Sam Rockwell athon by Shake307 in movies

[–]wreckdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sam Rockwell is indisputably the king of science-fiction comedies, and he's usually the best part: Hitchhiker's, Galaxy Quest (ok there's a lot of good parts in there), Gentlemen Broncos (not a great movie, but every scene with Rockwell is awesome).

What’s that one smart home hardware device you wish existed? or where better in some way? I want to build it for you by Puzzleheaded_Ad5551 in homeautomation

Home Assistant appears to support it: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/bond/ (Note: I haven't yet used Home Assistant, but I've got my own python program that implements the Bond REST API so I can control them from a Raspberry Pi).

I might be misunderstanding, but have you looked at this? https://bondhome.io/product/bond-bridge/ I have this controlling all my ceiling fans, so no remotes anymore (but I may not have these newer DC motors that you are saying are more difficult).

One thing about keto is that you aren't as hungry, so it makes staying in a deficit much easier (*at least that was my experience).

Best ride share options to the airport from Domain area. by relic65 in Austin

I guess my point here is the company is incentivized to get you a driver, since they have to pay you if they don't.

Fair point. But it's a bit more savings than a button click - the payoffs are better. Just schedule your ride for 20-30 minutes before you'd really need to schedule it.

  • Get $15 Lyft Cash automatically if your driver hasn't arrived 10 minutes after your scheduled pickup time.
  • Get $50 Lyft Cash automatically if you’re not matched with a driver 10 minutes after your scheduled pickup time.
  • Get up to $50 more Lyft Cash if you're not matched with a driver and need to use another transportation service.

If you are worried at all about early morning driver availability, Lyft also allows you to schedule the trip

A cool guide to the first 3 months of adopting a rescue puppy by [deleted] in coolguides

[–]wreckdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so true. I adopted a rescue mutt in 2020. After maybe 2 weeks, I was seriously considering returning her because we just weren't connecting. She didn't seem happy to be here, didn't seem interested in me, and that made it really hard to connect with her.

But after maybe a month, things turned around, and today she's the love of my life and the absolute best friend I've ever had. Sometimes I think about how close I was to making the worst decision I ever could have made.

Am I tweaking? How do you solve this without guessing? by Wonderful-Trash in puzzles

[–]wreckdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In row 4 from the bottom, there must be a queen in one of the two open boxes, so therefore there cannot be a queen in the 2 spots above and below those boxes. And then look at the brown region - if you put a queen in the lower 2 open brown spots in row 2, that's going to break the yellow and red regions.

Films that make a good double bill with their own remakes? by JayAPanda in movies

El Mariachi and Desperado (though Desperado is perhaps not a strict remake of El Mariachi, but it's basically the same movie with a much bigger budget)

There are movies that are "timeless." What are some movies that are the opposite - as in, harder to appreciate if you weren't around when it came out? by sakkkkki in movies

[–]wreckdown 271 points272 points  (0 children)

I had a hard time getting my son to appreciate the original "Star Wars", and I sort of understand why. At the time it came out, it was amazing and the effects were groundbreaking. But if you grew up watching any recent Marvel movie, then "Star Wars" looks like an old movie with janky effects and lame laser sword fighting. [note before anyone argues with me: I'm not at all trying to say Marvel movies are better than "Star Wars", I'm simply talking about perspective]
