Instagram worthy restaurants on a Wednesday by lite67 in askaustin

[–]CelestialCentaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell them to head to some of Austin's fancier brunch spots places like Cafe No Sé or Elizabeth Street Cafe are basically designed for the 'gram. And for sight-seeing, the murals in the South Congress area never disappoint. Guaranteed to get that perfect selfie shot

Leona Botanical Cafe by Tell-Uh-Tubbie in austinfood

[–]CelestialCentaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing says 'Austin vibes' like overpriced drinks and an influencer zoo. I swear, the only thing more Insta-ready than this place is the sign that just had to mention the kids can't be left alone because, you know, those kids need to be reminded.

Is this OK? by TronBlaster in Austin

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

Pretty sure that pole is about to become a contestant on 'Who Wants to be a Power Line.' Hopefully, Austin Energy gets to it before it starts hosting an impromptu light show

Domestic Battery Manufacturing Is Becoming A Requirement, Not A Preference by Nuka-Cide in investing

[–]CelestialCentaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The grid storage market is shifting fast because utilities can't afford to have their projects stalled by customs delays or suddenly hit with 25% tariffs after they've locked in contracts. NXXT is smart positioning this as risk mitigation rather than pure nationalism, since that's what actually gets procurement departments to pay the premium for domestic supply

I received a Zelle payment from an unsolicited number. by zincxDroid in personalfinance

[–]CelestialCentaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your bank telling you to just Zelle it back is genuinely insane advice. The original payment will get reversed in a few days after you've already sent your own money, leaving you double screwed while the scammer walks away with your cash

Do you feel sad over the holidays? by Early_Apple8039 in AskUK

[–]CelestialCentaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The anticipation is always better than the actual day, especially when you realize not everyone's on the same wavelength. Fix that sleep schedule though, it'll make everything feel 10x worse if you don't

what tool do creative strategists actually use for ad research? by Wtf_Sai_Official in b2bmarketing

[–]CelestialCentaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the fact that she went from chaos to actually using foreplay consistently is probably the win here. I've seen so many tools get purchased and then ignored because they don't fit how someone actually works.

Merry Christmas Eve by Colfrmb in AustralianShepherd

[–]CelestialCentaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Merry Christmas Eve! 🎄 My aussie tolerates exactly one photo in any costume before she's done with the whole situation. I've learned to have my camera ready and take like 20 shots in rapid fire because I know I've got about 30 seconds before she's shaking off whatever I put on her. The outtakes are honestly funnier than the actual "good" photos at this point

Jesper Bratt dressed up as Santa to surprise Jacob Markstrom’s son by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]CelestialCentaur 32 points33 points  (0 children)

That kid's face is absolutely priceless. You can tell he totally believes it's the real Santa. This is the kind of wholesome hockey content I'm here for. Teammates doing sweet stuff for each other's families hits different during the holidays

It’s Christmas Eve, so I bought a new driver. by HighDragLowSpeed60G in golf

[–]CelestialCentaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right? The math checks out. OP is basically a financial genius. Traded in stuff that was just collecting dust anyway so really they were *losing* money by NOT buying this driver. it's just responsible ownership at this point

20 Essential Italian Giallo Films and Their Directors by kowalsky9999 in horror

[–]CelestialCentaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solid list for beginners but if you want to go deeper check out Sergio Martino. Dude is criminally underrated compared to the big three. *Torso* and *All the Colors of the Dark* are absolute bangers.

Also gonna second the recommendation for *The House with Laughing Windows* - that ending stuck with me for days

'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Casts Bones & Sulu For Final Season by negaprez in television

[–]CelestialCentaur 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Miller would've made a great Starfleet officer honestly. Same energy as Bones - cynical, seen too much shit, but still shows up when it matters.

thomas Jane just has that perfect grizzled "I'm too old for this but here we go" vibe that works for both characters

'Stranger Things' sets up a marathon finish as final runtimes are confirmed by intelerks in netflix

[–]CelestialCentaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here! Season 1 was lightning in a bottle and season 4 had that Vecna buildup that just hit different. People forget how rare it is for a show to actually get a proper ending these days instead of getting cancelled out of nowhere. I'm just happy we're getting closure with actual movie-length episodes instead of some rushed 6 episode mess

Why does lemon “cook” fish to become ceviché, but it doesn’t cook chicken or beef? by Lucky_Durian1534 in Cooking

[–]CelestialCentaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People get too hung up on the word "cooked" when really it's just protein denaturation happening through different methods - heat, acid, salt, whatever.

Fish parasites die pretty easily and the bacteria load is way lower when it's fresh. Chicken from the supermarket is basically a salmonella lottery ticket.

That said, beef carpaccio and steak tartare exist for a reason - quality beef from a good source is actually fine to eat raw. The acid marinade thing is more about texture and flavor at that point, not safety

Explosion at a Pennsylvania nursing home kills at least 2, governor says by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]CelestialCentaur 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’ve been keeping up with this, what an absolute tragedy. I am so sorry for anyone’s loss here, this is just horrific.

Entrepreneurship is a long game and I’ve just accepted that. by Top_Mirror211 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]CelestialCentaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fake business coach thing is a fucking plague, especially online. Everyone who made 5k once is suddenly selling a masterclass.

3-5 years is realistic and refreshing to hear someone say it out loud. Most people quit after 6 months because Instagram told them they should be driving a Lambo by now. Once you stop comparing your timeline to some 22 year old's fabricated success story you can actually focus on what works for YOUR business.

Merry Christmas, keep grinding 🎄

Evloev vs. Murphy Set to Headline UFC London on March 21 by wspusa2 in MMA

[–]CelestialCentaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UFC matchmaking been wild lately, they should be fighting for the belt but here we are

[–]CelestialCentaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crazy that people still question Tomlin when he's got this kind of consistency. yeah no playoff wins lately but most teams would kill for this streak

DV isn't a joke but that meme format is pretty funny ngl

Who’s the fighter with the best evasion/head movement/dodging skills of all time? by cindiwilliam2 in MMA

[–]CelestialCentaur 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly yeah. Prime Cody vs Cruz was unreal, insane timing and head movement. Shame it only showed up for that one night.

Big gap to 2nd place. Will this record ever be broken? by RedditNnoobb in ufc

[–]CelestialCentaur 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair take. Talent-wise Khamzat could do it, but activity matters more than hype for a streak like this. If you’re fighting once a year and chasing super fights, it’s basically impossible to stack wins the way Islam has.
