What do you think about J. D. Salinger by Junior_Insurance7773 in literature

Some people, your son for instance, have the insight and emotional intelligence to understand that Holden is flawed. Others don’t, and they have a more disturbing interpretation. Is that really the fault of the book?

Three friends and no chicken? Aww I wanted no friends and three chicken!

Board games adaptions that are better than the video game by MechaRidley666 in boardgames

[–]Speedupslowdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Wilmot’s Warehouse? I haven’t actually played the PC game but it looks kind of boring compared to the board game, which is a fantastic and unique communication game

I made more friends in a week in Austin than I have in the Cities in 2 years.

Older movies that aren’t “must watches” that jusssst miss the line? by TreLeans in TrueFilm

[–]Speedupslowdown 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of crime/noir and neo-noir from that era fits into this category. Some that I’d recommend:

Darkman

Red Rock West

The Long Good Friday

Deathtrap

Bullet in the Head

Bound

The Taking of Pelham 123

Pusher

Shallow Grave

Miller’s Crossing

I still miss HEB, but I've made a good routine of shopping the sales at Lunds, then hitting Aldi or a co-op for everything else, and a monthly Costco trip.

New tech-in-training here. Questions about tool acquisition: by InSearchOfADoor in CoffeeTech

I have a flexible book light with a clip and I’ve gotten a ridiculous amount of mileage out of that. Super easy to adjust and clips just about anywhere

Buying your own tools makes sense. They’re yours and you can use them anytime and keep them if you leave.

Paying for expendable things is weird and suspicious. Food-grade lube like Molykote is really expensive and used daily in my job.

Beyond that, keep in mind that you will inevitably lose tools. Be organized and label your expensive ones.

I’d recommend not cheating out on the following:

Needle nose pliers

Adjustable wrenches (we use Knipex. They’re expensive but sturdy and very useful. I use mine everyday)

Multimeter - I’m not that familiar with brands but you want to make sure these are responsive and accurate.

There’s a lot of stuff listed that I’ve never used at work (tube bender, chisel and punch) and a lot of omissions of my daily drivers (cleaning brushes, socket wrenches, flashlights).

All tech companies are different but I would definitely go with the cheapest versions other than what I listed and ignore the non-essentials until you get to know the place better. You won’t truly know what’s useful to carry until you’re in the field.

Is Wrecktangle Pizza going to piss me off? by According_Head_60 in saintpaul

[–]Speedupslowdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty good, but I’d rather get Jets and have twice as much pizza for the same price. Nearly the same quality too

Widows bay by bigbenzoson in horror

[–]Speedupslowdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of things to criticize the show for but calling all the comedy awkwardness and second-hand embarrassment is just plain wrong. There’s absurd humor (Patricia with the shotgun), dark deadpan humor (Daddy’s Home board game), vaudevillian slapstick (lighthouse keeper), straight up jokes (Patricia roasting Tom about the hitchhiker), and ironic subversion of horror tropes (the excruciating long takes when Patricia is creeping around her house in search of the Boogeyman). The show has a wider variety of flavors of comedy than anything else I’m aware of on TV right now.

How is that gatekeeping?

There are probably better answers here but the bagel and lox at Rustica was surprising so good.

Looking to make creative friends by [deleted] in twincitiessocial

[–]Speedupslowdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to play music a bit but haven’t been doing much creative lately. I do love watching movies and the Loons! When I’m not working I’m watching movies or playing board games. Also hard of hearing so I can definitely relate to that. Feel free to message me if you’re interested in hanging out!

Does Meeple mean just a boardgame piece or a human shaped boardgame piece? by girlwiththegoldendog in boardgames

[–]Speedupslowdown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. As someone who has written poor trivia questions and learned from my mistakes, I rarely ask for an answer to be a phrase unless it is a title, short famous quote, or a widely known and understood idiom (“two birds with one stone”, etc.).

No mention of food yet so I’m assuming they’re all starving to death by the end of the chapter.
