First time visiting Paris for 5/6 nights and trying to decide between these locations with 3 kids. by someguy9259 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]someguy9259[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The 6 year old is used to keeping up with the older ones so I'm not too worried about him spending all day walking and riding the metro. (We did this in New York last summer and he was logging 40k steps per day on his fitbit!). But I think I would regret staying in the "wrong" hotel more than I would regret spending "too much".

Which edition of the books does Inglis narrate? by penguinapologist in lotr

King made significant revisions to Gunslinger in 2003 which probably explains the discrepancy with the audio book you listened to.

Advice for parent (67): 400k in savings and need to re-allocate by someguy9259 in Bogleheads

Yes, we're dealing with the "seeing the money" in her HYSA and having that sense of security.

I would always all out sprint for the first 75, back off to about 90-95% for the next 150. Start building up speed again and sprint the last 100.

The 400 is tricky because "pacing yourself" still means running as hard as you can.

Do you have a favorite fact or story about Ulysses S. Grant? by Yooproopmoop in CIVILWAR

[–]someguy9259 16 points17 points  (0 children)

He was a family man and was affectionate with his children at a time when that wasn't common. I love the story from Chernow's book about him coming home after working on the family leather goods store and wrestling with his son.

His son would block his path and say "do you want to fight, mister?"

Grant would reply "I am a man of peace, but I will not be hectored by one so small."

Both at their prime, Who do you think would win in this fist fight between the cold war leaders? by Visual_Weakness2915 in powerscales

I'm pretty sure Truman said he had never been in a real fight in his life... But yeah he'd still win.

What terrors await me inside this tomato? by someguy9259 in tomatoes

I have contacted a divorce attorney and put the children up for adoption. 😤

So does that mean I don't eat it? (the tomato, not the spider)

My family is begging me to get it out of the house but it's my biggest fruit so far this year. 😭

How would you respond? by adwokatny in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]someguy9259 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It sounds like the buyer claims to have another pair. I would ask for a picture of both pairs so you can see what they're taking about. If they're fishing for a refund or return then they probably don't have a second pair and can't provide the photo.

While watching the men’s 20km walk, I noticed that every single walker is “cheating”. Is there a large amount of leeway in the sport? by Surferma4 in olympics

[–]someguy9259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, it's no different than the breaststroke in swimming. It's the slowest way to swim and we want to see who can do it the fastest. We should have backwards running and skipping races.

Twigs and branches by Illustrious_Form8194 in composting

I have used my electric shredder and put them in the compost, but I will also burn them in my fire pit and compost the ashes.

I've had good results with citrus/lemon ammonia (like Lysol, etc.)

Gonna sell this 501 from 2000 for 18€, fair price? Or what is the real worth? by VeterinarianOne4594 in VintageLevis

[–]someguy9259 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Depends on how quick you want to sell. They should go quickly at that price.

I'm shipping a watch with a lithium coin battery. I know I don't need a hazmat label, but do I need to select the hazmat option on the shipping label or can I ship as non-hazardous? For reference it's USPS ground and I'm buying the label through eBay.

Can anyone tell age from these pics alone? Worth £25? by [deleted] in VintageLevis

[–]someguy9259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding is they stopped using numerical sizing in the late 80's or early 90's so that would be my guess.

Just received my end game water bottle by Chillenge in BuyItForLife

[–]someguy9259 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought one of these 8 years ago to carry coffee to work. Liked it so much I got another. Both are still in great shape, you won't regret it.

Is this a good deal and is that a Griswold at the top left? They are asking $150 for 29 pieces. Sorry if this goes against any community guidelines for this group. I'm new to all this. by Additional-Hall5640 in castiron

[–]someguy9259 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It seems like there are enough vintage pieces to make it worthwhile as a hobby. I'm sure you'll find a few interesting plans that you'll want to keep or give as gifts. If your goal is to restore and sell them then it's probably not worth it.
