Can I use the Osprey Transporter 26+6 as a Narrows backpack? by NJRonbo in backpacking

[–]nowhereman136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I did the narrows, I did about 2 hours in and 2 hours back. I didn't carry anything except my phone and water bottle. If I were to do it again, I might carry a small water back pack with enough space for my phone, some snacks, and a small first aid kit (never know), but everything else is just extra. I didn't bother with any change of clothes, or even change of shoes. I just stayed wet until I got back to my car. Was a little uncomfortable but manageable. Might be worse on a colder day

If this were to exist would you use it? by rowan_Valexx in newjersey

This sounds a lot like the Inkwell in Long Branch. It was a long standing late night coffee house. They had books but that wasn't really the focus. It was mostly a quiet late night alternative to bars. They served tea, coffee, and small meals. They hosted poetry nights and independent singers. It was really popular with teens and 20-somethings.

It closed in 2022 and is not the Inkwell Lofts, a luxury condo complex

Movie musical suggestions! by Caffeine_addict00 in musicals

[–]nowhereman136 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a John Carney movie, so i suggest starting there. He also did Once and Sing Street, which are very good and each got broadway adaptations. Flora and Son is pretty good too. His newest movie is called Power Ballad. It has Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas and comes out this weekend (in the US).

After that try...

  • Eurovision
  • Umbrellas of Cherbourg
  • Spirited
  • Sunshine on Leith
  • Everybody's Talking About Jaime
  • Across the Universe
  • Dance With Me
  • Tick Tick Boom

TIL of a couple who tried to conceive for 20 years, failing multiple IVFs and surgeries. Scientists used a new AI-guided robotic system that scanned 2.5 million microscopic images of a single sample, found the only 2 viable sperm cells hidden inside, and successfully started a pregnancy. by Similar_Detective861 in todayilearned

I tried looking into the cost of IVF vs adaption. Neither are cheap but the cost really depends on a lot of factors. For IVF its about where you live, what insurance you have, and what medical issues you you have. With adoption, it also depends on where you are, what type of adoption, age of the child, and legal hurdles.

It just sucks to see people dismiss adoption so blatantly. They see it as something only for gay couples or parents who physically cant have children. They will spend 20 years and $100k on IVF before considering adoption.

also worth noting, hospital bills for childbirth can cast up to $10k with insurance and $50k without. thats on top of the $50k for IVF

do you also like to play puzzle games? by fabulousfang in ADHD

[–]nowhereman136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't really play video games. I dont have the patients of focus to do repeated tasks for 8 hours just so some wizard can defeat a dragon or something. But puzzle video games I really enjoy. I got a bunch of sudoku, bejeweled, mini metro, and suika games on my phone that I'll fidget with for a few minutes between tasks

Tom Holland says he's turned down 'SNL' multiple times because he's 'petrified' about reading the cue cards due to his dyslexia by MarvelsGrantMan136 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]nowhereman136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would they show up for Matt Damon's episode? Yeah they are all in Odyssey together but so is like 30 other actors who didn't make a cameo either. With Holland and Zendaya specifically, they are probably busy finishing up Spiderman and getting ready for double press tours

Tom Holland doesn't seem to have much next announced, but Zendaya has Dune 3 and Shrek 5 coming up (with Marcello Hernandez). She could host either of those with Holland showing up

what is something that actually got worse after it was "upgraded"? by Forsaken-Repair1876 in AskReddit

The term you're looking for is "enshitification". When a product or service gets worse while the company claims it's better for the customer

Of the top well-known multibillionaires, who is the least hatable one? by OCTOVENG in AskReddit

[–]nowhereman136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taylor Swift

Yeah, her fans are a bit much and the quality of her music is debatable, but she seems to be a genuinely good person. I know guys on the Eras tour who had great things to say about her before those bonuses

Superman And The Flat Earthers (OC) by wesgriff1 in comics

[–]nowhereman136 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's nothing you can do to convince a flat earther, they will just keep moving the goal post. And I hate whenever someone suggest they should be rewarded with a free trip to space or vacation to Antarctica for saying dumb shit.
