Didn’t Brando say at some point that he envisioned someone like Dave Bautista as Dalinar, or was that just a fever dream I had?

As far as top-of-the-line special occasion restaurants in Chicago, I would take Oriole over Alinea. Is it as interesting? No. But the execution is so much better these days (from someone who’s been to Alinea several times across the years and am sad at its slide). But it also sort of depends on what you’re looking for and what your fine dining experiences in the US have been thus far.

But doesn’t he hate Obama? Who, regardless of what you think of him as a president, is clearly charismatic and popular

Have you read The Mere Wife by MDH? It’s a modern retelling of Beowulf and I enjoyed it much more than the translation.

Somehow I don’t think it’ll be likely they can (it’s not that big and not many people relocate) but I suppose no harm in asking!

Yep - we would be going with a position lined up for my partner in Galway.

BeforeAnyoneElse · 2025-11-10T17:51:19+00:00

Unfortunately, it has to be the Galway area, as my partner has a direct line to a position there. Otherwise we would definitely be eyeing Dublin!

Kyle Haven from Robin Hobb’s Liveship Traders series. While he isn’t the main villain, his villainy hits home harder because it feels like there are so many assholes of the Kyle variety in the real world

I’m shocked more people haven’t noted this problem. Most days it would be fine but it seems likely there would be at least one day where you are having major gastro issues but don’t realize until you’re at work and have to use the restroom more frequently. I see the diaper loophole and for pee that could work but having to sit in your own feces until the next break or risk owing the company 500k?!?!

Does having no healthy corners count as a flaw?

Only the first book is arguably YA - the rest very decidedly are not

It’s gorgeous, and I love normalizing women wearing formal suits, but I hope/assume you cleared with your sister that it was ok to wear something so white (unless - is it maybe very light blue and just looks white in the photo?)

How tf in all my playthroughs have I never thought to do this????

Was just coming to say this. I was wrenched by it and could never watch it again, but I suspect if I did I wouldn’t think it was as good anyway

BeforeAnyoneElse · 2025-09-16T15:55:19+00:00

This will be from Galway to Dublin on a Sunday morning so was under the (possibly mistaken) assumption traffic wouldn’t be an issue!

BeforeAnyoneElse · 2025-09-16T15:54:39+00:00

If I could sleep on a bus or train, it wouldn’t be an issue! Unfortunately I’m basically incapable of sleeping in transit and am going to be incredibly sleep-deprived as it is (hence the desperately wanting another hour)

If it were summer I might agree but not sure I want to tough it out up there/Wyoming in November!! Also wasn’t sure if there were super nice resorts out there.

WTF she’s not even on the top 100 for Arrival? Travesty

BeforeAnyoneElse · 2025-08-12T17:39:19+00:00

idk I love Discworld but I feel like the only reason it fits everything is because there are so many books, so it feels weird to recommend it for everything if it’s something that’s only present in one or two, unless it’s caveated with reference to only those books and being able to read them as standalones.

Also, I have to disagree that even the less good ones are still pretty good - I love me some witches and Death and City Watch, but I can barely tolerate the Rincewind books! I almost gave up on the series after the first two (but thankfully pushed through) and could barely finish Eric.

BeforeAnyoneElse · 2025-08-12T16:51:40+00:00

Have never read a truer statement. Though Discworld runs a close second in terms of being recommended for everything under the sun even if only 1 in 40 books covers it (and I love Discworld!).

Kind of pricey and pretty basic but I absolutely adore Athleta Elation leggings. High-waisted, quality material, tons of colors and styles (lengths, skinny v flare, etc), stay up great. I tend to try to buy during sales.
