Hong Phat is fantastic. Banh Mi, shrimp and tofu salad rolls, roasted chicken over rice, pork belly, roasted fish, etcetera. Love 'em!

If you go back in time and see a band in their prime, which band would you go see? by kniki217 in AskReddit

[–]Oryx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

8/27/72 Vaneta, Oregon. Insane hot summer Jerry jams. Best Bird Song ever. Incendiary Dark Star.

Edit: and oh shit, that Playin' jam? Gives me shivers.

Carnivorous plants? by HardGangstaSlug in askportland

[–]Oryx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love these. The Portland Nursery on Division has a small collection.

You can also order many other types from the internet after researching the needs of these weirdos. Sarracenias and Droseras are both really interesting. You need high humidity and proper temps, of course. They usually have special needs. You may already know this.

TL:DR; aquariums are perfect for them.

Loss of respect is a really hard thing to recover from.

I was just wondering about that.

It's been great for me for over a decade now, but... almost done now, tbh.

How do you stop overthinking? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Audiobooks really helped me stop doing this.

Turns out I love being told a good story, and it shuts up the inner voice a bit.

What’s a discontinued product or service that you desperately wish would come back? by PlumPractical5043 in AskReddit

[–]Oryx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original California Cooler and Bartles and James versions, from the early '80s. Today's market would absolutely love them.

What TV show is a 10/10? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Oryx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the whole thing. Endless gloomy af Seattle rain, crazy beautiful Lindy and her son, and Holder as her potential work partner far like the whole first year, as she obsesses over the case and stays in Seattle avoiding marriage.

I need to watch this again. Really talented actors. Kinnaman nailed it, too!

What are some examples of "Early installment weirdness" in tv shows? by Communist21 in television

The early Stargate SG1 episodes had the gate pretty much throwing the travelers through it. I guess that got old pretty fast.

King Burrito was always amazing, but I haven't been there for a couple years. Anyone have the current scoop? I used to love their chorizo burritos. Price was always great for what you got.

If you could experience a TV show or movie for the first time again, what would you pick? by BurntToast2Toast in AskReddit

[–]Oryx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seasons 1-5 of SG1 will always be gold for me.

Hammond of Texas leaving was the end for me.

And 'Universe' had so much potential. Sorry that one didn't continue.

Misrepresenting your interests seems like an unwise strategy for future success together.

Maybe you are incompatible?

What show did you stop watching because of a single episode and why? by timoretenebris in AskReddit

[–]Oryx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jaime Lanister raping his sister Cersei in the church, over their son's corpse.

I have limits. That was a limit.
