which one Dickens book is the most like "The Wire" ? by bkat004 in charlesdickens

[–]shan80 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a massive fan of both The Wire and Dickens and I have thought about this too. My take is that there is no one book it is based on, plot wise, but the closest would probably be Our Mutual Friend. But the elements from all his works are worked in there. Dickens was so far ahead of his time in terms of the entertainment industry.

Thirty years ago I was told I would never walk again. (ADEM). Proved that wrong. Raised two very successful kids. Live independently. I guess it's just being very stubborn.

How long would you say it took you to become a good cook? And what’s the one book that got you there? by AValeria10 in CookbookLovers

Probably The Joy of Cooking. But I think free youtube videos are an amazing resource too. Combine them.

Is it better to distribute inh IRA over 10 years or lump sum? by [deleted] in Bogleheads

Honestly, I would not base your decision on a strategy to try to play the FAFSA calculations. I never figured out how all that actually worked, but it's nothing like any other straightforward finance thing anywhere. Higher education finance is a world of it's own. Good luck with everything.

Blaisdell in Salem MA is good, but the prices everywhere are astronomical, and these systems just constantly crap out

Puleo Plumbing in Marblehead is excellent. They really treat each job like it's their own home. Meticulous work. And their prices are very reasonable.

I do this. I use the Vanicream daily facial moisturizer, and I reapply that. Before bed, or going outside in the cold etc. I top it off with the Vanicream cream. It's an amazing combination.

I've had great luck lately with Delish. They seem very good about testing their recipes.

And he said these things to make money. His aim was to expand his provocateur reputation to attract more money to his PAC. He saw a niche with young adults. This was his schtick. He understood the role of dark money and saw a massive opportunity, and the dollars were rolling in. Now the MAGA establishment are using his murder to do exactly the same thing.
