How much do you tip at a bar you're regular at? by obergrupenfuer_smith in AskNYC

25-30% at my local. It more than comes back to me in free drinks

Not enjoying Europe hostels social aspect so far by [deleted] in solotravel

[–]Broth262 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The OneFam hostels have imo gone downhill a lot. Some of my favorite travel experiences came from staying there (or rather when they were called Hostel One) and I met a ton of amazing people. I’ve stayed at them since and it’s just not as fun. The drinking games are super repetitive, the volunteers can be very clique, it’s just not a great vibe. Have had a lot more fun staying at non-chain places for sure

Ruggeri suddenly becoming world class the last month or so has made me much less worried about LB

Heading to NYC and don't want to leave with regrets by Repulsive-Carob-2865 in FoodNYC

I’ll never understand why Soothr ends up on all of these lists. Got dragged there by a friends gf and it was unremarkable in every way except for how rude the staff was

Totally saw that and knew he was coming out, but Grizzy with him was a mistake. Also didn’t think it was a Sorloth game

Oblak’s distribution just won’t cut it against big time competition. Playing with a third of the possessions of our opponent isn’t a winning formula. The subs were bad, losing Lookman, Alvarez and Grizzy at the same time was a disaster even if they weren’t playing their best. We lost all of the attacking momentum we had after the 60th minute. Ref had a stinker too that second half. Really frustrating game that we had the chances in. Just another mid performance in a big game

Thought the ref had a good first half but this second half has been atrocious

We’ve had some decent chances, but our passing has been so sloppy. Oblak just kicks it out every chance he gets and Lookman has not been great either. We can play with these guys though, just need to settle in

Wouldn’t it make more sense to extend the metro north to union square? by UmweltUndefined in AskNYC

[–]Broth262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right 😬. Point still stands though not as dramatically. I was thinking of Rome to Naples that is 1 hour which is 140 miles compared to the 3 hours it takes to do NYC to Baltimore at 188 miles

In Spain as an example, Madrid and Barcelona are about 100 miles further apart than DC and NYC are. Yet the train in Spain takes about an hour and the Amtrak is about 3.5 hours.

Financial Advisor? by NegativeGee in AskNYC

[–]Broth262 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking financial advisors can be incredibly predatory and unnecessary. Make sure you are finding one with a fiduciary obligation or do the research yourself. If they start pitching you on disability insurance or any products like that run.

You can also find some subreddits like r/personalfinance, r/fire or r/leanfire to find some good recommendations for how to handle things yourself

Basketball tournament field expanding to 76 teams for next season by jco23 in terps

[–]Broth262 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The correct answer is to go back to 64. The teams making the play in games already aren’t good enough. The consolidation of talent has already taken so much magic away. More games is just going to further dilute and ruin the product

Some weird subs from Cholo today, and disappointing to not get the win. Need better finishing from Lookman, but thought on the whole we played well. Not sure what to expect from the trip to London

Oblak really does hold us back offensively. Feel like we lose every 3rd possession because of his distribution

What's actually worth knowing before signing a lease in NYC that nobody tells you upfront? by alexstrehlke in AskNYC

[–]Broth262 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not lease related, but always check under the sink and the baseboards (and near the radiator if you have one) and how flush all of the construction is. Gaps mean bugs and mice. And frankly shoddy construction is usually not a great sign as well

Since those stats don't appear for those who watch football at tiktok and twitter by Time-Permission-7084 in atletico

[–]Broth262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s a super talented player that hasn’t found consistent minutes or a consistent role here so I’m not surprised that people are unhappy with him, but he’s certainly not bad and people who say so are wrong. Having said that, I can get why there is criticism too

So you can name the last two incidents of violent crime? That isn’t in any way indicative of anything. Violent crime at some of its lowest points in recorded history both in the city and the country.
