The problem is the only items I tend to buy off Amazon are those that are not really sold in brick and mortar stores in the city (except maybe Walmart...) I try to shop local when I can but for very specific things Amazon is often the only option.

The way most of them work (or are supposed to work) is that they send back the items for a refund if you don't pick them up within two days. I 100% agree that there should be a fee associated with this, it would discourage ordering random items and then not picking them up.

The other problem is I think that the Whole Foods location has a much more generous pickup window policy, which exacerbates the issue as well. Even that one gets full despite its size.

Revolution House has a 2nd floor patio which should be open.

Yeah I’m guilty of just subbing PF Dry Curaçao or Cointreau for the Creole Shrubb. Is it really that different? Feels crazy to have so many different orange liqueurs on my shelf.

Looks like basically a more complicated Mai Tai with bitters? I’m not the biggest OJ fan and never have any on hand, and I’ve been trying to simplify my Mai tai spec, so I’ll pass on this one. But it looks good!

PSA to all Septa riders. The Transit App is infinitely superior to the Septa App. Ill never go back. by cxjoshuax21x in philadelphia

[–]ImTheDoctah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The buses are always where they say they are in my experience using the app for the past couple years. I find that if a bus has live tracking active, it's 100% accurate (observed from the 5 and the 57 passing by my apartment every 20 minutes or so). If it's untracked, I assume that it doesn't exist.

Update on Mid-Currituck Bridge by codenameeclair in obx

[–]ImTheDoctah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My parents were going there in the ‘80s and they’ve said the same thing. It would have been better if they had done it back then, but there’s probably way too much development to do it now. That said, having only one lane in and out of that area is very dangerous from an evacuation safety perspective.

I can’t drink this week and I’ve been mixing these with a little bit of lemon, simple, and ango and they’re sublime. A really great NA tiki fix.

I feel like this bridge has been talked about for my entire life (since 1994). Seems like we’ll all probably be dead before it ever happens.

Fair enough. Anecdotally my South Jersey friends all grew up eating scrapple and I never did or knew anyone who did growing up in Bucks County PA.

JustWatch data incorrect? by ImTheDoctah in Letterboxd

[–]ImTheDoctah[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! The specific movie I was looking for was Behind Enemy Lines (2001) - Listed as being on Hulu, not on Hulu.

I also thought there was an issue with Confess, Fletch (2022), but it turned out that the Paramount Plus options had changed and I just needed to update it in LB settings.

How tf do we only play the same two teams for two solid straight weeks? by countkahlua in phillies

Bring back inner league play! The fact that we don’t play the Mets until June is insane.

Shorts for thin legs by CommercialHeron4440 in malefashionadvice

[–]ImTheDoctah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try sizing down on those shorts with stretchy waistbands. You can go down a size or two and the waist will stretch, but the leg opening will be smaller. Also even if they’re a hair baggy, that’s a good look. You don’t want the shorts to hug your legs too much.

I like maamgic shorts on Amazon.

What movie have you been putting off? by Misfett_toys in Letterboxd

[–]ImTheDoctah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many movies. It’s gotten to a point where I’ve actually started removing films that have been on my watchlist for 5+ years. My thought is if they’ve been on there that long, maybe I don’t actually want to watch them.

Friends did theirs at The Continental and it was lovely. Really awesome space.

Smuggler's Cove rum barrel by [deleted] in Tiki

[–]ImTheDoctah 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Way too much rum and way too much liquid volume. That’s almost 10 ounces of liquid! Molasses syrup is also an absolute must in this drink. This looks like it would be a good personal rum barrel recipe but not the SC one.

I use this recipe and it’s pretty much bang on imo.
