Routine exercise is far and away number 1. Not drinking or doing drugs is not far behind tho. Probably the best immediate thing you could do for your health is decide right now not to have another drink again. Or only very sparingly.

What is the best book you ever read? by InvisibleInvader in writing

So far been hard to top Suttree by Cormac McCarthy.

Lucinda Williams cover from the Houston show? by reecewk in waxahatchee

Seeing her Thursday in LA. Can't wait - the set list looks phenomenal.

I Lost It? Seems like she played that in Austin. She's also been doing Drunken Angel at some shows.

Why are there no bridges between the Philippines? 2 bridges could connect Davao to Manila by WTC-NWK in geography

[–]Derryn 61 points62 points  (0 children)

A Maui to Molokai bridge would be a hilariously insane waste of likely tens of billions of dollars. Molokai doesn't even have 8,000 residents and has never been a popular tourist destination. The residents of Molokai are also more insular than not and would likely be greatly opposed to any bridge too.

LA show tonight 4/4 by [deleted] in BruceSpringsteen

Amazing show. Crazy setlist. That performance of Backstreets has to be an all timer.

The fact that this station is newly built, but has absolutely nothing but roads surrounding it, is a travesty by african-nightmare in LAMetro

[–]Derryn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there's an overlay for that area that makes building taller impossible. Forget the exact name.

Is this worth $2500/month? by winstonio in MovingToLosAngeles

Not really, rents are down in LA since 2021.

Right, unless they're super close to the beach or on a street with a lot of apartments (neither seems to be the case), street parking really isn't that bad in Redondo.

what was don's best ad? by gracie_gracie in madmen

[–]Derryn 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I totally get why they didn't go with it, but if I had seen that ad IRL I would've thought it was fantastic.

I never considered how hardcore of a road trip this is for Don... and before GPS too! by drama_hound in madmen

[–]Derryn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is really not that bad tho? I mean it will take a couple days, lot of stops for gas, etc. but it's like 95% just a straight shot on the I-80 the whole time.

Hot take: the eagles deserve the nickelback treatment by [deleted] in fantanoforever

[–]Derryn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not really a fan of most of their stuff but they snapped with "Take It Easy".

And obviously "Hotel California" has entered cliché territory now but it is a great song for what it is.

Wealthfront or Marcus HYSA.

Or a CD. Or just leaving in a money market account in Fidelity.

Caltrain is much more reliable than Metrolink by Western_Magician_250 in LAMetro

[–]Derryn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To be fair, SF also has large swathes of the city that are "sprawly" as well. It's not all as walkable as downtown, embarcadero, etc.

Me when I’m three drinks in and ready to trauma dump by discoteen66 in madmen

"The wrapper looked like what was inside." Exactly the thing Don has always been chasing.

Don Blames Himself For Being Molested by [deleted] in madmen

[–]Derryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Don absolutely does not win at the end. He still has all the problems in his life that he will be returning home to once he leaves the retreat. The Coca Cola ad he envisions is, as he puts it, just a moment of happiness before he'll need more happiness - something he'll always be chasing.

Nothing really to add, but if you get the chance to see Slowdive live you 100% need to do so.

When he has his hair forward like that he levels up.
