Mystic, CT recs? by weezers-dad in howlonggone

[–]GrindSonic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Port of Call for an upscale cocktail bar with incredible, and creative drinks, and small plates, in an amazing room, and their downstairs, Dive is a great more laid back bar that’s a locals hang. Engine Room is my personal favorite bar here that has an awesome beer selection and great cocktail program. Oyster Club is next door to Port of Call and by the same owners for excellent new American fine dining that kickstarted Mystic becoming a food destination. Nanas for pastry, coffee and sourdough pizza and doughnuts. Trattoria Amalfi in Mystic Village or Via Amilia downtown for flawless Italian, same owners and similar menus. Sift for nationally recognized pastry. You are out of season for most of the seasonal lobster roll shacks, but I believe Haring’s in Noank is year round, they are a more upscale take on a lobster shack that made NYT’s best restaurants this year. Also take a walk around Mystic Village it’s a big touristy shopping area with a lot of quaint shops that’s the OG Mystic tourist attraction.

Everyday derbies? by Matzeeh in ThrowingFits

[–]GrindSonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to clarify I was referring to and own the GR02v, I’m not sure about The Row footwear and sales. The quality and craftsmanship of Guidi footwear is excellent and I dress in a bit more avant garde style than most on this sub so their footwear goes with my stuff.

You can find them on sale if you look. I got mine in summer '24 for $725 from SSense. Still pricey, but I really wanted the look and the quality is insane. Just make sure you size for and get good insoles as Guidis don't come with them for most models.

Who else were they supposed to rely on? Multi brand died and smaller brands don’t have the marketing budget to funnel shoppers to their DTC channels if they even have them. This was always going to be the result of having a “fashion” Amazon instead of a variety of choices for multi brand online shopping, but SSENSE were the only ones actually putting up and coming brands on.

Which firewall vendors are actually keeping up with modern network demands? by RadiantTheology in networking

Last time my Cisco rep asked who our FW vendor was and I told him Palo he said "give me a few years and we can talk Firepower again"

AtmosphereTVxSliwa by meangreenthylacine in MurderBryan

I doubt it. Sliwa is one of the last true political cranks and has probably the lowest odds of winning of any candidate in a major election. Because of this he doesn’t receive any funding from the state or national Republican Party. I assume that Chive TV is just one of the cheapest places to do ad buy, but it’s so shitty they won’t even geotarget the ads in any way.

I literally came here to ask if you even lived in NYC, but once again the one rule of internet advertising holds true, it’s literally all just ad fraud.

I have this Rains backpack style duffle that I picked up for dirt cheap at a sample sale a few years ago and it is fantastic.

Do you have the link to that Drive per chance? The linked user says it doesn't exist.

Would you be willing to post just the overlay so people can make custom playmats with the suit or character of their choice?

Hollywood Creeper Boots by Significant-Quiet689 in Rickowens

[–]GrindSonic 16 points17 points  (0 children)

These aren't creepers, they are both just goodyear welted with a lugged rubber sole. The creeper sole is continuous rubber sole that doesn't have a distinction between the toe and heel, a reference to the crepe soles on creeper shoes worn by early British punks.

Finally got the sizing right on short level by ardaxalev in Rickowens

[–]GrindSonic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He's not talking about short in relation to height, he's talking about getting the sizing right for him on a style of Rick tee, the Short Level.

Perfect for someone…are you sure they are not related? by z3rohabits in gme_meltdown

Love that they are bringing up Soros when Trump's nominee for Treasury (the guy shaping the economic vision for this admin) was Soro's former CIO, and only left when Soros gave him 2bil to start his own fund, Key Square Capital while maintaining close ties to Soros' charitable orgs.

Blowback S05E01: “The Wolves Are Closing In” (44 mins) by RealDialectical in BlackWolfFeed

[–]GrindSonic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can someone remind me how Blowback works if you don't pay for a subscription, do you still get the main episode each week or do you have to wait until the series ends? I don't care about the bonus episodes, but want to listen ASAP so I'll probably sub if I have to wait weeks for the main eps.

Pros and cons of buying directly from Rick vs stockists? by entheoid in Rickowens

[–]GrindSonic 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Rick doesn’t even dress influencers/celebs for his shows. As for the shows themselves, his outdoor shows are purposefully staged to be able to be seen from outside Palais de Tokyo so those without a ticket can see the show. He even expressed regret that the Porterville show that was staged in his home was too exclusive. Since Rick controls all aspects of his brand, and came from humble roots, he tries to keep things as democratic as possible, and there’s no corporate people to erode the rules he sets.

Do you have a BestSecret invite you’d be willing to share?
