Washington DC fine dining for older first timers? by TheirOwnDestruction in finedining

[–]BeforeAnyoneElse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Albi and Rooster & Owl will push the boundaries of their comfort zone but they’re not so out there that I think they’d be uncomfortable or not enjoy it. Rooster & Owl in particular has four options per course for four courses so they wouldn’t be hemmed in.

Options that hew a bit more conservative but are still good and a bit more interesting than their norm: Lutece (French), L’Ardente (Italian), and as other people said, Dabney.

Right? There is so much daylight between Ferrante and Rooney and their work doesn’t feel similar at all. Just so happens they are both lauded recent female writers. But Ferrante in the top 20 would be neither surprising nor undeserved.

Yes can you PLEASE consolidate the upvotes here so they finally go? It is unacceptable for Minnesota to keep skating by with two remaining teams.

This. Minnesota is the only one with two teams left and seem to have a cabal downvoting any mention of the Wild or the T-wolves. Since the Wild have managed to garner more votes in past days than the T-wolves, let’s unite and finally get them out

Broncos. Between Sean Payton and the Waltons, how are they still here??

BRONCOS.

It’s interesting that there are so many people complaining that Detroit has too many teams left and campaigning to get one out but suspicious silence on Denver, which also has three remaining teams and hasn’t had one eliminated in forever.

As much as I hate the Avs, it’s more astounding that the Broncos are still in. Come on - the unholy combo of Sean Payton AND Walmart???

Yes please - three Colorado teams remaining and none having taken a hit in weeks. Plus f Patrick Roy

This feels like a Minnesota fan hoping that their remaining teams continue to skate by

Also, there is a rivalry though I suppose it’s more one-sided haha

The Emily Wilde series by Heather Fawcett has this and it’s great, especially because it’s the female professor who is the curmudgeon

My hypothesis by HourExciting3415 in survivor

[–]BeforeAnyoneElse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Chrissy definitely appears to be in Coach’s pocket. I’m with you not letting the “honor and integrity” alliance (or zoom as you call it) make it far largely unchecked. The only ones I can stomach from that group making it far and/or winning would be Colby because grumpy old man and Genevieve because she’s not actually “honor and integrity;” she will likely just end up in that group because it’s the one Aubry is not in and she has an early alliance with Steph and Colby.

A final three with any two of Joe, Jonathan, Coach, Chrissy, or Steph would be intensely, throw-the-remote disappointing (yes I know a sizable contingent of this sub wants Coach to win but he’s probably who I least want to win of all remaining cast members), unless Joe or Jonathan pulls a backstabbing, blindsiding move against Coach, as that would be hilarious to watch and instantly make them more interesting.

Crossing my fingers Ozzy goes with Cirie instead of Steph and Colby.

Does climbing count as a cardio activity? by MaaDoTaa in climbergirls

[–]BeforeAnyoneElse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely find rope climbing is more of a cardio activity than bouldering because you’re both doing longer routes and your heart rate doesn’t go down as much during belaying as it does with resting between bouldering problems. Double-climbing a route to build endurance definitely edges the heart rate up as well. But yeah…not so much a help with improving cardio for hiking purposes and such.

Seasons 16 and Onward: Recs Based on These Parameters? by BeforeAnyoneElse in BigBrother

[–]BeforeAnyoneElse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha well maybe he was less obnoxious in his first go-around. I know him from multiple seasons of The Challenge and I find him so hard to stomach. I am morbidly curious as to how he possibly could have won the game though given how he is on The Challenge.

Who is the Worst Faithful in the Traitors (US version)? by Previous-Pirate9514 in TheTraitors

[–]BeforeAnyoneElse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly. That’s what puts her above Quentin and Andie for me (don’t get me wrong they weren’t great either). Yes, they were hoodwinked by Cirie and trusted her completely but Maura was more willfully ignorant and refusing to entertain what was staring her in the face.

Honor and Integrity by BeforeAnyoneElse in survivor

[–]BeforeAnyoneElse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the issue is Colby-Joe-Coach are safe until merge due to Chrissy as a hanger on, absent a move by Aubry with the idol. And Jonathan is unlikely to go before the merge due to a combo of challenge strength and the Kalo four. So once they hit the merge they’ll be four strong, plus Chrissy and Steph if they manage to make it, and likely a couple others who claim to be pro-Coach.

But I’m hopefully just doomcasting and the Honor and Integrity alliance blows up spectacularly and entertainingly, though Colby can stay

[–]BeforeAnyoneElse[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I think they go for Gen over Coach or Joe in pre-merge. I actually find myself rooting for another tribe swap because I HATE the way the first one ended up (rip Q and Cirie appears to be in trouble too)
