  • If you use it as storage, I would want to make sure that it is installed correctly with a looped drain hose, preferably into a p trap. Especially if it doesn't get run often. Otherwise, sewer gasses are going to come back up through the drain and whatever you have sitting in there is just going to bathe in funk.

  • Good British comedy

    Jump

  • I really enjoyed "Extraordinary". It has a lot of the same feel as coupling, maybe mixed with a bit of "Misfits".

    Speaking of which, "Misfits" first couple seasons are pretty great as well.

  • Ceiling fan for heating and the Mrs.

    Jump

  • I used to have this same conversation multiple times through the years until I realized that ultimately, it wasnt really about being right. The wife was just uncomfortable, and was going to be uncomfortable whether I was "right" or not.

    Now I mostly don't worry about the fans, cause her comfort is more important.

  • First day at work after the holidays

    Jump

  • Having an empty office where you can get work done in peace is one of those simple pleasures that are uncommonly rare.

  • Recommend me a sci-fi book with dystopian or adventure elements for a beginner.

    Jump

  • "Dungeon Crawler Carl" by Matt Dinnaman

    Great sci-fi/fantasy story with a massive dystopian backdrop and fantastic adventure elements. Character interactions are great, and it is a ridiculously fun romp.

    It has been a great reintroduction to how much fun reading can be.

    How do you nicely tell a loved one that they stink?

    Jump

  • Exactly. No fuss, and no muss. Be direct, but tactful. The more obfuscated you make this conversation, the more awkward it's going to be.

  • What do you do when you are bored?

    Jump

  • That is really cool and slightly terrifying.

  • What do you do when you are bored?

    Jump

  • Usually play guitar, play around in blender, or code. It sounds backward, but boredom does wonders for my creative side.

  • I, uh... use a pickup line with the bartender.

    Jump

  • As a DM, there are two reasons I ask this kind of question.

    If it's a player that I know is comfortable playing their role, then I am trying to get them to lean into the scene to assist with story pacing, or potentially to reveal additional information.

    There are still benefits to asking it though, even if a player is not comfortable playing out the scene. Even without a spotlighted stage, you can still obtain a lot of character development by asking for additional clarity. For instance, did the character want to use a cheesy pickup line, or maybe a humorous anecdote, maybe they want to be really suave.

    I would probably ask some leading questions like the above, but that additional info can still greatly expand the scene without turning it into a night at the improv.

  • What's a movie that feels out of its era? Either ahead or behind of its time. Or movies that don't seem like they would've been made then

    Jump

  • It's hard to overstate how important the film is to cinema. It pretty much established what the modern movie is.

    That said, based strictly off of entertainment value. IMO it is just absolutely terrible.

  • No need to apologize to me dude. If you are that age and still feel like sex is the peak of your life's achievement, then I am happy for you.

  • In fairness, I really like onion rings.

  • Depends on your age bracket, in my opinion.

    At 20, it's like catching the game winning touchdown for the national championship when your team was the underdog.

    At 40, it's like winning a hundred bucks on a lottery scratcher.

    At 50, it's like getting a free order of onion rings with your meal.

    At 60, it's like getting an extra nugget in your 9 piece.

  • What are your favourite trick-taking games?

    Jump

  • Not usually a big fan of trick taking games, but I got the opportunity to play Cat in the Box the other day and thoroughly enjoyed it. To the point that I actually intend to add it to my collection at some point.

  • Elon Musk has the worst ‘both sides’ take on latest Trump assassination attempt

    Jump

  • Who said anything about solutions. Like I said, I am just asking questions here.

  • Elon Musk has the worst ‘both sides’ take on latest Trump assassination attempt

    Jump

  • There is zero evidence for the Obama birther story, "The Big Lie" for the 2020 election, the Springfield Haitians, Kamala's audio device earnings, or any other story the GOP tries to push. Since when is evidence really needed for them?

    I mean I'm just asking questions here. If the implications make the GOP uncomfortable maybe they should address them.

  • Elon Musk has the worst ‘both sides’ take on latest Trump assassination attempt

    Jump

  • I would agree that having someone else killed would be too far for it to be staged for most people. That said, I have seen no evidence that makes me think the GOP considers anyone who isn't a billionaire or one of their mouthpieces a person.

    To them, a random person in the crowd getting killed would just be a data point in their news story. Then just pack on a blood pack, and a fake bandage to sell it like wrestlemania 23.

  • Elon Musk has the worst ‘both sides’ take on latest Trump assassination attempt

    Jump

  • I am firmly convinced, based solely on what the tinfoil hat whispers to me, that both of these "attempts" were funded by the GOP as an effort to drive media attention towards Trump.

    After all, they have fully admitted to making up stories to get media attention. Is it really too far of a stretch to think that they would pay some poor sucker they view as disposable into being a threat in his general vicinity. The whole thing just feels like a media stunt from a wrestling promo.

  • Beware this fatal design of automatic litter boxes from ali express or amazon or similar - they can be DEADLY

    Jump

  • I bought a refurbished litter robot about a year ago, and was initially aghast at myself for spending that kind of money for it, but now I am convinced it was worth the price.

    It has made one of IMO the worst parts of cat ownership significantly easier, with the upside of being better for the cats as well.

    Even with the high price I would recommend.
