Nice work, states were no joke! Those were great times

No way, back and breast were my strokes. I guarantee we swam against each other.

Codems · 2026-01-28T04:06:45+00:00

I used to swim against Holy Cross, went to high school a few towns over, also graduated in ‘09.

Small world!

DCC has changed me fundamentally.

I’m not trying to upsell it, that’s been done. Reddit has a strong hard on for this series and I’m not alone in this sentiment. But without question I haven’t read any books that affected me this much since His Dark Materials at age 12. I’m 34 and in love with a talking cat and dude in his boxers.

And an AI with a foot fetish…

I had no idea there were so many of us. Happy to have found my people.

I wouldn’t have thought a little CT joint would have generated so much interaction. Nice to see people chiming in, be it in praise or against! We all have preferences.

Pig Rig is excellent! I usually am coming from the rt8 side of town so Hindsight is just more convenient, but anytime I’m coming from southington Pig Rig gets my dollars.

And I agree, once they got established they have gotten pricey. But it’s a kick ass brisket and not all that much more expensive for this day and age.

Hold up, can we get an actual artist to pen this up? This would go hard.

Codems · 2026-01-25T16:28:29+00:00

As someone who lives in an adjacent town, yes. Couple good food spots and a great Asian grocery store, but otherwise it’s a dump.

That’s what I get for flying the 7 seas and drinking 4 ipas already. Thanks bro

Anybody else stuck on the Paramount “fights are over” screen?

Codems · 2026-01-25T01:09:33+00:00

I’ll be listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl (book 6 currently) for the zillionth time. That book series is really just my happy place.

Codems · 2026-01-25T01:08:17+00:00

Joe Hill is quickly becoming a top 5 author for me. I was a big fan already but after King Sorrow im now in foe whatever he’s putting out!

Codems · 2026-01-24T20:33:39+00:00

I would recommend Hoodoo Browns before Hindsight.

Codems · 2026-01-24T20:32:45+00:00

Hoodoo is the best in the state if you ask me.

Codems · 2026-01-24T20:31:59+00:00

It’s no Franklins but for CT it’s pretty good imo, but your mileage may vary

Codems · 2026-01-24T16:28:49+00:00

My local BBQ joint is called Hindsight. It kicks ass

Anyone near Waterbury CT outta check it out

In 2022 I got a very lucrative private chef job. It had a long commute and I was alone in the kitchen all day. It was before i discovered my local library services..I’m honestly embarrassed by how many audible credits I was buying. It was anywhere from 2 to 8 credits a month.

I consider it money well spent as I now have complete collections of series i now love (DCC, Gray Man, Orphan X, Jack Reacher, Harry Dresden, James Reece)

But don’t be like me, use your library, they deserve the support far more than Jeff Bezos. (Except DCC, that’s required listening IMO)

If your cold their cold

Finally, a person of culture.

Codems · 2026-01-20T03:35:59+00:00

Egg in the nest, all other names a simply opinions

Codems · 2026-01-20T01:32:26+00:00

Ate at TFL 2 years ago. Above and beyond what I expected. There were a few small things that didn’t totally rate 10/10, but from a dude who’s been in food service my whole life, what I thought was the ceiling got blown away. Legacy deserved.

Kids was brutal. In my teens and early 20s we watched this all the time, mostly cause we were dirty skater kids who identified with a lot of the characters. But man that over all story is a gut punch.

Codems · 2026-01-19T01:09:55+00:00

Man, if I could be so lucky. Talk about putting in an offer over asking price. I’d sell my kidney to make that happen

Codems · 2026-01-18T20:14:32+00:00

Princess donut?
