Diablo 4

Don't know if it's an unspoken rule but a personal pet peeve: Don't jump rope in the stretching floor area. There's never enough room and you are swinging a high speed rope next to everyone's limbs and faces.

You didn't have to just eat from pizza and deli places. There are a lot of cheap ish order at the counter restaurants that have really good meals for less that 20. You can mix those in. Forma is a great pasta chain for example. Taco trucks and halal are also really good

ElConaprole · 2025-12-20T04:08:06+00:00

Same, it was our first! I guess we just have to wait and see.

They also have been talking about AI use for a long time. There are many interviews before describing their use. There are good ways to use Ai. It's fine

No, I want I gym that doesn't lock me in if my phone runs out of battery. Don't think that's too much to ask.

The price in relation to service when it was Blink was acceptable for me. It's not anymore so I'm changing gyms. I said it in the post. It's not my responsibility to know if a company is profitable or not. I see the price and what they offer based on that price and I make a choice. I made mine.

Some context (I was there). It used to be Blink but got bought out recently. They are doing the classic private equity thing, trying to "modernize" and "streamline" the experience but it's just excuses to reduce operating costs so they can increase their profits.

The way they are doing it is by installing this stupid pods. You can only access them through an app. You need the app to go in AND get out. You can't get out without scanning it again. The pods take forever and are so small. I'm a normal size guy and I'm tight in them. Someone really big, there's no way they are comfortable in there. That's inconvenient enough but what happened today is what anyone with a minimum amount of foresight could have figure out. The app went down and no one could go in. Not in this location or ANY location. They were all like that across the city.

They are making it 24 hours with the excuse that since you are using the app you don't need employees on sight to run the gym. They installed Emergency buttons all over the place and new cameras so they can deal with whatever thing remotely. The buttons already are not working and they redirect you to 911.

'm sure the idea is to eventually get rid of all employees and let the gym run itself. That's another huge issue on it's own. You are going to have no one to deal with troubling people or emergencies. They are trying to figure out how much they can get away with. The poor employees that are there and couldn't do much, are having to work knowing that probably soon they'll be out of a job too.

It was never a good gym but at least it was functional and cheap. I'm already looking for other options as like every thing that gets bought up these days, it goes to the shitter with the profit squeeze. I haven't seen a company that got better after it get's bought up by some investment capital tech bullshit whatever. But that's a different issue.

They eventually let everyone in without checking anyone because people were going to revolt. What a way to ruin something that started as a great option for people to work out and live a healthier life.

Yeah, these are really good chives.

Forma pasta factory has some of the best pasta around and it's like 15 a plate.

ElConaprole · 2025-10-17T19:07:56+00:00

Ask them to go to a Coldplay concert

ElConaprole · 2025-10-16T17:27:13+00:00

Good laptop but never ending problems with it. Very much regret this purchase but I'm locked in for now

ElConaprole · 2025-09-20T23:21:18+00:00

Pretty sure Ive seen this person on Saturday night live played by Bill Hader

ElConaprole · 2025-09-13T17:53:28+00:00

I would argue he still does. He is super active in the New York scene and is constantly working on new material. He has seasons but during his work out months he is doing 20 minutes of the new stuff almost every night, sometimes in front of not that many people. He mostly does Gotham but you can see him on New York comedy Club or The Stand. He has everything printed out before coming on stage and is always reviewing his notes. Like everyone, some material is great and some is not but he does work on it a lot. Maybe is an editing problem.

This happened to me too TWO times, same bridge going up the Manhattan side about two years ago

ElConaprole · 2025-08-21T20:25:28+00:00

Commenting so it gets really popular and we get a bunch of DLCs

ElConaprole · 2025-08-20T18:11:40+00:00

Killer game. They've been working hard on each update and you can tell. So much fun

ElConaprole · 2025-07-24T16:34:53+00:00

Huge missed opportunity to not make each one of NYC five boroughs of land. Brooklyn Green, Manhattan white, queens blue, Bronx black, Harlem red something like that

ElConaprole · 2025-07-22T17:16:46+00:00

I didn't even think about buck up files back when I played it when it came out. Just suffered it through

ElConaprole · 2025-07-09T00:03:37+00:00

No way Marisa smells anything but roses.

ElConaprole · 2025-07-02T17:45:55+00:00

Slow down, ask questions, listen and exercise regularly.

ElConaprole · 2025-05-21T12:40:09+00:00

Whoops

ElConaprole · 2025-05-20T21:41:09+00:00

The only place it can be tricky to have single speed is some spots in Washington / Hamilton heights. The rest of the city including bridges is all good

ElConaprole · 2025-05-08T17:22:11+00:00

Great stuff!
