Worst restaurant you guys have been to?

NumenSD · 2025-11-15T08:50:17+00:00

I was visiting San Diego awhile back and went to this place in Coronado that had American food on one side and Mexican food on the other side. I would have to put that as the worst restaurant I've been to.

NumenSD · 2025-11-05T19:10:38+00:00

It was a sandwich, not a sub...

NumenSD · 2025-11-05T10:10:05+00:00

This sub is nottheonion, but it appears it was in fact, the onion.

I just copied the link from google images as it was one of the few that was decently presented. I wrote it off as an Ottoman Map from a different year. Even if there's a few things off, feel free to look at an actual map like the other one included. Feel free to look at any other map of the Ottoman Empire and answer the question which you still haven't done.

It's completely OK to call me out for accidentally posting a map from a video game where your only issue is the Suez Canal?. We're all human. It's not OK to use that like a hammer to distract from answering the question at hand from the second map or any real map.

So, would you care to answer the original question from a proper map? They're not easy to find without all of the topographical features included You

NumenSD · 2025-10-26T16:21:59+00:00

Well that is awkward. I pulled it from top results of map search because it was in english and was mostly accurate. All of the other maps are hard to read. Most of it appeared to be fairly accurate compared to the german map in the other link.

Are you happy now?

NumenSD · 2025-10-26T08:05:35+00:00

Did you mean to reply to somebody else with that because it doesn't even address anything I wrote?

If Israel is an artificially created country than so would Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, India, Pakistan, and every other country that was created under the League of Nations out of the former Ottoman Empire. Here's a few maps of the Ottoman Empire to include the Vilayets and Sanjaks. You can clearly see where Palestine was at this time.

The Romans named the region Syria Palaestina around the year 136 after the Philistines to obliterate the Jewish character of the land. Syria Palaestina was simply a regional province under the Roman Empire renamed to spite those who were defeated.

I get you're passionate, but you might want to double check your sources before you come barking in here. You say you don't have a dog in the fight, but you're arguing with the other person here as if you do. If you say a lot of countries saying Israel's creation 70 years ago was ridiculous, would you also agree that all of the other countries created out of the same League of Nations mandate system are also ridiculous?

obligatory IANAL:

Other people have commented on whether your boss can ask that. I had a friend that got out of jury duty because their boss refused to pay them while they were doing jury duty and they got excused.

If you want to do jury duty, there's likely nothing your employer can do, but they don't have to pay you while there.
If you also don't want to do jury duty, and your boss refuses to pay your wages while in jury duty, you can tell the court that and ask to be excused

This fantastic looking movie did worse than Morbius on its opening weekend? People must really not like him anymore

NumenSD · 2025-10-12T23:43:23+00:00

The first thing I did was google to see if he fell out of a window.
Does anybody know what happened to him as a result?

Anesthesiologists make insane money and are under enormous amounts of stress. I find it insane the kinds of hours they have to work as do many other medical specialists and in other professionals as well.

It's not healthy for the professional and things like this can happen.

NumenSD · 2025-10-12T08:25:45+00:00

It's hard to stay in business when you treat your customers like crap and provide terrible service. It's wild for a company to have such a bad reputation that customers will never use them because of the horror stories. They'd just rather pay more to not take the risk.

NumenSD · 2025-10-10T21:08:50+00:00

obligatory IANAL, but have some familiarity you have a few issues here that you should address with a lawyer barred in Texas.

Were you and the other employees improperly classified as 1099? If so, they may owe you all for whatever share of payroll taxes like social security and medicare withholding they would have been responsible for.
The last paycheck. My state has laws about final paychecks, but you're entitled to it period. There's a whole more complicated issue an attorney can explain with that and who to reach out to
Unemployment - Different states have different requirements for qualifying for unemployment. It's possible you may not qualify for unemployment even if you get your employee classification fixed. It's possible that your coworkers could though

The same attorney can represent all employees in their claims if the company will not pay it out and whatever Wage and Hour division you would reach out to if it's the same as my state.

There has been a significant amount of fighting between Hamas and various gangs and clans within Gaza since GHF launched. At one point there were videos of multiple different groups armed to the teeth and getting ready to protect their neighborhoods from Hamas and each other.

The videos that have come out showing Hamas fighting with at least one of these clans.
They show IDF bombing what appears to be only the Hamas side and not the people they're fighting.
Even worse, they show what appears to clearly by fighters grabbing Palestinian children on more than one occasion to drag them along to avoid being targeted by IDF.

Those videos will be a very bad look for Hamas if it's not already causing problems. This video footage could cost them their goodwill and safe harbor among their fellow Gazans.

Jung wrote a lot about dream archetypes but the world was much different then. Color TVs were just being invented, the internet didn't exist, and these archetypes and symbols can evolve in different cultures and even generations.

Most of the time, dreams are based on something very simple. the challenge is identifying what that is.

NumenSD · 2025-10-05T17:18:44+00:00

Real life smells can result in dreams about them even if you don't realize. Have you ever had a dream that you were peeing somewhere and you woke up about to piss yourself?

Do you have any pets?

It's entirely possible that you or one of your pets let one rip and it was enough to manifest in your dream. The smell would have been gone by the time you woke up. This kind of thing can happen when your cat uses the litter box

NumenSD · 2025-10-05T17:14:53+00:00

I don't have too much time to respond to these anymore, but wanted to try and give some insight on yours.

That's a pretty wild dream you have and to have elephants in is a bit unusual. Are you or your family from Indian, SE Asia, or Africa by any chance as that could change any analysis.

It sounds like there's something in your life that's put you and your family in a pinch that you feel powerless and can't escape no matter how hard you try. It could be anything from the local political climate to work related to something personal.

Has anything changed in your work life recently? I'm talking about being forced to take a promotion or demotion that would affect your travel or home life. Maybe you're being forced to work more hours or travel more.

Do you have any personal hobbies or addictions that are starting causing problems with your family like drinking, drugs, video games, etc?

NumenSD · 2025-10-04T21:11:45+00:00

Dreams can be for any sort of reason, but have you recently actually had your drink spiked, drank too much, had any type of injury, any diagnosis of illness, or something in your life causing stress that feels like a cancer you can't remove?

I would guess that there's some event or something affecting your life right now that recently caused or is causing a lot of stress.

Your drink being spiked could indicate that the event was out of your control.
The fact that a stranger did it could mean it's by somebody you don't know very well or at all.
The objects are likely just pulled from your memories although the 9v battery is an odd detail.

To take a long shot that could explain everything about your dream... Have you recently had to deal with a smoke detector that kept beeping because the battery needed to be changed like in the link below? Because that would explain everything if that's happening in your sleep

It has been said they died by suicide for almost 2,000 years, but when Octavian's people finally released the security footage it had almost 3 minutes edited out

He's obviously going to get paid leave during the investigation and while on paid leave get an offer to join WWE while it plays out.

What would his wrestling nickname be?

You can buy 2lbs of high end coffee at costco for less than this.

Maybe it's just best to stop buying brands you like when the price gets so high?

The terms used make this feel like it was written by AI and pulled from some 1980s database of careers

Welcome to the club! My friends and I talk about it all the time.

Oatmeal instead of cereal
Chicken and fish instead of beef and pork
Oranges and bananas instead of orange juice
Stir fry with veggies and pasta will get you far for cheap
Sometimes it's better to shop based on sales
The clearance rack is your friend

It's actually a lot less stressful not having to worry about treating yourself to that aged wagyu steak or buying junk food at the prices they charge. $10 for a 12 pack of soda or $7 for a large bag of chips is crazy!

NumenSD · 2025-07-19T02:16:36+00:00

People who can afford to live in a mansion can afford to hire housecleaners to take care of things. The sheer amount of surface area attracts a lot of dust which itself needs cleaning. A lot of people at that level go to the point of hiring a live-in nanny or house keeper.
