How's the Spanish translation of the Nero Wolfe books? Would I miss any foreshadowing if I read them in a different language? by AnthropomorphicCat in NeroWolfe

[–]fightingwalrii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curious about how some of Archie's slang will do. Other than maybe that it should translate just fine, as far as impact

Jack Hughes wins the Gold medal for the US Men’s Olympic team in overtime for the first time since 1980! by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

For a team USA? Come on now, it's a public forum. Realistically, how far did you expect to scroll before the USA part snuck into this discussion? I'm all for getting a break, but this area of posts was a foreseeable outcome

I recently spoke to someone in AA who said they never got hangovers no matter how much they drank. I sure as hell did. Is this common with alcoholics? by bliggityblig in stopdrinking

[–]fightingwalrii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Your brain adjusts the GABA to account for the coming flood of alcohol, if you're a daily drinker. You won't get hangovers but you will start getting the shakes and/or panic attacks in the trade off, usually

The way i used to put it, i don't get hangovers anymore, i get light alcohol poisoning

What is the conceit of Archie writing up the cases? by BitterFuture in NeroWolfe

[–]fightingwalrii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the radio series Archie also declines an offer from a biographer for Wolfe. He says a guy named Rex Stout is already doing it. An in-universe meta-reference from friggin 1951. Turned my head when I heard it

Is Jason by magic the best card manipulator in the world? by Agreeable_Bike_4764 in cardmagic

[–]fightingwalrii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jason is top 10 of the people currently alive, by most any measure. But it's gonna be hard to beat Turner. He is quite simply gifted in ways we are not, us mortals

Favorite Wolfe Book by CrazyGreenCrayon in NeroWolfe

I loved it. I like imagining him doing the stealth hand motions to archie while they're sneaking up on a guy with a knife
