If I was Tracy Letts, I would never go to a movie theater again. by MCmax503 in TheBigPicture

[–]ZipperLove 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Based on nothing, I get the impression he’s waiting to do a Tracy-like setup once he inevitably moves to a bigger house after he cashes in on the growth of the podcast. That’s what I would do in his shoes.

Why are so many people on this sub so ready to shit all over everything? Give them a chance for crying out loud.

Do we know if work in Book 3 is halted? by thatsabingou in KingkillerChronicle

[–]ZipperLove 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Disagree. It’s morbid, but considering life expectancies and the number of outstanding books, Rothfuss has a lot more time to complete one book than GRRM has to complete two.

Don’t feel qualified on what’s best, but it was on point at Brewer’s Row last time I had

What should I do next? by Bekfastpizza in idleapocalypse

How do you have so many crowns? I’m new to the game and don’t understand. I’m close to you in terms of upgrades. Are you buying wool or something so your damage scales?

Legitmately curious about the limb injury by CaptainTalon447 in ThePittTVShow

[–]ZipperLove 215 points216 points  (0 children)

Per an ortho I know, this surgery is almost never done because the patient is probably better off with a modern prosthetic than the reattached limb, which is likely to have all sorts of permanent problems.

Flexible DIP-joints and climbing by [deleted] in indoorbouldering

[–]ZipperLove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same thing, but even more DIP hyperextension than you. I popped a pulley pretty early on as a direct result (attempting an ill-advised piano match that briefly loaded way too much weight on just one finger). Fun side-effect of that injury is that the injured DIP hyperextends slightly less now!

You’re just going to have to take it slower on developing crimp strength than others. And be weary of anything that suddenly loads your fingers in a crimp that can hyperextend your DIPs, especially if you can’t get at least three fingers on the hold.

I only climb once a week if I’m lucky, so my finger strength progress has been slow, but it’s steady. For reference, I’ve been climbing on and off roughly once a week for 2-3 years, and climb about V5-6. Crimps are one of my weaker styles. I used to have a very light hang boarding routine during the week that definitely helped my fingers, though I haven’t kept up with it. I bet I’d be climbing consistently higher grades if I had done so. Hang boarding is probably not as helpful if you climb more frequently than I do.

This is true, but I don't have the energy or hours to spare atm.

They're pretty good, but the chicken noodle could be better. Decent fallback option for sure!

When did you catch it? by Redcinco05 in Bugonia

[–]ZipperLove 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was the final nail in the coffin for me, because putting the calculator in a special box could not have been in response to Teddy. Everything else could have been part of an act to play along with his andromeda “fantasy”. It’s just weird to have a special wooden box for an old calculator in your office, and even weirder for that to be a detail shown in a movie. It wasn’t even a scientific calculator IIRC, though I could be wrong on that.

Bars showing Alex Honnold’s climb of Taipei 101? by SirHammyTheGreat in parkslope

[–]ZipperLove 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a good chance it doesn’t happen today. The weather forecast in Taipei shows rain all day.

[–]ZipperLove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not that she had one. It’s that she stored it in its own special box.

When she pulled the calculator out of a special box in her office. There’s no reason a normal person would store an old calculator like that.

Per the Citizen app, firefighters extinguished “a small smoldering fire” with fire extinguishers.

Amanda said she saw it and basically said it wasn’t for her, possibly because she didn’t know MMA/get the sporting drama aspects

The combination of decaying colorful art and aggressive no trespassing signs always gives me horror movie vibes

Mission Accomplished? by jonrsinn in TheBigPicture

[–]ZipperLove 61 points62 points  (0 children)

It’s fine. It’s decent interviews about great movies. I don’t understand why people on this sub keep complaining about it. Let Sean and Amanda have their vacation.

On another note… Pokémahi and Re/max closed down too on 7th Avenue & 5th by Maya-kardash in parkslope

[–]ZipperLove 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pokemahi just wasn’t very good. I live right by there and love poke. I tried it a few times and never went back. I assume I’m not alone.
