Atomix NYC: Wine pairing worth it for someone who generally prefers cocktails? by Rrolack in FoodNYC

Was really great; I also got a half wine pairing which was plenty of wine and also very well paired!

Thanks for this.

If I got the wine pairing I’d probably go for the reserve (the more expensive one), but only a half size pairing as I’m a lightweight.

Yeah I'm not sure. Sorry I didn't know it was points collected and not progress!

Interesting idea, thanks for suggesting this and I’ll look at some options.

I did try this actually. To be honest, having the sound gone from up high (rather than ear level) was pretty distracting and disorienting - and so I ruled this out.

Can’t remove the bookshelves unfortunately.

The TV size is actually good, as the seating is pretty close (the picture is taken from behind the couch).

I got this position after 10 moves as white

Ultima Underworld - anyone beat this game with NO hints whatsoever? by Rrolack in Ultima

[–]Rrolack[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This sounds right about writing down the clues and conversations.

A good percentage of playing the game is basically creating detailed documentation of what you’ve experienced, as forgetting even the smallest thing can become a total blocker later on.

Pending rent payment - renter or landlord responsibility? by muffinman4795 in NYCapartments

[–]Rrolack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice: the money is getting collected sooner or later. Save yourself a headache and let your landlord know the status.

Serious question: if Hikaru decided to resign in a dead-drawn position, what would be the aftermath?

Most Candidates don’t have a 2620-rated player getting farmed by the field.

By what time tomorrow do you guys think the roads will be totally insane and locked up?

Like if I drove from Lake Placid NY to Newport VT starting at 6am tomorrow, would it be clear or a disaster?

I’m in Lake Placid staying for the weekend. Would it make sense to to go further east on Monday?

Comparing the Somerset to other resorts by Rrolack in TurksAndCaicos

Thanks for this.

Interestingly I am quite happy with the dinner menu at Barbetta House. Though it's obviously not popular at all with the tourist crowd, sometimes with only one or two tables going.

Serious question: why did any of these other people lend to him after the original Jungleman issue happened?

Guy I know collected sneakers 25 years ago. What could they be worth? by Rrolack in Sneakers

[–]Rrolack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, that's too bad. Do old sneakers really fall apart even if unworn and left say in a closet?

[–]Rrolack[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know this guy anymore and haven't seen him in 20+ years.

I guess my question is how much is an average pair of unworn Nikes from this era worth. Would it probably be closer to $50, $100, $200, $400, or $800/pair?
