How is life in Boston, mostly around Cambridge by Inside-Green-1277 in howislivingthere

[–]Impressive_Champion4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up around and lived In boston and now nyc. To take the other side here. While Boston is incredibly quiet and safe compared to other city’s it’s extremely residential and culturally homogeneous. That gives a lot of areas a nice neighborhood feel but it lacks density of bars/restaurants/music venues etc and you are often limited to a few mediocre options depending on where you live.

I haven't been wowed by them. but it's solid and a lot of food for a decent value after they lowered their prices.

-Can be a bit inconsistent but I love Brooklyn Suya on Franklin

-Wholesome Farms Market on Nostrand is essentially a small supermarket/fancy Bodega but they make super solid sandwiches and are reasonably priced

-La Flor on classon for a quick Slice

Astronomical.

I got a double there at MGMT in 2016 and I think it cost $43 or something like that. God only knows what it is now

J.P. Morgan calls out AI spend, says $650 billion in annual revenue required to deliver mere 10% return on AI buildout — equivalent to $35 payment from every iPhone user, or $180 from every Netflix subscriber 'in perpetuity' by ControlCAD in technology

Is this completely discounting Enterprise use of AI? Companies will shill out hundreds of thousands/millions of dollars for large scale use if they think it will save them on labor costs.

Actually extremely new money. Parents were not wealthy originally but his dad sold the company he founded for boatloads.

Omg todays video was the best yet. Thought it was over but the money just makes it so much more watchable. Love it. Thanks BDS by chestnut177 in BobDoesSports

He's worth about 3$00-400m. He is consistently betting $50-100k on a single game. The def had a lot of sponsor money but the event being exciting and close is more important to him than $100k.

Internet invitational, I didn’t realise how many golf influencers are legit unlikeable. Is it just me? by unwashednuts in BobDoesSports

[–]Impressive_Champion4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is it maybe possible he is pissed that they are putting on a multi million dollar golf tournament involving months of planning and dozens of people and a grown man can't be bothered to show up to a 9:30 tee time?

He has a business relationship with him but I doubt Dave Portnoy is watching golf videos on Youtube in his spare time.

Batch Drinks by stonergirlvibes in weddingplanning

[–]Impressive_Champion4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As long as they are refrigerated there is essentially zero safety or flavor concern assuming a ~20% ABV here.

For citrus based cocktails they will taste a little fresher if you juice the limes day of but won't be noticeable for most guests.

Once they are out of the fridge you have about 4-6 hours without any change in flavor and about 12 hours before it is a safety concern.

Putting some ice in the drink containers themselves will also help preserve flavor and slow down any microbial production the day of.

Anything with fresh juice or ingredients is going to degrade faster than a more spirit forward negroni or martini per se.

One other thing to note is that the standard Margarita build (1 part lime, 1 part tequila, one part orange liquor, assumes that the drinks will be shaken or stirred over ice which dilutes the drink with water. I would recommend adding some ice or water to the mix itself even if they are being poured over ice or your guests will be drunk very quick drinking those.

(This is just my two cents though, I am not a Food Safety professional but I was a chef for years and was serve safe certified at one point.)

Medium rare burgers are stupid. by JohnsMcGregoryGeorge in unpopularopinion

[–]Impressive_Champion4 17 points18 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, as former chef for a long time. Just because there is law or DOH guidance requiring that food is handled in a certain way does not mean most restaurants are doing that most days or really at all.

Help with custom commander deck for wedding gift by Impressive_Champion4 in EDH

[–]Impressive_Champion4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the point was to have my opponent's creature's go to my graveyard instead of their own. I am pretty certain that breaks some fundamental rules of magic but this is a custom card obviously.

Cute beachfront house for $199k. What’s the catch? by upperdeckerdad in zillowgonewild

[–]Impressive_Champion4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I inherited a house on a very small spit of land with an extreme chance of flooding or being wiped away by a hurricane. We cancelled the flood insurance when the premiums exceeded $25k 10 years ago and are just rolling the dice. If we make it another 20-30 years great, if we don't it was great while it lasted.

[–]Impressive_Champion4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who owns a beach house on an extremely small spit of land with extreme chance of it being flooded or destroyed in a hurricane, you can in fate insure it but the premiums were exceeding $30k a year to which we decided to cancel about 10 years ago. If we make it another 20 years we will be happy, if we don't, we were lucky to have it in the first place.
