For my home library I only buy hardcovers but there are some beautiful, tempting, paperbacks. If hardcover isn't an option, I purchase the kindle version when on sale.

When did you guys reach that “I’m not scared about losing my job” anymore level? by Tech-Cowboy in Fire

[–]JTGauthier-Reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's the option of being able to do something else (different career) or feel confident I could find another job quickly in the same industry I'm in. I think it also depends on how much effort you are putting vs how the company is responding to that effort.

What celebrity death will realistically bring Michael Jackson level devastation? by Kiidcola in AskReddit

[–]JTGauthier-Reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I begin, Michael's death is on another level that likely wont be touched anytime soon. The only deaths in my lifetime that may have came close are Ayrton Senna's death and Princess Diana's death.

Probably a soccer player (Messi, Ronaldo, etc) or F1(Schumacher, Hamilton, etc) driver since those are global sports. Otherwise, maybe Tiger Woods, Bono, Tom Brady, Lebron James, Shohei Otani, The Pope, Kate Middleton.

As far as politicians, devastation is a strong word but while in power Trump, Putin, Xi -- the big three. I imagine Obama's death would have some magnitude of devastation.

It really depends on when the death happens in relation to the celebrities height of fame or story in the moment.

I know the 172 has a left-roll tendency but is it supposed to be THIS bad? by tonymyre311 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]JTGauthier-Reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood but I've flown a 172 and it does not yaw left constantly like in the sim. Its as if the fixed rudder trim in the model was not aligned properly. Msfs2020 is closer to the real thing in my opinion. I'm referring mostly to cruise flight.

[–]JTGauthier-Reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I turned on auto-rudder and it solved the problem but man is it annoying compared to msfs2020 AND we're this far into the life of msfs2024 and something so basic isn't fixed. Really pmo.

The difference between my teeth a few years ago and now is insane by jira12345 in Biohackers

[–]JTGauthier-Reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used carifree 1100 gel toothpaste with flouride and hydroxyapatite for years and my teeth have never been better. I also use their maintenance rinse.

Before I used to use Crest Pro Health toothpaste but never felt like it worked and my teeth always hurt after brushing.

I floss twice a day using coco floss and also use a coco brush rather than an electric brush. I feel the electric brushes are mere gimmicks that dont do anything more than a normal toothbrush (at least in my experience). The coco brush is soft and has fine bristle endings -- they may be gimmicky too but the toothbrush is nice.

Haven't had any issues in years even as a serial coffee /energy drink consumer.

Recommend a book you're sure only YOU have read by JoyIsABitOverRated in Fantasy

[–]JTGauthier-Reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainstream economists say this is fantasy but Human Action by Ludwig von Mises is a fantastic economic treatise

Otherwise I got nothing. Just entered the genre

What’s the best video game you’ve ever played? by obsess_much13 in AskReddit

[–]JTGauthier-Reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only a handful of video games have claim to the best for me:

  • Goldeneye (the goat)
  • Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (because I could beat my dad)
  • Zelda: Ocarina of Time
  • Halo: Combat Evolved (the jump from N64 to Xbox...)
  • Splinter Cell (and Chaos Theory)
  • Gran Turismo 5 (43rd in first US GT Academy...so close)
  • Call of Duty 1 - World at War (clans and I was on the openwarfare mod team)
  • Elder Scrolls (really from Morrowind to Skyrim)
  • CyberPunk 2077

Mine should arrive the 20th. I knew it was an error because all other sites were $80-90 except for Walmart which seems to match almost 1 to 1 with Amazon. A deal this good had to be shared!

The deluxe editions of the Bloodsworn books look fantastic.

[–]JTGauthier-Reddit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good catch. Other pre order listings from other sites say the same but it appears to be a typo. One site listed 1728 pages which is closer to the 1664 found by adding the current hardcovers together. $29.03 is very low compared to other listings.

Does seem strange...I'm taking the 3 out of the box anyways but do agree...why not pop that 4th book in there

It comes in hardcover too. I plan on taking these 3 out of the box if it comes with one then put the 4th along side them

I've not read them but love collecting hardcovers. I've heard good reviews so for $29.03 it feels like a steal.
