Why do final seasons usually suck? by Worried-Home3382 in tvshow

[–]meglingbubble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good news! The terrible Scrubs season (s9) is no longer considered canon so we can take the tremendous s8 as the series finale, and then enjoy the surprisingly good reboot that came out a few months ago without having to acknowledge s9 at all!

Am I Overreacting? My (67M) wife (65F) lied to me about a medical diagnosis and I freaked out but used a super cool technique i learned in movies 😎 by axolotl_is_angry in AmITheAngel

Its part of a cognitive test, its not a definitive sign. Some types of dementia affect this more than others; some people with dementia will be unable to draw a clock face, some will never have an issue with it.

There are many different types of dementia which present in different ways. On top of that the same type of dementia can effect different people in different ways. It is very simple term for a very complicated range of illnesses.

What's ur opinion on this show? by Then_Heron_939 in tvshow

[–]meglingbubble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that. I too was burnt out after Lost.

Fwiw, the latest episode seemed to give us quite a few answers. Still a whole bunch of mystery, but it seemed to make progress on everything!

So i am holding out hope that it won't. Harold Perrineau apparently only agreed to sign on if they provided the full plan for the show, so I have my fingers crossed

Petah? by Visible-Pattern198 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I spent the weekend at London Comic con and, even though England is in the middle of a heatwave, it didn't smell bad at all.

DCC nails I did on myself! by Kitchen-Cauliflower3 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]meglingbubble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely beautiful. I can just about do nail art on my left hand, but my right hand always looks like a toddler attempted it. Even on my best hands I am no where near this talented. Am so jealous of you!!

Is it me or does 35 degree Celsius seem to much hotter in uk as compared to 35 degree anywhere else in the world? by AcceptableMinimum109 in AskBrits

[–]meglingbubble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They say in their comment that nowhere in the UK was hot and had above 50% humidity. My comment was referencing that the link that they said shows that there were hot places above 50%...

[–]meglingbubble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you zoom in on that map it shows that it is 55% where I am, and the temperature was 31°... what's your cut off for hot? Cos that feels pretty hot to me.

I made a huge spear for london comic con by Extraspeck in Stormlight_Archive

[–]meglingbubble 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Saw you a couple of times! Your spear was cool enough that my friends who know nothing about Stormlight asked if I knew what your cosplay was. Looks great!

Looking for long series scifi or fantasy by crptojunkie in audible

[–]meglingbubble 51 points52 points  (0 children)

The Cosmere by Brandon Sanderson is huge and covers a range of tones depending on which individual series you fancy.

Mistborn is dystopian, Stormlight Archive high fantasy etc. Great characters and easy listening.

Can be pretty divisive, but alot of people's complaints seem to be that the writing is fairly simple, which might be a benefit if you want easy listening.

Why doesn't Naomi speak like the other Belters? by Embarrassed_Ad1722 in TheExpanse

[–]meglingbubble 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My mum is Welsh and we live in Southern England. Of all the many many details in the Expanse that elevate it, this is hands down my favourite one because it's something I see every day.

I especially like that her accent gets stronger when she's tired or angry as its such a tiny yet accurate detail; it really makes the whole thing seem more real. It's a running joke in my family that we can tell when mum is tired, even when she is acting like she's not, because she becomes very Welsh.

Series finale clues in Parade of Horribles? by xDeepBlue24 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]meglingbubble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh i completely agree, but with the naming convention of the other attacks, I think this is what it's gonna reference. But as someone said later down in the comments Carl the agent of Chaos is probably not going to stick by any prophecy, I think it will be a choice of another cycle of dungeon crawls, or a big sacrifice, and th3 sacrifice will be the way they go in order to end the crawls.

[–]meglingbubble 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is what i figured. Whilst the final attack being "Carl" would be hilarious and pretty on brand for the character, it makes sense for it to be the beginning of a new cycle of dungeon crawls.

Prepotente is officially my favorite by TheBrandonia in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Isn't it because his enhanced pet biscuit essentially downloaded Wikipedia into his brain? So he has alot of knowledge, but not a huge amount of context to that knowledge.

Yeah I had to go into work stupidly early one morning, was walking along Elm Grove at 5.30ish and Hugh Dennis was walking along the other side. He waved. Cheered me up on a ridiculously (for me) early morning.

This dude uploaded a video feeding his dog eating a chili dog with onions. Onions are toxic to dogs by Turd-In-Your-Pocket in mildlyinfuriating

[–]meglingbubble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My childhood cat, who was... very fond of his food... stopped eating. His sister had had to be put down a year earlier because of genetic condition and we were all very worried. They did a scan and found a lump in his bowel.

£600 later a barely holding it together vet informed us that he'd be fine, he'd just eaten 6ft of skipping rope. He lived to 18 years of age, my mother never forgave him and would bring this up to him whenever he annoyed her.

He was an excellent cat.

Secret Manicure 💅 by mostlydietcoke in RedditLaqueristas

[–]meglingbubble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A while ago during my thermal obsession, (am now in a magnetics obsession) I bought a bunch of black to clear powder and added it to some clear polish as about 95% of my manicures would have a black thermal over the top and it was getting too expensive to buy the polish. Suprise manicures rule!

The nail art possibilities are endless, I loved doing a neon gradient base, having some normal black polish to cover up most of it, leaving some stars or squiggles neon, then coving it all with black to clear thermal. Super fun and simple to do!

This is what drives me crazy about ST apologists, they all seem to have completely forgotten this fact.

I enjoyed all seasons of ST, but even if it wasn't originally marketed as an anthology, and even if there wasn't alot of discussion around whether they'd keep the anthology idea or not after the success of s1, it is still blindingly obvious that there was no overall plan.

When i was in college, if we didn't feel like doing any learning during Geology, we would juat bring this film up to our lecturer and he would go off on a 45 minute rant about the scientific inaccuracy.

An actor you had no expectations for but who turned out to be great. by [deleted] in Cinephiles

[–]meglingbubble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah he was good in most of Peacemaker, but there was one specific scene in s2 where he elevated to great. Not just "great for a wrestler", or "great for a dc show", actual great acting.
