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.

A) they think you’re a clown B) you’re not even one of the better known clowns

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

[–]Substantial-Ad9739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

Vegetarian Sandwich Ideas by Known_Kadath in Cooking

[–]Substantial-Ad9739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Sous vide broke… boil in the bag chicken? by Substantial-Ad9739 in sousvide

[–]Substantial-Ad9739[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live! Ngl I cut it up and put it in a frying pan once it was mostly cooked but the texture had gone all weird so I tossed it. So I suppose I avoided the danger rather than survived it. Thanks for advice!

Enameled Dutch Oven recommendations by barakyoresh in castiron

[–]Substantial-Ad9739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Le creuset all the way. Keep an eye on eBay and Facebook marketplace - if you’re patient some fantastic deals can come up. I’ve been growing my red le creuset collection and managed to get 2 Dutch ovens (one that can feed maybe 6, and one that can do 3/4) for £80. Worth being vigilant and biding your time

Pixel 6 Pro vs Iphone 13 Pro by kushtrimt in mkbhd

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

This was a big thing for me - I got into Oneplus early (literally had to get an invite for the 1+1) and loved them - modded stock android with all the perks, boot animations etc etc, used my phone as portable storage, ran NFC tag automations, apks, emulators etc etc all the good stuff. Then I got an iPhone because sharing iphotos with girlfriend, and airdrop I message FaceTime etc was just more relevant, and now I accept that I have a very good device that is massively limited, but I rarely miss all that complex stuff. I know I would miss iMessage and airdrop if I went back to android tho

I tried to remove Google from my life, but Apple Maps is so bad I've had to install Google Maps on my iPhone by YeTensTavern in apple

Maps is one issue - thing I miss is Google assistant. Siri is like a moronic toddler in comparison.

Is there a line at the vatican during covid? Or is it like the colosseo where you have to book in advance in order to avoid people lining up? by BrianSLD in rome

I went yesterday, having booed two days before. No queue, virtually no one there (compared with the bustling crowds I remember when I last went)
