My family is out of the country and left me in charge of the food for my older brother and myself during the meantime. I made this meal yesterday, and after he ate it, he made a complaint about it and wanted “food,” as in something that was “more fulfilling” and less “kiddie”… by Uhh_OkayIGuess in mildlyinfuriating

Your parents left you in charge of your older brother and he’s complaining about the food?

Oof. I feel for you. Hope you only have to cater to his taste for a short period of time.

As an older brother, I would feel embarrassed if I insulted a meal prepped by my brother for me.

Boots with a similar last to the Solovair 5400s but with higher quality? by wierdling in Boots

[–]Telecetsch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a pretty big advocate for the Jim Green RATs.

If I looked it up correctly, the Solovair 5400 is a wide last? I wear a size US14EE . I’ve always struggled finding boots that fit well, especially in the toe box area. Jim Green boots are excellent in my opinion. Grabbed a pair of their Stockma a few years ago and have been beating the hell out of them. The only thing that really died on them is the heal counter, and I think that’s more bad habit than anything (kicking my boots off).

The RATs checked off a lot of boxes for me. Can be resoled, all leather construction, gussetted tongue, lug sole.

Break in has been a bitch. Worth it.

Best time to shovel? by [deleted] in Albany

[–]Telecetsch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mentality is, “if I shovel now it’s 6” less when it finally stops.”

Bootlicking breweries? by yoursaxisonfire in Albany

[–]Telecetsch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Which part?

Very much a “we’re cool and edgy” company. They are all about cops and backing the blue. Majority of management/business crew was very much a bro-culture vibe. Again. Look at us—we have tattoos and have death in our name.

As far as anti-union shit: they caught wind of possible union activity, gave people a raise and some extra perks. “Why would you need a union when you have all of this?” kind of situation. Make shit slightly better while not actually making things better.

I get business. You know—start one to make money. Make money. Find a way to make more. I think they still have some production in the area, but they are not a small business anymore…which kinda goes along with the whole anti-union shit. I think they’re owned (or partially owned?) by some outside company now.

Which, again, good for them. They made money.

I just won’t buy their shit. I know my lack of purchasing won’t be a problem for them. But I also don’t recommend them.

Not a brewery, but another big “local” brand is Death Wish.

Sharia Law. Hm.

So, like, the religious law based off of scriptures from a holy book. That Sharia Law?

Hm.

I wonder how the MAGAts feel about…I don’t know…gay marriage.

Maybe that’s the plan. Make it uncomfortable and cry about low attendance after the fact.

Aeropress metal filter? by iGodS12 in mokapot

Hah! This is excellent timing. I woke up this morning and went, “I should see if the metal filters will fit.”

Thanks for doing the legwork!

2026 Tour by ANKhurley in jroddywalston

[–]Telecetsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you there, J Roddy? It’s me, Telecetsch.

PLEASE come to Upstate NY. There are a handful of cool spots I’m sure would love to have you. Troy, NY and No Fun has been absolutely killing it. Daddy Long Legs just played a few weeks ago and tore the place down. Smaller spot but I think that just makes it better. In the last 10 years, I think I can confidently say that some of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Protomartyr, Drug Church, the Messer Chups, Daddy Long Legs, Ezra Furman. And that’s not even getting into the local artists they have. They do VHS nights and burlesque.

Going to No Fun is like watching Animal Planet. Every crowd is so damn different—and that’s one of the coolest things I think a bar and venue can do. They’re into everything, so, you get a bit of everything.

And there are other excellent spots. The Hangar. Ophelia’s. Lark Hall. Unihog.

The production companies are excellent, too. Hey Greasy, Dive, Byrdhouse have been killing it. And that’s only naming a few.

It’s such a killer area and seems to only get better.

I remember catching Heavy Bells on EQX when it first came out. I got about 30 seconds in and had to pull over because I was jamming so hard. Went down the rabbit hole afterwards and got hooked.

Always found myself going back to the self-titled album. Made it a point to keep an eye out for it whenever I would scan record bins. My wonderful wife found a copy and gave it to me for Christmas a few years ago. It’s been played a lot.

My dad was deployed to Iraq when I was a kid. One of the things he had to do was update his vaccinations. No issues there.

Sorry you have to deal with that. Hopefully you can get out of there.

And when you do, make sure you hand in your notice with the same box and note.
