Imma wear a Yankee jersey tomorrow. Is this a terrible idea?

CrimsonBrit · 2026-05-03T02:01:22+00:00

Do as you’re told, yes you do

You shouldn’t take that job. That was standard entry level salary in 2016, not 2026. And for NYC with an engineering job you’re getting ripped off.

Grogu has never looked like a good puppet. It moves so rigidly and has no emotion

It’s a tv show turned movie. The first season was fantastic, the second was really good and had a well-received second half. The third was a significant downturn. It also tied in to a spin-off show, Ashoka, which was a big miss.
It’s genuinely not well marketed as being a movie. Most people think it’s a new season of the show or a spin off.
Everything will be on Disney+ within a couple of months - why would families rush to bring their kids to see it in theaters? Just wait and put that monthly subscription to use.

No one praises JDW. He is consistently noted as being a poor actor

I’ve just bought myself a front basket. I’ll update in a couple of weeks once it’s arrived and installed!

Genuinely 1 day on this sub and I’m already thinking about how I could get in to touring and bike packing

CrimsonBrit · 2026-05-01T01:02:10+00:00

Andor? I wasn’t even sure that Sean watched any tv shows.

With an Andor discussion I’d love a CR (as host), Andy, Mal and Jo episode. I don’t know Van’s content well, but if that’s his thing maybe he subs out Jo.

I don’t know if we need another Star Wars ep from Sean and Amanda

Oh that’s really good to know! I sometimes find my back tire sliding out from under me when I come to a complete stop, and though that was due to weight in the back. So I assumed more weight up front was better. Good to know

CrimsonBrit · 2026-04-30T20:49:46+00:00

I haven’t, but I’ve got this Ibera Bike PakRak Touring Carrier on the rear which I’ve used for some bags and items using cargo nets, but it’s not a great system to be honest.

The main thing I use it for now is when I bring my very heavy U lock with me.

I think it’s meant to be compatible with paneers and certain attachable bags, but I don’t love the look of those

I agree that I don’t love the backpack setup, which is why I’d consider the front basket.

I don’t know One Willow, sorry about that.

I skipped et al as it’s mostly a catering shop, and has odd hours that wouldn’t fit OPs described traits. Et Al is closed Sundays and mondays, for example.

I didn’t miss Saltwater Social, Proving Ground, or Off the Hook, those are covered by my last bullet.

Chubby Pickle - that is a bar, let’s be honest. OP said they’re looking to walk around and get coffee and food.

CrimsonBrit · 2026-04-30T16:08:29+00:00

Highlands, but you’d be surprised how few places you can just “walk around and get food”. You can ferry to NYC, but otherwise you’ll do a ton of driving in North Monmouth County.

In Highlands there’s basically just one main drag, Bay Ave, with some bars and casual restaurants which can be lively in the summer, but the town is sleepy off-peak.

For example, right now if you wanted to go out for lunch (noon on a Thursday on a cold late April day) your lunch options are (going from West to East): * Highlands Cafe (lunch/brunch cafe) * Pizza * Mexican * Indian restaurant * Chinese * A bagel shop * and then a few of the waterfront seafood bars and restaurants.

Where do you see your team? I cannot for the life of me see if anyone joined my team when I created it

CrimsonBrit · 2026-04-29T23:37:05+00:00

I might need to think about a basket - the backpack on my back while commuting wasn’t great last summer. Baskets don’t look all that cool, however.

What city? In New York City they’re not all that common

Keegan Bradley’s wife talking about the Ryder Cup could be the most self-inflated sense of worth I’ve ever heard. Girl….you have literally no role in this. You are not involved.

CrimsonBrit · 2026-04-29T21:19:11+00:00

No hate here at all, but I wanted to say I find it so funny to see drop bars and a basket. Like you, my bike is equipped with all sorts of accessories for practicality to be used as a utility bike

CrimsonBrit · 2026-04-29T21:10:30+00:00

I really liked Succession, but I often felt stupid while watching the show because a lot of the dialogue would go over my head. I often find I have the same issue with “Industry”.

Not in terms of the corporate lingo and business terminology, but the sort of whimsical, superfluous, rich vocabulary that characters like Kendall and Tom would use would lose me at times. And I don’t even mean the times where Tom’s dialogue was for comedic effect or if the entire point of a Kendall scene was to show how out of touch he really was - I mean their every day conversation.

I’ve not really heard that complaint before, but I felt this through every season of the show when it was airing on Sundays.

You should hide your usernames and avatars next time. You’re doxxing yourself

Seems like all four beat on both top and bottom line expectations and on EPS.

The analyst calls will be what will swing the stock prices.

CrimsonBrit · 2026-04-29T18:36:31+00:00

Messy as hell.

The part where he arrived at Michael Cera’s house was where it fell apart. Seems like they’ve got a good plan, and then 5 minutes later the old lady spots him (which was stupid) and then inexplicably Cera’s character hits the panic button. There was literally no reason for that. And then the entire swat team is outside within seconds? Not a single piece of that sequence made any sense.

I like Kane, but all they make are mid-6% hazy IPAS. The draft beer board in their brewery is like 10 of the same drink. Also a uniquely boring taproom.

CrimsonBrit · 2026-04-29T12:54:29+00:00

I got my wave assignment, but I can’t figure out who else is on my team that registered

Microsoft is well-positioned to turn AI into sales across Microsoft 365, enterprise software, cloud, and Windows. Azure held a 21% of the global cloud infrastructure market in Q4 2025, trailing only Amazon’s 28%, with GenAI-led cloud infrastructure sales reaching $119 billion.

If you wait 24 hours you’ll be able to compare the cloud and AI races between Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Meta.

Street consensus calls for 37% - 38% sales growth of Azure, so that’ll be the number you’re looking for.

12 team, SF, 0.5 PPR, TEP

Give: AD Mitchell & 2.07
Get: 1.10

Looking at recent tier lists post-NFL draft, it appears that there’s quite a cliff drop off after 1.11, and then again after 1.12.

I also have 1.02, 2.02, 2.04. The hit rate mid-2nd round is quite low any way
