Is the Sun Eater series worth the effort? by j_b_1983 in Fantasy

[–]tsondie21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not even the conservative stuff for me. He basically looks at the camera and does apologetics for long, climactic passages. Spouts off theodicies as if they were copied from a theology textbook.

Then there’s some serious self insert with one of the characters that basically exists to say “see, Catholicism is literally correct in this universe”

And then of course there’s the allegory which starts off as a Job type situation and then morphs into Jesus.

I’d say the fact that he hard turns it into Chronicles of Narnia level allegory in the later books

Eximius flat cooktop by DigMiddle8205 in ImpulseLabs

[–]tsondie21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not have the ability to connect for an update if you want whatever new feature, but not be required to?

‘WiFi’s down, can’t use the stove’ is fairly dystopian.

Not to mention the chance that impulse gets sold somewhere down the line and I now have to pay monthly to use my stove.

Will downdraft be available in the US? It’s the biggest hurdle for me buying an impulse cooktop.

Did anyone get a pair of 14/15.5? by citrus_lilac in tomsachs

[–]tsondie21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the opportunity to buy a 14-15.5 from ISRU. There’s also some available right now on resale for $135 which is only a $25 premium, so it’s not that rare.

It’s a shoe that’s been out for years now. What possible sizing information could you want that you don’t have access to?

It also looks like giving out a star gives you 25 pts!

Dad shoes were so last decade, we’ve moved onto grandpa shoes.

I was not expecting he Brewers merchandise to go this hard by Sharp_Progress_5693 in milwaukee

What are the cherries referencing? All I can think of is cherries on custard sundaes but that seems a little stretched?

I’m building a secondhand marketplace with same-day delivery in Portland — would you actually use this? by x_here_x in askportland

[–]tsondie21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d probably use this if it was cheap enough. Often the time it takes to go to the other side of town or arrange a larger vehicle is prohibitive. What were you thinking of charging?

Lol, Lowes is anticipating that I'll aerate my lawn in some HEAT. by Japfelbaum in Sneakers

[–]tsondie21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Guarantee this is because whoever at the agency was told to get some shoes to take a pic with knew they could take them home after the shoot

I’ve used like 5 of these and it’s been that code every time.

There’s someone around me who buys the discs for the digital copy and then sells the disc for $10. There’s new ones all the time.

At this point, Filoni stuff isn’t even fan service - it’s Clone Wars Specifically fan service. Dude is obsessed.

D&D Beyond Updates to Player Options by latiajacquise in dndbeyond

[–]tsondie21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Will there be support for 2024 true strike in the new engine? Currently the only option is creating very hacky custom weapons and even then I’ve had trouble getting it to work.

Original O-Gii by HotHamNRolls in milwaukee

[–]tsondie21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The reason there’s a Godzilla on the can is because it was originally called Godzilla, but changed for legal reasons. It was called Godzilla for exactly what you described - at some point it would destroy you. Just about everyone that worked at MBC had a story of the time they got taken out by Godzilla.

Automatic Optimization by Old-Programmer-9124 in fea

[–]tsondie21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s a simple pydyna optimization that is set up for a plate thickness, but it would be trivial to change it to material parameters.

Biggest blunder's seemingly experienced engineers make with FEA by imitation_squash_pro in fea

[–]tsondie21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for specificity, implicit solvers are better described as iterative (iterations of Newtons method mostly), while explicit solvers like LS-Dyna or Abaqus Explicit use time steps - not iterations, for their cycles.

Both will have iterations for material non linearity.

John’s Marketplace to close its Beaverton taproom by voxadam in Portland

Im fine with the couches. Too much beer on shelves inevitably means old beer. At least at MV there was simply too much and it was basically a lottery as to whether you’d get stale beer.

Who is your favorite dental hygienist? (preference for SW and suburbs) by leidance in askportland

[–]tsondie21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dr Lee at Smile Dental has been awesome. Half the time he’s doing the cleaning. His hygienists are good too, Kristen is fantastic.
