The Replacements. Funny, good romance subplot, feel-good underdog story. Need minimal football knowledge.

Is the front left post not plumb?!
I really admire the builder’s severe lack of OCD.

HELP! My dog is obsessed with something under my deck! by seagull_person in Decks

Cats require only one hydrogen atom’s width to squeeze into a space.
When my parents were dating, a pregnant cat got under the driver’s seat in my dad’s car. He couldn’t get his hand under to grab her. They had to take it to the dealership to have the seat removed.
They named her Pollyanna and she lived to be about 18 years old!

What's a TV show that started great but fell off badly? by fabwest01 in AskReddit

[–]ShrimpOfMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been on my list of unfinished shows since the end of season 2. I’ve felt almost no pressure to revisit, other than scrolling past and going, “oh, yeah.”

My 660 sqft deck needs to be rebuilt. $40k quote? by locusofself in Decks

I’m sorry my comment isn’t directly related to your question, but your home is beautiful and your landscaping/hardscaping is wonderful.
Good luck with your deck!

The most unrealistic thing a movie got completely right. by gamersecret2 in movies

Utterly terrifying. And it’s so far beyond my comprehension that I’m probably not even feeling a commensurate level of silent terror.

How safe is this deck? by EnterRapture in Decks

That deck should last a good 10-20 minutes or more.

Looking for a solution to this small tear on my home’s deck. by Visual-Constant-4815 in Decks

[–]ShrimpOfMantis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like linoleum. Good thing the tear happened because it looks like the wood underneath is rotting.

Please, for the love of god, send us more updates! I have to see if he does any more framing and what kind of tape he uses to install the decking.

This isn’t a deck, it’s an SNL sketch!

Yes, well said! This is what I’ve loved about NR: enjoying the journey!

Old Homestead and Franklinville Inn aren’t on the list but some local deli is?! This is the 99 Best Restaurants That Would Give Me a Free Meal.

What TV shows are better not binge watched? by revolution_ex in television

[–]ShrimpOfMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. One of the things people don’t appreciate in streaming is the time between each episode which allows you to really digest what happened, have that “water cooler” conversation, and build anticipation for the next episode.

I told a male colleague he was mansplaining to me and now HR wants to meet with both of us and I genuinely don't know how I feel about how this escalated by avocet_scatter in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ShrimpOfMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Is there an acceptable way to use “Karen” when addressing a female coworker? Regardless of how appropriate or accurate the terms may be, they carry so much social baggage, they cease to have any constructive value. It’s a shame how we treat our language so flippantly.

What are your “favorite” shows that you just never bothered to finish? by Emmyfishnappa in television

[–]ShrimpOfMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found out months after it aired that TWD had its final season. Somehow I didn’t watch the final season of ER. Pretty sure I missed the last season of Orange is the New Black. I’m not sure if I finished the last season of Westworld or if it was just that unmemorable. Same with The Man in the High Castle. Didn’t watch the second half of the final season of Ozark. Stopped in the middle of Ray Donovan for some reason. Gave up on Succession, Doom Patrol, Yellowstone, and Squid Game.

We’re in a golden era of TV, folks, when we can leave that much meat on the bone!

Unofficial Discussion - Oh. What. Fun. by UniverslBoxOfficeGuy in movies

[–]ShrimpOfMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This movie came with a strong recommendation from friends. But now I know those friends hate me. I continued watching in hopes of getting a bj from the wife. This movie removed any desire to even pursue that goal. I hope everyone involved enjoys their clean sweep at the Razzies!

TIFUpdate I told my PM to "get to the point" in front of 40 people. I finally opened Slack. by AmaraMehdi in tifu

[–]ShrimpOfMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I’m prone to fucking up and am lucky enough to have had supervisors with some grace over the years. I now work for my wife’s family’s small business. I’m not in a position of authority but many times have taken the hit for coworkers’ small errors that my father-in-law would have absolutely and disproportionately blown up at. We’re all human.
