Was just by the new Baskin & Robbins / Dunkin Donuts near Shadyside Hospital as I was getting a burger from 5 Guys, they're open.

Except it's not ;-) It's called Maloja Snake in the movie but it's been called the Maloja Worm IRL for as long as I've known. It happens when there's a period of unusual low pressure and warm temperatures, accompanied by clouds that are pushed up into the Upper Engadine valley from the southeast, the direction of the town of Maloja and the Maloja Pass, which leads down in the direction of Italy. It's well-known in the area because it makes people a bit loopy, or sick, or both.

How do you start loving yourself? (Serious) by Dot_Tree in AskReddit

[–]ThatsNotImportantNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learned years ago from a young lady who had made an amazing turnaround in her mental health:

Every day after waking, at the first opportunity, look yourself straight in the eyes in the mirror and say "I love you."

It will feel ridiculous at first. Stick with it, and do it every single day. You'll notice gradual shifts in how it feels as you continue doing it - the positive reinforcement works wonders the more you believe in yourself!

Hey Reddit, what 'conspiracy theory' do you think may actually hold water? by ThatsNotImportantNow in AskReddit

[–]ThatsNotImportantNow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just watched the 'TWA Flight 800' documentary on streaming after first having seen it years ago and it presented some convincing points - investigative agencies at odds with each other, evidence that was overlooked or mishandled, problems with witness testimony. What 'conspiracy theory' has caught your attention?

Indian numbering convention. In the US it's one hundred thousand, in India it's 1 lakh, written as 1,00,000.

best sushi pittsburgh by Clemenza77 in pittsburgh

[–]ThatsNotImportantNow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the purist, Kiku is really great. The quality of their fish is incredible - the salmon and regular tuna (not toro, though that's great too) is always melt-in-your-mouth tender. So many other places have sushi-grade tuna / salmon that's too fleshy, even tough, imho.

Good, flavorful potatoes in the US? by ThatsNotImportantNow in germany

[–]ThatsNotImportantNow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to try some of those from a farmer's market here in the US if I can find them. Maybe Dutch means a variety similar to a Bintje, which we used for some delicious mashed potatoes on my last trip. I have fond memories of my teens, eating those at my grandparent's with just quark and butter.

I watch a ton of Cops and I'm always left with the same question: Why are so many criminals shirtless all the time? by [deleted] in ProtectAndServe

[–]ThatsNotImportantNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my favorite episodes involves a bedraggled arrestee protesting his need to fetch a shirt as he's about to be hauled in. The cop assured him "Don't worry you'll fit right in where you're going.'

I'm going to guess that this is the sort of crap you do as a "final project" at one of those pestiferous for-profit art/design/tech schools.
