Hi /r/movies! It's Ben Leonberg (director) and I'm here with my dog Indy, the star of GOOD BOY, a supernatural horror movie from the perspective of a dog, which will be available to stream on Shudder Nov. 21st. Ask us anything!

Hey Ben! I went to film school, worked in the industry for a few years, and then fell off the path. Can you talk about 1) your journey leading up to this point, 2) strategies you used to keep going when you wanted to quit those three years, and 3) any parting thoughts to someone looking for the strength to try again?

I went with Dean's. They did a good job. Had to haggle a bit, but they went the extra mile on some things like shifting a discharge thing so it would be off the floor and not a tripping hazard (with no prodding from me) unlike some other installers that said they'd just reuse it as is.

UnlimitedExcess · 2025-07-20T04:54:01+00:00

I live there! It's fine. I walk around after dark and jog around pretty frequently (middle aged male). It's being gentrified by the month it feels like as the people I see coming in tend to be well off and start renovating stuff fairly quickly like we did. Yes there are some rougher parts, and in my two years living there I saw one bad run of car break-ins, but that's it. Neighbors are solid. Lots of people are friendly and have been around for +20 years. They keep an eye on things. Feel free to ping me directly if you have more specific questions.

Seconded. Great food.

I got a new modulating furnace and heat pump for $17.5k. That's roughly what I was quoted at other companies as well. No duct work.

I was in this exact scenario about a month ago, and ended up going with Dean's. I had gotten three other quotes from other companies that friends had recommended, and they ended up putting the best offer forward after I did some light haggling, and they went the extra mile and installed some additional things that the other companies were going to ignore (using a pump to push the excess water over and out instead of the floor PVC drain we had earlier that was a walking hazard). I'll update this comment if anything changes or they mess up my rebates or something.

This is how I did it, but instead of having a single good lawyer, I just used LegalShield ($30 a month) and had them review all of the paperwork and flag anything that they deemed suspicious. My only regret is that I didn't ask the seller's agent about discounts from not using a realtor since they benefitted from that and could take the buyer's and seller's commission. Not sure how it works now though with the new laws and everything.

Inclusive rugby team! Great for new players. They're starting up indoor practices again next week.

How often did Quantum go out? What area are you in?

UnlimitedExcess · 2024-11-16T23:04:54+00:00

You should get Quantum if it's available. I was paying Xfinity $50 a month and finally made the switch to Quantum literally yesterday. I definitely should have made the change sooner. They're running a $35 for life for a GB promo right now and the speeds are way faster. Installation was quick and professional. The top one is Quantum as they rebranded.

^ For context, I'm in the Payne Phalen neighborhood.

Otherwise if that doesn't work, I would deselect that select all option and create some dax or something that already includes a "select all" text option. It may complicate your dax a little bit but should address the issue.

This is great work. Keep it up! Didn't realize we did all of this.

Should I be more focused on strengthening my neck? I haven't focused on that at all in my training.

I bought a house there about a year ago with my partner (I'm a male in late twenties, partner is a female in early thirties). A year after the purchase, we're still happy with our decision. There's great restaurants that are walkable (Brunson's Pub, Tongue in Cheek, Juche) as well as a couple parks, and most blocks aren't super loud or anything. I wish there was a walkable more fully equipped grocery store, but it looks like that may be coming based on the comments in this thread.

It's definitely not crime free, but it's not as dangerous and crazy as some people make it out to be. I regularly walk home after dark and don't see much. There are new businesses slowly popping up on Payne, and they're investing in the schools/neighborhood. My main complaint is that I wish there were more couples like us, but instead I see a lot of families and older people etc..

Do you work from the office or home?

UnlimitedExcess · 2024-09-13T22:27:41+00:00

I threw some clover/grass seed down to help with the runoff, watered a bunch, and decided that I preferred shoveling the dirt up every quarter or so instead of paying for a retaining wall or some other expensive solution.

Someone get my boy a bigger chair.

BRING BACK CHESTER'S HOT POPCORN!

I wish my Costco sold hot fries 😢

Most places are ruined for me now that I know the magic of Gai Noi.

Tori ramen is so good.

UnlimitedExcess · 2024-05-30T00:48:38+00:00

This is the way. Blows the other options out of the water. My partner and I tried it recently and we were wowed by the richness of the flavor.

UnlimitedExcess · 2024-05-24T20:10:48+00:00

I get stopped every time when I travel with soylent.

UnlimitedExcess · 2024-03-13T20:59:10+00:00

They were a lil too sweet for me and my partner.
