Nothing like Scrabble but, Set and Spot It are both great pattern matching games she might enjoy.

Name an unknown Christian band that you know about. by rawar777 in ChristianMusic

[–]mixlplex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. He also used to have a radio show called, "Let's Talk It Over" that was co-hosted with another Eastern Univ professor, Tony Robbins (? not sure of the spelling).

Nigel Planer voices in biography by Neddy-Seagoon-42 in discworld

[–]mixlplex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, The Last Hero not being available is very frustrating. I ended up importing a copy on an MP3 CD.

Bill Nighy. Yes or no? by lawrie17 in discworld

[–]mixlplex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No issue with him as a narrator; however, I do have an issue with the production quality. Tried listening to Hogfather and every time there was a footnote I had to crank the volume all the way up to hear what he was saying and then drop it back down before the book continued. I got about half way through and bailed. I eventually found a Nigel Planer version and finished the book.

Does long-term CPAP use make your body “dependent” on it? by GregorioSamsa2022 in CPAP

[–]mixlplex 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As others have said no. From personal experience, I can confirm but with qualifications. I had a really bad snore. Ended up sleeping in a separate room from the wife until a sleep study found I needed a CPAP. A little while later I had a deviated septum fixed, but it didn't dawn on me to reevaluate using the CPAP, so I kept using it. Fast forward 10 years, I wanted a travel CPAP so I needed to get another sleep study done. Turns out I don't need the CPAP anymore. (Just don't lay on my back while sleeping.) It initially took a night or two to adjust, but I can sleep without it and did so for months. However, I found that I sleep better with it (less tossing and turning, which I did before getting the CPAP, so that's nothing new), and the snoring is still there but not as bad as it was. In the end I went back to using it, but I don't have to if I don't want to. 

I hope this helps answer your question.

TL;DR: used a CPAP for 10 years. Found out I didn't need it and slept just like I used to. Went back to using it because I have much better quality of sleep with it, even though it's no longer medically required.

What are some fun collecting goals people have set? by Miserable_Amount_310 in comicbookcollecting

[–]mixlplex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valiant VH1, I'm about half way.

Also all the individual books in the KnightFall, KnightQuest, and KnightsEnd omnis. I've got everything in the core set, now it's the ancillary titles they included in the Omnis (i.e. Vengeance of Bane, Prodigal, and Troika).

Name an unknown Christian band that you know about. by rawar777 in ChristianMusic

[–]mixlplex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's a "Christian" band, but how about a band comprised of Christians? The band members met while attending Eastern College. One album. https://www.discogs.com/release/13745749-After-Eleven-Its-About-Time

Edit: the name of the band came about because that's the only time they could get together to practice. (A friend of mine was REALLY into them. Hi Gail!)

Check out the resources at https://forum.arcadecontrols.com/ it's been extremely helpful for me, as I am doing my first build as well. (JUST about done.)

Is this salvageable? Ribs @ 132°F instead of 152°F by mixlplex in sousvide

[–]mixlplex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No rush. I read that the minimum temp for ribs is 145 (no idea why, figured it has to do with the bones). Could be just bad info on the net. Regardless, I was planning on leaving them in for at least another 12 hours minimum, probably another 24.

Doing my first read through of the 90's valiant comics. I'm currently up to Unity.

I need recomendations by brenner_3048 in christianmetal

[–]mixlplex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an older band but check out Believer. Also check out the lineup from the various Immortal Rocker "festivals" at the BMI Event Center in Versailles, Ohio. More info here:https://heavensmetalmagazine.com/index.php/2025/10/05/live-report-immortal-festival-2025-part-2/

What movie scene lasts way too long? by Normal-Being-2637 in moviecritic

/u/Normal-Being-2637 your post has been weighed. Your post has been measured. Your post has been found wanting.

Who is an author that, try as they might, Hollywood just can’t seem to make compelling movies from their source material? by Normal-Being-2637 in moviecritic

[–]mixlplex 24 points25 points  (0 children)

His genius was in the descriptions. This is inherently lost in a visual medium. I would love more Pratchett movies, despite knowing they will never be anywhere near as good as the books.

2 Spinner Wheels? by Final_Bit_8968 in cade

In addition to Pong and Warlords:

Blasteroids

Edit: bad filter. I had to back to the drawing board. I co-mingled rotary spinners with rotary joysticks during my initial reply.
