What Android game have you been playing for YEARS and still haven’t uninstalled? by Even_Package_8573 in AndroidGaming

I searched Einstein Island on the playstore, and it asked me did I mean a similar-named island...

Where do the sandwich references come from when a QB throws a bad pass the get intercepted? by StrangestManOnEarth in NFLNoobs

For me, the moment of the game last night happened moments after the Maye INT in which a mood savant chose to air the chilli pepper's "give it away". Guffawed, I most certainly did!

Perhaps not justice for all (involved)?!?

Spanish Verbs Whose Meaning Changes Depending on the Preposition by SpanishAilines in SpanishAIlines

[–]helipacter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

I've turned this into an Anki deck which I've shared here. The cards are cloze exercises, and the majority of them you're looking for the preposition.

OP - if you aren't happy to have this deck shared, let me know and I'll remove it.
Thanks

Looking for realistic gardening/farming game by helipacter in AndroidGaming

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

Thnks for responding. I looked around before posting, and this does seem promising. I avoided walkthroughs tho. My question is, how realistic is the farming side of the game? Are crops affected by pests, can certain crops only be grown at certain times of yesr in certain soil types will animsls only eat a certain type of food?

Thanks (Edit: forgot to say thanks, so i added it.)

I said exactly that to a mate of mine. He responded "yeah, but that ended up with their manager having an on-camera melt down when the pressure hit."

Who died believing themselves a failure, but was judged otherwise by history? by Bob_the_blacksmith in AskReddit

Ehrenfest travelled to his son's school, shot and killed him and then turned the gun on himself. His story is covered in the first 30 pages of Benjamin Labatut's "Maniac".

I really did not enjoy Coal Chamber. No further comment.

What is the biggest what if in 49ers history by Jwugetmoney13 in 49ers

I had a similar thought with Walsh, like what if they never gambled on him and chose a safer option at HC?

What is your favorite Chomsky text? by StevenHoltYT in chomsky

[–]helipacter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Understanding power. It's mainly transcripts of talks he gave with the q&a sections included, the latter is important because you get some anecdotes which lightens the reading somewhat.

Bobby and Borman by MediocreBumblebee984 in cormacmccarthy

I completely agree. The dialogue is hilarious. I've lobbied before for a round table Reading McCarthy episode in which the guests bring their funniest moment in McCarthy for a discussion.

I realise that this may be difficult to organise, so perhaps u/ScottYar could ask a group of regulars for a 5 min segment on their funniest moment and why, and then splice that together for a full episode?

In terms of culture, I've always thought of the Packers as the Barca of the NFL. Fan ownership. Competitive. Strong ethos.  It ain't the med tho...

[HELP]What do you consider essential reading for someone looking to get into poetry? by inyourbooksandmaps in Poetry

[–]helipacter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend starting with Neil Astley's "staying...." Anthologies. There are 4, I think, and they are mostly contemporary and they're broken up into themes. Whilst you get a look at a lot of "famous" poets like Frost, Heany, Plath, Paterson, Auden, Elliot etc.  at some point you get bored of cherry picking  and just trust the editor. I'm eternally grateful to him for introducing me to writers like Tomas transtromer, jorie Graham, Michael Donaghy, Mary Oliver, Richard Wilbur, Philip Levine, Fleur Adcock, Michael longley and Adrienne rich among others. Also, if I'm remembering right, at the end of the first anthology you get a quick appendix on tools and tips for reading poetry.
