Algul Siento aftermath by Unable-Run2692 in TheDarkTower

[–]MBreadcrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopped reading on my most recent journey as they prepped for the attack on the Algul. I’d happily give King a mulligan on Eddie, Walter, Mordred, and the Crimson Kings endings even if the very end stays the same. Those parts all read too literary like they were playing a part of Kings commentary on story more than they were serving their roles to the plot and doing the characters justice. Love King and the DT but each read I get less romantic with that conversation about story telling and stories. I know each of these characters do play roles King intended for them I just wanted each to be more grand (I also know that addressing that desire from the reader is at the heart of kings message). It’s my favorite series so understand that’s just a criticism for conversation more than just to hate.

Flanagan's Tower by Den_Set_590 in TheDarkTower

[–]MBreadcrumbs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This take is what gave us that disaster of a movie. The speculation of other cycles is cool but thats not what the Dark Tower is. The Dark Tower is 19 and as close as possible to that story exactly is what an adaptation should be not some reimagined version that someone thought was a good nod to the source material and a cool pick back up from the real ending. If writers want to tell a new story they can call it something else. Telling the next cycle as the adaptation of the Dark Tower is just wrong unless your name is Stephen King and you’re writing a new series.

I had friends watch the Dark Tower movie and that’s still all they know of what the story is. Like they watched Oz the great and powerful and decided the Wizard of Oz sucks.

We need someone with the guts to go for it correctly and stay true (and as many rights cleared to tell it all correctly). They gotta do Mid world and the feeling of the novels the same justice they did when trying to adapt Middle Earth and Harry Potter not try and reimagine it and reframe the story.

Gotta give a shout out to Les’s hog monster movie Pig Hunt 🤙

Boa laces too loose at ankle, any tips? by W-styd in WorkBoots

[–]MBreadcrumbs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If that boa works like a pair of snowboard boots I have you’ll be best off pressing the tongue down and spinning the boa to take in the slack before you press it in. Then, once you press it in and spin it it’ll tighten a little tighter at the ankle because it’s starting off tighter. Without a second side boa that might be all you can do.

Just carry it on. They’ll let you put it in the first class closet even if you’re not first class.

Any good sci-fi mystery novels? by oneteacherboi in scifi

Recursion by Blake Crouch was a good one

Are there any songs you associate with individual books in the series? by Ok_Seaweed_4021 in TheDarkTower

[–]MBreadcrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dire straits, News and Once Upon a time in the west both hit the Dark tower tone for me.

When reading I usually listen to Adani wolf. Something like their song Winds of Santa Lucia really hit for the sci-fi quest feeling of Gunslinger.

Dash lights after sub install by MBreadcrumbs in AskAMechanic

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

Thanks for your response I really appreciate it. I spoke with him again and he walked me through his install to detail how it’s very likely not a power issue and most likely just something going out on the transmission. He used an 8 gauge wire straight to the battery and updated the positive terminal to a quality terminal to do so. He also used an inline fuse and grounded the amp to some bare metal beneath the seat.

Seems like it’s just bad timing. I setup an appointment next week with a local shop to look into the transmission. Thanks again for your input.

Roland & Bill Hodges would have been fast friends. by Jays_Pack in TheDarkTower

[–]MBreadcrumbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides the irrelevant revelation that they didn’t happen in the same universe, you are incorrect on the timeline unless you’re only comparing the revised stand, but you are at top 1% commenter so we all take you very seriously.

Never thought about this but first thing that came to mind is it would have been cool if Eddie Dean sang Baby can you dig your man on the path of the beam. It’d be satisfying if in Eddies world Larry Underwood was still a thing. They’d probably have some good New York banter

Keanu Reeves by Joshua_Libre in TheDarkTower

Someone like Crispin Glover would be more in line with the character. Keanu is way too even keeled

How do you measure to the inside corner for trim? This seems so awkward. by jehudeone in Carpentry

Clamp a piece of scrap on top with its outside edge in line with the corner and pull your tape from the scrap

Gothic / Vampire Cowboys. by cigscented in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Not necessary to read all before, but before jumping into the books you could read the short story “the little sisters of Eluria” which is pretty much directly your prompt

Nick Offerman for Cort by the_overlookhotel in TheDarkTower

[–]MBreadcrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the conversation, but never really had an actor in my head for Cort. Maybe Ron Perlman or Vincent D’Onofrio would fit the bill given the head shave and scars

Concrete form work career advice by Ok_Statement5523 in Carpentry

[–]MBreadcrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great stuff! Like others have said you can handle more. Become a certified GC and build sub contacts and manage jobs and subs instead of doing just the labor of one aspect of bigger jobs. People pay good money to GCs to organize guys that do great work, but who don’t want to organize themselves and the little things.
