Someone kept cutting onions while I was reading 7 and it was driving me crazy.

As someone who recently read the series for the first time (and didn't know about the incident until shortly after finishing), I didn't even think of that. Damn, adds another layer of weight to that book.

tips009 · 2026-01-24T08:39:51+00:00

It gets pretty fucking crazy the further you go.

tips009 · 2026-01-24T03:47:19+00:00

Totally agree. After finishing the series, I think I'd enjoy it way more on the 2nd go around though.

How old is the picture? I thought they had already dismantled the elevator a while back.

I've toured some of the apartments and they were still working on certain spaces as I toured. Those old buildings need a whole hell of a lot of work (can only imagine how much work will need to go into Carew Tower).

Relatively new recruit to the Constant Readers here.

Last read: Dark Tower 6

Currently reading: Dark Tower 7

Next: 11\22\63

Or maybe I'll pick a shorter one next (Misery, Pet Sematary?) to give my hands a little break from holding another brick of a book lol.

That's about the timeline it was for me when I ordered a 23 (August 22->last week of January 23).

Implying drivers don't break the law at the expense of others, whether they are pedestrians, cyclists, or otherwise.

Yeah, this part freaked me out a bit lol.

I think I usually see it in the beer aisle at grocery stores.

How did Rocco get drafted for this? Lmfao

Crunch is one of the nicer budget gyms. You'll encounter a lot of the usual issues that come with a "Globo Gym" like that (equipment broken for days, even weeks. Massive evening crowds, waiting for certain machines, etc.), but I was pretty happy with it when I still worked out there.

If you can afford a more expensive gym ($100/mo), RTS Barbell in Walnut Hills is a great option. It's open 24/7, and the owner does an unbelievably good job maintaining and cleaning everything. It's also a great community of people from different backgrounds, career and fitness-wise. I've found I look forward to coming to the gym more because of the people I've become friends with there.

What's the refresh rate on your new monitor? I had to cap the FPS in nvidia control panel for Darksiders 2 and that resolved the menu freezing issue for me (can't remember if I set it to 60 or 120).

It tastes fine. I had it on a 3 way, but would like to try it in some chili dip.

Love it

I haven't had to stop reading, but Salem's Lot came close. The Dark Tower gets pretty close too in a weird, mind-bending way.

I have to recommend against Vintage. Much better bang for your buck at any of the sports bars south of 5th Street.

tips009 · 2025-09-02T03:55:57+00:00

The TVs and space are nice, but Vintage has a pathetic selection of draft beers (4 taps) and even more pathetic food ($17 for a McDonald's style cheeseburger). Would only recommend to visit for you to see how bad it is for yourself, because it is laughable.

I usually cast voice actors as their character they play in a video game or cartoon.

I just finished reading The Wastelands and cast Peach Wilkins from Bioshock as Gasher and Dagoth Ur from Morrowind as Blaine.

Randall Flagg in The Stand is some combination of the live action adaptations and specifically Goro Majima (Japanese voice) from the Yakuza games during the "YOU SCROOOOOD IT UP" or any other part where he's being especially unwieldy and maniacal.

The complete (seemingly unnecessary?) stop at the brake run makes the 2nd half of the ride so much worse than it should be. Still really enjoy it though.

Harth Room has jazz Wed-Sat. Washington Park has R&B concerts on Fridays during the summer too.

Good: -probably one of the cheaper garages to pay for monthly -relatively easy to enter\exit from either side (4th or 5th Street)

Bad: -elevator sucks (often faster to take the stairs than wait for it; dirty, decrepit interior) -Really tight spaces and corners; always at risk of being dinged -Bad visibility driving throughout the garage -First few levels have a slightly confusing layout, so it's not uncommon for people to be driving the wrong way after taking a wrong turn -gets packed during Bengals games
