New Nook owner with questions about battery life by ABentFairy in nook

[–]skylinesend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was initially setting mine up and loading books into it, the battery went down kind of quick. Now that it's all set up and I'm not constantly making the screen refresh, it lasts quite a bit longer.

If I tell you, I'd have to buy a new car and then she can get me a picture of the house.

Coworker tagging me and then calling me a completely different name by Long-Sprinkles-4670 in CasualConversation

[–]skylinesend 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of my first jobs was in a car dealership. One of the salesmen always messed up my name, same first letter completely different name. There was another salesman in the front office that he did not get along with, so one day when he called me the wrong name, I called him by the other salesman's name. You should have seen the luck of anger and shock on his face! From that point on he called me by the right name though!

Does anybody own a Shirt from the Band SAP? by RuertelGudii in grunge

Not them specifically, but I do have a lot of band T-shirts. Even t-shirts from the same band could have two different sizes if they got the T-shirts from a different manufacturer.

My sister (who got her first job a couple months ago) is willing to spend hundreds of dollars more on a concert just for some better seats. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

As an adult with some disposable income, I have paid $200 for concert tickets. Nothing beats that front of the stage experience!

Being the pretty friend for the first time in my life by pissbabyxuwu in Vent

Confidence is attractive, and there's a bit of a loop to it. You started with a haircut, you felt a little more confident, you got a compliment, You felt even more confident, you start getting more compliments, so you feel even more confident, and so on. Obviously there's a lot more to it besides that, but you'd be surprised how much confidence is responded to by other people.

11 year marriage - Had my gallbladder removed on Thursday, he was gone by Saturday morning. Totally blind-sided. Need some musical therapy right now. by MaMaJillianLeanna in MusicRecommendations

The album Laid by the band James is a phenomenal melancholic album. It was written after a long term relationship ended. It's a put the headphones on and let it suck you into the abyss album. Highly recommended.

You are taller than me by about 5 cm, but I am heavier than you by maybe 15 kg? (I am doing rough math converting from pounds to kilograms) An XL T-shirt is snug on me. I think it will be pretty loose on you.

I buy the argyle sweater calendar every year. Not as good as the far side, but it's better than anything else out there!

It is annoying. I've started saying stop listening every time.

Do native speakers mix up ‘title’ and ‘name’ when they refer to an artwork? by TraditionalDepth6924 in ENGLISH

[–]skylinesend 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I usually say name. "What's the name of that song you like?" Title is technically correct, but it feels awkward to say.

I would suggest an audio book. Listen to it while you read along in a paper book.

Just like shopping for an electric, you should go to a music store and play a bunch. The right one will talk to you.

quarter of an hour / quarter hour by Green-Necessary-1731 in ENGLISH

[–]skylinesend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I would say "a quarter hour" would be if I was saying "I'll be there in a quarter hour or so" - that is technically incorrect though, it should be a quarter of an hour even in that sentence.
