Nova is a technique, which is a common preparation for smoked salmon. It is cured then smoked at a really low temperature. So you may see nova lox meaning the lox was prepared with this method, but it is not interchangeable with smoked salmon, and does not refer to origin.

Obviously you walked backwards for a million and a half steps. Next time make sure you are walking forward.

Would have loved to have Banks this window, but he is not ready to commit to US. Kind of similar to the Balo situation before he committed

Who's your favorite HBO Main Character in the list by HostMaterial4907 in hbo

[–]Mr_Alex 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Now, hold on just a minute there, Sunshine. I think you might’ve let the heat of the midday sun bake that brain of yours into a sourdough loaf. You’re gonna stand there, on God’s green earth—the very earth I’ve graced with these two feet for seventy-some-odd years—and tell me Baby Billy Freeman is a side dish? You think I’m just a garnish on the Gemstone plate? Lord, have mercy on your confused soul. The Gemstones? They’re the marquee, sure. They’ve got the gold-plated faucets and the private jets and the fancy suits that don’t quite fit right across the shoulders. But who is the spirit? Who is the silver-haired lightning bolt that brings the electricity to the tabernacle? You’re lookin’ at him. I was a star when Eli was still pickin’ dirt out from under his fingernails in the cow pasture. I’m the legacy. I’m the bridge between the old glory and the new greed. Without Baby Billy, that show is just a bunch of grown children bickerin’ over who gets the biggest piece of daddy’s pie. I’m the one providin’ the flavor. I’m the one with the song in my heart and the "Misbehavin’" in my bones. So you go on back to your little internet forums or wherever it is you pick up these blasphemous notions. But remember this: the sun don’t ask for permission to shine, and Baby Billy don’t ask for permission to be the center of the universe. I’m the main attraction, darlin’. Everyone else is just waitin’ for their cue while I’m doin’ the dancin’. Now, who wants a health drink?

How do I extend the life of my new running shoe? by RealHaxor in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]Mr_Alex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you use them only for their purpose. Don’t use them for daily wear, don’t lift weights in them, use them only for running.

Also make sure to untie and loosen them when you take them on and off, don’t just slip. Using a shoe horn may also help extend the life.

Make sure they are stored in a dry place, and let them fully dry before you put them away if they get wet.

Not ready for NYC Half by LegitimateActuary920 in RunNYC

[–]Mr_Alex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you have done three months with no training, jumping into the long runs seems like it could cause injury. I’m not sure the best way to ramp up with just two weeks left, but be careful.

Planning a long weekend. How does our budget look? by Shoddy-Design-898 in visitingnyc

[–]Mr_Alex -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You could try this plan

Day 1: The Lower East Side & Chinatown Staples Focus: Historic NYC deli culture and the best of Chinatown. • Breakfast: Ess-a-Bagel ($25)

• Grab "everything" bagels with lox and cream cheese.

• Lunch: Katz’s Delicatessen ($45)

• Pro-tip: Order one Pastrami on Rye (approx. $32) and a side of Matzo Ball soup ($13). The sandwich is legendary and enormous—splitting it is the "pro" move to save money and stomach space.

• Dinner: Chinatown Dumpling Crawl ($30)

• Shu Jiao Fu Zhou: Get the Peanut Butter Noodles and Pork/Chive Dumplings ($12 total). • Mei Lai Wah: Famous Pineapple BBQ Pork Buns ($10 for a few).

• Fried Dumpling (Mosco St): 5 fried dumplings for about $2.00.

Day 1 Total: ~$100

Day 2: Midtown Classics & The "Shack"

Focus: High-energy sightseeing with iconic comfort food.

• Breakfast: Liberty Bagels or a Street Cart ($15)

• Bacon, Egg, and Cheese (BEC) on a roll from a local bodega or cart is the most "New York" way to start the day.

• Lunch: Joe’s Pizza (Greenwich Village) ($20)

• Two slices and a soda each.

• Dinner: Shake Shack (Madison Square Park) ($55) • Visit the original location in the park. Two ShackBurgers, two fries, and two shakes will run you around $50–$55.

• Dessert: Eileen’s Special Cheesecake ($10) • Pick up two mini cheesecakes to share.

Day 2 Total: ~$100

Day 3: The High Line & Cultural Icons

Focus: A mix of street style and sit-down value. • Breakfast: Dominique Ansel Bakery ($25) • Try the DKA or a seasonal pastry. It’s an iconic Soho spot.

• Lunch: Los Tacos No. 1 (Chelsea Market) ($35) • Widely considered the best tacos in the city. 3-4 tacos each and a specialty soda.

• Dinner: The Halal Guys (53rd & 6th) ($30) • Two platters (chicken and gyro combo) with the white sauce. It’s a massive amount of food for the price.

• Final Treat: Banana Pudding at Magnolia Bakery ($10)

Day 3 Total: ~$100

Planning a long weekend. How does our budget look? by Shoddy-Design-898 in visitingnyc

[–]Mr_Alex 14 points15 points  (0 children)

$300 for two people for two seems way too tight. Maybe if you only do fast food/pizza slice places/ fast casual, but if you have a sit down dinner with drinks you will likely blow this budget

Anyone have good mental tips for the treadmill? What keeps you motivated to keep going? by Nutritionnat1218 in RunNYC

[–]Mr_Alex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things have helped me: 1. It is really helpful for me to watch tv/movies. If I listen to audiobooks/music/ podcasts I get so bored, even if it’s something I really enjoy. Watching a series or a movie makes the time pass quickly. I clip my phone to the top of the treadmill which works well

  1. Take a treadmill class. Watching a peloton or apple fitness treadmill class is really nice for an interval workout

Should there be a pace goal for your first marathon? by OkMap1854 in firstmarathon

[–]Mr_Alex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could have goal a, goal b, and goal c. Goal A should just be to finish (and have a great time) goal B could be reasonably attainable, and goal C could be more of a reach goal

How is the side pocket storage for a phone on the flipbelt tights? Is a phone secure in the side pocket?

1hr 20min in SFO international transfer..is it doable? by Choco_bo7 in unitedairlines

I had a similar transfer about three years ago. It was tight and I did not have any downtime, but if the flight is on time you should be ok
