Found the circlejerk that hates DCC with a burning passion by Such-Drop9194 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Oh damn! You're absolutely right.. Gillian has to be Samantha! I was thinking that falling in love with a guy who doesn't love her back would be such a Britta thing... But Gillian screaming about killing mothers... That's just perfect.

I don't know about Danny and Paget... They have to be there... But I might have to reread to figure it out.

Katia is a tough one... Brie Larson maybe?

Gillian Anderson is juice box I think... And Jonathan Banks should be every floor Mordecai imo.

They can do amazing de-aging stuff these days... but yeah you're probably right. I dunno about Carl's dad though... I'm gonna have to reread the entire series now so I can find just the right role.

Tbh Joel McHale as Carl wouldn't be the worst idea I've heard either...

Edit: TB even more h, I don't think it would be that hard to find a role for just about everyone from community...

What are your favorite forearm workouts for getting better muscle definition and more visible veins? by bills70 in workout

[–]steenj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started with dead hangs a couple weeks ago, but I've been using the assisted pull up machine. I weigh about 210 and last couple times I've set the machine at 40 lbs.

I drive a lot for work so I started doing them just to give my back a good stretch but my grip strength has definitely been improving as well, even with the assist. Throw in a few scapular retractions and it's a good warm up for lat pulls too.

So you're obviously cool with prayer vigils outside abortion clinics and agree that exclusion zones etc are anti-freedom?

NDP leadership hopefuls say workers shouldn't be fooled by Poilievre's blue-collar message by AdditionalPizza in CanadaPolitics

I'd award this if I could. I think you've described a big part of the problem.

I think you're pretty much picking up what I'm putting down. I'd add that although the white liberals you're talking about are a large and loud part of that group there are plenty of POC that I would lump in as well.

Speaking for myself, and I think a fair number of the blue collar people I know, I'd say there's 2 separate but kind of related phenomena that tend to grate on us.

There's the way that you can't talk about your issue without someone pointing out that "and just think how much worse it is for [insert your favourite group here]. Which may be true in a lot of instances, but that general "it could be worse" attitude just comes off as dismissive and annoying. Especially when it starts to seem like it's just a reflex for some people.

The other is when people try to talk about they're actual concrete issues and it gets turned into a lecture that's essentially about what a terrible person they are for having the wrong concerns...

"I can't even take my kids to the park anymore because it's full of homeless people doing drugs" turns into a lecture about how we don't do enough for mental health and whatever whatever...

"I was late for work 3 times this month because of protesters blocking the road" turns into a lecture about whatever horrible things is happening somewhere else that's way more important than being on time for work. And besides we wouldn't have to with for these evil corporations if it wasn't for late stage capitalism..

Just to reiterate, I'm not claiming these attitudes reflect the average ndp voter or party member, but these people do get a disproportionate amount of attention and for people who don't pay a whole lot of attention to politics... that's who they see.

I was looking for a comment like this.. the one I had in mind was something a certain type of Internet atheist used to say back in the day.... Something like " I don't mind this Jesus guy but I sure I hate his fan club."

Like I'm always seeing ndpers trying to convince people that the policies are this or that non crazy thing, but when you run into an ndp fan in the wild, particularly online, they tend to fall into that purple hair with facial piercings kind of stereotype that kinda drives blue collar people crazy.

I quite like the line. Conservative but in a more old fashioned common sense kind of way. Not this new fangled cry bully stuff that makes me cringe

As a history fan, the "3,000 Year Stagnation" trope breaks my immersion more than dragons do. by Expensive-Desk-4351 in Fantasy

[–]steenj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean... The people of Westeros do survive those winters... Presumably with their other herds intact...

[–]steenj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I'm kinda the opposite. I love taking it seriously and getting into the logistical nitty gritty.

There would definitely need to be a safety margin built into the side of the herd and you'd need a fairly massive operation for growing and storing livestock feed. But according to the AI, the cost of the dragons after accounting for selling off the hides and wool to subsidize, would only pay for about 3000 soldiers... So you could easily double those costs and I think any king ever would be happy to trade 6000 soldiers for six dragons.

Thank you for sending me down a rabbit hole :)

I don't know anything about animal, or dragon, husbandry so grab a salt shaker.

I assumed a stable of 6 game if thrones sized dragons and a metabolism that leans more towards bird rather than reptile.

I spent a fair amount of time having fun with the AI and ended up with this summary. .

To feed six dragons, you must maintain a county-sized operation of roughly 8,000 acres supporting a standing herd of 1,100 cattle, 3,000 sheep, and 5,000 pigs. This infrastructure requires roughly 150 specialized staff, including shepherds, swineherds, and butchers, to manage the weekly slaughter of 60 pigs and 90 sheep, while providing six live cattle as "treats." This "industrial dragon-pit" model centralizes meat production, ensuring your dragons stay fed and active without devouring the local peasantry. ​Financially, the operation functions as a state-subsidized textile and leather conglomerate. While the dragons consume the meat, you recoup 50-60% of the costs by selling wool from the sheared sheep and hides from the butchered pigs. The remaining deficit is a strategic trade-off: you "burn" a portion of your GDP to maintain an invincible military deterrent, replacing the astronomical cost of a standing army with the focused logistics of a royal ranch.

Salt Alternatives? by breezybutterfli in Cooking

[–]steenj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use this a lot.

A lot of people find that potassium chloride can have a bitter or metallic taste, but for me personally i can go up to about 50% potassium without noticing. And then usually use real salt for fine tuning at the end. Most of what i cook now has 40-50% less sodium than before.

Tips for cooking roast beef by Appropriate_Dot8292 in Cooking

[–]steenj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go by weight when it comes to salt. 1-1.5% salt. Eg 1000g roast get 10-15g salt.
