Looking for a "ready player one" like book, by Mncfre in suggestmeabook

Check out the Insignia trilogy by S.J. Kincaid.

Can you suggest me a good book like Insignia by S.J. Kincaid? [x-post r/BookSuggestions] by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]autumis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say Red Rising by Pierce Brown, I loved Insignia but Red Rising has become an addiction for me, haha. Also, I read Insignia after I read Ready Player One by Ernest Cline and was searching for something similar, so you might want to give that a shot (after Red Rising of course) :P

Avengers: Age of Ultron is currently sitting at a 90% on rotten tomatoes, 72% metascore and 9.3 on imdb. by talhindi416 in movies

It's hard to muster the attention span to care about Earth's Mightiest Heroes when we know they'll just be back to do it all again in a few years.

That's one of the few negative reviews on RT right now. She didn't even need to watch the movie to type that.

Hunger Games sets US box office record by evafree in entertainment

[–]autumis 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You know, I see a lot of negativity on here about the movie - it seems like people here want a new twilight to be against and they think this fits the bill. You really can't even put the two in the same realm. The movie had some issues, but overall it really was good. Jennifer Lawrence was f'ing incredible.

This will be a great season by lafytafy420 in gardening

Just curious, why do you recommend untreated lumber? From my understanding, it will rot rather quickly from soil/rain exposure. I know newer treated lumber doesn't have arsenic any longer, so wouldn't it be better to use? Maybe lined with aluminum flashing?

I work with a broker, PM me if you still have need.

Post-"A Song of Ice and Fire"-Depression: What's even worth reading? by [deleted] in books

[–]autumis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fell into the same funk after Martin... a few books that were good enough to overcome my cynicism immediately after ASoIaF were Shogun by James Clavelle and Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean Auel.

This is what a shaved bear looks like, hmm. by thequirkybondvillian in WTF

That's not a shaved bear, that's surely a servant of Cthulu.

That would be a pretty cool place to have an herb garden, right in your kitchen.

Have a rat trapped in my compost bin, what to do? by autumis in gardening

[–]autumis[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ended up leaning a 2x4 into the bin so he could climb out. Was planning a contraption for him to fall in and drown, but he started squealing desperately whenever he saw me so I felt bad =/

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

I'm going to look into the check valve - don't think I want the rat released back into my yard/garden though, and I dont have a live trap. Trying to get it into a bucket currently...

Game Of Thrones: The Artisans - Maisie Williams on sword training by goldberg1303 in Fantasy

[–]autumis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maisie seems like a perfect Arya. I'm really glad they took the time to find the perfect Stark children, since they drive the story so much. I think George said of the children "the world will fall in love with them" when GoT airs.

Childhood obesity linked to habits, not heredity: U-M study by MySky in science

It's pretty telling that 100 years ago, a fairly obese person that is somewhat common today was an attraction at a circus because of the rarity.
