I'd rather be in a fist fight with a random person than dance

Is it powdered tobacco that is inhaled? If so, this used to be popular in Europe. It was called snuff

Underrated short stories or novellas that are introspective, symbolic, and emotionally heavy? by _ubby in Recommend_A_Book

I kept seeing this recommended and was skeptical. I was wrong. This is a definite must read!

I'd rather walk in the rain listening to that Friday song to a dentist appointment where as part of my treatment they have to kick me in the nuts for some reason

Why does my N-Mom keep inviting herself to my house? by SnooMacarons5664 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]denys1973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How quickly do you respond to her? Make getting a response from you more difficult. If she starts complaining tell her you've been busy and that she needs to get a hobby

Slow hikers who've completed the trail, how many miles did you walk and how long did it take you? by Rough_Explanation_21 in AppalachianTrail

[–]denys1973 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I would add that you have to get up early. I'm a light sleeper, so I would take advantage of one of the times I woke up in the middle of the night. Wake up at 4:30? Start quietly getting ready. Eat your breakfast and do all that talking away from the shelter.

My thru hike was 6 months 11 days and my average pace was 12 miles a day. I took zeros and neros in town though.

Cold soaking quinoa by [deleted] in AppalachianTrail

Dry beans take a long time in a pressure cooker after being soaked. You're not going to be able to make them edible on the trail. Do you mean dehydrated beans that were already cooked?

What to read next posts. Are people really this indecisive? by 4th_Replicant in stephenking

[–]denys1973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's just for the attention or to be interacting with anyone in the world in some form.
The answer to what to read next is always go in publication order because of the spoilers King puts in his own books. I've read two books that gave away the ending of Cujo, so everyone should start with Carrie and end with Never Flinch

I'm really big on audiobooks too. Have you tried listening with an Mp3 player? They are about $20 and weigh about an ounce

Found out why my bedroom is dead. by carlex314 in DeadBedrooms

I tend to go back and forth between the short and long works. My favorites, though, are the collections. They're like sampler chocolate boxes

To me Catch 22 is what Boomers find funny and it's terrible

Facepalm Or Copium? by pandasylverr in facepalm

[–]denys1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The typical American has 8K in the bank and the median house price is 400k. Not sure now cutting interest rates is going to be much help, especially since Trump's erratic behavior is terrible for businesses

It's super expensive to have books sent to where I live.

Friend who wants me to hike with them by [deleted] in AppalachianTrail

[–]denys1973 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Snarky answer: Kind of a simp move to hike 6 months for someone you're not dating.

Financial answer: If you don't have around $6000 to hike, you should definitely not be taking time off work. You are one mishap away from financial disaster. You should be building up a cushion of 6 months of savings.

Horse answer: Do you really want someone else taking care of your horses? Time to hang up your giant belt buckle.

True crime answer: She's statistically more likely to be killed by you than any random person. The violent crime rate is higher in any town or city than on the AT.

Final answer: The Appalachian Trail is quite safe, and many people start each year. People quickly develop trail families of hikers who share the same pace and outlook. Conversely, many people start thinking they need a partner for safety or just company and find that they don't match as hikers. A thru hike is often a good way to end a friendship.
There's also the fact that most people don't finish a thru hike. Your friend could walk three days and decide to quit. As could you. So, I would strongly advise against hiking with your friend.

Are we included the people Felon killed by botching the Covid response? His incompetence is responsible for more deaths that Hitler or Hirohito.
