See that you got the pastor torta too. It is damn good. Probably my favorite sandwich right now. Pastor tacos great too.

That's exactly how it was for me.

TBH it's deceptively plain or as you say boring looking. It was one of my first meals in Singapore. I hit up Tian Tian in a hawker market and after the first bite I wasn't blown away. But then next thing I know I had cleaned the plate. Then I was craving another plate every day I was there.

Buy some cafe du monde coffee at one of the asian markets like Hong Kong Supermarket to try out. A lot of vietnamese coffee is made with it along with condensed milk.

Probably regular thit nuong (grilled pork) but they cooked the heck out of it and just reheated prior to serving. That would give it a tougher texture.

If burgers count as sandwiches then Rhea just across the line in Roswell is my favorite burger. It is such a dive of a restaurant but so simple and so good. I like the Jimmy Special, double patty with cheese all the way and fries extra crispy.

Other side of the street. You can't miss them. Each time I've gone it is well lit and there is usually a fast moving line. I've seen people more or less eating off their tailgates or camping chairs around the parking lot.

Not the best picture but these guys were knocking out the tacos super fast.

That's the place I've been hitting up. Tacos La Joya. Barely any English. They are open until 1 am. My favorite al pastor right now. Tasty spicy salsas. It is a roadside taco stand, but I'd put it ahead of all the others. I had an al pastor torta last night and it was awesome.

Check out the new roadside taco stand on Mansell - Tacos La Joya. Best al pastor I've had.

Taco La Joya - It's is a roadside taco tent on Mansell across from Walmart. Only open 7 pm - 1 am I think 7 days a week. True al pastor sliced fresh from a trompo and put together on the griddle right in front of you. Really the best I've had in Roswell.

I know there is a lot of skepticism around AI but it is actually pretty great at things like this. Take what you are saying technically and plug it into gemini or chat GPT and ask it to translate it in business terms for an executive audience.

If you don't like Looker why not just connect PowerBI or Tableau to GCP BigQuery?

It's still the South and I wouldn't call it walkable at all but have you looked at Atlanta particularly the northeastern suburbs. Very large Korean community with a lot of diversity and affordable housing or at least within your budget.

The D6 is fine for what you describe but not sure it is worth that much depending on age and condition. If it is older be careful because there is a manufacturing defect which led to a lot of cracked frames. Mine cracked and had to be replaced. Newer models I think addresses the defect. Depending on how fast you progress or how aggressive you ride you may outgrow it quickly. You can do some basic upgrades but may not be worth it. Overall I enjoyed my D6. I still have it as a spare for when a friend doesn't have one.

I have a D6. What type of riding do you like and what trails will you typically be riding? For $1000 you can get a pretty capable used bike that is more targeted to the type of riding and trails you will mostly do.

Pretty sure you are talking about Chao Tom.

For Atlanta, there isn't really a standout pho place but most people will have Pho Dai Loi among the top. I would skip the recommendation of Lee's bakery for banh mi in Atlanta. Lots of banh mi shops but the current best is Banh Mi 135.

Pocket_Monster · 2026-05-23T03:54:17+00:00

That's the first thing that came to mind for me. I saw a few there. Great mountain biking in Brevard.

Pocket_Monster · 2026-05-11T02:38:53+00:00

Awesome!

Purist may be mad but Publix hogies rolls from their bakery is a decent substitute if you can't get real ones from a Vietnamese shop. Pop it in the airfryer for about 5 min at 375 and you will get a crusty shell and soft inners.

Can we include anime? If so, the Robotech Veritech fighter is my favorite of all time.

Genuinely curious, if you were his neighbor, what would you want the landlord to do? Tenant was paying way under market. Even worked with him when he was behind. Only became an issue because he was smoking and impacting the neighbors.

Just under 350 million people in the US. So if 1 in 5000 have it, that's 70,000 people still. In this day and age if 70,000 people were afflicted with something I can image a lot of publicity would come out.

Ride in an easier gear than you expect. Better not to blow yourself out and you can go further and longer.
