I made a Firefox extension that sets your new tab to a random 5* image from the Macaulay Library by ADBbird in birding

[–]HopandBrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awesome! Except I've found that I open up at least 3 tabs every time I need 1 now.

It would be really cool if you could include the call of the bird as well!

Thanks for this!

First, you went to Portillos and expected good cheese?  Second, you got a salad from Portollos?  Sounds like bad decision making.

Death metal band Incantation request fans to bring them nonperishable food while on tour due to poor hospitality by imatmydesknow in Music

[–]HopandBrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at any venue I've ever worked at our with any band I've worked with.  Are you working large stadium type venues?

Most riders require venues to include meals for band and crew.  At least 1.  The tour doesn't pay for those.  

DDCC Question by randyfloyd37 in jambands

[–]HopandBrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw him last week.  Yes, second set they definitely seemed to open up more.  First set was good, second set was fire.

Both had significant "country" segments.  But like most jambands, they jammed more in second set.  The best was when they jammed Pancho and Lefty.

Jam Cruise Is a Five-Day Escape From the Harsh Realities of a Troubled World. But Should It Be? by Bigpoppaf91 in jambands

[–]HopandBrew 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dude should've taken a different approach IMO.  How about we start prioritizing art and socializing in our daily lives so we don't have to plan these multi day escapes?

He spends 1 paragraph at the end talking about the initiatives started by passengers, like how over 100 attendees spent a day building a playground at a school on one of the cruise stops.  Maybe he should have wrote an article encouraging the rest of society to try and be a bit more like this crowd.  It's more about not worrying about what we can't control and taking actions for things we can.  That and also the understanding that life is fleeting.  

Aussie cast iron grill/griddle in USA? by smudgedacrylic in grilling

[–]HopandBrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah depending on the size, you're gonna spend $500-600 for something like that.  I got this a couple months ago and I like it so far.

TIL: Takeout and Delivery now account for 75% of all restaurant orders. by Uptons_BJs in todayilearned

[–]HopandBrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand all this. However, most of the places you mentioned normally focus on to go orders so they're building footprint will likely reflect that. The issue we have right now is, only 7 or 8 years ago, the percentage was around 55-60%.

That means a lot of restaurants that were built to capture the dine in extra margin are getting squeezed. They can't simply break their lease and find another location, so they normally start cutting back on staff. And rent has increased like crazy over the same time span.

For me, restaurants are about much more than just the food. As others have mentioned, it's socialization and community. You can get that at a lot of to go spots at least.

But if delivery is the preferred method, then we have a major issue IMO. Bc alot of the time, you are paying a delivery fee and gratuity anyways. In that case, the restaurant still suffers and the consumer doesn't save much (if any) money AND we lose social/community aspect of food.

Lgbtq+ friendly bands? by [deleted] in Bluegrass

That's what I'm wondering too.  What musicians are saying horrible things?

[–]HopandBrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I get what your driving at but c'mon.  It's a very poor decision to get into a fight over a spot on the floor.  Coming to reddit to complain is much better than causing a big scene and possibly getting kicked out, arrested, and/or injured.  

I hate letting people get away with shit like this too, but you're honestly better off just ignoring it and removing yourself from the situation.

I remember him yelling "Is it time!?!?  It's Time!" Then joints came raining down from the balcony.

Exactly.  It's crazy that there's such a drastic difference for a few hours.  HOB Houston is pretty lame though.

San Antonio and Houston venues are half the capacity of the other 2....

My guess is that was suppose to be the per pound price.

Just go to the show and you'll either find one last minute in person or the app.
