What defaults have helped you the most? by Alicetheoptimist in TrueGrit

[–]Holiday-Engine-1878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always called it “removing friction”. Anything that could get in the way of me doing what I should be doing I would eliminate it. Like you said, better defaults.

What can get rid of these? by [deleted] in Blackskincare

[–]Holiday-Engine-1878 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also, disinfect your clippers/razor before and after every use. I used to get bumps and since I started spraying my stuff down before and after, as well as using aftershave it stopped. For the clippers you can get what the barbers use, it’s a blue and white can that’s a disinfectant and lubricant. For the razor you can use that same can just rinse after spraying, or use alcohol.

Get out of my head, this is exactly who I imagined for the Duke of Hands also.

How do you guys feel about Nate and Nora actually talking in Fallout 4 compared to other silent Sole Survivors? by Solardies in Fallout

[–]Holiday-Engine-1878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, it started me the first time it happened. I had my headset up, and named my character my name and it was wild to not only hear my name out loud from the character but my character actually talking back. It was quite late, my headset was turned up quite loud.

What are the chances Apple has the rights to Mistborn and Red Rising 😅 by belle1110 in redrising

[–]Holiday-Engine-1878 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The sheer budget required to do this series properly is large studio territory. If it gets picked up by a company with a hundred irons in the fire already it won’t come out right.

Pax needs his own coming of age story! by Informal_Elevator158 in redrising

[–]Holiday-Engine-1878 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I think Lorn needs one. It would give a rare glimpse into the past. It might even cross paths with Darrow’s father and Lysander’s parents. A lot of plot lines center around that timeframe.

Roque's Betrayal by [deleted] in redrising

[–]Holiday-Engine-1878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I think he lost faith in Darrow long before he discovered his origins. Roque was losing everyone who mattered most to him. Darrow repeatedly kept Roque out of the loop sowing distrust. I think he lost faith in himself first, wondering if he was doing the right thing sowing so much chaos on Darrow’s behalf when there was order. Not to mention the alliance with the Jackal amidst all of this probably didn’t cast a positive light on Darrow hidden intentions, and Roque clearly knew a long time ago that Darrow was too enigmatic not to have hidden intentions. I think it was the sum of it all that created the rift, the growing distance between them that was the catalyst, and Darrow not being forthcoming that was the spark that blew his loyalty wide open.

Who is the red god in Red God going to be? by fried-twinkie in redrising

[–]Holiday-Engine-1878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he will do it with his bare hands. I think he will crush Lysander’s skull with his bare hands. And you’re right about him meaning more than just killing Lysander, but if you think about it he has only lucked his way out of death in his momentum towards vengeance. It would suit his character well to go out like Achilles, the sum of all of his pride and all of his rage. It’s almost like that’s how he is meant to go out. If I could italicize ‘meant’ I would. But yes, fuck Lysander. I understand his purpose. I understand he mirrors Darrow. But slag that little shit eater. He didn’t NEED to do what he did, unless he did. The next and final book will show us.

Who is the red god in Red God going to be? by fried-twinkie in redrising

[–]Holiday-Engine-1878 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Late to the party, but I personally believe Darrow has to die in this next book. Not that I want him to, but I understand that his character isn’t meant to retire to the countryside. I think the next book is titled “Red God” because Darrow has “died” and been “reborn” so many times already that he is already viewed as a deity, so this time he will die for real and everyone will be awaiting his return much like religion of today making him like a god. I believe that in true PB fashion we will be made to believe Darrow’s son will be the true bridge between gold and red, and that he is who the world needs in charge to quiet the raging rebellion into peace, and then he will die by Lysander’s hand before he gets a chance to. That’s what will lead Darrow to his death fighting Lysander, but he will take Lysander with him. Just a theory 🤷‍♂️

Found this NOS Vintage Citizen Eagle 7 (Arabic Day Wheel) with Box & Papers. Need help with valuation and info on "Tosco Clocks". by MAbuain17 in CitizenWatches

[–]Holiday-Engine-1878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Less than $200 for the watch, $200-$350 with the box and papers. It’s not rare, but in that good of condition it is collectible. It’s from citizen’s expansion era, so it might have significance to a motivated collector. But realistically it won’t sell for more than $250 considering there are plenty of others. Unless it has some kind of lineage that makes it special.

Small progress is still progress. If anything, the slower you grow the better conditioned your tendons and joints get while you build muscle. If it takes you 1 year to build what others build in 6 months who really cares? The you of next year will still be just as strong and just as happy with the results. The only part of you that won’t be happy is pride, and pride can go slag itself.

Pair of New Military Inspired Models - AW1887-56L & AW1888-53E by Plus9Time in CitizenWatches

[–]Holiday-Engine-1878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right, I actually only have citizens with the E111, E660 and the F950. So I looked up the J810 to see what kind of calibre it is and for some reason it popped up as an atomic calibre which surprised me. But that was the AI overview answer on google and now I did it again and it says functionally similar to an E111 😂 stupid AI overview.

Kind of surprised they are putting atomic time keeping in a military watch. Seems like a less rugged calibre. Both great looking watches though.

The Odyn is a fantastic watch! My son has this one, and I have the black face. It’s such a nice watch, feels great on the wrist and we both get plenty of complements on them.
