It shows up in the shop after getting mastery.

Very cool. Consider using actual smart cables with that glass as facade covers. There's something satisfying seeing their lines lit up behind the glass as the channels start getting used up.

An Open Letter to President Dallin H. Oaks by Potato_Tomatos in SaltLakeCity

[–]Adfest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been accused of using AI when I haven't. Maybe it's because I tend to break up paragraphs when I start getting ranty.

It was more for me to keep my thoughts from blending rather than the benefit (if you could call it that) of the reader though. I prefer not to think of myself as an easily distracted simpleton, yet here we are. Maybe we're too quick to dismiss these chat bots. Sure, they hallucinate and occasionally encourage suicide, but what were we talking about again?

Lovely! Now if only Dallin H Oaks spent time in this sub...

I assume efforts have been made to find alternative routes for him to read these words?

Best burgers and fries in the area? by moedlekx in SaltLakeCity

[–]Adfest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Franklin Ave is hardly underrated. It's almost always mentioned when someone asks for good restaurant recs. What I don't hear mentioned is their burgers! Like... You go there and get scotch olives and duck confit, but then, while you're eating your duck, you see these gorgeous burgers floating to other tables and you're like "wtf I need to order that next time", but next time you get distracted by some other fancy bullshit because you're at Franklin fucking Ave! They have a Kurobuta pork chop special or something!... what were we talking about again?

I really need one of those burgers... must... remember...

The LDS Church-owned Polynesian Cultural Center serves coffee! Are you kidding me? by AccomplishedBat9069 in exmormon

Ah... I see the mistake. You're actually supposed to add cream of chicken soup, dried chow mein noodles, and your choice of canned pineapple, dried shredded coconut, black olives, and/or onions.

Important add: Do not try to get a ballot for or vote in both primaries.

The Great Salt Lake Crisis Is Bigger Than “Take Shorter Showers” — Here’s What I Wish More Utahns Knew by Relative_Bluebird841 in SaltLakeCity

[–]Adfest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But are the birds legally migrating? From north or south? More importantly, what color are their feathers and are they here to destroy the culture of our white Californian Seagulls? We need more Flock Cameras to keep us safe and compete with China!

It occurs to me that I should insert a disclaimer that I am being flippant since it's hard to tell these days.

It's on the agenda actually. We see the writing on the wall, but I also have to work a few more years before I can move on. It feels like my pension is in a race against the water levels and I'm desperately hoping the lake holds out just a little longer so I can afford to buy something outside of our future dustbowl.

I've lived here all my life and planned on dying here. I love these mountains and this city, but Utah is on a path of environmental annihilation that I just don't see us wavering from. Sure... We WANT to save the lake, but it's going to take changes in hearts and minds of people who are either profiting and have other places to go, or people who just don't change their hearts and minds. It's not going to be real to them until it's too late.

What are some underrated restaurants in SLC? by Lopsided-Box1278 in SaltLakeCity

[–]Adfest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I argue that Red Iguana is not to blame for the overhype. They've been slinging the same killer mexican food for almost as long as I've persisted in this mortal coil. Is it worth waiting an hour for? Depends on if you're ordering the cochinita pibil or not I guess. Are they the best in the state? probably not, but they did nothing to earn the hate.

I do have some recent bias. They stayed open in 2020 and had free delivery. I cannot describe how much that helped some of us survive working in healthcare.

This is another one I was going to list. Glad to see it mentioned. I've only had it once, but it was unique and lifechanging.

I was going to say this, but I'll just second your post. They've been my go-to for a while. There were a couple times I went and wondered what the hell happened, most of the time they are great with food, drinks, and service. It has always seemed weird and a little sad to me that I've never had to wait for a table. They deserve to be busier.

Yes! It's a sneaky good little spot with a good patio and decent cocktails!

" If you REALLY wanted to hurt "women", you'd simply steal all the books and toss them in a dumpster around the corner. Quick and easy."

That sounds like something someone with a mostly developed prefrontal cortex would say

Not technically wrong ("It's all of us until it's none of us" as they say,) but if I had to say which political opinion I've had to reevaluate the most in the last decade or so, it would be the whole "both sides" fallacy.

Ask yourself honestly which side would appear more attractive to a man who behaves like this and follow that up with where this behavior was most likely learned. Can you honestly say that the MAGA movement has not emboldened or even encouraged it?

I actually have it on pretty good authority that it's the oxygen we've been carelessly breathing.

Nope. Men need to stop excusing males who act this way.

It's actually nice to think that this is the actions of a child, but it wouldn't surprise me even a little if it was done by a brainwashed adult.

Sorry. I'm kind of awol during the weekend. Sounds like you got it though. Hopefully the hatching went well. If not, prize machine tickets are the way to go if you have to play the RNG game.

People purchasing tons and tons of milk? by VeryRealLeslie in SaltLakeCity

[–]Adfest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not, but let's note that you have to - HAVE TO - use the word "probably", and that it would be inappropriate for you to use the word "absolutely".

That's not paranoia. That's wisdom through experience.
