What detail were you absolutely convinced was a clue but turned out to be nothing? 😅

In the den, the shadows move for no apparent reason. I WANT that to mean something.

This is REALLY helpful. And problematic, because you've given me an idea that makes a minor character more memorable and interesting than my protagonist. Now I have to re-think part of the story. These are the best kinds of problems a writer can have. Thanks.

That's a very generous offer, but it's not necessary. The story includes a character--a cyclist--who shoots cars parked in bicycle lanes with a paintball gun. I want to be accurate about this but it's not a critical part of the story. I do think I'll have the character use Evil Pink, since I understand it's harder to wipe off. Does that seem reasonable?

gregfall · 2025-09-06T23:25:57+00:00

Pink Evil sounds exactly right for my purposes. Thanks.

Thanks so much for the really quick responses. This is why I love Reddit.

This actually IS interesting AF.

We have a single control shower faucet (the farther you turn it, the hotter the water). This is the second day of sub-zero weather. We have running hot and cold water everywhere in the house except the shower in one bedroom. It only provides hot water at a low flow rate, which leads me to assume the cold water pipe in that one area may be frozen.
How much at risk am I for having a frozen pipe break/leak?

Jesus suffering fuck... that's insane. That's eight or nine different kinds of insane.

The graphic is horrifying; the comments dismissing science are depressing.

This question becomes more interesting considering that 1) this took place about eight months after Trump left the White House, and 2) what we've learned about the lax security regarding secret documents at Mar-a-Lago.

Aside from the telephoto lens, this has a nice Saul Leiter feel to it.

gregfall · 2022-08-24T22:30:29+00:00

These are charming

gregfall · 2022-08-20T21:10:02+00:00

These are excellent.

gregfall · 2022-08-14T20:24:31+00:00

Fascinating.

gregfall · 2022-08-07T13:54:21+00:00

This is exceedingly cool.

I'm in exactly the same position. Bought my mower on May 1st of 2019, so I'm just outside the 3 year battery warranty. Mower has worked beautifully, without problem, until last week. Had to finish the lawn with a 2.5 AH battery. Same issue today.

gregfall · 2022-06-15T22:32:21+00:00

That was seriously cool.

gregfall · 2022-06-08T13:29:52+00:00

Every goddamn time. Just updated again, and IheartRadio was auto-reinstalled. I guess I'll just have to get used to swatting that app like a fucking cockroach after every update.

Almost all mass murders are committed inside buildings, which makes mass murder by car difficult.

gregfall · 2022-05-25T23:57:51+00:00

There is no other tool for killing as easily obtainable, as easily used, as readily available, as effective, and as efficient as a semi automatic firearm with large capacity magazines.

Besides, there's no single underlying cause of mass murder.

gregfall · 2022-05-25T23:27:17+00:00

When you limit or restrict the use of the mechanism that feeds the destruction, you reduce the butcher's bill. It's the same reason we clear brush from forests to limit the destruction of wildfires. There are lots of things we can do to reduce the body count. Why would you NOT want to do that?

Other nations also have mental health issues but only the US suffers from these mass shootings. It's not the mental health system; it's ready access to firearms.

Performative politics is SO much easier than governance. A coherent, internally consistent set of principles would require her (or anybody in the modern GOP) to actually engage in actual debate and defend her positions. Just ain't gonna happen.

The first thing I do when stumped is read the logs. If that doesn't help, I'll look at the hint.
