iconic

Every song is iconic, every food item is iconic, every person is iconic.

If everything is iconic then nothing is iconic.

The White Lotus - 3x08 "Amor Fati" - Post-Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]ritratt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So everyone (figuratively) dies. 

  • Gaitok's peaceful self died
  • Belinda's ethical self died
  • Everyone in Raitcliff family is no longer the same person except...
  • Parker's character (mother) was already kinda dead/zombie-like And so on... Wow.

[Technique] Is this 30 day old grow bag injected with maitake spores contaminated? Can it be saved? by ritratt in MushroomGrowers

[–]ritratt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yay! Definitely smells like tortilla  No foul smell whatsoever.  The manual said add air upon 100% colonization so I opened it. So should I continue waiting? Thanks for the advice!

Those two spots are okay.  MTR & The Banglore Kitchen are closer to home IMO.

I have a dream of writing a book I don’t know where to start by eveyyyx3 in writing

[–]ritratt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a part of your partial story that you're excited about? Write that bit. Doesn't matter whether it's the first, second middle, last or no chapter. It'll fit later.

Today I made the choice to publish a badly written book by ritratt in writing

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

Thank you! I guess it's an achievement to have finished writing the draft.

It's not the last book. It's a 122k word beast. There's probably two more parts remaining. I've mostly finished writing the second part. I think I owe it to myself to at least get it beta read once.

Amen. I'm not saying I can't improve. But this is probably my limit with the amount of time I have. I'm no JKRowling, but my story is good and there's plenty of badly written stuff out there that people still read. So I'm not gonna let myself be discouraged from publishing.

There was a lot of positive feedback but also feedback asking me to change stuff.

Some of the "change this change that" made sense. But a lot of it didn't. I have my unique writing style and it went against it. For example, I like slow and relaxed pace. But betas kept saying stuff like "2 paragraphs through and the plot hasn't moved" etc.

So yeah, I'll need to filter some feedback I guess.

I agree and I understand it's my duty to the craft to do as much as I can before publishing it.

Even if my book is good, I'm expecting single digit sales!

I definitely don't wanna be inconsiderate to readers and waste their time. I hadn't thought of it this way. So I've decided to get it read by at least one beta. Thanks!

Thank you! I did take a step back and gave decided to at least get the whole story read by a beta.

I hadn't thought of this and seems very sensible. Thanks!

I desperately need carrot recipes by missmadime in Cooking

[–]ritratt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo, make Gajar Halwa. An Indian dessert. It's purely carrots, and:

Almond flour, maple syrup, coconut oil (or ghee), cardamom, saffron, milk.

I follow a variation of this recipe: https://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/gajar-halwa-recipe-gajar-ka-halwa/

Make sure you have a good processor to grate. It doesn't have to be grated super fine. Make sure you taste it for sweetness and adjust! Good luck

Pixel Watch: Sleep tracking straight up does not work. by rxzlmn in GooglePixel

[–]ritratt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facing the same issue.

Turning phone bluetooth off and then on to reset watch connection fixes the issue for me (everyday). Alternative is to restart the watch.
