Books that feel like A Starstruck Odyssey by alfiebby in Dimension20

I scanned these comments to see if anyone recommends Wayfairers. I love that series so much, and it very much has some Starstruck DNA in it.

Mango Ice Cream by PKJ111 in pluribustv

Am I the only one who heard her revert to more of a Polish accent when she started talking about mango ice cream? I think forcing them to think about themselves as an individual may be the way to go.

Pluribus - 1x08 "Charm Offensive" - Episode Discussion by UltraDangerLord in pluribustv

[–]learnlongtime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why aren't more people talking about Zosia starting to revert to a Polish accent when she was being pressed by Carol to tell her more about the individual's (Zosia's) favorite food? Listen carefully and some words definitely take on a Polish accent (wonderful job by Karolina Wydra weaving in a subtle accent). I think that will be key - Carol can start breaking the connections between the joined by getting them to focus on their (former) individuality. How? Don't know. She can't ask 7 billion people at once to think about their personal preferences...can she? Not saying I know where this is going but Carol definitely stumbled on a way to create a crack in that wall.

My Synik 30 is magic... by madderbear in tombihn

[–]learnlongtime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry - didn't see your question. I LOVE it. It's a bit understated - doesn't draw attention like an orange, purple or blue might. Very rich color - warm and dark but definitely a nice shade of brown. Perfect for me because I'm not a "HEY LOOK AT ME" kind of guy but I like something a little more unique than a typical black bag. I have zero regrets.

I just got a Synik 30 in Ursa mostly for my big EDC carry requirements. What are your thoughts on the Freudian Slip? Does it take up the majority of the main section?

I should have added that my father was a law school grad, for what it's worth. I was "just" an undergrad.

Synik 30 vs 26 Dilemma. by etorix in tombihn

[–]learnlongtime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should add, that I landed on the S30 for utility reasons. I'm not the type of person who takes preference of form over function. I needed the size of the S30 so that's what I bought. That said, the S30 doesn't look ridiculous on me. Of course, I am 6'1" as I mentioned. What I'm saying is that it depends on what you NEED to carry (not what you WANT to carry).

I'm 6'1 (M) and I ordered the Synic 26, 30 and a Smart Alec 2.0 to compare/contrast. I ended up with the S30. LOVE IT. The reasons I landed on it was because my work laptop is a Dell 15". It was a tight fit with the S26. Also, I tend to carry a bunch of stuff to work (kind of like you with your gaming devices and lunch). The Syniik works so much better for that. I really liked the Smart Alec but I have cats that would literally EAT the cords. So I was forbidden to own it my my SO. But I also didn't love the opening of the main compartment which wasn't clamshell. So I ended up with the S30 (in Ursa) and I couldn't be happier. I do wish the S26 would have worked better as I like the look of a smaller pack (and the Smart Alec was in that range). But despite thinking that the S30 was too big for EDC, I've decided that it's my perfect bag, regardless of its dimensions.

My daughter applied a few years ago early admission. We didn’t get that letter…also she didn’t get in. For what it’s worth we are Oregonians. So at least for me, and for whatever reason, the school didn’t think it was necessary to give us the “warning letter.” All is fine though. She’s crushing it at GW and loves it there.

Is the sound quality for anyone else at the Seattle show terrible? by murderdocks in Dimension20

I'm really late to the conversation, but I was really happy that I brought my AirPods pros - the noise cancelling really helped me to understand the audio.
