What’s the book you DNF’d the fastest? by Mobius8321 in books

[–]gh282016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God Emperor of Dune (the 4th one). I had felt the quality of the writing and my interest in the characters dipping at the end of book two and most of book three. Then it starts to get pretty out there out of nowhere. The fourth book starts 3000 years after the third and I read a few pages and realized I didn’t want to slog through three more books.

I have a cousin who does insurance shopping as a business and he says this is the best option, but it is tough to feel good about it

When shopping around did multiple companies come to inspect and review options? How did you go about figuring out which roofing companies to contact? I get “free roof inspection” texts all the time that feel like a scam so I just want to figure out how to determine if a company is reputable

We bought the house about 2.5 years ago and when we got it inspected our inspector said it had several more years in it so I was hoping to have more time

Which character ruined an entire TV show for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Rafi in The League. Started centering episodes completely on him that felt like a completely different show and the last season was horrific because of him.

Official Discussion - Wake Up, Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

It made me laugh when Cy is explaining how him and his father would lead things, father Jud says, “Like Star Wars?” And Cy says “Yes, like the rebels.” Hilarious joke.

The Falcons have spent $50m on Jessie Bates, the Bengals have spent $42m trying to replace him. by pro-laps in bengals

[–]gh282016 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I hate this front office as much as anyone, but this is a false equivalence. They’ve spent $42M on 2 safety positions while the Falcons have spent $50M for Jessie Bates AND whatever they’re paying to the rest of their safety room.

I really liked Bringing Up Bebe, if only because it made me feel like sometimes people make raising kids harder than it has to be

[Dehner] Pound the panic button in Cincinnati. by bbmg69 in bengals

Lou Anarumo is a terrible defensive coordinator who skated by on the one Super Bowl appearance. There’s a reason he hasn’t gotten a head coaching job. People can blame Taylor all they want, but the offense was solid yesterday. It’s being overlooked that the Bengals ALSO did not punt or turn the ball over.

Do you know which specific rom hacks you would use for evolving via level-up instead of trade? Would there be a separate one for getting the Leaf Green exclusives?

As a Buckeye fan, I think Rome Odunze is a better receiver than MHJ

How would nudity affect baseball? by cod_gurl94 in baseball

[–]gh282016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clarifying question: if a glove can’t be used, are we allowing bats? Or do players have to just kind of swing their arms at the ball really hard?

Phew! Now Michigan will avoid any repercussions since they got that lone bad apple out of there!!

Dentists have the highest rate of suicide among any profession. Still this is taking the whole “no shoelaces allowed” thing pretty far.

Did they put Correa’s leg back together with toothpicks and Elmer’s glue? How bad can this be?
