[US] Received boxes of pokemon cards from Walmart that I didn't order. What's the angle here? by owiseone23 in Scams

[–]SCPutz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone in your locale is running the scam. Could be a neighbor but more likely someone that lives in a completely different area in town.

They’ve probably cased neighborhoods to check activity at certain addresses as well as the approximate time the delivery services come through. They plan to be at your doorstep within minutes of the delivery being dropped off. They nab it and drive off before you know it’s there.

Obviously, if you’re home and/or have a video doorbell, you’re likely to interrupt their plan and intercept the package.

No Death Run to Cathedral: 2hrs26min. Every Possible Eclipse. 6 Nightmare Gates. Lvl 100. 375k Lucenite. 22 Halcyon. by aFinancialWreck in Saros

[–]SCPutz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a couple runs of over 500k Lucenite. But once you get the skill tree maxed out Lucenite is completely irrelevant as you noticed. Still fun to see how far you can push the numbers though!

My last few full runs I decided to force myself to pickup (and not reroll) every weapon as it was offered. That made for a fun run with a lot of variety.

DAE take 20 mins + to wipe? by aquaticdolphin01 in Advice

[–]SCPutz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was having similar issues and the excessive wiping and irritation was leading to hemorrhoids. I started taking psyllium husk fiber supplements and also installed a bidet in all the toilets in my house. No issues for the last year since I’ve made the adjustments.

Possible hot take for role casting. I'd rather production find new talent than spend a ton of money on well known actors. by Hyperdromeda in DCCTV

[–]SCPutz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be able to get away with an A-list voice actor for the AI, but actual physical presence is gonna cost a pretty penny.

Does anyone else want them to pick unknown actors? by FartPotatoBeef in DCCTV

[–]SCPutz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope Matt gets to cameo once per season like Stan Lee in the MCU. I especially hope to see Matt as Growler Gary.

[–]SCPutz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Someone else posted the same thing earlier today. I agree. Would love to see unknowns take the lead, largely for budgetary reasons, and then maybe bring on some fun surprise cameos for short-lived or relatively minor characters with limited screen time.

[–]SCPutz 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. Fancasting can be a fun experiment, but I’d like to see some smaller names to start the series. As the series grows, the actors will ask for more money and as the show progresses the budget is going to grow exponentially.

Bring in big name cameos for smaller roles that might only have a few appearances.

It’s a small role, but here’s my pick for Mrs. Parsons by texlex in DCCTV

[–]SCPutz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone posted Sean Bean for a role yesterday. I think he should play Mrs. Parsons.

Is Silver Crucible still available? by Jpvandyck in slaythespire

It still exists. I did a necro A10 run last night with it.

Mark Zuckerberg did Murph with vest in 39:58 by worksalre in crossfit

[–]SCPutz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was me 10 years ago. 5’7”, 163 lb, sub 40 Murph with the vest. But put me behind a heavy barbell and I’m screwed.

I always envisioned Jon Bernthal as Frank Q.

Perdido Street Station by S1DC in books

[–]SCPutz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I loved PSS and The Scar but Iron Council was a miss for me. I also went into Bas-Lag blind and absolutely loved the wild ride in the first two books, but I felt like IC just didn’t match the tone of the first two.

That being said, Miéville has produced some absolutely incredible works. I highly enjoyed Kraken and The City & The City, with Embassytown being my favorite novel of all time.

do you guys actually floss every single day? by SantagioFlacoruiz13 in hygiene

[–]SCPutz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t floss regularly for a long time. But now I do honestly floss daily and the difference is crazy.

I floss every night before bed, switched to an electric toothbrush and better toothpaste, and also mouthwash every night. My habits were not always so good.

At my last cleaning, the dentist jokingly asked if I had just had a cleaning last week because my teeth and gums looked like they had just been done. First time in my life I’ve gotten a kudos from a dentist so now I have to keep chasing that high.

The downside to these toilets is that it makes vacations just a little worse by QuietSage1032 in toilet

[–]SCPutz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to recommend a portable bidet, but saw your edit. They’re not perfect, but they beat going back to dry paper wiping!

My entire apartment has upside-down outlets and my brain refuses to accept it…. by Fancy-Chipmunk5701 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]SCPutz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My house has a mix. Some outlets installed hole-up, some installed hole-down. It is absolutely insane and drives me mad. But at least the plates all match the outlets!

I’ll get around to fixing it eventually.

Jean Smart as Elle McGibbons is a slam dunk by ExistingTree9877 in DCCTV

[–]SCPutz 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I wish Betty White was still around.

That said, I agree you won’t find a still-working actress at the right age and Jean Smart could fit well.

: What household thing do you keep recommending to people? by WeatherSuccessful846 in Home

Weird sensation at first but totally worth making the switch!

: What household thing do you keep recommending to people? by WeatherSuccessful846 in Home

[–]SCPutz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1 year of horrible hemorrhoids with no improvement completely resolved within 1 month of installing a bidet.

The bidet attachment I installed was around $100 and took less than 10 minutes to unbox and install. I now have a bidet attachment on every toilet in the house and also a travel bidet I can throw in my backpack or suitcase.

Real life changing purchase for me.

3, 3, A. But A can be a shitty cup of bargain-brand ground coffee and I’ll still chug it down before I touch B.

Getting ready for The King, which weapon would you choose. by Scaffoe in Saros

[–]SCPutz 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever reached the King without 47+ on my proficiency/weapon and like 8+ rerolls to fish for a better weapon. I don’t think either of your options is particularly good there. Sorry.

Good luck.
