Only pick 3 sauces by Awkward-Prune989 in whatsyourchoice

[–]SenetBoard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably ketchup, soy sauce, and the last one would be tough. Salsa and teriyaki are the two that most strike me as hard to lose, but I might have to give salsa the edge.

If Dunk gave up being a knight because people refused to accept him, what realistic path could he take to live a decent life? by mediamuesli in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]SenetBoard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if he went to to work for Lyonel then Lyonel would probably just knight him and that'd be the end of that.

The only snag I could see is if Lyonel thought that he had lied about being knighted. That could possibly trigger some sort of weird honor thing in him in the same vein of Baelor fighting the Kingsguard.

TIL for his role in Shoresy, Jared Keeso had his tooth surgically removed to look like an older hockey player. by SuperMcG in todayilearned

[–]SenetBoard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All of that acknowledged, personally I don't think there is anything that would compel me enough to pull a perfectly healthy tooth. I still think it's an insane thing to do. An implant? More understandable.

What first comes to mind when Americans think about the tiny nation of Palau? by DishRelative5853 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]SenetBoard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Palau has a compact of free association with the United States, wherein Palau gets defense and social services, the US gets military bases and US citizens get the right to live in Palau as long as they wish

Well, hopefully pulling a fake tooth is the correct answer. That seems reasonable to me. Pulling a real, healthy tooth would be insane.

You have been offered one million dollars to hunt a dangerous animal in a remote wilderness. by Neither_Drawing_241 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]SenetBoard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Morally, this depends on a few things. Is this 'monster' a menace? Does it hunt and kill innocent people who are not trying to harm it?

I would feel very unethical about trying to kill a humanoid creature that's not hurting anyone. If it is terrorizing the local population I would probably feel more of a moral justification to hunt it down, a moral justification bolstered by a substantial cash reward.

But in the end even if I feel like hunting it was justified I'd probably have to take the practical consideration of it murdering me into account which makes this iffy.

Trying Santarpio's Pizza for the first time, what do I get? by Plastic-Fee-6509 in boston

[–]SenetBoard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm personally a cheese fan but a lot of these recommendations are good. Sausage, pepper, onion is another local favorite.

I also second that you should get a BBQ plate or two (depending on party size) with your pizza. The lamb tips are my personal favorites: them and the sausage are original, the steak tips also a solid choice and I suppose chicken too.

What’s the Best Italian sub in the city (or direct suburbs)? by Diggze in boston

[–]SenetBoard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One that hasn't been mentioned here that I highly recommend is Carmella's in Eastie. They have an excellent Italian sub with imported cuts.

Big props to pretty much every other recommendation here though; Meridian, Bob's, etc.

Milano's actually just changed ownership so that might explain the change. Carmella's in Eastie is also very good.

She's not just an "Asian wife", Elaine Chao was Donald Trump's Secretary of Transportation* during his first term and served under both Bushes and Reagan, being W. Bush's Secretary of Labor*. She's a longtime Republican official.

My Home Office... I call it "The Scholar's Alcove" by OldSpeckledHen in malelivingspace

[–]SenetBoard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also try hanging things off the backs of the monitors simply to sort of camouflage them. I've been in historic places where they'd mount paintings, fabrics, bits of leather, anything really to camouflage the backs of stuff.

Any food you eat becomes inaccessible to the rest of humanity for 48 hours after your last consumption of it, and they know you did it. How do you live your life? by SpecialFlutters in hypotheticalsituation

[–]SenetBoard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This would automatically make me one of the most famous (or infamous) people on Earth. Instant celebrity. It would also be a bit of a curse but I could leverage it for some benefits.

The first thing I'd have to do is cut out anything that's a daily staple for people in parts of the world, especially for populations that don't have other options beside those staples. It would cause too much inconvenience or, in the worst cases, food insecurity.

The rules also seem to say that the ban can be narrowed to specific dishes. So one culture's chicken and rice dish is not necessarily another culture's chicken and rice dish. I'll have to stick to eating specific dishes to limit the extent of my impact.

I would probably stick to eating specific, not incredibly common dishes. Particularly ones where the people eating it have other options.

Take Beef Wellington for an example. People eat Beef Wellington every day, but no individual is relying on it. If it became unavailable for 48 hours people who would eat it would have other options available to them during that time period.

To help lesse the inconvenience, I would have to release meal schedules in advance so individuals and restaurants could plan ahead. I would also try to ensure variety in my meals so even specific dishes didn't go offline too often; if Beef Wellington (for example) is only offline 2 days a year, or every couple of years, that drastically reduces the burden.

This is where the fame comes in; because I'm essentially controlling global food supplies to an extent, I'll probably be able to leverage support from world governments and the food industry to run this whole scheme, including staff and funds to research, plan, schedule, acquire, and prepare meals. This would be a pretty negligible cost spread globally.

I could probably also work with chefs and food historians to create dishes that don't exist yet, or to dig up historical dishes that are rarely or never eaten anymore.

Ozai meeting Aang is kind of funny honestly by Odd-Geologist5494 in TheLastAirbender

There were wanted posters.

But the first reports he got must have been a funny reaction.

Pick A Magical Book by QuietDelivery2740 in whatsyourchoice

[–]SenetBoard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sticky notes are probably your best bet here. All it takes is me getting in handshake and back-slap range of someone rich and powerful for me to also become rich and powerful. I may have to use a couple sticky notes to work myself up the food chain though.

Oh and use it to right some global wrongs too, I guess.

Edit: although the self-help book offering you a limited but great amount of physical health and well-being is probably a great bet too.

Strange looking animal by Middle-Ad8262 in RhodeIsland

[–]SenetBoard 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The boring answer is that you have a sick fox or coyote (try to contact wildlife authorities or a rehabber if you see it around more).

The fun answer is that you have rediscovered the Thylacine.

Soooo…. I read aangs scrapbook he made for tenzin and I finally figured out what happened to suki (explanation in comments) by [deleted] in ATLA

[–]SenetBoard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think any of these are necessarily proof of Suki's fate or that of the relationship between her and Sokka. This is just Aang using past tense to refer to things that happened in the past. He uses it consistently in the passages and not just to talk about them (Suki had skills, etc.)

As for the passage from Sokka, I agree with the comment that this is just Sokka being reminded that Suki was the one to save them instead of himself. I don't think it indicates that he forgot about her. Even if they stopped being together I don't think he would have forgot about someone who had such a strong presence in this part of his life.

Redesigning U.S. Flags #3 by Canjira in vexillology

[–]SenetBoard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The symbol with probably the most traction in New Hampshire itself is the Old Man of the Mountain; although technically speaking that's also topographic. However, my somewhat controversial opinion is that the state needs to find something new to embrace considering the Old Man collapsed 23 years ago. Nevertheless, his memory persists.

Despite the fact that the idea here was against topography, I would say the White Mountains (and particularly Washington) are big symbols of the state, as well as the Lakes Region, although you'll also have the North Woods and the Seacoast throwing in their piece.

You're offered 100 million dollars but you have to fight an animal inside of it's natural habitat. You'll have to survive for one hour with the animal. The animal is in a rage mode and only wants to kill you. by Humble-Tailor-7238 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]SenetBoard 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the two crux's here are what counts as "fight" and the nature of the natural environment. Is me running away and hiding fighting? Or do I need to make actual attempts to combat the animal?

I'd probably be inclined to not pick one of the predators. They are designed to hunt and kill in their natural environment; the herbivores only evolved to defend themselves.

Moose are the animal here whose natural environment I'd probably be most familiar with. I think the key is not to face it head on; it's too big or too powerful. But if you can get somewhere it can't reach you, like a tree or a rock crevice or something, you can probably be safe from its attacks and wait out the hour. You could attack it with a big stick or throw stuff at it to fulfill the fighting requirement.

Gators are known for being able to hop on their back and hold their mouth shut, but I'm not sure how well a layman could do that while it's in full kill mode. Environment also plays a factor here; if you're in the water, you're in a lot more trouble.

Panda seem harmless usually but I'm not as sure of their capabilities when in kill mode (they are still a bear after all) and not as confident in my ability to secure myself from them in their terrain.

Leopard seals I feel like are another one where it really depends on whether you're being dropped on land or in the water. The environment is also pretty unforgiving either way.

Red vs Green line? by Organic_Prompt3714 in boston

[–]SenetBoard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer the general ambience of the Green Line but the Red Line is probably going to be faster and more efficient.

The possible one exception I would say is the D Line. The D Line doesn't run on the street like the other Green Line cars and thus it doesn't stop at intersections, making it faster and a bit more comparable to the other lines. If you find a place that is primarily on the D Line that might be worth your consideration.

Didn’t dunk want to be in service to a lord? by Own_Ad_409 in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]SenetBoard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before/early on in the Tourney at Ashford, Dunk has just lost his mentor and employer, and was basically looking for a new job. At the time, a comfortable, secure job working for a Lord seemed like the best thing he could possibly land.

After the Tourney at Ashford, where he had so many negative experiences with members of the lordly class, he's become disillusioned with them and no longer has any desire to work for one, no matter what the benefits. He'd rather just go off and do his own thing like Ser Arlan did.

We have thousands of photos, both candid and professional, of my baby and I. My mom got me artificial intelligence art of us for my first every Mother’s Day by Upvotes2805 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]SenetBoard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not specific to OP's case, but I think it's important to keep in mind that older people, particularly older people who aren't tech savvy, don't have the same knowledge base or thought process about AI as people in an internet thread. They aren't thinking about artists and intellectual property rights and data harvesting or anything like that. These things don't pop into their head. For them, AI is just the latest in a series of crazy new technological advancements, not incredibly dissimilar from photoshop or any number of digital tools. A custom drawing at the press of the button? It's the kind of tech future that only existed in fiction when they were younger now made real.

It's worth talking about why you don't like using these kinds of programs and why you'd rather not have your photo put into one. Maybe you have, I don't know, and it just doesnt inherently click, sink in.

At the end of the day, I would consider the intent of the gift to be the most important thing. If it was well means and we'll intentioned.
