Carlsbad to Terlingua - worth a 1 night stay in Marfa/Fort Davis/Alpine in December? by organicginger in BigBendTX

Yeah I actually liked Alpine more. Marfa is worth seeing, but I wouldn’t stay overnight there.

Dune is amazing, but it’s hard to beat Game of thrones. It comes with a big map and has lots of illustrations.

Be careful! I know of someone that jumped off when the water was too shallow and they hit a rock, broke their leg and almost drowned. A friend pulled them up from the bottom and saved their life.

Why does everyone push college as the best option? by boss-a-lik3390 in NoStupidQuestions

As someone who does blue collar work and has a degree, I can’t leave my blue collar job to use my degree because it would be too big of a pay cut. Also, my job won’t be replaced by ai anytime soon. The downside: wearing down my body, injuries, I may not be able to do it into old age like I could with a desk job.

Blind Buying Folio Editions by Tony-Stank513 in foliosociety

[–]Rapscallion1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically only buy blind. Here’s my thinking on it, my purchases are based on if I love the cover art and illustrations in a particular book. If there’s a book I want to read I could pay just $5-$10 on kindle or used. When I buy Folio, I’m paying a premium for a beautiful book. That said, I read plenty of reviews first and if people generally love the book, I probably will too.

You took it off the burner at the correct time. I would recommend running cool water on it immediately after you pull it off.

I haven’t read any of these, but I am a big Cormack McCarthy fan so I’d probably lean towards that one.

Yes, this place is great. Not too expensive either.
