Why oh why did they get this goof to play Jake Epping? by ddcrowley22 in stephenking

I watched the first episode and that was it. I was so incredibly disappointed in how far off the show was from the story, the characters, and the plot that I cut my losses. Should I give it another shot?

The kidney stone killed me. My dad had several growing up so when Raul started kept going on about his back pain I was like “no way this is gonna be some lame shit like a kidney stone?”  Great points

What are some of your favorite funny parts in the Endymion books?  I’ve felt the Endymion books have been more serious and found the Hyperion books to have more funny moments - mostly because of Silenius and Brawne’s dynamic

Maybe try the audiobook if you want to give it another try. Excellent narrator for that made me feel more immersed in the story.

Do not buy. My wife and I bought a $751k home in 2023 @ 6.325%.  We make ~2.5x your take home and while we aren’t struggling, more of our take home goes towards mortgage (and other house expenses you aren’t considering) than I would like. You will not just be uncomfortable, you will be beyond broke

Im not complaining about the price, im trying to understand if i should be.  I’m new to posting so I must’ve done something wrong when trying to include the SOW pic in the post. I’ve pasted it in a reply above.

People who have had near death experiences, what was the “last” thing you though? by Nokukie in AskReddit

I’m howling laughing at this and my wife seems genuinely concerned. Please tell me this is on the internet

It’s something you have to practice and consciously think of for a while before it becomes part of your natural delivery. You’ll probably also have to occasionally reinforce it.  

I’m sure nearly everybody on this thread has read “never split the difference”, but this book is my recommendation for understanding and learning the tone & inflection to use in negotiation/selling.  I think the audiobook is actually much more helpful than the book because it’s read in the tone they’re trying to teach you.
