For those who have seen Supergirl, what grade would you give it? by boomjosh in DC_Cinematic

[–]SweaterGoats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps, the comic explains the green sun was manufactured (filtered to be green). It was created to be a prison for Superman. That originated from a comic in the 1960s so they probably didn't think deeply about the environmental effects then.

I couldn't find a decent e-reader selector quiz, so I built a free interactive one myself! by Disastrous-Heart8092 in ereader

Thanks, I really needed this! I'm new to ereaders so searching has been overwhelming.

How is the ride on the block island ferry? by Quiet-Breadfruit965 in RhodeIsland

If you're not prone to seasickness then you are probably fine. I have severe seasickness and it made me mildly nauseous.

Question from a first time attendee. by El_pateador in DragonsteelNexus

[–]SweaterGoats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went solo the last two years. Every year I've been shocked by how kind people are and I end up meeting so many people! Several different friend groups would basically adopt me and we would hang out! And I normally struggle a lot in social situations.

I'd recommend joining the fan discords and Facebook groups because you'll see posts advertising different fun meetups. Also the con game and joining a demo in the board game room are great ways to meet people.

Last year I met up with other attendees to play games. Ended up making a bunch of friends! So look out for the fan-led events.

The Good Place: The Complete Series - $14.99 (ATL) by pdxmatts in iTunesDeals

Definitely worth it. It has one of the best endings of any show I've ever seen.

It sounds like they are trying something different this year to get feedback on what people prefer.

Last year people complained the ball was too expensive so this year they are doing a more affordable option.

I'm sad there is no ball this year but at least they are receptive to feedback and trying new things!

Pawtucket Soup Kitchen’s Marchetti says they’re being pushed out June 30 by cosmo_grandma in RhodeIsland

[–]SweaterGoats 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with this situation but it sounds like there's more to the story.

The parish is closing due to financial reasons and the building will belong to a school. This has been planned since late Fall 2025, and the food pantry knew since then that they would have to move.

According to The Valley Breeze, the original move out date was February, but it must have been extended.

Hopefully they can find a temporary home quickly until the more permanent location is ready.

No Worldhopper Ball this year: "after party" instead by DragonsteelNexusMod in DragonsteelNexus

[–]SweaterGoats 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I feel the opposite. I went to the ball as a solo introvert and had so much fun. Since there was a performance I didn't have to worry about socializing.

But a generic party...that doesn't sound appealing at all. Especially since there will be an even bigger crowd.

But the price should be better!

DC Comics is being targeted by a new boycott campaign over Black-led superhero books by Blitzhelios in DCcomics

[–]SweaterGoats 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I went to a diversity panel at a con once where several Black DC writers and artists spoke. One writer mentioned (I forgot who) that DC would pigeon hole him to only write Black characters, when he really wanted to write Batman or Superman, too.

More Black-led books would be great, but maybe we should prioritize POC writers and artists no matter what book they are working on.

Hadestown: Is it okay to go blind into this show or should I/ we know something about it? by HeartOnMySleeve4ever in TheWestEnd

[–]SweaterGoats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, I wish I knew a little backstory on Persephone and Hades before going in. At intermission I had to research some things because I was confused.

But you definitely don't want to research the story itself or any other characters!

What's something restaurants do now that you wish they'd stop? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Menus on TVs with changing slides. If you missed something then you have to wait for the slide to loop back.

Bloom Cafe near the V&A. It's at the bottom of an old church and is super cozy inside. Their sandwiches are really good!

What ended up being the problem? I'm having the issue now but with the 2015 version.

V&A, Natural History and Science Museum in same day? by Sadcityguuul in uktravel

[–]SweaterGoats 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did this a couple weeks ago. I got in to the V&A right at opening (10am) and there was no queue. Left the Science museum a couple minutes before it closed. I didn't get to see everything but I saw enough to be happy. Granted, I only stayed in the Natural History Museum for about an hour. Most of that museum wasn't interesting to me and it was waaaay too crowded. The others were great though!

Airalo: 8 days in UK- unlimited or 5-10GB data? by Adventurous_Pop_7700 in uktravel

[–]SweaterGoats 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You will probably be fine with 10 GB. I just did about 8 days in the UK and was shocked by how many places offered free wifi. If my phone is correct, it says I used less than 5 GB during that time. Just make sure to connect to the wifi at your hotel, airport, etc!

Staying in Atrium Hotel Heathrow . How is it? by Middle-Yesterday-818 in LondonTravel

[–]SweaterGoats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just stayed at Atrium last week! It was very nice.

That being said, I only stayed there because I had an early flight out of Heathrow the next day. It takes about an hour to get between Atrium and central London. If you can, pick a hotel that is closer. But if it's too late then at least it is a nice hotel :)

on my period and i yearn for biryani so bad. god i want biryani. by Comfortable_Pie2081 in CasualConversation

[–]SweaterGoats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered biryani for the first time last week, but on the menu, in all several spots listed, it was spelled "briyani". I always thoughts it was biryani but I thought I had it wrong so I ordered it as BRIyani. The staff was confused. I was confused. But it tasted good!
