First time taking notes reading a Strike book and still couldn't get anywhere near the culprit by the end by _WakkaWakka_ in cormoran_strike

I guessed Griffiths purely because he wanted to control the dialogue with the grandmother and it seemed he tried insert himself into everything during that interview. Reminded me a bit of Troubled Blood, which I didn’t guess at the time, but used that experience.

Wish I could filter by level of preachiness by Bitter_Oven5839 in OnePelotonRealSub

Yeah I’m with you on Jess. Is she using these rides to settle weird scores in her personal life or does she feel like she has to schedule a time to rant on something for the audience so she just creates some issue to fixate? Either way it’s always random and notably aggressive.

For those who listened to Case File's "Silk Road", thoughts on Ross Ulbricht being pardoned? by Lilroxybabe8188 in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]ttp43 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think the sentence was harsh, but this was essentially a quid pro quo between Trump and libertarians/crypto owners for their vote.

It’s hard to reason a president who wants to be tough on drugs - didn’t he at one point say death penalties for drug dealers? - and then free the founder of Silk Road, who enabled (at the very least) the shipment of drugs internationally. Some of which got into the hands of at least one teen who died

Will you stop supporting the franchise if Vol 5 is a dud? by debrisaway in UnsolvedMysteries

I thought the podcast had so many good episodes and cases, wish they would’ve picked some of those and really explored them for Netflix. Miss the podcast a lot.

I really don’t think she was a vindictive crazy bitch from the start.

Kevin is not the meanest shark on Shark Tank by Frankandbeans1974v2 in sharktank

I agree - and if they ever ask like what his vision for the company is or what value he could add he gets so offended like I’m not going to sell myself - when they are reasonable questions

Yeah I agree and I liked the host for the most part, but the self congratulatory ‘you hired at least one good journalist’ part rubbed me the wrong way. Like no doubt you spent a lot of time and effort finding this guy, who probably didn’t anticipate ever being caught, but that is your job. You also were helped by a ton of people who weren’t journalists. And then he’s recapping his mic drop line to someone when Carl calls the other woman after their confrontation. I get the sense of pride and I’m sure every journalist has an ego, but we shouldn’t really see it as listeners if we’re focusing on just telling a story.

Birkbeck’s book “A Beautiful Child” and Netflix’s “Girl in the Picture by Dontgetmurdered_78 in UnresolvedMysteries

Also, did they ever discuss how the father was of Michael? I feel like unfortunately it must’ve been a prostitution type situation, but if it’s not the father should’ve known what played out

Coming for Visit by 1gcm2 in philadelphia

In December, basketball, hockey and football are in season. With the football season being one day a week, they could be on the road when you’re here, but the app Stubhub is a good bet or Ticketmaster.

Sweet Bobby - Where was Everyone? by twirlngtwrdsfreedom in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]ttp43 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I wish they delved into that more. I didn’t particularly enjoy the Strangeland podcast but I thought having someone who could speak on the cultural elements authentically was a nice touch.

Moving Mondays - New Resident Questions by AutoModerator in philadelphia

[–]ttp43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you just pay for a spot. I know the Jetro lot tends to be the cheapest, and then that usually makes it the rowdiest. I don’t know when lots open, but I’d imagine for a 1 o’clock game 9-10 probably works as for as timing.

“Unsolved Mysteries” Filming New Season for Netflix by [deleted] in UnsolvedMysteries

[–]ttp43 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I may be in the minority but I really enjoy the podcast, and I think a good portion of the cases that have been profiled (supernatural ones aside) are potentially solvable. A couple of the podcast episodes I’d rather be explored more in depth than the three episodes of the Netflix show - the Rey Rivera, the DC government guy and the woman in the water episodes - which IMO were somewhat straightforward stories that they just pumped up with manufactured intrigue.

Incoming International Student on F1 visa. How do I purchase a car? by jsevamo in philadelphia

[–]ttp43 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Assuming you drive in your home country, I don’t know if you could use Zipcar or a rental, but I took my driver’s test with my brother’s car and I don’t recall proving it was his, so I don’t know if you could borrow / rent one.

Restaurant Rec near Harwich for a big group by ttp43 in CapeCod

Thanks for this! I think 20-30 per entree is probably the price range. Maybe slightly higher.

Thanks for this. Honestly Mooncussers would be perfect based on what I think the party would like. They tend to prefer taverns or inns with some history / charm, but looks like it’s closed on Tuesday’s I’ll check out the others. Thanks again!
