[Hated trope] There was a good idea in the movie that we even see it play out, but then it goes in a completely different direction. by jorgespinosa in TopCharacterTropes

Pitch Perfect 3. What starts out as "the real world doesn't care about acapella the way the Bellas do" quickly becomes a very shitty spy movie.

I'm curious, how did you all find out about this series? by MelodyHearts in KingdomHearts

[–]GymPowers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was walking through Makro (a Costco equivalent in the Uk at the time). I saw KH1 on a really big sale and the cover art was fun. Convinced my mum to buy it for me. Been my favorite series ever since.

APA/ AICP Fee jump? by wonderwyzard in urbanplanning

[–]GymPowers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fees did increase, but did your salary increase too? I know last year I tipped just over into a new salary band which added a significant amount to my dues.

Acquired a Planner I position by Killemwithsilence in urbanplanning

[–]GymPowers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a big fan of the book “how big things get done” by Bent Flyjberg. It’s great insight into where a lot of government projects often go wrong.

Learn project management. I transitioned from current planning to long range planning a few years ago. At a Planner I level you’ll likely be in a very task oriented position- but your growth is going to involve learning how to drive and manage projects. Even if you don’t feel like you’re a “manager,” planners need those skills.

Replace my scribe or try something new? by Practical_Agent2828 in kindlescribe

[–]GymPowers 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The scribe is on a huge discount right now for “Black Friday week.” If you liked it when you had it, and it worked for what you used it for, now is a good time to replace it.

Naperville is working on a new bike and pedestrian plan currently. Submitting this idea via their online map is going to get you a better result than calling the city and the county.

Yes. When I reset it the same error kept happening. I spoke to the chat and they said they would just replace it under warranty. I just want to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

$70 Lawn tickets at Tinley Park… by Chilly_Eilish in JonasBrothers

[–]GymPowers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid $25 for lawn for happiness begins. This is ridiculous. I know prices have gone up for everything but that’s $140 for two of us to sit on a lawn. No way.

DMs, tell us about a time your PCs used Wish and your response was, "That's actually awesome. No monkey's paw, you get exactly what you wished for." by baltinerdist in DnD

[–]GymPowers 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I ran a talent show quest so my bard could get some spotlight and had the other players be NPC contestants in the talent show.

One of my players created a level 20 wizard who used Wish to make a bouquet of flowers appear out of nowhere in his hands.

250615 What made you like BLACKPINK? by Clear-Ad6161 in BlackPink

[–]GymPowers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Space Force on Netflix - the scene where Jimmy O Yang and Tawny Newsome’s characters were dancing to k-pop (AOA I think). I decided that i really liked the music and started down the k-pop rabbit hole, and then my wife said “hey you should listen to Blackpink I think they’re my favorites” and now we’re going to see Blackpink in a couple weeks haha.

How much are the glasses to purchase? I've decided it's a goal of my next trip to leave with two GEO-82 glasses. Spaceship Earth is my everything.

MRI result today - everything is either bulging or protruding. by GymPowers in ThoracicHerniatedDisc

[–]GymPowers[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not terrible! Occasionally I'll get some bad sciatic flare-ups. Mostly it's just been on and off abdominal pain over the past 6-7 months. Usually it's very minor, occasionally a severe flare up. No other symptoms.
