LPT Request: How do you make friends with other parents or meet new people in general? My wife and I were recently invited to a play party with other kids from our daughter’s school. We got there and you could just feel the awkwardness of everyone (including ourselves). We tried to generic small talk about who are you, what do you do, what do you like about the school or dislike and the conversations quickly go nowhere once the to…

Billions quality (and Showtime series in general) I’m watching the new season of Billions and let’s just say….it’s not great. Like I understand Billions has never really been a “great” show and is more fun than prestigious or quality but this season is really starting off comically bad. Kinda like Shameless…..and Homeland……..and Dexter…….and Ray Donovan……shit even Yellowjackets season 2 was a m…

As a hypochondriac, I had buried myself into a hole thinking it was all sorts of conditions which would require sp…

What are your general thoughts on Criminal minds I must say that Gideon is my favourite character on the show. Although he is not everyone’s cup of tea since he can be a little abrasive. But he was the reason why I watched the show in the first place. I also liked Elle but I know newer fans of the show don’t particularly like her. I guess I liked those two characters because of nostalgia. How…

‘General Hospital’ to Employ Temporary Writers During WGA Strike submitted by /u/Kimber80

LPT: In general, the larger the menu a restaurant has, the worse the quality of food will be. I’ve worked in a lot of different kinds of kitchens, and this can be said for most restaurants. *I think an exception to this can be brunch/diners/breakfast, and that’s only because they have eggs as the base of most meals and generally the meal are actually various combinations of things they cook with frequently.* Why? 1. Cooks have less prac…

Zoom Lens vs. Prime Lens for Everyday Lens and General Use I’ve been shooting birds with a Nikon D7200 for a little over a month now with a 70-300mm lens. Although bird photography is my primary interest and I’ve been having a very good time, a telephoto lens like that isn’t very conducive to trying out other types of photography. I’m thinking of getting another lens for portraits, group photos, wider l…
