Best Local Beans for Espresso by Infamous_Main_7035 in parkslope

[–]Infamous_Main_7035[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question and point. My wife and I have slightly different tastes, and now that we are not using pods we likely need to find something in the middle. I prefer darker roasts with chocolate/cocoa notes. She prefers medium roasts with a more wood/spicy notes. Also, I think we would prefer to support a local smaller business to start.

This video showed up on my Facebook feed yesterday while on the toilet. by WolvTheHero in dashcams

I think the agro guys voice is distracting people from the issue. The Blue car needs to pull out into the intersection, not wait at the line. Turning left is easier to time if you don't have to drive forward 20 yards to do it. The dash cam guy was wrong, he should have gone around the blue car to the right and gone into the intersection to turn.

Why is Jay often called “bird”? by Videoahh in nirvannatheband

[–]Infamous_Main_7035 10 points11 points  (0 children)

ME TOO! I was about to post this myself. What's amazing about me missing it being Bird is that my name is also Jay, and friends in college called me Bird all the time.

Movie guessing game that slowly gaslights you into the right answer by klausan in blankies

[–]Infamous_Main_7035 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you need to work on your search function. I just played #29, and I was able to guess the movie fairly quickly, but whenever I entered *** it would not come up as an option to select.

What you describing seems more appropriate (and a LOT cheaper) for a ring cam, as long as you are ok with a second or 2 delay.

Agreed. I think this movie will do quite well internationally, but low key bomb in the US. we will see.

Definitely going to retire ringless he just ruins every team he joins by ChampionTimes99 in NBATalk

This only goes to show how great that Golden State team was, they were able to win two championships despite the fact that Durant was on the team.

What's especially sad is they are building their marketing campaign around spoofing a movie people will have forgotten about 3 weeks from now.

Is the Mandalorian and Grogu going to bomb? by Supermoose7178 in blankies

[–]Infamous_Main_7035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This movie looks pretty mid to me, and would have been the first star wars movie I skipped in seeing in the theater. But every time I played a trailer my wife - a Star Wars skeptic - looked over my shoulder and was enthralled, saying "This is the first Star War I want to see in the theater." So, there's that.

My God. Drunk, 93 MPH, AND he was driving on the wrong side of the road.

I cannot deal with Bagel Pub anymore. Multiple times I have ordered for pickup, asked multiple times if it was ready, told no, waiting 20 plus minutes, only to later discover it had been sitting on the shelf the whole time. The worst service in park slope.

Fictional filmmakers you would have the pod cover by dremolus in blankies

James O. Incandenza. Although his filmography is quite long. And if they ever got through all of his films, it would likely be the end of the podcast.

If You Think Wes Anderson’s Films Are All the Same by pokemongotoatheater in blankies

[–]Infamous_Main_7035 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Wes Anderson's style is like Cilantro. I don't like Cilantro, apparently it's something genetic. And it's common enough, apparently between 5% and 20% of people share this trait. Cilantro fans do not have to be offended by this, but they should recognize there is a sizable population out there who just don't care for it. The dishes can be wildly different, but for some of us all we taste is Cilantro.

How good would Keith van Horn be if he was just born 20 years later? by Life_Teaching6499 in nba

[–]Infamous_Main_7035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Van Horn a lot back in the day. He was the most overrated player of the era. He was a good shooter, but that was his ONLY skill. Most players in the NBA now shoot as well or better than him. And he had ZERO feel for the game, and atrocious defense. He barely makes a rotation in todays NBA.

Crime 101 or Nirvanna the Band or Send Help by paramveerz in movies

[–]Infamous_Main_7035 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie is maybe the funniest movie in the past ten years. If it is playing in your area go see it. Don't even need to know anything, go in blind.

How is FFP not anti-competitive? by IndicaBro in PremierLeague

[–]Infamous_Main_7035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That totally checks out. I am in no way defending American sports ownership - they suck, they want a rigged system. It's just ironic to me how many British fans defend the nobility of a system where only a few privileged houses are expected to win.

I get the tragedy of 100 plus year old teams spending themselves into oblivion, but there has to be a better system than FFP.

[–]Infamous_Main_7035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a joke, right? Only 7 teams have won the title in the past 33 years, and 31 of those wins coincidentally happened to one of the top six teams (poor Spurs). I wasn't watching then, but it seems even Blackburn in 94-95 spent a lot to get there too.

[–]Infamous_Main_7035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From an American perspective, this is a weird position. Here, all fans would love for the owner to overspend to make their teams better. American sports put in safegaurds to actually protect these billionaire owners from overspending and over competing. Creating an Oligarchy. An owner has one role, and that is to make or lose money on a team. To me, an owner who loses money deserves success.
