From on MGM+ is absolutely fantastic. I love the mystery, the horror, and everything else about it. I am excited to see where it goes. I also absolutely love Foundation on Apple TV+, amazing CGI and fantastic world (or universe) building.

I will go first with the John Wick 4 Killer poker scene and of course Casino Royale. Not looking for movies with plots completely based on card playing.(like 21) Please post your favourite scenes. Cheers

Honestly I would kill for hadestown the musical as an animated movie. Or most musicals for that.

As a 6'2 man the clothes I find which are right for my height are often very loose on me. And if I worry about the waist I look like a kid who grew a lot in the past 2 months and everything is too short for me.

Its not entirely universal, some stores are better than others. And I wear a lot of loose casual t-shirts so thats fine too. But finding dress shirts means some places work, some don't.

I'm not gonna lie I simply forget about most communities and post in the same 15 or so. Mostly big ones and specifically lemmyshitpost. I would post more in meme communities but I feel like far too many posts just don't qualify as a meme. Might be funny, not a 'meme'. And even if I do I just forget all the specific communities.

How do you manage posting stuff and what are your posting habits?

Also is there a way to check how much you've posted where?

Started doing simple dumbbell exercises recently and was curious about what others are doing.
Been trying simple neck exercises too. No weights, just chintucks and isometrics.

Please do share your experience/suggestions/opinions on the it and related topics like sports, calisthenics, general physical health etc.

Do you know any exercises that are rare? Or ones that seem special to your locality?

Regarding food:
How do you meet your protein or calorie goals? How do you track it? Especially food that is local to your place.

On a tangent:
Are there cool plants that are less known or that'd be useful if more people tried growing and including them in their diets? Do mention your locality or climate of the plant.

Very unique and unpopular opinion, I know, but I hate watching ads during a show. Fuck the advertisers; I refuse to pay attention.

Rather than doom scroll, I'd love to hear what you think I should do when ads are on.

To make things challenging:

*often I'm pinned to the couch by my senior dog who I'm loathe to move unnecessarily, so getting up and doing squats is often out

*loud activities are probably out, see above

*be specific, 'I play games on my phone' - but what can you play casually, for 30s at a time (for example) and then happily go back to watching your show?

*use adblockers bla bla, not always possible and not in the spirit of my request.

That being said, all suggestions are great - I'm sure we'll all get something from it. Stick it to the man!

I’ll go first. I love watching Over The Garden Wall every October, either on Halloween or a bit earlier. What about you?

I will start by what I know:

  • 404 Media [Tech news].
  • aftermath [Gaming news].

Any others?

For me it would be candy corn, or dots.

I'm looking for inspiration! She wants to go on a holiday at some point during the year as a gift, but I really want to give her something on Christmas day.

  1. Are you, in your estimation, intelligent?
  2. Are you wise in the way you apply that intelligence? (interpretation yours)
  3. Do you view yourself as unique and individual, or as a data point on the spectrum of humanity?

DO NOT READ IF SENSITIVE TOWARDS ANY MYTHOLOGY. People may speak of eating your favorite beings, please be prepared for such.

To start off, While I am a pescatarian, I think biblical angels would be delicious fried / grilled, specifically the ones who aren't high enough to be abstract shapes, as I do not think I can stomach a wheel.

Hi everyone. I don't know if this is the right space where to ask, but I have a problem with my old Canon 600D.

Time ago at a party, it felt and from that moment, when I try to shoot a photo with the flash, it stucks and on the monitor appears the message I've attached in this post.

And so the camera doesn't shoot with the flash.

Do you what can I do? Is there anything to fix this?

Thanks

EDIT: The error written in the photo is "Impossible take out the embedded flash. Turn off and turn on again the camera.

What are the best Halloween-themed music for today?

I have a website setup and am trying to get ad revenue (wordpress.com site). Issue is that I need a Paypal account, for which I need a phone number and bank account from the same country. I have Canadian bank stuff, but no Canadian phone number. I've checked out skype, viber, textnow, openphone, and a few other services but none work (because I'm in Lebanon and they require a phone number to sign up). Any ideas? A VPN won't work since most services are requiring that I sign in using my phone number, which is Lebanese.

Please be a little specific in your plan, not just "travel". Where do you want to travel ?
