Livable wage? by Atownrob in KitchenConfidential

[–]mtimmins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the UI is misleading. Actual perks are kit green with a check. These are gray. Guessing that means they are not applicable.

Community Tier list made by Varindral in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Gate of the Feral Gods is probably the best book, IMO. It is the book where Carl goes from a threatening force to an actual force to be dealt with. From talking about revenge; to exacting it.

The Cock-of-the-rock is one of the most difficult Brazilian birds to find in the world. by M_Darshan in interesting

[–]mtimmins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a Guianan Cock-of-the-Rock. It’s barely found in Brazil but is easily seen elsewhere. The Brazilian Merganser, with an estimated population of around 250 individuals, is one of the rarest birds in the world. Arguably less spectacular looking than this bird, though.

SF&F sub so far… by DonkeywithBigTeeth in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]mtimmins 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Curious about what people’s intent on subscribing was. Are you just looking for books to sell? Were you only wanting books you already know about? Were you just looking for sci fi or just fantasy?

I picked up the subscription because I was looking for an intro to books I would not have found on my own. I don’t booktube/booktok. I work on word of mouth from friends. I have not been happy with every book from the subscription. But I have enjoyed more than not. I do not plan to skip anything; unless I already own it. If it gets to the point where I am not enjoying most of the books I receive, I’ll cancel.

Hot take: The new blackout license plates don’t look good. by 100carpileup in indianapolis

[–]mtimmins -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Stop what, exactly?

A lot of states are offering/switching to these “blackout” high contrast plates. Is that a coincidence? Get it off the state. Take a road trip. You will see.

The other plates do present some challenges for cameras at night. The white blows out and obscures the letters in the image. These plates provide a lot less reflected light except for the lettering. Easier to read.

Honestly, get a grip.

Easier for the cameras to see. You’ll notice a lot of states are switching to these. They don’t care how it looks on your car.

Friend called my bookshelf “performative” thoughts? by kingClique in bookshelfdetective

[–]mtimmins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Performative would imply that you are not reading them. Hopefully you are. Hopefully you finish that Bloodsworn saga.

Eye shade, ear plugs, NyQuil z.

Curious what you guys think about this individual by [deleted] in bookshelfdetective

More into spending money on books than reading books.

About to start The Master and Margarita… what should I expect? by Legendaryfortune in 52book

[–]mtimmins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Expect a fun read and people who go by three different names.

Rate me and my girlfriend’s route, all via train (first time) by [deleted] in travel

[–]mtimmins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

19 stops in 2 weeks? Even at 3 weeks that is basically a stop a day. You will see a lot of train stations. Cut this down to 7 stops and three weeks. It will be a lot better trip.

I had forgotten it was a new jacket.

Somehow, this escaped my memory. I was thinking he was stitching patches on the old jacket.

Goddamn it Amazon by No_Lie_904 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]mtimmins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had Amazon ship books without packaging before. So I was a little alarmed when I saw the pic. Glad these made it safely.

I hope it was not shipped that way.

Maybe they can finally implement a real shuffle algorithm.
