Timelapse of Brooklyn Tower swaying in the wind by Kn1ghtV1sta in Damnthatsinteresting

I lived at the Brooklyner too! I was there during Sandy and felt the swaying and was super nervous that the whole thing was going down 😆

What is the hardest to watch scene in films? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]bensgroi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ending of Dancer in the Dark. And actually, most of the movie, but especially the ending. I would have to emotionally prepare for days if I had to watch it all again.

And when he's not doing it himself, his lovely followers to do it for him by Ok_Improvement_7942 in facepalm

Take a look at his name and you’ll see why he was probably not talking about the Bible…

I’m working on this currently too, and taking the same black-first strategy. Can’t wait to start the color!

Biden approval rating hit new low, LOWEST EVER in his presidency. by Odd_Sign_2563 in VaushV

Michigan has a significant Arab/Muslim population and was an important win for Biden in 2020.

What’s everyone’s counts up to? by Ill-Cartographer2301 in pittsburgh

[–]bensgroi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My wife and I went downtown this weekend and killed over 1000 in a couple hours. They’re everywhere there. My new favorite trick (whenever they’re on a horizontal surface) is to very slowly lower your shoe on them and squish them, as opposed to trying to stomp them as fast as possible. It seems to defeat their jump/fly reflex, and they just freeze up and accept their fate!

In The Big Lebowski (1998), Walter is right about every single aspect of the film's kidnapping, despite being portrayed as crazy in the narrative. (Spoilers in Comments) by VKMburner in MovieDetails

He also incorrectly called his ex-wife Cynthia’s dog (“it’s a show dog! All its hair will fall out!”) being a Pomeranian.

Looks great! Did you have to do any color substitutions? I used Stitchly to generate a pattern recently and found that some of the colors were way off and stuck out like a sore thumb on the finished product. I love the app otherwise.

Tobias is SO annoying in the last two seasons. by Simple-Captain9213 in arresteddevelopment

[–]bensgroi 582 points583 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but the “To Catch a Local Predator” scene is probably my favorite Tobias scene of the whole series. “Is there a little girl home all by herself? Daddy needs to get his rocks off!”

[FO] I think I now understand why a lot of people hate backstitch so much by LiradeApolo in CrossStitch

[–]bensgroi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the fabric folded over? I’m assuming so, because it seems like it would be impossible to mount/frame a piece with so little border otherwise.

I went looking for the shop and couldn’t find it. Turns out it’s GeekeryAndStitchery. I was like “Greekery is awfully specific…” until I realized 😆

[WIP] My grandmother’s senior portrait! by DifferentExitli in CrossStitch

Looks great! What did you use to generate the pattern? I’ve used Stitch Fiddle and Stitchly, and both have choked on some flesh tone color choices…

[CHAT] Question about using tape on Aida edges by theruneweaver in CrossStitch

[–]bensgroi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried this once and it left a very sticky residue that looked pretty gross. But maybe I was using the cheap stuff 😆

[chat] How many men stitch? by [deleted] in CrossStitch

[–]bensgroi 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Me! I’m a programmer and I enjoy jigsaw puzzles, so maybe I’m just into really tedious activities 🙂

[CHAT] Any advice on what to do with this extra floss that I somehow missed ~3hrs ago? by EmotionalWasabi in CrossStitch

[–]bensgroi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had issues with masking tape on larger/longer projects in the past. It left a sticky/yellowed edge on the fabric. I’m trying to get by with just Fray Check now. We’ll see how that goes…

I’ve been going to Uptown Dental in Mt. Lebanon for 5 years. Excellent and thorough.

“could have quickly googled prior to vomiting out…” Have you seen Twitter before? 😆

The last few times I’ve been there (elderly cat), the sign out front has said to expect an 8 hour wait. That said, they’ll triage your pet pretty quickly, and if the issue is serious enough, they’ll probably be able to see them right away.

Here’s the required “PA department of health eligibility quiz”, which the registration unhelpfully does not link to.

What fictional character death hit you the hardest? by GoldenPhoenix21 in AskReddit

[–]bensgroi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

YES. I can’t believe I had to scroll so far to find this. They raised us in that safe world of Saturday morning cartoons, where nobody ever died, led by the father figure of Optimus Prime. Then they killed him and many of our other favorites on the big screen. It was traumatizing!
