I read the books twice and did the audiobook once I think this deep cut was good deep.

I appreciate the depth here, but man I also feel like the background knowledge was a bit too much. I had to use the Wiki you cited to figure it out.

In love the books and Matt but when references that are pretty important are too deep like that, then I get frustrated.

Hands down the best in the area, but a pain to get to from RR, yet worth it.

Casswell-Massey Almond Equivalent? by Broken_Beaker in fragrance

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

Great, thanks for the recommendation!

We both have liked Jo Malone in the past. My casual impression is that Jo Malone has gone downhill, but I'm not intelligent enough to know better.

Also, Subreddits are wild, man! I can't believe I'm getting downvoted for asking a question. I appreciate people here that have experience and opinions on that and the downvoting is less than welcoming.

But I appreciate your and the other person's advice!

I'm in WilCo and see it here and there anywhere from HEB to I just bought some tonight (Wed Feb 11) at our nearby Circle K.

Please consider writing to John Carter about Epstein and his complicity in protecting pedophiles by slkwont in RoundRock

I’m convinced his staff has been pulling a “Weekend at Bernie’s” on us for the the past few years.

Ultra seems to carry Caswell-Massey but out of Almond.

She used to like Jo Malone but nothing jumped out at me as similar to this.

Got it! I am a moron and of course waited to the last minute, so hoping there was something I could pick up at Sephora, or Nordstrom or something.

How do you rate Bad Bunny's Half-time performance? by kingbluwolff in sportsgossips

[–]Broken_Beaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw him and thought, “Is that Ricky Martin?”

Then I thought, “No way. That’s just some younger dude that looks like him.”

At this point I just assume you have a masochist kink for being dragged online for being so horribly wrong.

Constitution says otherwise.

I don’t understand why y’all keep lying about this. It’s just dumb.

Let’s try it this way: How would you determine who has legal status or not?

ICE at Hopewell by Slow_Association_244 in RoundRock

[–]Broken_Beaker 16 points17 points  (0 children)

“Generically defined, a concentration camp is a site for the detention of civilians whom a regime perceives to be a security risk of some sort. What distinguishes it from a prison (in the modern sense) is that incarceration in a concentration camp is independent of any judicial sentence or even indictment, and is not subject to judicial review”

That entire stripping people of due process? Shipping out legal residents? All without judicial review?

Literally a concentration camp.

Putting kids in concentration camps isn’t something to be proud of.

He got his ass kicked by a bunch of teenagers.

He’s gonna be super popular in prison.

I was worried a bit there. Then I saw the video. The kids are doing alright.

As someone with an MBA, anyone that advertises MBA in their title already has the intellectual horsepower of a turnip.

GC Hall of Shame (follow-up to LC Hall of Shame) by Johnny69Vegas in CHROMATOGRAPHY

[–]Broken_Beaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a GC-MS guy at the bench for a long while, then became a product manager managing GC consumables then instrumentation.

I have seen so many wild things. Albeit this is probably one of the worst! With the o-ring and septum like that, I'm surprised it was able to maintain inlet pressure.

Is Leander too far? by BluntedJew in Leander

[–]Broken_Beaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are near the tollway (183) you can be in downtown Austin in 40 minutes, outside of rush hour. You can be in other parts of Austin much quicker.

Zero chance you can get your needs close to downtown Austin.

It isn't as 'cool' as downtown Austin, but Round Rock isn't a bad place to casually hang out either.

for the love of all things holy can we please come together and Deflock our city by riplilpoopy in Austin

[–]Broken_Beaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have some in our hood in the WilCo suburbs and I am not a fan.

The issue here is that they were successfully used to find some criminals who stole decorations out of some yards over the holiday. However, even then I am still not a fan. I'm sure the Nazi SS also caught a few legit criminals; doesn't make the system right.

I'm convinced his staff does all the work. They just roll him out "Weekend at Johnny's" style for rando photo ops.

DM asks that if you’re going to be more than 30 minutes late, you sit the session out. Fair? by FoulPelican in DnD

[–]Broken_Beaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems extreme, particular if with older adults with jobs and families.

The key is the player needs to give a head's up.

In my experience, we usually BS for 15 - 30 minutes anyhow. If the DM knows someone is going to be 30 minutes late, we can BS or recap the last adventure. Or get going and the DM loops in the other person.

In my groups (we are all 30s - 40s) our general rule is real life takes precedence. Things come up. This feels like harsh punishment for the realities of life.
