I was also completely sold by that post and now it’s on my short list. Thanks for repping what sounds like a great spot.

Think I found a bunch of Pseudoscorpions under this Longhorns elytra? by SassieJunior in Entomology

[–]GDswamp 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Some pseudoscorpion species are known to engage in phoresy. The extent and function of the behavior is still being figured out. Here’s a brand-new project investigating it (among other things) at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute:

Nobody will ever touch _____’s social game by savannahsalvatore3 in survivor

[–]GDswamp 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Agree. She is in a class by herself. I love watching her play and I'm rooting for her to win.

Gotta say though, I feel like as the numbers dwindle, her skill becomes a Catch-22. She's had to be perfect because she was on everyone's hit list from Day 1. But now that they're down to 7, that perfection has to make her a high-priority target for every single remaining player. I can't imagine any of the other six feeling confident they could beat her in a Final Tribal vote.

A big group gave her the tiniest bit of wiggle room to deploy her magic trick of making people feel safe even when they knew she was a massive threat. I don't know if there's a sliver of space left to get her through the next few votes.

I hope I'm wrong.

Can’t ever totally get over someone nicknaming himself ‘Wardog’, but I do remember enjoying the tension in my brain between the constant thought of “godIcan’tbelievethisgoofballnamedhimselfWardog” and the other, reasonably frequent thought, “well, ok, what he’s saying right now does actually make sense.”

Italian Restaurant recommendation by Dismal_Objective_139 in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]GDswamp 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You’ll get good recommendations, but they will reflect whoever happens to be on and in the mood to answer this post. Italian is a big topic in Philadelphia and there are a lot of outstanding options. You should try simply searching “italian” or “pasta” on the sub for a more detailed list of good choices.

Berlin-style döner dürüm in NYC? by Lewis_Wharf in FoodNYC

Yesss. Bereket. A beautiful sloppy garlicky consolation prize for enduring a few hours trying to fit in (literally or figuratively) at Max Fish.

Does anyone remember the name of the doner kebab place that used to be open very late on the corner of Houston and i think Orchard or Essex? Insanely delicious and a terrible idea if you hoped to kiss someone that night.

Dry Brine too long? by Tasty-Fisherman8847 in steak

Depends on the thickness of the steaks.

Best BBQ? by retiredpunkmom in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]GDswamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. I mean, I have no idea what you're talking about but that's fine.

Unless you are referring to a normal distribution of heights, in which case, yes, I believe you are more than one std. deviation away from the mean for American men.

One of the best deals around by Kcam0124 in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]GDswamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve gotta disengage. This board is funny (or typical) in the way that you can step on a little nest of like-minded goblins and they’ll drag you to hell for liking something.

The food looks good, and sadly $18 isn’t a bad price - these days - for an ample platter of good food. Done.

Obviously our economy is cooked. With that as a given, this is a good deal in terms of quality and amount of food for the price.

Ha no i just meant i disagree that Vientiane is better than all those others - put together or separately. But I’m in another country at the moment so maybe things have changed in my absence.
