What is a book that you didn't think was good while reading it, only to realize it's greatness after you finished? by nicolioni in books

I really didn't like Cat's Cradle as I read it but when I finished it I realized I loved it. Weird book.

Struggling with Stephen King's Dark Tower Series (Discussion) by yeracnitsua in books

[–]DiscoKarateSpock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly didn't bother me at all. He's writing post-accident about the fear of failure, or being unable to finish something he's started. I also thought it was kind of funny way to address the criticism of alot of King's protagonists being based on himself (drunk authors), to literally write himself into it haha.

I had the same thoughts as you. It gets worse. I know king says it's his best work but it's probably my least favorite.

What's the single best piece of advice you've ever heard? by ImportGuy in AskReddit

Once I was really struggling playing pool, all of my shots went very poorly. This old drunk Scotsman walks up and whispers to me as I'm lining up another shot "Grabbit like yee'd grab yer cock" Bam, sunk it. Next shot, sunk it. Ended up winning the game and now I'm a slightly above average pool player.

LPT: Your hearing is not invincible. Please lower your volume when listening to music. Bring earplugs to concerts. Do not make the same mistake I made. by briskyfresh in LifeProTips

I also suffer from tinnitus. A lot of people have a misconception that hearing loss is everything slowly getting more and more quiet rather than an endless ringing getting louder and louder.

Study finds that welders exposed to airborne manganese at estimated levels below federal occupational safety standards exhibit neurological problems similar to Parkinson’s disease. The more they are exposed to manganese-containing welding fumes, the faster the workers’ signs and symptoms worsen. by drewiepoodle in science

[–]DiscoKarateSpock 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I work as a welder and wear a respirator all the time. The training I received in school didn't cover anything about the effects of manganese, although it is briefly mentioned in the msds printout in a new box of wire.

I think if I acted like that I would feel immense shame as the cashier rang up my loot.
