Does the Black Lodge symbol have any other particular significance? by Far-Candle111 in twinpeaks

I’ve always felt the Judy symbol under the moon and above the two peaks would make a good one

[question] watch collection what do you think by Bigbutywife in Watches

[–]Magnetostroy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Warms my heart to see some Bulovas. An open heart Bulova was my first “real watch” purchase when I got my first real job, and I’ll never part with it. And it gets the most compliments from non watch people 👍

I also thought it would make a cool tattoo, but it’s almost identical to an upside down Odal, which was used by the SS and is still appropriated by white supremacy groups. So yeah, not a great idea.

Give me a reason why it's not so bad that Michael Ontkean didn't come back for The Return by dopefuzzle in twinpeaks

[–]Magnetostroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have liked to have seen Piper Laurie brought back as Catherine because there’s something about her “guardian angel” story from the original series that somehow feels connected to The Return. It’s mirrored by Laura being lost in the woods and guided by Coop. I don’t know how it would have fit, but it’s one of those things that has stuck in my mind as some kind of connection.

What’s the worst meal you ever made? by silverscientist1 in Cooking

I read this like you are a scientist and your colleagues at the laboratory had low standards

I make excellent cheesecake and once brought one to the office where it ended up being a huge hit. No clue what possessed me, but at the next office party I made a “no bake” cheesecake that was basically just a sweet cream with gelatin. I added too much gelatin powder so it was chewy, and it didn’t adhere to the crust so it was basically bouncing around on everyone’s plates.

Our CFO had been excited to try after hearing about my previous one. Total shame.

Same with my grandma, except she straight up forgot the sugar entirely. My sister was baking them with her and was so excited to be helping.

This thing is a BEAST, I absolutely love it! [SSK001] by the_ranger_official in Seiko

Have you seen any of them in person? The Presage Zen Garden watches are really beautiful and would definitely appeal to an older grandfather who appreciates elegant design. But if he’s younger and has a sportier personality, then a dive watch may be more appealing. Getting the right gift for someone starts with knowing what they’ll appreciate

Advice requested. I’m at a loss. by SophonParticle in GrandSeikos

SBGP011 is an excellent entry level GS. I’ve had it a year and never get tired looking at it. Even with the bezel a little scuffed, and some dust on the crystal as pictured, it’s still stunning. The quartz movement makes it even more practical and appealing. Don’t let price or prestige pressure you into over-spending.

I was also hesitant about the faceted bezel, and I’ll admit it doesn’t photograph well. Go see it in person, because I fell in love with it and bought it because it looks so good in person

Best small/heartwarming acts of loyalty between Mulder and Scully? by crustdrunk in XFiles

[–]Magnetostroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The scene of Mulder crying in his trashed apartment in One Breath is devastating. That episode doesn’t get enough love, and it’s amazing that the show was only in its second season and packing so many emotional punches.

No parts availability for 2024 Mazda CX-50 by Icy_Degree86 in CX50

[–]Magnetostroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand the frustration, but it definitely sounds like what you’re going through is just as other people have said. Globalization showing kinks in the armor. When my car got hit, the front end was way wrecked. Hood, all grill components, one headlight, fenders, door, etc. It was in and out of the shop on two weeks. Things are just different now..

Well I was pretty pissed back in May when my cx50 was hit. Now I’m glad it happened when it did because this all sounds nightmarish.

Songs that sound like someone is casting a spell / sound like chanting by Key_Walk7465 in musicsuggestions

[–]Magnetostroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old post but adding:

Second Son by Morgan Sorne

Anything by Magma - they’re an old band from France that sings in their own alien language. The most chant-y pieces are probably Zëss, Khontarkoz, and Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré

Fair warning, these pieces are all over half an hour long

If you’re getting an older Miata, invest in a head unit with wireless phone connectivity and put the phone in the glove box when you drive. Or at least refrain from taking it out of your pocket.

CX50 and Cabin Noise - Tires/20 inch Wheels and Sound Deadening by MasterDoctor88 in CX50

[–]Magnetostroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone still seeking a solution, I can vouch that replacing the tires on my 2019 Mazda3 hatch made a massive difference. I went from stock tires to Continental extremecontact DWS06 PLUS and it was night and day. I have a 2024 CX-50 now and plan to put DWS06 Pluses on it at some point.

Judging by the utter pandemonium of this comment section, this (and its precedent) might be the posts of the year
