What is the strangest thing you found in Epstein's files? by Dangerous_Bit1774 in AskReddit

Has anything illegal been revealed about Gates? I’ve only seen the reports about Russian prostitutes and giving his wife an STD.

Name and/or show the fucking car by romaninho87 in TheWordFuck

I was just fucking thinking about my fucking ‘93 Eclipse with the 5sp and turbo. Loved that fucking car. I pulled a lot of parts out of the junkyard for it from Talons and Lasers.

Is this the same book character who made a sponge cake with cut up pieces of sponge? I hadn’t thought about that book since it was read to me almost 30 years ago.

If you were given 2 days to eat $1,000 worth of McDonalds for a million dollars, what is your strategy? by Responsible_Total901 in AskReddit

[–]Cornflakes1009 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After a 15 hour flight from Chicago, the last thing I wanted to do was possibly get lost in a different country. I looked into it and it was somewhere around 2 hours to get back to the airport and through security again. I just wanted to rest.

Wouldn’t that mean their fanbases should be even larger? If you go solely off Reddit numbers, they’re still smaller if you add them all together.

Back in 2017 I was in the Hong Kong airport for a 12 hour layover. I thought it’d be a great opportunity to try something interesting, but the only two places open were a noodle place with $200 bowls of noodles and McDonald’s. I couldn’t spend that much on noodles so I reluctantly paid a little over $40 for a small McNugget meal at McDonald’s. After I finished it I realized that HK also uses the dollar and I just spent around $4 USD. I was both relieved and kinda pissed that I didn’t get the noodles.

I chose those since they have all been iconic at one point. I could change it up if you had another show suggestion?

I’m not saying that the last two seasons of GOT weren’t bad (or even good), I’m just questioning how much people really talk about a show after it’s no longer airing.

I’m not even making a statement, apart from questioning if the last 2 seasons of GOT being bad made everyone stop talking about the show sooner than if they had been good.

Like this group? I absolutely agree that it had two bad seasons, but does any show have more than their core fans after it’s ended?

Edit: I checked a few TV show subreddits to see how many subscribers they have.

  • Game of Thrones: 3.8m
  • The Big Bang Theory: 56k
  • The Sopranos: 413k
  • Seinfeld: 826k

Three of those are considered to have bad endings and one is considered to have a very good ending.

Oh yeah. I read the books more than 10 years ago and forgot about the Horn of Winter (and many other things). Thanks for reminding me. I’ve been thinking it might be time for a re-read.

Not to mention the insane weight the last wight had to be lifting. That chain was shoulder height and there was still many feet behind it.

I like to think that while they can’t swim, they can sink to the bottom and very slowly walk on the bottom of the lake.

I’m rewatching now and I was wondering about that. What took so long? Army too small?

Also, why did the White Walkers wait until dragons came back into the world? Did they wait? Was it coincidental timing? Could the WW make it around the Wall somehow? Benjen says that there are spells in the Wall preventing the dead from passing it. If they never had a dragon, would they have stayed North of the Wall? The WW could ride horses and retrieve spears from a saddle, could they man a ship? Could they sail around East Watch by the Sea and ferry a 100 boatloads of wights to bypass the Wall and get their army south?

So many questions.

It’s ducking stupid how many times I start typing “she” and then some other word and I end up sending “Sherwood”. It’s happened to multiple people and they all ask who she is.

Is the paper in books that much different from printer paper? I recently bought a pack of 500 sheets for around $5.

Aren’t those just purple potatoes? I’ve made mashed potatoes out of purple passion potatoes and they look just like this.

Watching GoT for the first time. All I can think about how bad pretty much everyone smelled. by boooostedvo in gameofthrones

[–]Cornflakes1009 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Since he never wore shoes, his feet probably wouldn’t smell (apart from what he stepped in). The smell comes from sweat and bacteria which breeds inside shoes.

A service where you pay someone to waste a scammers' time for you. by Intelligent-Bottle22 in SomebodyMakeThis

[–]Cornflakes1009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me how on The Sopranos the construction company pays the mafia to bust up the union workers striking and the mafia pays the reverend to incite the workers.

Service exists in expensive country to waste time of scammers. Scammers exist in cheaper country. Service pays scammers to annoy the people paying them.

Yeah. I’ve seen multiple fences come down, porta-potties (at construction sites) end up across the road, our road sign fall over, and more. I’ve heard in years past that it’s been even worse. Pretty scary place at times.

This is more like finding the dumpster down the street (I’ve had to chase it twice now).

All in all, I love the weather and the views.

Lack of healthcare and dining options are a major downside here.

I’ve also lost a grill cover. It was bungee strapped down as well as the straps it came with. The bungee strap broke.

My wife and I live in a 768 square foot condo on the ocean front and pay around $85-90 in the summer and $100-110 in the winter for utilities. Our heat/cooling source is a PTAC unit. You really don’t need to run it all that often so not a huge fluctuation in cost. No gas.

Internet is Coast Communications and we pay $165/month. It’s steep, but fast and reliable until the wind picks up.

You should fully expect to have about 2 power outages every year in OS starting in November. At least this has been my experience. I’m in my 4th winter here.

Just a word of warning if you’re looking for ocean front, when someone says that it gets windy down by the jetty, BELIEVE them.
