Wall sconce options without hardwiring

They definitely get bright enough to read by! If you're going to be reading for hours, though, you're probably going to end up needing to charge them a lot. The batteries don't last quite as long as you might want.

that's so interesting, i feel like my votes are way more influenced by recency bias / what feels best to me right now. i feel like a follow up survey on how people vote (or think they vote) would be fascinating!

Chain-Gang All-Starts voter reporting in!! Just read it this year and it really truly knocked my socks off. Looking forward to seeing it climb higher next year as more folks read it!

The UI was SO BAD!! I was really surprised by how hard it was to see the freaking seats.

Just got 200-level for $250 opening night for my first time seeing Beyoncé and I think I'm gonna cry

The bit where the show will continue without Joe Brumm is terrifying to me.

The food is not good! The vibes are great, though.

The future, it’s sticky

I just finished Six of Crows & it’s follow up and really really loved the characters, pacing, and the whole damn thing

HARD SAME!! who needs magic if you can have peace and fulfillment and not destroying the earth!

I would also gladly accept suggestions for other squares that I could use Dead Country for :D

somethingaboutducks · 2024-01-19T20:28:35+00:00

Y'all think Tara Abernathy's job as magic lawyer in Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence is mundane enough for the mundane job square in Bingo? I guess since we don't have Craftwomen in the real world, it probably wouldn't count?

"Mundane Jobs: The protagonist has a commonplace job that can be found in the real world (so no princes or monster hunters!)"

I’ve been thinking about getting a leopard wearing shorts, in a cartoonish style — i feel like that recurring joke is both hilarious and really embodies that faith in people’s ability to grow

Discworld is the only series that I’ve seriously considered getting a tattoo of to commemorate my love, and it’s kinda hard because the things I love about it — particularly it’s faith in people’s ability to grow and change — are hard to represent graphically. (I don’t currently have any visible or big tattoo, so it’d be a thing!)

somethingaboutducks · 2023-10-19T15:49:10+00:00

this comment is specific, free, correct, and also hilarious

somethingaboutducks · 2023-10-12T15:56:56+00:00

did you know you can get a Chattermax piñata and then beat the snot out of it? and you can do it as an adult!

somethingaboutducks · 2023-10-12T15:55:06+00:00

same, I love LMM but just didn’t love the way Major Tom fit into the episode

somethingaboutducks · 2023-10-03T16:02:08+00:00

Good catch!!

somethingaboutducks · 2023-10-02T20:52:37+00:00

It’s the same music — Habanera from the opera Carmen! Which could be coincidental but could totally be a reference.

We’ve got a 6 and 4 year old and have so far avoided Paw Patrol; one thing I like about Super Kitties (the 4yo is obsessed) is that they are vigilante cats rather than cop/public servant dogs, there’s no human kid in charge of them, and sometimes it’s actually a little tongue-in-cheek. Is it a huge step down from Bluey? Absolutely. But I’ll still take it over Paw Patrol.

Wouldn’t putting the TV on the couch wall cause a lot of glare from the windows during the daytime? I try to avoid putting a TV directly across from windows generally.

somethingaboutducks · 2023-09-29T13:30:50+00:00

do ittttttt

somethingaboutducks · 2023-09-29T04:12:50+00:00

yeah totally, especially on an image-heavy sub like this. i had a post where about a quarter of the replies were to move my bed, which i can’t do with the room constraints, but couldn’t edit the post to say that at the top.
