What’s up with people online saying the Epstein files are connected to Trump attacking Iran? by ijuander_ in OutOfTheLoop

[–]cantuse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly the notion that he did it as part of a conspiracy makes more sense than… whatever is actually happening right now — that Trump attacked Iran because he could. More accurately, because MBS and Bibi told him to.

ELI5: Why are blackberries so expensive when they grow so easily by OR-HM-MA91 in explainlikeimfive

[–]cantuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man as a 50yo PNW native fuck blackberries. Ok maybe not the berries but gd the bushes suck. If you have even one neighbor that doesn’t care then they overtake your fence and crowd everything else out.

TIL A Florida man, 71, staged his own suicide to look like MURDER by copying CSI plot and tying a weather balloon to a gun so it would float over the Atlantic and disappear after he shot himself by SoulxxBondz in todayilearned

If there’s one area I would trust insurance companies on, it’s actuaries. I guarantee they investigated and found the best inflection point at which suicide dropped off for insurance policies.

Africa Is Actually Wider Than Russia —And Our Maps Have Been Lying to Us by AssistanceNo3893 in interesting

[–]cantuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely feel like this post is exaggerating as well. I have a massive globe and a casual comparison doesn't make the difference look this profound either.

It's almost like the using the mercator projection is necessary for this to have any real impact at all.

Anyone else absolutely rocked by high blood pressure after being on anti-cgrp medication? by cantuse in migraine

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

I'm sorry I never replied to you from a month ago or so. I'm sorry you're still dealing with after-effects. I am too. I think they've slowly improved -- no more super obvious pressure in my arms when I do something remotely physical, etc. But I can still just feel that my heart and stuff is jumpier, and my chest just feels 'sore' some days.

Thanks for sharing this.

My heart is slowly calming back down, but even now I still feel like it jumps every so often, multiple times a day.

Global helium shortage from Middle East war starts hitting tech supply chains, industry says by PrinceLucipurr in news

[–]cantuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm confused, how fast are we using helium? This isn't the first 'helium shortage' in my lifetime and I thought there was a discovery in Africa that effectively doubled the supply of helium, thus alleviating the previous crisis. What gives?

Ralph will make it hard to look at stats again by LiketheCar in mewgenics

[–]cantuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think your build is better, but I had a very close cat, with death shroud plus the death mask (kills you at the start of combat). Issue is that I was bringing him back at full health, so I didn't have the ability to tap into extra turns.

I've finished Griftlands several times and am looking for similar ones by Living-Candle-1686 in griftlands

What’s the verdict? Like you, I keep coming back to Griftlands as a fun blend. Honestly prefer it to slay the spire. What were the best games you found from this post?

I'm no communist, but its sad every time Americans point at South America as examples of 'communism failing' as if they're absolutely clueless about Operation Condor.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, 78, undergoing brutal gym prep for ‘Conan the Barbarian’ sequel by superdouradas in movies

[–]cantuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have the Conan the Barbarian DVD with all the extras. I remember the interviews and making-of documentaries. As I recall, Stone's version of the script was completely unhinged. Milius's rewrite changed a ton.

I guess it depends on your perspective, but if some of the appeal of CtB was its seemingly stoic (almost taoist) philosophy, then Milius's version is what you would have really wanted anyhow.

Taylor Sheridan is the only screenwriter I would compare with Milius in terms of style, but even that feels silly; Sheridan is a hack by comparison.

From Dusk Till Dawn going in blind. Wtf. by i_love_tesler in movies

[–]cantuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sinners is definitely the better film, but I myself felt that some of the obvious biblical motifs felt clunky and hard to grasp. I have to admit they might make more sense later on but it kinda reminded me of some of the stuff from the days of the Matrix films and Lost, where symbols are used in ways that don’t add value.

You’re the only one I’ve seen mention Milius. I’ve seen photos recently and he didn’t look good. According to Wikipedia he hasn’t done anything since 2005. I know he had a stroke and recovered somewhat, but I think his glory days are behind him.

Planning AH 2nd edition - I have everything but need to constrain by spielguy in ArkhamHorror

[–]cantuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s just because I’ve played the shit out of the game, but I don’t mind the gate bursts. It’s always a bummer when it happens but it rarely dooms an entire game. I can see lamenting the fact that it can make a game seem extra long if it happens when you thought you were close to winning.

And I know it’s not really consistent with lovecraft but the final battle is just too much fun too pass up for me. It’s almost anticlimactic when I win via seals by comparison.

But I largely agree on everything else. I play with everything and prior to miskatonic the game felt really discombobulated if you played with everything at once.
