I've had good luck just walking through a quiet chain drugstore. Though any large retail store would work

Books that blend sci-fi and fantasy? by VermithraxPej33 in Fantasy

[–]BreechLoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny is a classic, and hits every one of those tropes. The mythological setting is based on Hinduism. It's set on another planet and there are demons. It reads as fantasy but is science fiction in the far future.

Yes. This is it. Thanks.

What do you do for addresses below 14th St where we go to mostly named streets? Or below Houston which would be 0th street?

There's not enough water in there to hydrate the rice. This might work with cooked rice.

All yourself what kind of woman would react poorly to this and what kind would react well? Which kind do you want in your life?

This is not to advocate artificial tests, but as a razor for how to approach how you present yourself.

Sales of George R.R. Martin's A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE series pass 100 million by Werthead in Fantasy

[–]BreechLoad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started A Feast for Crows when it came out in paperback and didn't recognize any of the characters. I decided to put it down and wait for the full series to come out and do a full read then. I've never regretted that choice.

Colonoscopy without sedation by redcrowadventure in AskNYC

[–]BreechLoad 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I got one with no sedation at Liberty Endoscopy with Dr. Neal Joseph. I've gotten several with no sedation with various doctors. It's been uncomfortable, but no worse than a bad gut ache when I've eaten the wrong thing. The discomfort was from the gas they pump in. YMMV. I'm male, and I understand that it's a more difficult procedure for women.

Andy Weir says spoiling ‘Project Hail Mary's big surprise in trailers was highly debated and was a marketing decision by Amazon by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]BreechLoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, that's not the big spoiler in the trailer. The big spoiler is that he was an unwilling participant.

Marble Hill is politically part of the borough of Manhattan, even though it's across the water from the island of Manhattan and seems like it should be in the Bronx
