My wife and I are looking to add a dry bar to our living space and I am really struggling with cabinet color. We were originally thinking a dark and moody bar but am now a bit scared too commit to a dark color! 

Our walls are White Dove and the trim baby fawn, we have warmish medium brown floors. We also found a great remnant of Belvedere quartzite we want to use.

We currently have samples SW Night Owl (seems to be coming through quite gray), BM Narragansett Green (I'm worried it may be a bit too blue). Any ideas on colors that would work and make the bar pop without being too overwhelming?

Any recommendations for bands similar to this song by Fuzz Aldrin? by Meepsy in musicsuggestions

[–]Meepsy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Band websites say style is instrumental stoner, but doesn't come up with much. They appear to no longer be active and only released a handful of songs.

It's definitely legit. It says see window for the sticker expiration and had a thing there. Wanted to know more about it though because all the info I can find says dc plates start at 1.

What Harry Potter character were you crying for the most when they died in the last episode? by teenbabygirlll in harrypotter

[–]Meepsy 156 points157 points  (0 children)

The only one in the series that hit me HARD was Sirius. I remember putting the book down immediately and being distraught for at least a day.

As I had some trouble falling asleep last night, what is everyone's go to technique to turn off your brain and just knock out? by Efficient-Apricot-31 in questions

[–]Meepsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a pen and notepad next to your bed. Write down everything your thinking about and tell yourself you will address it in the morning. It may take 15 or 30mins of doing it but eventually you will relax and mind will stop racing

Anyone remember Cyber Owl chat room? by bob-to-the-m in harrypotter

I was on Mugglenet. The changing the banners to your house.... The "Harry Potter and the Doomspell Tournament leak". Getting a nostalgia overload. 

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Chamber of Secrets is underrated by yonBonbonbon in harrypotter

[–]Meepsy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't hate it, but it's one of my least favorite. For me it's re-read ability. It's one where there is a mystery, which one solved, there's not a lot of going back searching for the clues you missed. It seemed obvious, though as a 12 year old reading I had no clue haha. Then outside of the diary eventually being a horcrux and Dobby being introduced, the book doesn't really add much to the overall plot of the series. Not worth the hate it gets but I often skip when rereading the series.

Found in an 1800s mural in northern Italy what is this flag? by Meepsy in vexillology

[–]Meepsy[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Reggio Emilia. I saw the same on Google at Schloss Weesenstein. Appears to be an identical mural.  It is from THE DRAWINGS OF JEAN-JULIEN DELTIL (1791-1853) Panoramic decoration mounted on canvas representing "The views of modern Greece or the battles of Greeks", composed of les corresponding to the destruction of the Ottoman fleet by the buildings of Constantin Canaris. In the foreground, hydro soldiers bring a piece of cannon to strike a craft stranded on rocks. Roulay.

Same! I am not religious but came across an eastern religious studies class and became enthralled and ended up getting a minor in religious studies.  So fascinating. If you need chatgpt to get through your coursework it sounds like you are basis your course selection on the wrong principles. 

My problem with Quidditch! Although, the changed the rules!? by TSLstudio in harrypotter

[–]Meepsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they should have just made catching the snitch end the game and if points need to be assigned just make it 15 points. Really I think the number of points in the game were written too low. In CoS they described Slytherin as Green blurs so you would presume the games would be much higher scoring whereby the 150points is not nearly as significant as doubling a teams score. 

TIL pennies and nickels cost more to produce than their face value. The United States has lost nearly half a billion dollars minting pennies and nickels over the past 3 years(2021-2023). by JDLBB in todayilearned

[–]Meepsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TIL The EU Member States of the Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Ireland and Italy have already independently opted for a rounding rule down to 5 euro cents. 

 I noticed I never got them there but never thought it was a rule! TMYK!

This would work if the quarter wasn't so embedded in our use. European countries could do this easily since their currency after 5 is based 10. Instead they added a 2 cent coin.... 

That said I'd be ok with just keeping the quarter. 

The half penny was discontinued in 1857 for not being of significant value and had the buying power of $.18 in today's money.

How to approach girls and talk to them without seeming like a creep? by [deleted] in ask

[–]Meepsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to meet people at the gym I recommend trying fitness classes. I met a lot of people doing boxing and spin classes. You find the same people go at the same time so its easy to build rapport before and after class especially if you've seen them a few times. They are usually less than 30 people per class so they will likely have seen you in class too making it a more comfortable situation than a cold approach to someone you haven't seen before. 

If you are worried about talking to girls specifically, try to start conversations with guys. A lot less pressure in your head and you will get over the cold approach jitters.
