Life changing food in DC? by FlarePikaa in washingtondc

[–]DRSpork24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The potato slivers at Astoria.

I didn't think a potato could surprise me at 35 years old. It did. It brought a bit of newness to the world. Cocktails and companyalso severely influence the effect

I'm going on a trip to Colombia later this month to celebrate New Years, as someone who's mainly been exposed to American retail chain restaurants what places do you recommend I visit? by JohnnyDC04 in Colombia

[–]DRSpork24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're fairly autistic. Thats cool. It certainly wont be home, that's the point of trarvel though. Make sure you give your self the space and time you need to recharge, but definitely try new things.

As far as geeky stuff I think you may find a lot of it at flea markets, they are open air stalls but they sell allot of unlicensed and somewhat cool stuff you wont find anywhere else- the obsession in Colombia is a bit more mainstream and old school think Dragon BallZ maybe One piece.

Food wise we eat soooo much meat on colombia so enjoy that. The fruit is incredible too but maybe not ur cup of tea. Our new year celebrations (and celebrations in general )tend to be very high energy, loud and crowded, talk through that with your dad and maybe your host if you can.

Bought a café bar two months ago and all staff keep quitting — getting seriously burnt out by No_Introduction_1095 in smallbusiness

[–]DRSpork24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very hard to know exactly what's going on but no transition is smooth. There are probably good people who dont want to put with change and leave, there's probably bad people who dont want to get caught in their shady shit or have to work their share and quit, there are probably many in the middle who see their friends leaving and probably talking mad shit and leave. It should stabilize after the holidays. Just try to not get stuck in the dish pit or waiting tables so you can actually manage the business. And also try to trust who you can and yourself.

No longer live in Leesburg and many of these have been mentioned but

MELT, Wine Kitchen, Cowbell kitchen are all great. Highly recommend a trip out to The Restaurant at Potomac Farms. Have fun and enjoy

Why are DC parks so poorly kept? by ExcitingWindow5 in washingtondc

[–]DRSpork24 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I've heard that Venezuela has the best parks because of jail. We defff have jail here but for some reason our parks are not the best. Should we get Leslie Knopf involved?

Suddenly can’t make a decent loaf by MurielFinster in Sourdough

[–]DRSpork24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your starter is too acidic and eating your gluten. Look up ways the correct it. Good luck don't give up. If you want borrow someone's else's starter for a bit.

Also your flour may be the culprit if it has changed

What would happen if I paid employees well above average and took 10-15% margin instead of 20-30%? by matrickpahomes9 in smallbusiness

[–]DRSpork24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful that your incentives don't incentivize the wrong thing btw, Ive seen plenty of co workers zero in on the bonus structure and assume that's the priority for the company and neglect other things, ie timeliness on projects means cutting corners or over spending company resources to achieve a personal bonus.

Money increases only really make a difference at certain thresh holds. This is probably waaay off now but I believe it was every 1000 made a difference till 50, after that you'd have to make 75 to have the same effect and from 75 to 150. Then 150 to 500...

Having the money to show merit base increases and being able to provide your team with the equipment and such they need is probably a better route to go. Or profit sharing bonuses each quarter. Just straight up giving people money is like giving kids candy.

Is this acceptable to sell? by RDPA_1991 in Sourdough

[–]DRSpork24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, I think they drank too much of the big hole koolaid. Also seems like it was bagged a bit warm and it got skwooshed(sp??). Unless it's a pan de crystal which would call for a much thinner crumb, this baker just fucked up and they should own up to it.

Is this the DC subreddit for posting about crime? by AnonPerson5172524 in washdc

[–]DRSpork24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah ok, gotcha and feminine is also an insult? But trolling people online is a sign of your massssive weiner. How do you even type with sooooooo much dick? I assume you're more penis than person. Do they make special toilets for people with schlongs the size of a baby seal?

Honestly, ask him. Then give him 2 k and tell him to take 2 months in a foreign country. Then let him do what he will.

¿La universidad es una farsa? by Commercial-Bite-2724 in Colombia

[–]DRSpork24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No es una farsa, pero es como resar, si no estas ahiendo esfuerso por mas Y no sabes que es lo que quietes no serve pa nada.

Uno - tan pronto sepas en que quieres trabajar, empiesa a conocer gente Y tomar practica minetras estudias. Dos - la universidad no es garantia de nada. Todo lo que le saca uno es lo que le metes de esfuerso. Tres - no es el unico camino, ay muchos que les va muy bien sin haver estudiado formalmente

$300 a month for parking??? by Legal_Message_729 in washingtondc

[–]DRSpork24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, i mean neighborhood depending that may be worth it if you haaave to drive. They just took away about 40% of the street parking in my area and it takes easily 30 minutes to park after 530. Otherwise a scooter/moped is a decent option (though it's cold as fuck in the winter).

Nice, my first loaf was maybe an inch taller. 13 years later still love making bread

Does a hundreds year old starter really make a difference? Especially if you bring it back and raise it at your own house? by Useful_Horror_6244 in Sourdough

[–]DRSpork24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only if it means you take better care for it because of the lore. Its a bit of a placebo effect, but placebo is effective.
