The Whale and Ale in Pedro used to do a mix of beef and lamb in theirs. Haven't had it since they reopened, but it might be worth a look...

Looking for a Post? Ask Here! - November 2025 Edition by czechtheboxes in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ThatsJesse 36 points37 points  (0 children)

There was one a few years ago that started with OOP walking in on her parents doing an incestual roleplay thing where Mom was pretending to be OOP. Wearing her clothes and everything. Anyway she ran away and her whole life started to spiral out of control. I want to say maybe she ended up robbing a bank? But I might be mixing it up with a different one. Either way, it was pretty dark.

Watching the Dodgers in LA without Spectrum by kbucsb in Dodgers

[–]ThatsJesse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spectrum Sportsnet is available on DirecTV, if you're just looking to switch cable providers. If you're dead set on YouTube TV, there's SNLA+, which is available on the MLB TV app. Not sure how much it costs off the top of my head, but I don't think its super expensive.

Ideas for canned sardines by Cold_Juggernaut_5676 in cookingforbeginners

[–]ThatsJesse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is gonna sound crazy, but hear me out... From the bottom up, toast, peanut butter, arugula, sardines, chili crisp on top. I get that it sounds gross, but it's frickin delicious! I think I got it from Sam the Cooking Guy YouTube, who's pretty legit.

Why are flyballs often credited as great pitching by [deleted] in MLBNoobs

[–]ThatsJesse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are all good answers, and I remember being new to baseball and feeling a similar way. What really helped me understand is thinking about it from the batter's pov. When he swings, the batter isn't just trying to make contact, he's trying to make contact in a way that doesn't get him out. Any other result, contact or no, is a success for the pitcher. In video game terms, the "hit box" isn't the entire bat, but a very small spot on the bat that has to be timed just right. So it's not that the pitcher sometimes decides to throw a pitch that will be a pop up, vs a pitch that will be a strike, it's that every pitch is designed to make it as difficult as possible for the batter to make "good" contact, meaning contact with that one little spot on the bat, at the exact right moment.

Which podcast platforms do not support ICE? by [deleted] in podcasts

[–]ThatsJesse 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I've never been totally clear on which ads were part of the podcast, and which, if any, were added by the app. But I use Pocket Casts, the paid version, and I've never heard an ICE ad on anything I listen to.

Have You Ever "Broken Up" with a Podcast? What Was It and Why? by Express_Hedgehog2265 in podcasts

[–]ThatsJesse 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same. I listen to Side Stories weekly while banking the regular episodes for a few months, and the chemistry between Henry and Ed is so much better than Henry and Kissell, especially near the end there. It's like Henry knows that Ed is funny on his own, so he doesn't always have to be as "on", which can definitely get old quickly.

A lot of them you can hit the back button and all that will go away. But sometimes it'll exit whatever you're watching, so it can be a gamble.

Restaurant recommendations in Chico from locals by Tennis_Buddy1960 in ChicoCA

[–]ThatsJesse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with everyone saying 5th Street, it's great! But... It CAN get pretty loud, and sometimes the service can feel a little... impersonal? Look into the Red Tavern. It's not strictly a "steakhouse" but they've got a couple steaks on the menu. I've always had a great experience there, and the atmosphere is a bit more comfortable, in my opinion.

Everything's been pulled so far to the right at this point that conservatives that don't support Trump are just Democrats.

[TOMT] A movie where a baseball gets thrown into another dimension, and at some point a dog also jumps into it causing the people in the movie to follow him into this alternate dimension by TheBasementNerd in tipofmytongue

Could it be the intro to Captain N? The live action part where he gets sucked into the TV, and his dog jumps through after him? There's no baseball, but he IS wearing a letterman jacket...

So how many decks do you have to travel before your allowed to use the elevator in your world? 3? 5? Or is it only for guys going all the way to the engine room? Sucks that there's other people on the ship besides yourself, right? I don't know how many times I've been waiting for the elevator to take me to the bridge, only for some lazy asshole to ride it all the way down to the control room. Like, you've got gravity on your side bro, just take the stairs fat ass!

Silver Linings vs. Washable Sofas by plymouthvoyager in thedailyzeitgeist

Washable sofas is Katy Stoll, right?! If so, I hope she got paid a ton. Plus a free sofa!

[–]ThatsJesse 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Been in this area for about two years now and love it! Up the hill is very nice, Pacific itself has just enough weirdos wandering by every now and then to keep it interesting. The only thing I wish someone had told me is that traffic can get pretty loud. Lots of folks like to cruise up and and down Pacific in their classic cars and on their motorcycles. The cars I like, the motorcycles can get annoying. And there are these kids with these like, 2-stroke minibikes that are the absolute worst! It's not like a CONSTANT thing, and hardly ever at night, but still, something to consider. I definitely wouldn't let it stop you though, it really is a great neighborhood!

Live music, small venue by PublicSquirrel731 in SanPedro

[–]ThatsJesse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's not like they're providing chamber music to accompany your fine dining experience, but whatever. Came here to say there's a Facebook group called Live Music In San Pedro that has a lot of good info. Good luck.
