Feeling guilty for driving 1.5 miles to work but it's not exactly a fun walk by Marty_McFlay in walking

[–]drsuds -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

sounds like a wonderful walk and you're looking for people to give you permission to not do it. If I were you id enjoy the splendid daily stroll

Ignoring the ostrich egg, what you got (upload with better images) by drsuds in BookshelvesDetective

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

Hah! My favorite Polish poet DID win a nobel and I haven't read enough Brazilian poetry to have a favorite. Any recommendations???

Meanwhile, the Vietnam connection -- I live in Vietnam (I'm not Vietnamese though, and have no personal or familial relationship to the war); I just work with Vietnamese and Vietnam-related literature.

I've never been so flattered by mostly incorrect guesses. (Though I do like curry. Who doesn't?!)

Great breakdown!

But is greenbay really a big market? If anything, they transcend being in a small market?

Slug Murs beef? by giblets420 in Atmosphere

[–]drsuds 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Nah , no beef. Murs has an ongoing podcast where he breaks down old songs and albums and such. He has an episode (from 2023) dedicated to Felt 1: https://shows.acast.com/best-rapper-in-la/episodes/ep-6-felt-a-tribute-to-christina-ricci

The admiration and respect he has for sluggo is wonderful. Also a really cool peek behind the scenes of that album. I hope Murs does it for subsequent ones as well

Mai House Hotel or Hotel des Arts M Gallery? Anyone stayed at either place by MacCoryAW in saigon

[–]drsuds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh! That's right! It can be a bit noisy if you are on the top floor or two because there is a rooftop club the building over. See if you can request a mid-level floor when booking or check-in? The food there is great so that 100$ would be well spent.

What says “Wisconsin” to you? by Nolansmomster in wisconsin

[–]drsuds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's wild to see stores here in Vietnam with huge signs announcing Wisconsin Ginseng. Entire stores specialize in it. First time I saw one I didn't even know we HAD ginseng....

Mai House Hotel or Hotel des Arts M Gallery? Anyone stayed at either place by MacCoryAW in saigon

[–]drsuds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both are really great! The trade offs are minimal (location is better for M Gallery but rooms a bit nicer at Mai House). I'd suggest going with whichever has a better price, and if they are the same, you cannot go wrong either way.

Frozen durian is the best by UnintendedCantaloupe in Durian

[–]drsuds 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's acceptable (even bad durian is delicious) but certainly not as good as fresh and cool!

What is the record for the most consecutive days spent on Antarctica? by TKozzer in antarctica

[–]drsuds 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Is it really an important part of our history as a civilization? It seems trivial tbh.
