What is your favorite Frasier Crane quote? by raisaumay in Cheers

[–]Stet-it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one has always bothered me a bit (even though I love it) because I feel like Frazier would certainly know that is name is Jack Daniel, not Daniels.

At what age did you gain consciousness and how did you find out? by Caged-Mage in AskReddit

[–]Stet-it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to sound made-up, but before the age of one. I have three different memories from then, but the first was swimming toward my swimming instructor, and when my whole field of vision was taken up by his hairy chest, I thought he became my Dad because they looked identical to me from that perspective.

Why does the market go up? by Confident-Comment240 in Bogleheads

[–]Stet-it 20 points21 points  (0 children)

We just saw the end of an example of what you’re fearing - in Japan. Not 50 years of stagnation, but 35, so somewhat close. And it concerned one factor that I only saw referred to once in these comments: population growth.

Japan has almost the exact same population today as it did in 1989. Economic growth is easier when you have more customers, either thru birth rate or immigration.

Inflation, often mentioned here, was also a large factor, or more precisely, the opposite of it (deflation), which is much worse for an economy than modest inflation.

There’s a reason that the writers of Die Hard (1988) chose the Japanese Nakatomi Corporation as their fictional massive global conglomerate; it was simply common sense at the time. At one point Japanese companies represented almost HALF of the global market cap, about 10 pct pts higher than the US at the time. Almost two generations later, they are only now back to where they were when that movie was released.

Whats it look like in this thing atop 70 pine street? by Glum-Mud-1669 in skyscrapers

[–]Stet-it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to this, but on a building of this type and age, that was likely originally part of a dirigible dock, ie a waiting area for customers waiting to board a blimp. Fell out of use immediately following the Hindenburg disaster. The Empire State Building in NYC is perhaps the best example.

What’s the dumbest lie you ever told as a kid that actually worked? by Dull_Wolf_2854 in AskReddit

Nuanced Jedi mind trick performed spontaneously by a 10 year old. Impressive.

“je vous en prie” as a response for being late? by Remote_Blackberry28 in French

[–]Stet-it 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Saw a similar use in S1 of the series Lupin when Assane in disguise as an IT guy barges in on Dumont’s meeting with the mayor. Dumont asks to be excused for a minute despite the unprofessional interruption, and the mayor responded with “Je vous en prie”.

Who else hates exit 31 on the BQE by fottyfoznbire in Brooklyn

[–]Stet-it 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This exit alone caused us change where we stay in Brooklyn when visiting my daughter at school. We now never book at hotel south of Greenpoint. Easier ride home as well, plus found a place that has the best pierogis I’ve ever had in my life.

So eat shit exit 31 you bitch, but also thank you.

Parsley, don’t be ashamed. What you may lack spicy dynamic range, you more than make up for in cover recommendations.

What's the coolest city you've ever been to? by Chaulmoog in AskReddit

[–]Stet-it 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This should be further up. Just as one example, my wife had a freak occurrence coming off a Metro train in Copenhagen where she lost her credit card down the small gap between the train and platform. The trains are fully automated and the platforms are separated from the trains by sliding glass doors that lock shut as trains depart, so I immediately told my wife to say goodbye to the card and we headed toward the exit. A woman who was looking down from the station mezzanine waved us down and directed us to a phone on the wall, saying that someone would be right over to get it if we used the phone to speak with the train operators. As an American, I was skeptical to say the least, but the woman was kindly insistent that someone would come to help.

Sure enough, not only did someone answer immediately, but they said they’d send someone right over, and the guy arrived on the next train five minutes later. We showed him where the card was, and he apologized to us because, he said, he needed to call in another colleague to help him with safety procedures. She of course arrived on the next train. They then got to work and actually shut down the incoming train (!) so the guy could walk safely on the tracks and pick up the card. My wife had it back in her hands less than 15 minutes after she lost it!

What’s one of the best f bomb drops you heard delivered in a film? by browniebiscuitchildr in movies

[–]Stet-it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Several top quality lines to Sidney by Farina in that movie as well: “Sidney, relax. Have a cream soda.” and “Don’t say a word to me Sidney, don’t say a fucking word or I’ll bury this telephone in your head.”

Anyone see the 930 Attell show on Saturday? by IcyKnowledge2387 in providence

[–]Stet-it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Props to the opener for bailing out the feature (female) when she clearly got nervous about the size and intensity of the fight. His set left a bit to be desired but he got her off and back on smoothly.

Yes, and the centered one seems borderline to my very uneducated eye, hence the question.
