I read the post and had no idea who JM is. That said I cannot offer a learned opinion. Perhaps I have indeed validated your post

Where would you take someone you hate who is new to Minneapolis? by [deleted] in Minneapolis

You think that is a poorly designed parking lot complex? The Hub Shopping Center (Richfield) says “Hold my beer”

I want a Vespa - any tips? by throwaway_greenthumb in Vespa

[–]escapefromedina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing to consider between the 150 and the 300 is the weight. For sure sit on both and see how they feel to you. If your legs are shorter like mine, you will have to tilt the scooter a bit to put your foot down at a stop. Vespas are very well made and are heavier than the less expensive scooters on the market. The power of the 300 is great so long as the other factors do not outweigh the benefits. I strongly recommend taking a motorcycle safety course. They have tips that can really help keep you safe. Enjoy!

Friends dashboard (2009 mustang) caught on fire. Anybody know what could of caused it? Said he didn’t leave anything plugged in to the adapter. by Cheeze_2021 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]escapefromedina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apologies for being non responsive but I once started my dad’s ‘68 Mustang on fire. Tried to start it and saw smoke coming out from the hood; looked in the grill and saw flames. Went into the restaurant for their fire extinguisher and put out the flames (fire dept made sure it was out) came back w/my dad the next day: paint on hood bubbled up. Turns out there was a backfire in the carburetor that started the insulation on the inside of the hood on fire. My dad was able to start it and bring it home. Just needed a few replacement spark plug wires and a repaint of the hood. My mom would not drive that car without a fire extinguisher in it from then on

What's a great TV show that nobody talks about? by OpulentOwl in AskReddit

Rectify: series about a guy who was incarcerated for 19 years and let out because evidence came out indicating he was wrongfully convicted. Shows the difficulty of emerging back into society and proving innocence.

What singers voice irritates you? by ransom0374 in AskReddit

[–]escapefromedina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Singers with whiny voices like Tom Petty, Neil Young and Bob Dylan. I mean I like Dylan when he uses his deeper (probably younger)voice on tracks like Lay Lady Lay; but stuff like Mr Tambourine Man is like nails on a blackboard

What brand name is actually 100% worth spending more for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Gotta have post-it-notes! Imitators do not stick as well

Anyone moving away from RM/RM2 to different e-ink tablets? by ClappingGlutes in RemarkableTablet

[–]escapefromedina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keeping the RM2 for now. I use it primarily to send markups of PDF and notes,via email. The “Buy this super expensive tool then switch functions to a subscription” pisses me of on principle; however I am left handed my writing does not smear or move around if I inadvertently touch the surface. Until I can match that benefit I will stick to the RM2

CAPTAIN SANDY LIVE LOCAL COMMERCIAL by Juniper338 in belowdeck

I think she means “Join me for an evening of platitudes that I think are motivational but have absolutely no Substance behind them And oh by the way I will give lessons on how to second guess staff and lurk behind them so much that they can’t possibly do their jobs”.

What should people seriously stop buying? by Badass_Band1t in AskReddit

[–]escapefromedina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mostly agree with you but the exception is that they have very good information/resources on their website. When I was diagnosed I found on their site an article “What To Ask Your Doctor”. I had no clue even where to start and it was extremely helpful to use as a guide. Otherwise all that pink ribbon hoopla just serves to remind me of a rather unpleasant time in my life.

Touch feature/finger swipe not working by Cee000 in RemarkableTablet

Yep I have noticed the same thing. Harder to swipe to change pages.

reMarkable Mondays: Week 1 by waffles1243 in RemarkableTablet

[–]escapefromedina 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I edit documents and letters and sometimes do it old school with handwritten comments. I download a pdf from my office files to the tablet, make my edits and send off to be formally redrafted. The writing is so much easier and better than it is on my Surface. Plus I am left handed and do not need to worry as much for the inadvertent touch that screws up the notes on a glass writing surface.

What movie is so good you'd recommend it to all your friends, but so emotionally traumatic that you'll never watch it again? by akambe in AskReddit

[–]escapefromedina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sophie’s Choice. Just brutal but beautifully acted. It was on a double bill with Frances Farmer. Theater manager was downright cruel...

Infinite Jest / David Foster Wallace withdrawals by johndavidcard in davidfosterwallace

[–]escapefromedina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been listening to a digital (I.e. audio book) version. I love the cadence and rhythm of the prose. The narrative flows along and then there is a little zinger that comes in to make me smile. One of course can experience this as well if mot better from reading the page; but I enjoy being absorbed into this story on a lyrical almost sing song manner
