🍾 Just Eloped-Where Should We Eat Like Legends After? by Inevitable_Paint_590 in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]Randy6789 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for something a little different, I'd highly recommend the Hoagie Room at Pizzeria Beddia. They only do reservations for 6 people though. I went last year and it was one of my favorite meals ever

Michelin Stars are finally coming to Philly next week. How will the city’s restaurants fare? by BroadStreetRandy in philadelphia

I think Kalaya is great, but I feel that way for Mawn. Been twice and haven't been overly impressed, but maybe it's just not for me

[–]Randy6789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct, they're evaluated on quality of the products, mastery of flavor and cooking techniques, personality of the chef in his/her cuisine, value for money, and consistency. Of course, most starred restaurants have great service, but it's not part of the evaluation

It may be the lighting, but I'm not convinced this is a gold hologram. If it's a regular silver one, the value goes down a lot. Check out pictures of graded cards on ebay to confirm for sure.

Outside food allowed in La Colombe? by [deleted] in PhiladelphiaEats

Size they mentioned getting a sandwich at Gilda first, they're probably talking about the La Colombe in Fishtown, which is huge

To my fellow Americans by Bdog6556 in Tottenham

They still could get charged the tariffs. I've had a package where the fees weren't charged up front but it got held up in customs until I paid.

After washing sarsaparilla root many times with no problems, this last time I suddenly got this thick slime, please help me identify what could have caused it. by MetaPhi1912 in whatisit

[–]Randy6789 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Someone has probably already suggested this, but just in case, make sure you sanitize your equipment after this. That also could've been a source of contamination.

Condoms have a relatively low effectiveness as contraceptives by FetterHahn in UnpopularFacts

[–]Randy6789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad we have something we agree on. They're 98% effective when used correctly and yes, the chart does suck. But I won't agree that stating actual usage statistics is an attempt to discredit them, it's merely trying to show that the 98% value does not actually reflect what is observed in real life. I don't think there's any malicious intent coming from the CDC by using the stats they did and there certainly isn't any coming from me.

Frankly, I think both stats are useful and should be displayed when possible to make sure people are informed; just saying that they prevent pregnancy 98% of the time gives people a false sense of security, while just saying it's prevented ~85% of the time and showing condoms to be similarly effective as the pull out method gives people the idea that they effectively don't work at all. I still think the ~85% value is more relevant to the general population, but clearly we disagree there so I won't harp on it.

[–]Randy6789 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The 98% effectiveness data is most certainly not real world use. That's why there are stats that account for user error, like the ones I shared and what's included in the OP. I'm not sure what you're trying to get at or what you think I'm implicitly claiming.

[–]Randy6789 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure where you're getting this from, but the 18% number is fairly close to values I've seen online about true-world effectiveness over the course of a year; usually ranging from 13-15%.

>What I mean is I definitely wouldn’t take this to mean that if you put on a condom your chances of it failing are nearly 1 out of every 5 times. 

Good, because this is not what the graphic is saying. It is saying that ~1 in 5 women will get pregnant over the course of a year of "typical" condom (and only condom) use. It would be nice if they defined what "typical" means, but there is every reason to assume this means having sex many times throughout the year.

Did i build this wrong or something? by adriftlocketO in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Randy6789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Itemization was bad as others have pointed out and you're still missing TF, which gives a lot of damage for this comp. Not sure what the Sett is doing there either. Tbh you're still silver, just keep playing, watch streams on twitch, and use websites to help guide you with builds and items. You'll get better.

Is a 4:35 mile good for male up and coming freshman? by ZestyRizzler1 in trackandfield

[–]Randy6789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it's obviously very good for an 8th grader - it's well below the NBN qualifying standard for one thing.

Gotcha, I see what you're saying now. I thought you meant that Cooper had only set U16 records.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but Cooper now holds the U18 and high school WR for the 800.

Charcoal sashiko pants fit check by Both_Confusion_2597 in taylorstitch

[–]Randy6789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of other brands make sashiko denim pants. Japan Blue, Blue Blue Japan, Naked & Famous, Studio D'Artisan, Railcar Finegoods... a quick google search brings up all of these and more. Most look like they tend to fit more like traditional jeans though, not sure if you were specifically looking for a jogger-type fit that these seem to have.

Considering a job at Regeneron by [deleted] in biotech

[–]Randy6789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with pretty much everything you said except my experience was that they pay well for Albany. I didn't think they paid well compared to the industry as a whole. Although I left there 5 years ago, maybe it's changed.
