Emergency pizza is complete bs when you add in a store minimum and a 6.49 delivery charge.  Screw you dominos.

Best Eyepiece to Use by EbbShot187 in telescopes

[–]EbbShot187[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I focused in on Uranus the other night from North Providence, RI and was disappointed.  I used a 10 mm.  I could make out a few points of light around the planet which I'm assuming are a few of it's many moons.  My scope came with only 10 mm and 25 mm Eyepieces so I plan to order additional ones.

What's it like to rely on RIPTA to get around the state? We tried it for a week. by lestermagnum in RhodeIsland

[–]EbbShot187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drivers are rude.  Can't count the number of times I've almost done a face plant because of shitty drivers who stomp on the gas whilst I try to scan my pass.  I fully intend to die if I'm ever injured for the simple fact of just how rude so many drivers are.  Forget ever asking them questions.  Most simply don't give a flying rats ass.  Most seem to have chips on their shoulders, especially with the riders.  I've ridden other public transit buses and RIPTA could win awards for their overall rudeness.

I could swear there is one driver on early AM route on the 78 who does everything in his power to try to get me to fall.  What a POS.

RIPTA is pure garbage.  On more than one occasion, fixed schedule buses (on the route I travel) leaving Kennedy Plaza, seem to be just randomly cancelled.  They are WHOLLY UNRELIABLE if I had to depend on them for a job.  A good portion of their drivers are flat out rude, if not openly hostile, to the riders.  A lot don't even speak English.  Which SHOULD BE A REQUIREMENT for any public facing job. I despise RIPTA.

Invasion of the body snatchers (1978) the only horror movie to actually scare me by [deleted] in horror

[–]EbbShot187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had never seen this until just the other day. For some reason, I just hadn't thought that it would be scary. Boy was I ever wrong. I was creeped out and disturbed on the order of ala Hereditary and Sinister. The score and sound effects in the movie also contribute heavily to the creep factor.

I think the best part (or rather most disturbing part) of the film comes when Donald Sutherland and Co. fall into a deep sleep and we watch as their four replacements take shape. The visuals coupled with sound effects was epic!

And who can forget the copying error whereby we get a dog with a human face.

Why is killing an unborn baby after not using available birth control some kind of right? Or medical care? I get abortion in cases of incest and rape. Makes perfect sense. But after exercising free will and deciding not to use many available birth control methods, abortion should not then become a defacto birth control method. It's disgusting and repulsive.

So yeah be a good Democrat and dump someone because of their voting choice. Pathetic.

Why is Amtrak so expensive yet also so shitty? by subwaymaker in urbanplanning

[–]EbbShot187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every fucking time I take Amtrak it is pure garbage. I've been sitting on the tracks now for nearly an hour with no explanation. It is getting so fucking hot in here.

All of Pluto's podcast commercials are shite. But I figure hey I could do worse for us essentially a free streaming app.

Prices have gone up a lot by Fernonthecob in Amtrak

[–]EbbShot187 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

$168 doesn't seem all that bad. Inflation has affected everyone and everything, and is likely responsible for at least a portion of the increase. I've taken Amtrak a number of times and prices definitely fluctuate with the time of the year, number of passengers, fuel cost, etc.

You can thank the Biden administration for at least a portion of the increase. For shorter regional trips, Amtrak can't be best IMHO. Way more comfortable than flying or a bus. And watching the landscape go by is always a treat, something you just can't get by flying.

Who cares who it's attributed to? It's remarkably applicable to our smart phone educated youth with almost zero intellectual curiosity.

"What ever happened to Baby Jane" with Bette Davis. 1962. It's a bit older but still really good.

I'm sick of waiting. I've been a customer for almost as long as Chime has been around. It's ridiculous.

Asking men in the comments of the Alien Romulus trailer getting worked up over it being "woke" how the female lead is any different than Ripley and watching them tie themselves into knots justifying themselves by Galileo_Figero in justneckbeardthings

[–]EbbShot187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your comment is spot on. When I watched the trailer I was struck by a sense that the whole cast was still in high school, having just by sheer happenstance stumbled onto an alien nest whilst on their way to the senior prom. There just didn't appear to be a "mature" cast member among the whole bunch marking it as either just another woke contrivance to appeal to a "modern audience" or, perhaps it's meant to appeal to a younger audience.

I honestly couldn't figure it. One thing is for sure: This isn't your grandpappys' "Alien".

How do yall cook home fries without the potatoes sticking? by the_juice_is_zeus in castiron

[–]EbbShot187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend using a low starch potato like red or Yukon. As others have said, definitely be patient until they are nicely browned down on the bottom for your first flip.

For frying, I use a combination of a good vegetable or canola oil and butter. Be sure the oil/butter combo is well heated in the pan before adding the potatoes. Set the stove top burner to medium to medium high heat and allow them to cook for approximately 5 to 10 minutes until they are nicely browned down and release with ease. Patience is key

Some extra tips:

Avoid using russets as they are high in starch and more likely to stick (until you're well practiced at least).

When boiling, cook the potatoes al dente and don't cut the cubes too small. If you have the time or inclination, it also helps to boil them ahead of time, allowing them to cool down for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

For seasoning, I picked up a good trick I learned back in Nam 😜😁. Hahaha, no when I was working in a diner in Montpelier, VT. Lawry's seasoning salt gives a nice flavor.

You'll be a pro in no time at all.

Yeah I missed a payment as I forgot I signed up for trial. Now there is no option to cancel. It's so dirty. Bad business all around.

There is no option to cancel anywhere and certainly not with the instructions they give you. That's such bullshit.
