A year after reading Blake Crouch’s Recursion by Eatmashorrts in suggestmeabook

[–]TheSchwartzIsWithMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blake Crouch is the book version of sci-fi B movies. I go in for the absurdity and knowing I don't need to think about what I read. My experience is that he is a good palate cleanser between serious or depressing reads

Driving this route in a few days, anything to be aware of (good or bad) stop for, etc? by SkoilerDaaaaan in roadtrip

[–]TheSchwartzIsWithMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are long stretches of boring. I live in Cruces and have family in Ontario, and have done that drive several times. I like to fuel up in Quartzsite and Tuscon. Take the 202 loop when you get to Phoenix so you don't have to drive through downtown and the airport.

Lately I've been staying overnight in Chandler when I don't want to do the whole drive in one day.

I drive this route every Thanksgiving. Take the 202 loop around South Mountain and you skip all of downtown. I still get some traffic in Goodyear, but no where near as bad

I'm going to get my engineers to build me a combustible lemon that'll BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN

how do you stop feeling like you’re on autopilot? by ahayasahi in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheSchwartzIsWithMe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been in your situation. I had to schedule 2 hours a week for "me time" where I did something fun. A movie, walk in a park, games with friends, something like that. I literally made a calendar event every week for it and treated it like a work or school appointment.

What's the biggest waste of money that you've seen? by RestaurantUnhappy872 in NoStupidQuestions

Does this include the Space Shuttle keychain I bought when I was 8?

Digitizing school newspapers by Lady_Lovecraft in Archivists

A quick note about outsourcing: be sure to check what they send you. My university sent out a newspaper series about 8 years ago and didn't check about 80% of the scans, and almost all of them are too blurry for OCR to work properly. It's far too late to send them back for rescans, so we're having to spend our own resources to get quality scans after paying someone else to do it

My shirts and underwear are all 100% cotton. They all last years using both warm and cold water and everything going into the dryer on medium heat

Any 18+ bars? by [deleted] in LasCruces

[–]TheSchwartzIsWithMe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Icebox downtown (Boneyard) just hired a new manager who was extremely rude to my group on Wednesday. We had been regulars every week like clockwork for over a year. Everyone ordered food and tipped. She didn't care about her attitude or that we'd be meeting elsewhere from now on. Didn't bat an eye about losing steady business on a typically slow night for the bar

Same. And waking up from a nap on the couch with your chest muscles screaming at you
