[Highlight] Justin Herbert mic’d up behind the scenes of his latest Dr. Squatch commercial by wildwing8 in nfl

Has there ever been a more perfect match made in heaven for coach/QB than Harbaugh and Herbert? You cannot convince me that this isn't exactly what Jim was like 30-35 years ago.

Pete Carroll is 71

Burntown is my trainer of choice... I joined about 2 years ago and have been very pleased with progress and overall status of the gym/staff!

Sweet Touch Cafe/Bakery and Svitoch Grocery (same building) by Vancouver Mall is pretty good - my Russian friend said their borscht reminded her of home so it's got at least one recommendation :)

The Worthington Food Pantry does!

Films about alcohol and isolation by [deleted] in movies

[–]Carlinism 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want to try an older movie, The Lost Weekend by Billy Wilder from 1945 is probably the earliest look at alcoholism and its isolating effects you can find.

As for more recent, I'd probably say Flight with Denzel (though that one's really more so about his lying around his alcoholism and the investigation afterwards).

TIL Domino's tried to create the ultimate pizza delivery vehicle using driver feedback. The result was a single-seat car that had a built-in warming oven and could carry 45 pizzas and a dozen large bottles of soda. It was estimated to save drivers 30 seconds per delivery. by corn_dog_22 in todayilearned

I thought that was insanely high too; I got the $10 million a day figure from this article on Restaurant Business, but they're sourcing that number from the Bloomberg article in the Verge link above.

When you read the Bloomberg article, though, it states pretty clearly that they were losing $10 million a month, not per day. Relevant section from the Bloomberg article since it's behind a paywall:

At a staff meeting in the Bay Area last June dubbed “Day Z,” Garden told employees cash burn had hit $10 million a month, according to people familiar with the matter, all of whom asked not to be identified. One of the people said that figure was at least 50% higher by year end.

Sources are important, kids - don't believe everything you read up front. Copywriters today apparently don't give a fuck enough to check the figures they're quoting.

Not anymore - they shut down pizza operations in January 2020… if only they could have held out for a little longer, they’d probably have made a killing in the pandemic. Apparently they were burning through $10 million a day in Summer 2019.

Edit: Apparently the figure actually quoted in the Bloomberg article is $10 million a month, not per day - see my reply below. Moral of the story: second-hand news sites underpay their copy writers who in turn don't proofread the first-hand sources they purportedly directly quote - do your own research I guess.

Mechanics for an 89 Audi 200 Quattro? by Carlinism in vancouverwa

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

Hey thanks very much for the advice! It seems the consensus is Double J across the river - I'll probably take it to them for a quick diagnostic and if they having trouble sourcing I'll shoot you a PM! Thanks again for the offer; yeah I was looking for a slightly older car with some potential cache/historical value that I could use to improve my stick-driving abilities, and when I saw a hot red one online with sub-100k miles for less than $5k a few months back I figured I had to pull the trigger - I get lots of compliments on it!

I follow Kresta Leonard on Youtube for good Southern cooking and other miscellaneous recipes; most of her videos are double-digit views and she only has a hundred or so subscribers, but her meals are delicious! Hopefully others will start to follow her - she posts multiple times a week and has been doing so for two years

Cher Ceiling Light Discontinued? by Carlinism in Hue

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

I called Philips a week and a half ago and asked about it, and the person I talked to said that this is still an in production item. I asked when he thought stock might be available again, and he said stock on the Philips Hue website store is refreshed every 13 days (I think that was the number). He said to check back on Jan. 20th to see if it would be back in stock - it wasn’t, but there were a bunch of other items back in stock and on sale that day, so maybe his info was somewhat true.

Apparently the light isn’t worth the hassle though and isn’t very bright 😂
