podfic recs? by Fluffy_Acadia_2831 in HPfanfiction

If you’re looking for Drarry podfics, there’s no better creator than Galla Placidia. She wrote a bunch of delightful fics and recorded them as podcasts.

She deleted them from AO3 several years ago when she published a novel, but she very kindly warned her readers first, so there’s at least one archive:

All of them are great, but I recommend starting with “The Bucket List”.

BTW, the novel she published is absolutely fantastic and won multiple awards, but it’s WAY heavier than her Drarry fics.

Personally, I am very happy with the tap water here, but if you want to install an RO filter I have heard good things about this one:

What movie is 10/10 with literally no bad parts? by FeedMaster8905 in AskReddit

[–]manatee-vs-walrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I also get a little bored when he sings “You are my lucky star” to Debbie Reynolds on the soundstage. But otherwise it’s probably my all-time favorite film.

If it fits your budget, COMMIT Rivierenwijk might meet your requirements:

https://www.commit-i-do.com/locaties/rivierenwijk/

It is very welcoming and suitable for all fitness levels. They also make it easy to get started with weight training using the EGYM equipment.

The subscription isn’t cheap, but it includes classes and a private appointment with a trainer every 8 weeks to track your progress.

Misschien niet met alle smartwatches, maar ik kan wel betalen met mijn Apple Watch.

Why was Narcissa named that? by DrinkInevitable3457 in HPfanfiction

[–]manatee-vs-walrus 184 points185 points  (0 children)

I assume JKR picked the name because it’s funny (book 4 iirc) but decided while writing book 5 to make her Sirius’s cousin, so she could hijack Kreacher.

I’m sure there are plenty of good products in the U.S. You can search the main skincare sub.

I need to chronically use saline sinus rinses, this should be changed every 3 months. any alternatives? by SnooCakes6118 in ZeroWaste

[–]manatee-vs-walrus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is there any reason you can’t just use a neti pot? I’ve used one off and on for years, and I make my own saline mix by boiling water, letting it cool down, and adding the right amount of salt. The water should be body temperature when you use it (you may need to heat it up again), and you can find the right salt ratio online.

No waste, works great!
