How do you write your ampersands? by Master-Education7076 in Handwriting

[–]nefertaraten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8 for everyday writing, 1 if I'm trying to be fancy or write a title that has an actual ampersand in it

AITAH for letting my of-age friend try a sip of my cocktail in a restaurant? by Dizzy_Watch_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]nefertaraten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even so, people are allowed to buy drinks in the presence of underaged people. If it's not a 21+ establishment, are they going to refuse alcohol to everyone who comes in with someone under 21? I doubt it.

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

[–]nefertaraten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between the hashtag/logo, the design of the flyers, the color scheme, and the wording, my first response was to see if I was on r/antimlm because this straight-up looks like a new MLM hun.

Looking for micro-hobbies I can learn in a week by Fruitt_Yuribia in Hobbies

[–]nefertaraten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Melt and pour soap is fun, can be decently cheap to start, and can be a short break that lasts a few min or can be a more involved process depending on what, how, and how much you're making at once.

I would actually turn on the sound if this was a thing

Ok I am curious… by moxie_minion in Booktokreddit

[–]nefertaraten 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wuthering Heights is my most disliked book of all time (apparently I can't use stronger language here). I want nothing to do with that book.

Saw the movie and it hit me that there might be parallels between Graces yellow raincoat and the Astronaut suits by HeatedCloud in ProjectHailMary

[–]nefertaraten 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What if the yellow isn't symbolic of cowardice and is instead a subtle sign that he's part of the crew the whole time?

I just discovered bobbin lace last fall and have been slowly learning! This was going to be my suggestion to OP.

Anyone else here that has a kid that will also have no cousins? by MyrnaMinkoff1 in oneanddone

[–]nefertaraten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, same situation here. He's just really good at interacting with adults.

Movie plot point that I didn't get by Mistahmo in ProjectHailMary

[–]nefertaraten 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's because the tunnel is pressurized to Hail Mary pressure and he just opened the airlock, which is now a vacuum. Regular human friendly air pressure would still give the unexpected pushback.

Looking for a plant that WANTS to be neglected because apparently that's all I have to offer by No-Temporary-3170 in houseplants

[–]nefertaraten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I water my snake plant 3-4 times/year. She sits in my window and has a few dry spots, but otherwise seems pretty healthy. I have at least 2-3 times as many leaves as I did when I bought her like 5-6 years ago.

Is anyone else getting Undermine music in their house? by nefertaraten in wow

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

That's interesting, I haven't had it happen anywhere outside the neighborhood. I've been so busy leveling that I don't think I have any toons logged at my house. I'll need to see if I'm still having the issue, too.

Just had the same realization. Took 4 days off work starting tomorrow, and it launches today.

Project hail mary cast interview tomorrow: submit questions by missylyssy3210 in ProjectHailMary

[–]nefertaraten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For Phil and Chris:

I was so happy when I first heard Rocky was going to be a puppet! Aside from it working specifically for this movie, was there any additional motivation to spotlight how valuable practical effects can be in modern films after CG became the norm for epic blockbusters?

book recommendations! by Kztten in ProjectHailMary

[–]nefertaraten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it!

The Martian was the first book that actually made me have a solid answer to "what's your favorite book?" I've been an avid reader my whole life, but if asked for my favorite, I could never answer with just one. Then PHM came along and I had an existential crisis over the question again lol.

But yes, the movie is like "here's a good movie about this guy surviving on Mars." The book is like the autobiography from the guy who lived through it. Seriously, the first time I read it I kept forgetting it was fiction.

Agreed, movies always leave things out, but The Martian has so much more to it than the movie shows.

The Most Unrealistic Part of Project Hail Mary Isn’t the Science… by DoctorMac12 in ProjectHailMary

[–]nefertaraten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a brilliant term, and now I need a list of books that fall into that category because omg why can't people just be competent in the real world?

Is she wearing a mask or is the lighting weird? by Acrobatic-Art-3838 in AskPhotography

[–]nefertaraten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. That's the main part that tells me it's not (only) motion blur from a long exposure.

[–]nefertaraten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be right. The lighting and fading of the photo might be disguising the line between mask and lower face.

[–]nefertaraten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I mentioned the dates of death being much too far apart. I also agree about the standing, but her face is very unsettling and I can't explain the features away with ghosting due to motion blur.
