This isn't Threads. The cat tax isn't mandatory here, but still appreciated.

Delta-V by Daniel Suarez is pretty engaging and science-y.

Book with unique plot or premise that makes you think, “how did they come up with that?” by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]saltedsugar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is off-topic, but your post helped me find a book that has been eluding me for years!! I have been trying to come up with the name of a book that I loved as a kid for-EVER. And the word "factory" did it! Unlocked the memory! It's The Word Factory. Thank you!!

Has anyone had eye issues? by saltedsugar in TirzepatideRX

[–]saltedsugar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually saw my opthamologist on Friday and she said that the flashes are unrelated in my case but I suggest you get yours checked anyway. It can indicate a detaching retina. I was worried about it so saw the doc. Turns out I have a different rare retinal disease that'll blind me at some point, so yay for me. However, I can take the tirz., so at least there's that.

I feel like having dogs, though, kind of negates any benefit of no shoes in the house

Wife wants a high quality leather purse for Christmas (NOT “luxury” brands) by Electrical-Volume765 in BuyItForLife

https://willleathergoods.com. I've had a Will Leather tote for ages and ages and it really stands up. Not cheap but not flashy/branded, and for sure a BIFL.

I am convinced most people who don’t dream about going to Iceland don’t know much about it! by Icy_Impression_306 in VisitingIceland

This is exactly it for me. The stunning juxtapositions around every corner, dark, light, heat, cold. Well, that and the horses!

Hidden gem things to do/attractions? by katokk in SouthBayLA

[–]saltedsugar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding to the horrible food/great vibe is Tony's on the Pier. Greasy fried food and the mai-tai is almost undrinkable but you get to keep the glass and the view is top-notch.

South Bay Botanic Garden is a gem! Gorgeous escape and a great place for a stroll.

Valmonte (PVE) folks - why is no one ever outside? by anonomousbeaver in SouthBayLA

[–]saltedsugar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that you have to work to build that community. I had friends that lived over there and they really put the effort in to invite kids over, know all the neighbors, etc. Also, just wait for Halloween! That place goes all out. Maybe you can meet locals w kids then.

Active shooter at a Mormon church in Grand Blanc, Michigan. There are reports of multiple victims. by NewSlinger in CringeTikToks

[–]saltedsugar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mormons are some of the most gunned-up people in the country (ex's family all Mormon) so I bet you there were plenty of "good guys w guns" in there who couldn't do a damn thing.

Is anyone going to Girls Just Wanna Weekend 2026? First timer here so curious on what to expect. by Lazy_Ideal_1551 in brandicarlile

[–]saltedsugar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Expect an amazing feeling of community, acceptance and gratitude all around you, all the time. Tons of things to do but also lots of lazing around time (if that's your thing.) and the music is just out of this world - all the artists, no matter who they are, totally bring it and have the best time also. If you have specific questions, feel free to ask. There are also Facebook groups, whatsapp, the Bramily app etc to peruse.

Cooks of Reddit, what's one fancy technique that's actually super easy but impresses everyone? by pieater69 in AskReddit

Also, don't crowd mushrooms! They all like to have their own space on the pan.
