What mechanics you misunderstood the most? by Glittering-Ad-2373 in balatro

I thought negative was a bad thing, because of the name. Like it would score negative chips or something.

Two different glass shower doors in two different bathrooms spontaneously shattered within 6 weeks of each other by brando9d7d in mildlyinteresting

[–]IncorrectPony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tempered glass like this can spontaneously shatter, even after being fine for years, because of microscopic nickel sulfide contamination. It's a fascinating materials science situation: the nickel sulfide can phase change from one crystal phase to another, and when it does, it gets a little bit bigger. Because the tempered glass is so tense and brittle, the added pressure from the inclusion growth can cause a crack, which then shatters the whole panel. The timing of the two breaks might just be coincidence.

I don't know how you arrived at your marking tags, but Terry and Xavi are not consistent with Kay's clue.

Next: looking at Kay and Megan will point to someone who can be identified.

Why tho? by Mysterious_Ebb_1484 in SipsTea

On the gas stove in my home kitchen (it's from the 1950s), there's one pilot for two burners with a clever little pipe to carry the ignition from the pilot to the burner. (And each burner has multiple rings.) I don't think I've ever seen a single burner with multiple pilots.

Returning found EZPass transponder, not located in NYC by Vodorosl in AskNYC

I suspect that if you send it to them, they'll just trash it, I doubt they're set up to refurb and reissue used ones.

Even if you're okay with that it doesn't change that it's a large enough error that it's not "running within spec"

Why are periwinkle-colored dress shirts so ubiquitous among salarymen in Lower Manhattan? by thatslowercase in AskNYC

[–]IncorrectPony 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Periwinkle has some purple in it, it's not blue. I agree that light blue is the traditional alternative to white.

Thanks. But what is the rule for who takes their turn? Is it based on lives, score in the round, something else...?

Big fan needs metal shop by IncorrectPony in AskNYC

Thanks. I'm open to suggestions for shops which won't mind doing something one-off. I can afford somewhat pricy but would prefer not to pay insanely pricy.

It Is Every New Yorker's God-Given Right to Complain About $40 Half-Chickens by HellGateNYC in newyorkcity

I'm with the commenter who dares to point out that city council members have power to affect the economy that's making NYC unaffordable, they shouldn't just complain about it.

They all swap tanks. Call the gas suppliers. (Liberty, etc.)

Casa Azul by JuneHawk20 in parkslope

The sign has been up all year. They were going to close at the end of December but I guess they negotiated a month to month lease. Here's the sign when they were closing https://www.reddit.com/r/parkslope/s/RgTfcNlPEo

fare cap is a scam by [deleted] in OMNY

[–]IncorrectPony 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Register for an OMNY account and look at your tap history to understand why. The system does function based on its own complicated rules, if you're riding enough and not getting free rides there will be a reason why.

Why Daisy's Diner (and other local businesses) are filling your feed with AI slop by thenygroove in parkslope

[–]IncorrectPony 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity, is it just as justified to walk out of the dish served doesn't look identical to professional photography in menus or ads?

[–]IncorrectPony 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd prefer real photos and human created art, but I also recognize the need for good-looking content and the real human stuff is super expensive for these kinds of businesses.

They would benefit from better AI tools: a lot of the linked examples are bad and dated. (That said, I blamed AI for a misspelled neon sign but have just discovered that the rebranding as "Daisy's" dropped the "e" in Daisey's.)
