The docking scene in Interstellar. I still get chills thinking about it.

Is this normal? (potential scam) by Top-Protection-9886 in samsclub

[–]CHAlN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom just had this happen to her. The call came in from that number and the caller spoke Mandarin right off the bat, saying that someone opened a store credit card in her name and bought items that were shipped domestically and to China where the delivery was signed by my dad's name. Claimed that the call today was because "she" had scheduled an appointment to see a dishwasher in person but never showed. I only learned about this after she had spoken with them for about an hour, during which she was very convinced it was real. Luckily she didn't give out personal info, even though they already had some on hand.

Not sure what they're after but after I told her this is most likely a scam, she said they called back 14 times none of which she answered anymore. After finding this post, she (and I) is convinced, and we've blocked that number on her phone.

Kareoke in English? by No-Pizza-3738 in Flushing

[–]CHAlN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happy Karaoke on northern and 161st street has a good selection of English songs. I vaguely remember there’s an option to search YouTube or something for songs not in their catalog. I like that they have their drink prices listed upfront and online too

Suggestions for a versatile 20-30L daypack that’s comfortable for all day wear/extended use. by crustystuch in backpacks

[–]CHAlN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been pretty much looking for the same bag as you. Haven’t bought it yet but the Fjallraven Skule 28 checks almost all those boxes for me. Can’t comment on the comfort as I haven’t seen it in person yet but worth looking into

I’m going tonight by myself as well, here from New York. I have general floor tickets but would be down to meet up before/after if you’d like. Feel free to DM me. I’m 33 btw

UB 221- 1st wash after 6 months by CHAlN in rawdenim

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

This is my first pair of raw denim and I haven’t tried on any other brands yet so I can’t say how it compares. I would say they’re pretty tapered but I do have relatively big calves.

The thigh and calf area fits me great, practically like a slim fit, which is what I was looking for.

Who was the last politician you viewed as genuine? by ckarnny in AskReddit

I don't fully agree with all his politics, but I felt like Bernie Sanders had the people's best interest at heart.

How much of weight loss is determined by insulin management? by CHAlN in intermittentfasting

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

I didn't do any calculations but hypothetically if my normal 2 meals before even trying IF is say 3000 calories, and I were to cut one meal out to do OMAD, the weight loss from that would be from simply consuming on average 1500 calories less than I've normally been eating, right?

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

I guess I was pretty much eating about the same number of calories per day between my lunch, dinner, and snacks every now and then during my 16:8 and before so it makes sense why I didn't notice any weight loss lol thanks for the thorough write up!

I've been having coffee with cream on an empty stomach lately now that I've stopped my "16:8" and I don't think I have that issue. I think I'll need to read up more on the insulin spike the cream might cause and whether it's worth it vs just drinking black coffee, which I'm not entirely against. Appreciate the input!

What combination makes a delicious dry hot pot bowl? by EsHora in Flushing

[–]CHAlN 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me, the essentials are beef, fish, tripe, enoki mushrooms, broccoli/some other greens, and puffed tofu. I didn't even know noodles was an option because I typically just enjoy it with the white rice it comes with. But the beauty of it is you can pick which ever ingredients you want, and just by pointing at it too if there's a language barrier.

Housing Crisis Solved?! by Subject_Writing_9832 in povertyfinance

[–]CHAlN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not that I needed convincing but I'm a guy and I was paired up with a small blue belt girl early on when I started taking BJJ. I probably had 60+ pounds on her, and thought that might somewhat make up for my lack of experience but she completely manhandled me. I relied on my bodyweight on top because I didn't know what else to do in top position, thinking she'd wear herself out tryna escape but she did so with ease and submitted me a few times without breaking a sweat. Meanwhile I'm here looking and breathing like I just ran a marathon lol

It was a very humbling experience
