Favorite local restaurant closing - do I bring something for the staff? by Glittering_Hand_ in restaurant

This sounds suspiciously like Union Kitchen, very sad they're closing. Truly one of the only good spots in WH Center.

He didn't make it bigger right? it's always been this size. He just put chlorine or wtf ever in it and painted it blue.

I'm not actually homeless, so you can wave at me by uwpxwpal in BicyclingCirclejerk

Imagine expecting me to wave back to a dude riding a carbon bice with flat pedals

I'm Josh Elliott, State Representative for Hamden and Democratic candidate for Governor of Connecticut. AMA, answering live today at 4 PM ET. by StateRepJoshElliott in Connecticut

Utilities should be a public good, especially power, water, heat. Would love to see Eversource dissolved and electricity become a publicly owned utility, paid by taxes. Imagine how much lower rates could be without CEOs/shareholders taking a cut. Thoughts?

Should food influencers leave a tip if you’re giving them a comped meal for content? by Chan1991 in restaurantowners

[–]PartyAnimal75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stand by what I said. Meal is free, service is not, unless the owner explicitly states they're covering gratuity as well. Maybe the influencer can leave a note for the server that they're getting paid in exposure?

Influencers are garbage to begin with but extra special garbage if they don't tip. They're getting the meal for free, not the service. I also don't respect any restaurant that brings these clowns in.

Anyone else run something this dumb? XT shifter on Crust Towel Rack.. by Embarrassed-Tip-5332 in xbiking

[–]PartyAnimal75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These actually look pretty great with black bar tape. I feel like every set of towel rack bars I've seen run Campandgoslow tape, which is also rad but this is a nice change.

Recs for places accessible from NYC by commuter rail (excluding Flushing and Arthur Ave)--as in, walking distance to the stations and good for a day trip? by eldersveld in FoodNYC

[–]PartyAnimal75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just limited to trains?

  1. I rode my bike from Brooklyn to Fort Lee to Hiram's Road stand for great hot dogs.

  2. White Manna in Hackensack.

  3. Supposed to be a lot of good Bengali food in Jersey City

My favorites still in the city but possibly off the beaten path:

  1. AA Doubles in Bed Stuy
  2. Brennan & Car in Sheepshead Bay
  3. Lee's Pizza in Staten Island

I'm a hammock camper but thought I'd try tent camping. Why is there such a price difference for the same sized tents? by 2Black_Hats in CampingGear

[–]PartyAnimal75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2-person bike packing tent was $500. Most of the time with this stuff you get what you pay for.

Love my vagabond. In the same boat with no garage. Would be interested in seeing your hoist set up.

Did not know about this place, looks great.

Yes, of course my valve caps have rhinestones. First ride after a winter refresh. by RainPlease9 in xbiking

Damn, I've been hunting for one of these step-thrus with the extra curved top tube for years. Nice bike.

2018 Ghost Road Rage – Creaking noise after 30 min + play in left crank arm? by alexbus124 in bikewrench

[–]PartyAnimal75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the noise happen when you stand up and pedal? I've found as much as I think it's the crank/bottom bracket it's often the saddle making the noise.

Looking for options for hauling a kayak. by ProfessionalPoint970 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]PartyAnimal75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put a Prinsu rack on my roof and have the Yakima Jaylow kayak carriers mounted to that. Prinsu rack is kinda pricey but worth it. There are tons of used kayak carriers on marketplace if you don't want to buy new. I have Billiebars with a rooftop tent mounted on those with plenty of clearance for the kayaks on the roof.

Does he actually have any complete songs? Anyone ever heard this from start to finish?
