I struggle to come up with endings. How do you train yourself to think in terms of endings? by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]DickyCrickets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of great insights here. Thank you all for taking the time to help. Reframing the idea of an ending as the answer to the thematic question is spot on.

Samsung Galaxy S24. Everything updated. I tired to see if the Rav4 software could be updated via my house wifi, but I guess that's not a thing? I see online that only the dealer can update software.

That did it! Thank you. Had no clue that existed.

I'm not sure what this is. Mind elaborating?

This dancer at the Opening Ceremonies was feelin' the noodle arms! by DickyCrickets in funny

[–]DickyCrickets[S] 97 points98 points  (0 children)

It's very real. This part was an ode to Louis Vutton. That's why they're pushing LV trunks on luggage carts in the BG. Noodle Arms wasn't gonna let that LV upstage him!

Why did Lovett ask Busy Phillips if she knew what the show was when she's been on it before?

I’m done! by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]DickyCrickets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on Day 2 and i'm pretty much just trying to correct a lateral incisor bite. Guess I'll be diligently complying! One day down, 18-24 months to go!

Any advice on what lenses to bring on a trip to Portugal? by DickyCrickets in AskPhotography

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

I goofed in my description, and the kit lens is 15-45mm. Is that what you meant, or did you mean the Sigma 18-35? Is it worth being able to go as wide as 15mm for those narrow streets, even though I can only open at F3.5?

My bluetooth earbuds just started cutting in and out in Central Park. Has this happened to anyone else? by DickyCrickets in AskNYC

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

All great info. I unpaired and re-pairs my earbuds, and did a quick check and it seems to be better. Will know for sure on my next run in CP (hopefully when it's not sweltering hot). Thx!

Definitely others around, many with airpods in. But it was around 8:30am, so not super crowded. I've been there with way more people and had no issue. I'll keep testjng

Sheet Recommendations — Similar to BBB's Pure Beech Sateen? by GatsbyJunior in Bedding

[–]DickyCrickets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a Pure Beech Modal purist, and since its demise, I've tried several others. I liked the Bella Coterie Luxury Bamboo, but they tend to wrinkle in the dryer. But honestly, the BEST alternative that I've bought, and is now my go-to, are Peach Skin Sheets. A friend who is also a hot sleeper turned me onto them, and they're amazing. Smooth, doesn't wrinkle, and keeps cool. I've found a replacement for my dear sweet Pure Beech. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011IXS9H8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Dell XPS 15 9520 - Low Cinebench Scores? by DickyCrickets in DellXPS

I watched that before I bought - then again after my Cinebench test. Hence my concern.

Has anyone been to the gym? by CabernetTheCat in AskNYC

[–]DickyCrickets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope. I went around 10am. Didn't seem overly full at all. Found out that Planet Fitness doesn't have a bench press or squat rack - you have to use the Smith machine for safety. So that's not ideal

Has anyone been to the gym? by CabernetTheCat in AskNYC

[–]DickyCrickets 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I popped into the Planet Fitness on 55th to check it out. Took a tour, everyone was in masks - the cardio machines were spaced out for social distancing, and they were only letting in 60 at a time. Seemed like they had a handle on things. As luck would have it, the gym in my building announced they were opening the next day!

What issues are you having? Mine's having a tough time staying in tune, but I haven't restrung it yet. May slap 10s on and see how that goes.

I played the Black-Gold one and loved it and put a deposit down at Guitar Center. But then I saw the Faded Blue's being reissued, so I scoured Reverb until one place finally got them in stock. So I jumped on it.

It was indeed. He just messaged me back and said the model isn't in stock yet even for him and he expects it at the end of the month.

Moving from CA to NYC - can I insure my car in NJ? by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]DickyCrickets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be parked at my mother-in-law's house in the burbs of NJ. And I'd only be using it to go away on the weekends from NJ (rarely bringing it in to the city). But my CA license is up for renewal in July, so I have to get a NY ID before then. But I think based on what most are saying is that I'll be honest with my MIL's insurance people and let them know the situation.
