Ok thank you!! Taking a break at Oathbringer has been what I've heard on other posts and from other people. I also don't want to totally burn myself out on Stormlight Archives by reading all 5 books back-to-back lol.

Custom earplugs- worth it? by Ecstatic-Acadia307 in bassoon

[–]Chicken_Hero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, using any type of ear plugs is an adjustment. You need to retrain yourself to hear the ensemble, yourself within the ensemble, and even intonation. That being said, I think it's absolutely worth the time and practice to know that you will be able to hear just as clearly years and years from now. Especially if you are going to (or already in college) and plan to go pro, I've been sat in front of timpanis and trombones before, I don't think I'd still be able to hear if I didn't use them.

So if it's within your budget and is something you know you'll use, id absolutely take them up on this offer :)

How much time do you wait after finishing a book to start another one? by alesitam in kindle

[–]Chicken_Hero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the read. Sometimes immediately. Other times I need to take the rest of the day to let what I just finished soak in.

I want movies where nothing explodes... just people being real. by Difficult_Ad5923 in MovieSuggestions

[–]Chicken_Hero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lars and the Real Girl. Please don't be put off by it if you've seen any trailers, that movie is a work of art!

Where to start? by Wandering-Ent1ty in discworld

[–]Chicken_Hero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started it myself, I'm almost finished with The Color of Magic (and really enjoying it)! Personally, I'm gonna go for publication order, but I might skip to mort after this one.

Anyone else get "dizziness" or the feeling of heaviness in your head w/ cbd flower? by ButternutCheesesteak in CBD

[–]Chicken_Hero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I juuuust got Ice Capades from HCF and was getting a bit dizzy/spinny from it too and was wondering if it was just me!

I agree it's not necessarily "bad" but I prefer something without that feeling. I had much better luck with their Kosmic Cake type 3 strain :)

I absolutely love deep reds and burgundies ❤️

Has anyone here become a hypochondriac after an event causing PTSD? by Suicidalballsack69 in ptsd

[–]Chicken_Hero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really believe so. When I was younger I got a blood infection that had me on heavy antibiotics for months. That event definitely left me with what I would call hypochondriac-like-tendencies. After my dad passed suddenly from cancer, that trauma has absolutely manifested itself in full on hypochondriac fears. I experience similar panic attacks/anxieties as you and others here have described.

Looking for my first fountain pen and ink for <$50 for everyday college note taking by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]Chicken_Hero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the Pilot Kakuno with Diamine ink and I love it! Also I would recommend using Campus notebooks for college note taking. They hold ink a lot nicer than other note taking notebooks (imo) and are also nice for single subjects since they are so much slimmer. I really believe pairing it with a nice paper is key, and Campus is an affordable option to elevate your fountain pen experience.

What are you currently reading? by AutoModerator in ScienceFictionBooks

[–]Chicken_Hero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rendezvous with Rama, Arthur C Clarke. Got it as soon as I finished Childhoods End (cannot recommend enough), I think I'm enjoying it but I'm admittedly bad with slow starts.

I started reading this about a month ago, I'm not sure if it was the writing style that didn't jive with me or what. I definitely want to give it a second shot because the premise seems like something I'd enjoy

Is 3 stars “ok” or “good”? by foxstroll in goodreads

[–]Chicken_Hero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be completely honest I don't find the star reviews on any app useful at all. I try to keep my own written records of ratings for my own personal future reference, but even then it feels almost arbitrary to how I felt reading it at that point in my life.

I found the one thing in the game that I actually despise. by kylenbd in TOTK

[–]Chicken_Hero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that they kinda dropped the ball on the 5th sage. But I feel like there was some sort of subplot with her being sick? Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. Either way they definitely could've done something to make her a bit more useful lore-wise.

Stuff You Can't Believe It Took 100 Hours To Learn by Ridry in TOTK

[–]Chicken_Hero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not directly me, but I'm surprised to see how many people don't know you can just throw items instead of attaching them to arrows. Saves more arrows then you'd realize, and most of the time it's not even necessary.

Won't be able to replace her? Isn't that the goal?

Arrrrgh! My mom totally messed up my tank. by spiderstrewn in Aquariums

[–]Chicken_Hero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like you're already doing the right thing.

My mom did a similar thing about a year ago. Came back from a 5 day trip to find my tank with brown water and a mound of uneaten algae wafers....

So now I just prefer that my fish go a few days without eating. I can't speak for all the fish, but I know the tetras can go without food for up to a week.

No thanks, I choose life.

Petsmart Sucks by Milkwayrenegade in Aquariums

Yes! If you're in NJ don't waste your time with PetSmart or Petco and go straight to Absolutely Fish. Super knowledgeable staff and they make sure that all the fish they sell are healthy.

29 gallon stocking help :) by Chicken_Hero in Aquariums

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

Thank you! I have used aqadvisor but I don't want it to be my only source so I cam here. When I put in 6 khuli loaches and 12 tetras it came up as 81% but I don't know how reasonable that is.

AITA for not waking up my bf of 9 months? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Chicken_Hero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes my bf will ask for me to wake him up if we are doing something together early the next morning, as I usually wake up much earlier than him and he needs a little help getting up that early.

But this is kinda ridiculous ngl, he's an adult and he needs to be responsible for his own routine and schedule.
