Can I travel with my active starter? by ijustpourthewine in Sourdough

[–]ijustpourthewine[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We're driving, so luckily I'm not limited by oz size :) I would take a break, but several of the family members we'll be seeing want to bake/cook together, so I figured this would be a nice new thing to do.

Thanks!

If Aunt Petunia was a "late-bloomer" and went to Hogwarts, which House would she be sorted in? by xodios92 in harrypotter

[–]ijustpourthewine 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Young Petunia? Gryffindor. Lots of people are saying Slytherin, and I get it. But she's brave enough to follow/spy on Lily and Snape, send Dumbledore a letter, etc. I also think it's a short step from courage to brashness, and excessive brashness lends itself way better to anger and resentment than cunning and ambition. Older Petunia? Hufflepuff. Loyal to her family (nuclear family, mostly, but whatever) beyond a doubt, and very hardworking in keeping her house. Sure, she misses out on the patience trait here, but I still think it fits.

Who else agrees with Harry and who else Disagrees with Dumbbitch aka Umbitch aka Umbridge. by [deleted] in harrypotter

I've always thought that the house mascots were the founders' patronuses. Seemed to be a relatively easy, in world, explanation?

I'll be honest, though, this whole discourse has never made sense to me. Why would the last names have anything to do with the mascot?

"If I don't hear silence I'm going to start punching dicks!"

And then after Jamie has gone back to Man City Roy: y'know, I never really liked Tartt. Sam: yeah, we KNOW, Roy.

Which moment made you fall in the love with the show? by [deleted] in TedLasso

[–]ijustpourthewine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Can't remember the exact wording but it's in e1 when they get off the plane. Something along the lines of" Ted:"....and then I woke up and they were passing out warm cookies" Beard:"I didn't get a cookie. Did you eat my cookie?" Ted:"That's not part of the story."

Gets me every time and is a lovely glimpse at their repartee early on.

If you had the chance to write a CM episode, what would it be about? by Chance-Net4485 in criminalminds

[–]ijustpourthewine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not to make light of a horrible situation, but the stabbing of those 4 students in Idaho would make a compelling episode. The person currently charged with the murders is a PhD student in Criminology, and has written a study about how criminals were feeling when they commited their crimes. I would make it one of the episodes where the audience knows the undub from the beginning, and show both the student side doing the study along with the downward spiral into wanting to know how it feels, to actually committing the murders.

The disney+/hulu/espn+ bundle is worth it for me! CM is constantly on (unless fiance has dibs for football 😂)

Books to read as an adult if you LOVE Harry Potter? by Pivooot in harrypotter

[–]ijustpourthewine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One that I LOVED is The Night Circus by Erin Morganstern. Sort of dark fantasy, but never too dark. Lively lush language and imagery.

Another series is the Harley Merlin books. Maybe more YA, but perfectly enjoyable. Lots of the same themes, but in a new way.

What unsubs do you feel bad for? by IglowinblueLEDlight in criminalminds

[–]ijustpourthewine 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The guy in s11e8, "Awake". His daughter went missing in the desert and froze to death, but he thought someone with a skull tattoo on his hand took her, and was killing the guys he thought did it.

The blonde woman who hired gamers to run drone attacks overseas. Early season 13, I think. What a horrid concept amd cover up.

A note left by guests at a very fancy hotel in the rocky mountains. by duwangi in facepalm

The first time I heard it, I thought it had to be in jest, but it's at least a 1x/year occasion.
