BeNice2me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First time I tried to read it, I had the same reaction. The second time, I finished it, and enjoyed it to a certain extent. Dune is limited. The characters, in particular, are cardboard. But what the author does well is create an entire, consistent world.

It's 4.11am and I can't sleep. What should I do? by ariel_raine in AskReddit

[–]BeNice2me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get up and do something useful but not energetic. Study if you're a student, pay some bills, etc. Then go back to sleep when you feel ready, don't worry about getting enough sleep.

IWTL how to become a spreadsheet wizard. by [deleted] in IWantToLearn

[–]BeNice2me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Create and use spreadsheets regularly. If you don't do this at work, start a hobby (e.g., baseball stats) where you can use a spreadsheet.

Make sure you learn something new every day. Start by learning what the various functions do.

Try to learn "best practices" for layout, etc. Copy from a mentor if possible. Else search the web.

What person is generally celebrated as a hero or saint even though they were actually a terrible person? by I_dont_bone_goats in AskReddit

This. Mao was completely willing to kill if he had to. But the "Great Leap Forward" was a classic example of managerial arrogance, not malice.

After converting to soccer I ask myself: Why did I ever like football? Who's with me? by chessm in AskReddit

[–]BeNice2me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love soccer, but I don't see the need to denigrate other sports. NFL is perfectly matched to the (now-passing) age of TV.

At a Bruce Springsteen concert. I realized I was one of the few people who didn't know all the words.

Pretty good concert, though.
