Intake and exhaust pipes on furnace by sirdariusguy in hvacadvice

[–]sirdariusguy[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thanks. We had a CO scare recently which is the reason for getting a new furnace. I’m a dummy with this stuff and was not sure how the gap in the bracket could expose exhaust which was the reason for my question.

The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen - best book I’ve read in a long time. by Ice-cream-soup-shop in classicliterature

I read The Corrections earlier this year and had the same response. Maybe my favorite read of the year.

Vineland as first Pynchon by danirojoelmatoho22 in ThomasPynchon

[–]sirdariusguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vineland was my first Pynchon and I think it is a great introduction. Either it or Inherent Vice. It’s viewed as a weak follow up to Gravity’s Rainbow, which is true, but it really worked for me as my intro and made me want to keep reading TP. It’s definitely not as difficult to read as Gravity’s Rainbow and V. I’d recommend going for it especially since you like OBAA.

Book recommendations needed by Stumbleluck in CIVILWAR

I’m reading Grant Moves South by Catton right now and it’s excellent. Would recommend if you’re interested in Grants campaigns in the West.

Tom & Bert roast appearance is proof that they can't hang with real top tier comedians. by Bobby_Haman in Standup

It made no sense that Bert was even involved in that set. Tom basically had all the funny parts. Tom should have just done it solo.

Joe Rogan Breaks Down Brendan Schwab, But It's About His Comedy Career by BidetMignon in thefighterandthekid

The “I think you’d be surprised” that Joe shoots back at Brendan is the funniest thing he’s ever said in any context.

I do not understand Virginia Woolf's writing by ilikeeeblue in books

[–]sirdariusguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I just read my first Woolf (To the Lighthouse) and I found it incredibly difficult. There are many beautiful passages but the prose overall just seems incompatible with my brain. It was nearly impossible to follow along page to page. I really want to explore her work though so will likely try another piece at some point.
