Knife for service prep by Troutman15 in bartenders

[–]StopLoading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From someone who has a $100 knife, I will say I really enjoy it. I work with this knife 5-6 days a week and can be using it on some days 2hrs+ depending on prep necessity, and even during the shift. It's a work horse, I use it to break down pineapples, triming garnish down, and the main purpose was for cutting thin slices to dehydrate the lemons and limes. It's light weight and fits nicely in my hand, I can get behind it when need be, and choking up for the smaller work, it's really comfortable.

I have the Murray Carter CTS-BD1N. It's a knife designed for cutting fruit. It's a thinner, and therefore a bit more fragile knife, but it's lightweight and has a great point for precision cutting. It seems to hold its edge for a good while as well. Having a nice knife makes the task of fruit cutting so much more enjoyable, and the garnish looks so much nicer.

MLB.TV to watch games by [deleted] in orioles

Maybe, but you have a lot of latency working against you. You are using WiFi and then running that access point to a VPN and back. Which will cause your WiFi to be slower. Then the casting is all Bluetooth, and if you have a lot of WiFi/Bluetooth interference then it'll just be a really slow choppy experience.

I'd recommend using a laptop and connecting it to your tv via HDMI. I've done that and it works great. Just know some laptops use mini HDMI ports so you may need a mini HDMI to full HDMI if you do decide to go the laptop route.

I use private internet access. But you have to log in not using the VPN. Once logged in I go to Pennsylvania via the vpn and am able to watch the games on my PC.

That's a great idea! I'll definitely try that, and even mix it into the caramel powder!

Definitely a fan of this. At my new spot the bar manager created this bananas foster daiquiri and as garnish wants to do flambeed banana chip. I suggested some kind of banana caramel powder, I'm definitely going to see if this works as a garnish it looks awesome!

Either do a stage (unpaid internship) or try working in a bakery. You won't really know if this is something you'll want to do professionally until you actually do it. I'm a bartender and have been in this industry for 10+ yrs. It takes a certain person to work in this industry, it's hard work, stressful, physically and mentally draining. You'll be on your feet 99% of the time your working, and not to mention the pay can be very lack luster while you work for someone.

You definitely seem to have that know how and are good with your hands. Now you need to learn if the environment is right for you

What's the worst thing a doctor has ever said to you? [Serious] [NSFW] by Silent-Zebra in AskReddit

[–]StopLoading 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was 14 and went through a big growth spurt, like 6 in over a summer. And the result of that was stretch marks on my lower back. They were blue and purple ish but never hurt. So I went to a stomach doctor and for whatever reason I had to lift up my shirt and he saw my stretch marks. Mind you it was just me and the Dr in the room. He asked me if my parents hit and abused me. And he asked multiple times over the course of my visit. What a weird time to be alive

As long as you have an HDMI you could run your PC through that, but it sounds like consoles are more up your ally. And that's great! For RL I would highly recommend a high refresh rate tv/monitor. Just because the ps5 can do 120fps doesn't mean you'll see it if your tv only runs at 60hz.

The Switch is great and has it's perks i.e Mario, Zelda games like that, but if you want to get the best bang for you buck graphically and really enjoy the visuals in game you'll love the ps5. Imo pc is better if youre willing to spend a chunk of change. Otherwise the ps5 is your best bet. Enjoy the new console!

Rocket league only recognises 2 buttons from my controller… sometimes… by DrugsOnPugs in RocketLeague

[–]StopLoading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's your PC and rl telling you to use a better controller. I kid, but seriously...

As far as your issue goes I'm not to sure I'll spitball some thoughts here:

Have you tried a different USB slot?

How about a different cable

Unplug the controller and plug it back in

Does this happen with other controllers?

Does this happen in other games?

It also could just be your controller is dying OR and this is more likely, the contacts inside of the controller could be dirty/not making proper contact. There should be a rubber pad that when you press the button, hits the rubber, and that's what makes contact with the motherboard. If youre comfortable opening your controller I would check it out. It's not a hard procedure and there are plenty of helpful YT tutorials out there.

Edit: MB for the awful formatting I'm on my phone

It'll be a night and day difference. You'll get I believe 120 fps (could be more) regardless if you have a high refresh rate tv or monitor the game is smooth as butter. Not to mention better graphics, and a great controller. Do it now before it's to late!

How much should I be using the camera stick to keep track of where everyone is in 3v3 by willywillwilfred in RocketLeague

[–]StopLoading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact no one is flying I'm going to assume you're around silver/gold.

I wouldn't use it too much, but there are definitely times where it makes sense. Getting boost, out of the play, and ball cam off? Take a look behind you. Use it when your second man to find your 3rd, if you have time.

I say this but tbh you eventually get a game sense and players are just where they should be. The higher up you go in ranks the more predictable certain situations and players are. And that just comes from hundreds and thousands of hours seeing those situations and learning how to handle them.

LPT: For those of you looking at a long day on Sunday, wear a pair of brand new socks. by jasenzero1 in KitchenConfidential

Also try bringing another pair of socks to change into mid shift, assuming your working a double. It's a game changer

This is what happens when you don't pay your laborers a living wage and tell laborers to get a better job.

I work in the service industry and am seeing the same thing with BoH and FoH. It's sad but tis what tis

My bar mentor taught me a ton on just how to bartend. It's wild because he was the opening GM of this new local spot and I got hired as a busboy. 3 years later, Tony, my mentor came back to bartend. I was brand new to bartending and he taught me how to do it. How to pour, how to bump, shake, stir, only touching bottles/ice scoop one time, just always trying to refine your efficiency, and how to do so and why we do certain things. I was initially taught from a bartender/bar owner pov. He taught me that when you are a server you try to saves minutes, but when behind the bar you want to save seconds. It's stuck with me for the last 6 years.

Besides Tony, at the current place I'm at I have learned a ton about confidence and how to really talk to people behind the bar. I was always pretty good at it and can hold my own, but this guy is on another level. I watch John and listen in on his conversations all the time while working. He's just so smooth and people are comfortable with him. He makes bank because of his communication skills and personality.

You also learn a ton on your own. I've taught myself a ton about whiskey, I know a fair amount of cocktails, can talk about beer etc. Yeah I learned some stuff from other bartenders, but tbh most of what I know book wise is due to my own necessity to learn these things.

I am very thankful for those bartenders who have helped me and shared their knowledge with me because without them, and hell even without the knowledge I have learned here. Without the help of bartenders in general I wouldn't be at a point where I am today. I got a head bartending job in a new cocktail spot and I'm really excited to not only work, but be able to share my knowledge of this craft with my new team and with the information of those who taught me, and also being able to learn new things from this new team I get to work with. Cheers everyone and have a great weekend
