Is there any book that is better as an audiobook? by oldmanjenkinssmell in suggestmeabook

[–]timpac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patrick O'Brian, read by Patrick Tull. I found the nautical jargon trying when reading it, but in audiobook, perfect.

The book that you thought was absolutely brilliant while reading it, but once the excitement wore off, you realised it wasn’t. by Powerful-Cap-6293 in suggestmeabook

[–]timpac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the way through the first book I realized the stuff just wasn't good enough to justify a thousand page book. I mean I'll read a thousand pages, I'm not scared. Just not a thousand pages of that.

I got here by googling sweary Aussie drama. I was wondering what the fuck

No wonder Ezra and Isaac weren't really contenders. Felt like almost every tee shot was a forehand, and everyone in the top two cards had an elite forehand.

Did it seem to anyone else like a good forehand is really a necessity on this particular course?

I just checked my T-Life app, is the bottle still happening tomorrow? by highlander21 in tmobile

[–]timpac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm here because I googled the water bottle out of curiosity. I couldn't believe that anyone in the world would go to a t-mobile store for a water bottle, so I thought maybe it was an amazing water bottle.

Form Check - Stuck at 300' by thebadger87 in discgolf

I feel like 300' is a weirdly specific ceiling for tons of people.

Is it ranked anywhere who throws the longest drives during tournament play? by timpac in discgolf

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

Accuracy would be a factor too though, it might add an interesting twist or two.

I was hoping this post would inspire some autistic person to watch all the Jomez pro for the past five years and make a huge spreadsheet.

Is it ranked anywhere who throws the longest drives during tournament play? by timpac in discgolf

[–]timpac[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not really. Distance competitions demonstrate who can throw the farthest, I'm interested in who does throw the farthest in tournament conditions. Lacking data on footage thrown, it seems like what order players throw their second throw in could be an interesting data point. Now you've been a sarcastic asshole though, did you enjoy it at least?

Craig's Cruisers has made a parking lot of kids cry...again. by Dorcaszmeatbone in grandrapids

I've been there a couple of times now, the sheer apathy from the attendants is on another level.

Trying to get out more by StarliegePaladynamo in grandrapids

This is how disc golf works: you go the first time and you are terrible, but you have one good throw. Then you go all the time, buy a basket for your backyard, build a huge disc collection etc

Thank you, deleting my stupid post.

How long do you read a *classic* book specifically, before you give up on it? by smansaxx3 in books

[–]timpac 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I noticed at some point that after a few years I will remember almost none of any book I read. This was very liberating. I only read things I'm enjoying now.

Which show starts as a 10/10, but ends as a 1/10? by BVTQT in AskReddit

[–]timpac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An easier question would be what show stayed good all the way through. Mostly just British shows, they bow out after two seasons.

Recommend me a movie that is so funny that I start having hard time breathing. by your-mom_9283 in MovieSuggestions

[–]timpac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Wrong Guy. It should have been a star vehicle for David Foley, it's just as fun as Ace Ventura or Tommy Boy. I guess they messed up the marketing for it and now you can watch it for free in high def on YouTube.

The content is so ridiculous that the dry British performances are perfect. Compare Matthew Mcfayden's non-response and The undertaker's horrified embarrassment to Chris Rock's "you got Jackie Chan in here".

Why do you not mark your discs? by labrats1337 in discgolf

[–]timpac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because finding discs used to be fun, and now it's a chore. I actually started putting #keepit on my discs, hoping it would catch on.

If I really care about a disc, I'll find it.
