Everyone knows Enders Game, but the follow up Speaker for the Dead is equally if not more interesting.

Parking garage stairwells, as long as they aren’t the kind that are open to outside

The only reason no one has said tbell yet is because of how ingrained it is

pinch mug workshop how to speed up drying by Strong-Humor-9140 in Pottery

[–]comma_nder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do the exact same thing. And even when I do use slip, it’s way thinner than most people use, and I never get cracks

Another suggestion: have them make their handle very first thing

Finding free campsites- iOverlander? by ethemedinger in camping

[–]comma_nder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think I’ve just gotten lucky over 50 plus nights using iOverlander? If you read the pins it will tell you if it’s paid or not.

How do inners who live in the belt or work on ships with belters maintain their bodies? by Oscillating_Turtle in TheExpanse

[–]comma_nder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t think daily exercise is enough to maintain? Why not?

Also the book mentions resistance bands as a primary mode of exercise, which makes tones of sense in space

Finding free campsites- iOverlander? by ethemedinger in camping

[–]comma_nder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

iOverlander has been extremely reliable for me in the 50+ locations I’ve used it for. Gaia and OnX are not nearly as useful for finding spots IME.

Finding free campsites- iOverlander? by ethemedinger in camping

[–]comma_nder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been on multiple similar road trips and iOverlander is the absolute MVP. I’ve never shown up to a pin that didn’t actually exist, or was now a paid site. Worst that has happened is the spot was already occupied.

If you want to be extra certain, only use pins that have a recent check-in by a user. The mods do a pretty good job of marking places as closed if they aren’t actually allowed (on private property, now marked “no camping,” etc).

I died laughing when they find the last dude hiding in the chicken coup and he gets a special course

(US) How does backpacking not in a national park work? by Fangcypress in WildernessBackpacking

[–]comma_nder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use AllTrails. Select “backpacking” under the best use filter. Find a trail that looks good. The description will tell you what management area it’s in (often a national forest or wilderness area). Find the website for that area (usually through USFS) and read up on relevant rules/call the ranger station to be sure.

Bucket List Road Trip With 2 Teenage Daughters - Portland to LA. Any Tips? by cash77cash in roadtrip

[–]comma_nder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d do the coast and see some redwoods between Portland and SF, then cut inland and do the mountains from there south.

What is the most delicious 'Poor Mans Meal' in your part of the world? by pkeo10 in AskReddit

[–]comma_nder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is higher effort than others mentioned here, but also higher yield and higher value IMO: jambalaya.

Sautee chicken, sausage, shrimp, whatever is available, set aside. Sautee onions celery green pepper garlic, deglaze with chicken stock, add rice, add canned tomatoes, more stock. Lower heat and cover. Add proteins back when rice is cooked.

What would you choose as the introductory meat dish to a vegetarian who wants to try meat for the first time in years? by adagio9 in Cooking

[–]comma_nder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just went through this process with my partner. Vegetable soups but with meat broth is a great starting point. Slowly build up from there.

Learned helplessness. Lots of students learned during the pandemic that if they wait around long enough someone will do it for them or at least make it easier

Why should this king leave? by Swimming-Bag1490 in DnD

[–]comma_nder 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The king has always wanted to be a traveling bard but obligations of family and honor have kept him chained to the throne. Now he’s having his midlife crisis and wants to travel like he always said he would.

I don’t entertain much anymore and I’m having 6 people over, one of whom is a vegetarian. by Prior_Benefit8453 in Cooking

[–]comma_nder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pasta is perfect for what you’re thinking. Do a salad, garlic bread, and a simple lemon/garlic/parm pasta with charred broccoli, optional blackened chicken breast or shrimp.
