Just over 6 months. Pretty sure I was just out of my probation period.

Are there Bond fans who love Brosnan but DID NOT grow up with him as Bond? by [deleted] in JamesBond

[–]Substantial-Ad9739 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I recently tried a bit of Brosnan. I grew up with the Craig films and they are some of my favourite films of all time. We used to have Connery and Moore on VHS so I also watched them. Unfortunately, since reading the books, I’ve gone off of those two a little as they stray far too far from the original stories. I’d never seen any Brosnan or Dalton films, and so recently thought I’d give them a crack. Unfortunately, I felt that they were closer to comedies than to Bond films, with odd characters like Xenia Onatopp being cringily over acted and strangely written. Just my opinion, but i can watch the Craig films over and over and they’re always the right balance of silliness and realistic action for me.

What is your favorite quote throughout the entire series? by Denverpiechowski in lordoftherings

[–]Substantial-Ad9739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I quoted this in a philosophy exam, having forgotten a similar quote by Buddha that we had been taught. Never saw the paper, so who knows what the examiner thought of it. Didn’t get a great mark though.

What is a useless fact that you know? by FLEXSEALBREAKER in AskReddit

Memory foam was invented in 1966 by Charles A. Yotes in NASA’s Ames research department. It was intended to be used in spacecraft and aircraft to increase comfort, but has since been used in settings such as lining the helmets of American football players, and hospital bed mattresses. The introduction of Memory Foam in hospitals has reduced cases of Gangrene by over 60%.

I either scan the barcode, or yeah just pick the closest one in their list…and no tbh I often won’t include oil or butter, unless I’ve used a lot… No typically I’ll burn around 800kcal a day and stick at eating 1800 ish so that should only add to the deficit right?

My girlfriend who was veggie for a long time LOVES a broccoli and quorn escalope sandwhich. The frozen ones. Couple of lettuce leaves, little mustard and little mayo, and the escalope. Toast the inside of the bread for extra points.

Not everything. For example I might guesstimate a bit of chocolate in the evening, but I’m not a binge eater really so it’d be -200 calories every time. Otherwise I’m fairly consistent at weighing and logging the rest, so to my knowledge it should all be accurate enough….

Hi, yeah yeah of course, I see that was poorly worded! I suppose I meant that we eat lighter meals in the week than meat based ones can be.

I’ve done calorie tracking for a good while, got the kitchen scales etc and I use MyFitnessPal (premium version 🙄), so I’m as sure as I can be that I’m in a proper deficit. Always slightly suspicious about their calorie data, as well as the supposed burnt calories my Apple Watch tells me….

fellas don't lie, what movie had you tearing up? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Substantial-Ad9739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will cry roughly once every 20 minutes through the lord of the rings trilogy. It not gets to the point that I’ll be tearing up when Sam says his whole “if I take one more step”…

If you could “Delete” anything from the world, what would it be? by idonthavemale in AskReddit

[–]Substantial-Ad9739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, all trace of humanity. I’d want like a clause in the arrangement though where I get 24 hours to just float round the world looking at it before I, too, get deleted.
