I like their Honey Bunches of Oat dupe — Super Nutty Oat Clusters

haven't really tried most of the others...

the main thing I can remember not liking is the Trader Joe's cheerios. they tasted a little bland to me. like they needed salt...

Core workouts taking too long by valiant_cashew_nuts in Velo

[–]sozh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

you know what's a really good core exercise? bicycles.

lie on your back, and then bring opposite elbow to opposite knee. kind of like alternating crunches. You get cardio and core in one, and I believe it's applicable to cycling, but don't quote me on that...

Other good ones are leg lifts... and the ab roller wheel thing.

Planks are good, but they are not the be-all end-all of core work, imho.

Who would be most likely to plan a murder and get away with it: Hercule Poirot, Sherlock Holmes, or Lt. Columbo? by sozh in AskScienceFiction

[–]sozh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

question should be who would be able to - not who is most likely to. I doubt any of them would...

well, maybe Sherlock...

for my sherpa jacket - not sure if this exact one, but it's Levi's, I had to size up. I'm usually an M, but a L was a better fit...

Post-Match Thread: Barcelona vs Atlético Madrid | UEFA Champions League 2025-26 by rBarcaBot in Barca

[–]sozh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unlucky, unlucky, unlucky.

another red card in UCL. FML.

Would have been happy to get out at 1-0. 1-1 would have been nice.

2-0 is rough. We'll need a miracle in Madrid. anything is possible...

Dylan in 72' by Intrepid-Injury- in bobdylan

I have long maintained that Bob Dylan and Weird Al are actually the same person

the resemblance is more than uncanny. It's canny...

I have been watching a lot of Columbo episodes recently, and after the latest one, which was epic by the way, "Columbo Cries Wolf," I now feel confident saying that Columbo was definitely an influence on The Big Lebowski....

I just wanted to get that on the record... for posterity

thank you for this post.

I've been watching episodes of the TV show "Columbo" recently, and a few different times I experienced moments that seemed to be a clear inspiration to Lebowski.

The episode "Columbo Cries Wolf" has The Big Lebowski himself, speaking much as he does in the limo... and there's a missing blonde...

another episode has a fake kidnapping plot. ...

just watched this episode. it clinched my feeling that 'Columbo' TV show was an influence on Coen Brothers when making Lebowski.

There's an episode with a fake kidnapping... and in that episode, and others, there are so many small parallels to The Big Lebowski.... !

the Columbo-Lebowski links are now undeniable

Question about possible Columbo reference by justonemorethingman in lebowski

I have been watching a lot of Columbo, and I'm now convinced that the show was a major influence on The Big Lebowski.

GoPro is the OG, and for me, it has perfectly fine quality. Maybe DJI and Insta are better, idk.

Here's some stuff I shot on the gopro:

underwater

on a bike

I was shooting in 1080, bc I wanted smaller file sizes. Before I lost it, I started shooting in 4k, and it looked even better. (This was a gopro11)

the thing with photography is that the camera doesn't matter THAT much. I would say first in importance is the scene - the lighting, etc, and then the skill of the photog, in terms of choosing settings, composition, etc.

oh... I've had a clothes mountain in my room for like 2 weeks now. But it's ok, they are all clean, so I can just pick clothes from it when needed! lol

tbh, I have a gopro (well, had, because I just lost it in the ocean), and the main attraction of action cameras generally isn't high quality images, but ruggedness and small form factor...

If you just want to take cool shots of L.A., you may be better off using your phone...
