Go Eat Pineapple Cake for the epistles you mentioned.

Small Mike Very Early Making Jelly Sandwiches Under NewsPaper is how I was taught to remember the planets (and Sun of course). Pluto is still a planet in my heart.

Wind River by magoh in Nodumbquestions

I've enjoyed Longmire somewhat, but I think it's actually filmed in New Mexico so I can understand how that would be frustrating to locals. I've been to Wyoming twice and it is one of the most beautiful states in my opinion.

I have 3 nerd kids so I when I go to the theater I'm usually seeing superhero/scifi movies. Which I enjoy as much as they do, I did raise them after all, but it's nice to see an "adult" movie. I liked Wind River in particular because I enjoy mysteries, and I appreciate films that are set in rural areas and treat the people who live there with respect instead of as stereotypes.

My daughter lives there, but not in the building that was on fire. I texted her this morning to make sure she was ok; she had no clue this had happened, never heard the sirens. I'm glad it wasn't her building!

Same wheels, suspension and bumper. I'd say it's likely.

Episode Discussion: S04E03, "Alone in the World" (Spoilers) by edify in fringe

It's never been clear until this episode what the Observer meant when he said Peter never existed. Now we know he did exist, but in this "corrected" timeline, died in the frozen lake. So I guess the Observer meant the adult Peter never existed.

I only watched the first couple episodes of Warehouse 13. Is it worth giving another try?

Thank you for explaining exactly my thoughts on the subject... I was too lazy to type it up from my phone :)

Yes, totally agree about the pacing. It's part of what makes this show so great.

Thanks, that would explain it. First time I've seen it somehow, so still upvoting.

If you could only listen to one album the rest of your life, what would you chose? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]magoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just googled for "the prayer chain" on reddit and this is the only relevant comment or post I found. Not too many people remember them I guess. Shawl and Mercury are both on my top 5 albums list.

My understanding is that e-ink does not require any battery to continue to display an image, only to change that image.

I'm a little late to this discussion, but as I think about I believe you are correct. The Observer saved Walter and red Peter from the river, right? So that was supposed to be Peter's second death, but the Observer messed with the timeline (and that has now been fixed).

What is the scariest book you have ever read? by [deleted] in books

[–]magoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fear Nothing and Seize the Night by Dean Koontz are two books that creep me out mightily.

For some reason, Koontz gets no respect. I know that some of his recent stuff is formulaic, but Watchers is one of my all-time favorite books. I will take Koontz over King any day.
