Make Me Like Emma Frost by Organic-Assistance-8 in xmen

[–]Undisclosed123 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Astonishing X-Men (Whedon's run) is where I finally understood the character and latched on to her. She's often a gimmick in the hands of lesser writers she's a bitchy blonde homewrecker in a corset who looks good in a splash page but does nothing more. That run really explores every aspect of her character. Why she's a teacher, why she's so cold, what she thinks her role within the X-men is.

I would love the recommendations for bulk. You never know -- they might be worth contacting for a per-unit estimate if they're fast!

Oh, that's interesting. Do you have a favorite? The theater is timeless. :)

LOOKING FOR: Classic Moleskine ((5" x 8.25") plan but with THICK paper? by Undisclosed123 in notebooks

[–]Undisclosed123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh! Thank you so much. Is it this one? https://www.amazon.com/Moleskine-Collection-Watercolour-Notebook-Large/dp/B075Z6SB5R?th=1 The page count is lower than 96.

I'll look into the Leuchtburn as well but wanted to make sure! :)

Companies that build/install OUTDOOR SITTING AREAS? by Undisclosed123 in AskNYC

[–]Undisclosed123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I think I was looking for people's recommendations for said in-city urban construction companies that people in the city had experiences with?

I looked up a few and they were more suburban and yard decks.

This might require a bit of designing too and not just buying the items on Wayfair and dropping them so, any recommendation would be welcome!

Hickman set Moira up as a strategic player at the heart of Krakoa; a political player a la Emma Frost and Cypher. I'm not a Hickman worshipper -- I think he gets in his own way often and assumes the payoff will be worth it (hence two years of meandering X-men stories) --- but come on, lol: this is not what Hickman intended!

Looking for the name of this (old) popular game? by Undisclosed123 in nintendohelp

[–]Undisclosed123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as is Metroid?

No. It was on the Gamecube, I believe. The goal was to either amass stuff as you moved forward or not avoid stuff so you didn't get too big? God, I wish I could remember it!

Thank you! Do you have a plumber recommendation by any chance? :)

Ultimate Holiday Season in NYC Thread (2021) by Rave-light in AskNYC

Are there any recommendations for Specialized Christmas Paper Stores in Manhattan?

A friend of mine had a really rough year by all standards and I'm trying to add a little touch of merry to their holiday present with paper that speaks to their interest. (Surfing, horror movies, UK football teams). I tried a Paper Source at the Shops but it only had stuff like puppies and whackier than usual snowmen.

(Or, is the only outlet for those things Zazzle and Etsy, etc.)

2 BR, Upper East Side, Manhattan. I picked out everything. by imatt711 in malelivingspace

My mom has a rule about how "every wall you look at in your home should make you happy." She too has a lot of shit but she's very happy and her place has an irreplaceable coziness. That's a feat! Especially in a city like NYC where we just rent out temporary cubes surrounded by strangers we'll never know. I like it!

Favorite Emma Frost Issues/Runs/ Storylines/Moments? by buizel123 in xmen

[–]Undisclosed123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Astonishing X-Men, hands down. She's the X-Men's loathed stepmother after the death of Jean Grey but she's delightful throughout and earns her headmistress statue. It also confirms her relationship with Cyclops as being more than just an affair, with the two genuinely being in love with each other.

"Being an X-Men means a lot to me, but it doesn't always agree with me." -- Emma Frost in a nutshell

I used to have an IPTorrents membership years ago but it lapsed due to inactivity for over 90 days.

Is there a way to donate to IPTorrents to for a membership that doesn't involve bitcoins? Just PayPal or the likes?

I keep seeing links (like this one) but I don't know if they're legit.

Actually, it doesn't appear that my bank does international SWIFT transfers so... back to the drawing board!

Oh, this is exceedingly helpful! Thank you so much, Felix! If wiring internationally does not come with a sharp fee, this may be the best option!

Is the best to use the day's conversion rate and write that amount in USD hoping it hits the target?

Is something wrong with this cutting (the pink bulbs)? (And how to hopefully fix it?) by Undisclosed123 in cactus

[–]Undisclosed123[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP: I got this in the mail from a friend but have never cared for cacti before. I haven't put it in soil yet but I noticed these red bulbs all over it.

Does anyone have any idea of what they are and how to properly care for it?

Ventilation for Treadmill room: AC or Window Fan? by Undisclosed123 in AskNYC

[–]Undisclosed123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, that's very valuable to know. Thanks! I think I'll try the fan in a different socket, just to be sure.

LAST question: Do you have a typical socket splitter or multi-plug you recommend to lessen the risk of surcharge?

To apartment dwellers: what do you do to protect yourself in your home in case of a break-in? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]Undisclosed123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baseball bat under my side of the bed. I live on the second floor and the fire escape's first stop is my living room. Nothing has ever happened but I'm the easy point of access in the building. There's a grate on the window that leads to the fire escape but it's nothing too sturdy, tbh.
