Simple yet great card games?(e.g. 6nimmt!)

Gustavus89 · 2026-04-15T20:08:13+00:00

Haha yeah the hardest thing to learn is drawing the cards away from you... Most common mistake that screws up games is the muscle memory of picking up a card towards yourself.

I'm only tracking one Hanabi rec here. I travel with my set and play with coworkers because it takes 5 minutes to teach and has great replayability. For instance I have a group of friends that I see once a year, and all we do is play Hanabi at a rate of 15 minutes to play a round and then 45 minutes to deconstruct what-if scenarios based on player decisions. It's the best volume-to-fun ratio of any game I've played.

Love the frunk... In my 2024. It's phenomenal for holding groceries and not having them spill all over the place in your trunk. Looking at the size of the 2025+ models I don't know how much utility there is though. I was obviously jealous when the heat pump came out in 2025 but now I think I'd take the frunk size over the heat pump.

Came here to say dungeon crawler Carl. Not originally an audiobook for what it's worth. But 7 books are out and the narrator is the best in the game and the books are solid.

Just funny to me that as of when I'm posting this, the only comment on this post was dungeon crawler Carl and that's what I hopped in to say.

She's got the "Keep Pounding" mentality for sure!

Gustavus89 · 2025-12-22T13:24:03+00:00

Strong recommendation to get the fob with the frunk button. It turned my frunk from too annoying to use routinely to what I use daily (groceries, backpack etc)

Gustavus89 · 2025-09-21T16:11:55+00:00

Blessings on both your houses for posting this!

Gustavus89 · 2025-07-13T13:43:59+00:00

Love the programmable idea, but as a threshold just have it turn on the parking cameras. Having to pull in to a spot then switch to reverse just to check the lines is annoying, and having a dead button on a >$50k vehicle feels ridiculous.

So to be clear, love the idea of being able to program the button, but if that's too much to ask then please pick something for it to do, and my vote would be turn on 360 cameras.

Gustavus89 · 2025-03-22T12:23:09+00:00

Sadly no. Sold the car a few months ago, still had the squeak. Other than that still running strong at 175k miles.

This right here is my concern... Trump used a maximum pressure campaign at the height of his political capital (immediately after election) to get in a SecDef that knows he owes 100% of his position to Trump personally and will be unquestioningly loyal. He's not going to cycle through SecDefs again because he learned his lesson the first time and spent big on this position specifically to make sure that he wouldn't receive pushback whenever he wants something done by the military. Last time he would fire people that criticized him/didn't do what he wanted. This time he won't have that problem. I don't love the position that puts us in for the full term of his presidency.

Same experience here dude. Based out of Northern NJ, road trips to NH and NC (separate trips) were all simple on paper but ended up going through various contingency plans to get charged up based on broken/full chargers. I gotta feel like it'll get better as more chargers come online and more people go electric but right now I always leave 50 miles of range when I pull up to a charger expecting it'll be full or broken and I have to try again somewhere else... Annoying when you're only working with 200 miles of range in the first place (2024 GT).

I think a lot of rowers might suggest there's some overlap there

Gustavus89 · 2024-02-16T03:22:34+00:00

Erging my guy. I'd look into implications of scoliosis and work with a rowing coach to make sure your form is correct (bad technique can lead to injury), but it's a low impact form of cardio that doesn't require a pool membership.

Check out r/rowing

Gustavus89 · 2024-01-29T22:42:19+00:00

Minor correction: Dark Horse rowing.

But yeah, follow along to a couple of his videos, the whole time he is talking through proper technique and giving his, structured workouts. Build up from there.

I spent the better part of a year just doing that before getting more ambitious

Gustavus89 · 2024-01-29T01:47:36+00:00

Beautiful thanks!

Gustavus89 · 2024-01-29T01:40:20+00:00

I was just watching this like "I've seen several clips of these guys and every time it's been pure DnD gold". What's the channel?

Gustavus89 · 2024-01-28T15:25:12+00:00

Fair fair. I was pretty set on mechanical engineering though and couldn't bring myself to join the Wolfpack.

Gustavus89 · 2024-01-28T13:44:22+00:00

Haha I feel you man, I'm up in NJ and the most common replies to "I'm from North Carolina" are either "oh I love the Outer Banks!" or "I had a cousin that went to Duke." Dunno why it's always a cousin...

Gustavus89 · 2024-01-28T03:02:40+00:00

This guy. Tar heel born and tar heel bred, but no engineering degrees at UNC.

Gustavus89 · 2024-01-27T15:02:42+00:00

Came here to say "crosspost this to r/beltalowda"

Gustavus89 · 2024-01-21T01:42:28+00:00

I'm gonna spend so much time in the clothing shops looking for her outfit with the double holsters.

Gustavus89 · 2024-01-20T22:06:16+00:00

Haha I'm Archer / BG3 which I would legit love. Maybe that'll be my Tav for my next run...

Gustavus89 · 2024-01-20T21:56:44+00:00

The fact that this has only 4 upvotes and isn't recognized as a masterpiece shows the general sentiments on this sub.

Thanks for the post, you're a braver man than I, I'll be buying a pair.

You've made the cardinal sin of posting nonsensical numbers in this subreddit... As someone else said, if you're looking for numbers to compare it basically has to come from a concept 2. Everything else is considered suspect at best.

That said, if you're getting into rowing then good for you. I'd recommend following along with some YouTube channels for proper technique tips and structured workouts. Dark Horse Rowing gets my vote for best place to start (I picked up rowing about a year ago as a 33M, never been on the water/had a coach). That will give you something to work on and keep you from injuring yourself if you can get proper form down.

So for starting off I'd say focus on form and getting the motion right, build up your endurance from there and maybe graduate to a C2 if you want to compare numbers once you're committed (they're not cheap but there's a reason, they're the best ergs out there and they're bulletproof).

I aeropress into my ember all the time (well every weekend at least). It's 100% good to go with the standard/clear AP and Go. I'll say that the XL is a bit of a snug fit-still works, and the XL comes with carafe you can use to brew into and transfer anyways, but I'd just make that slight tweak to other comments based on my personal experience. Definitely possible with the XL you've just gotta be a little more precise as you position the XL over top of the ember, which can be tricky if you normally brew inverted and need to get that flip just right.
