Seeing stuff like this makes me wonder how well Matterhorn would translate to the big screen. It’s one of my favorite novels precisely because the author is so good at setting the story’s set pieces, but I wonder if that’s something that could be duplicated on a cinematic scale, or if it’s best left to the reader to draw these pictures in their brain.

Edit: oops, didn’t see that we’re on a new page.

went to a happy hour that was fully comped, which is refreshing since it was an extremely upscale place and my alcohol tab was almost 45 bucks for three bulleits on the rocks

hit it off completely unintentionally with a girl that was 110% my type but regrettably about 4 years too young and also on my larger admin team

Matterhorn is a masterpiece that I am afraid would get butchered in the translation to film.

If Vas is ~35 then his minimum partner age should be 24.5 years. This is based on some extremely reliable calculations.

I hope you were curteous enough to wait until they'd turned around to throw it in the trash.

E: As a fellow 35er, I learned the hard way to not seriously date anyone under 30, calculations be damned. The life experience gap is huge, makes mutual respect hard.

There are not different stages of adulthood. Just varying degrees of confusion.

Half your age plus 7. How is this not common knowledge.

35/2=17.5+7= 25 is your bottom line. Round whichever way you choose when figuring odd years.

Half your age plus seven isa rule to just be "not creepy".

That's a pretty low bar goons.

That being said, vas, I understand the sentiment, but if you vibed that hard, I say just see each other for a while, even as friends. You're changing jobs pretty often yeah? I feel like personal intimacy would be in short supply with a life like that, but do what feels right to you.

Half your age plus seven is the "okay to bone" range (with a hard floor of 18, you monsters), not the "okay to relationship" range. Hell, I'm 30 and I would seriously balk at dating a 25 year old. Fuckin' is a different story.

Also, I get the reasoning of differences in life stages. However, my wife thought the same thing of me. I was too young blah blah blah. I proved I was different, and here we are still married years later.

Age is relative. I know 50 year olds who act like goddamn children.

Now seems like a better time than ever to poach 30-somethings who still live with their parents. I imagine most don't have kids but do have $100k in private school debt.

Stainless steel Costco pans work for me, after "polishing" the bottoms and seasoning them, but I'm just a home cook that hosts more than an amateur chef or gourmet.

Clad bottom and fully clad pots are crazy good at transferring heat in predictable ways. It really is life changing.

If you want good cookware for cheap and don't mind mixing and matching, Home Goods or TJ Maxx will have All-Clad pans, great cutting boards, and other good quality kitchen wares at a huge discount. I go there all the time for kitchen stuff on the cheap.
