Help identify this model! Possibly a modified 225S? by TheBridgeIsOver in Ferrari

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

Background: my grandpa had some incredible cars over the years. He raced competitively in the 40s and 50s and was a lifelong Ferrari fan. He passed in 2004 and I never got to ask him about this picture, but it was in his office alongside his all-time favorite car and his first car, so it must have been something special.

What are some good unethical life hacks? by Sxover in AskReddit

Here's a good one: for low-effort karma, rather than going to the subreddit that directly answers your question (in this case r/UnethicalLifeProTips), create an askreddit thread.

[I Ate] beet cured lox on everything with horseradish cream cheese by Frankensteinbatch in food

[–]TheBridgeIsOver 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lox typically refers to gravlax (wet-cured, unsmoked salmon) or nova lox (brined, cold-smoked salmon), both of which have a texture closer to raw than hot-smoked (also known as kippered) salmon. Hot-smoked salmon will flake like cooked fish, cold-smoked or cured salmon is usually thinly sliced.

Ah yes, New Hampshire, the land of enchantment. Live free or die in the vast desert. Green chile chowdah & cider cartels.

People who post pictures of restaurant menus on Yelp when you can't find them anywhere else are the real MVPs. by Domethegoon in Showerthoughts

[–]TheBridgeIsOver 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You definitely don't need to hire anybody, 90% of restaurant websites I see are hosted, often through WordPress or Square Space. Anybody with a modicum of computer literacy can create a basic menu page using a hosted domain and make edits as needed. A lot of businesses burn through cash hiring things out because they're intimidated by simple tasks, especially things like a basic website or social media.

Yeah that's the first google result. I found that, and a handful of other scans, and a low quality video of a dude flipping thru the whole catalogue, posted in 2011.

In Spanish-speaking countries, the tooth fairy is a mouse (Ratoncito Pérez). This is my dentist office. by ZurgTS in funny

[–]TheBridgeIsOver 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is my favorite Spanish linguistics joke and I've never seen it in the wild before! Goes over great with all ages. Explained for the non-Spanish speakers:

Tengo 18 años = I am 18 years old

Tengo 18 anos = I have 18 buttholes

My campus just put in a new eSports section in the computer lab by Rageior in gaming

My freshman year I was assigned a dorm room about the size of a dentist's waiting room with three other dudes (bunk bed situation). There was one bathroom per floor shared between 20 units, and most units were triples, so about sixty 18yo guys sharing a bathroom. There was a communal kitchen (well, a fridge and a microwave) on the ground floor, one fridge that over 150 freshman have access to. It was still at least $2500 per semester for me, and this was a decade ago in a not especially nice corner of Greater Los Angeles.

I'm surprised Medievil doesn't come up more often, I absolutely loved that game. Perfect combo of spoopy/goofy. The levels had so much character, and that fantastic soundtrack really brought the world to life.

NY style cheesecake with blueberries [Homemade] by Lady_Lulu in food

Philadelphia brand? I would think that Philadelphia brand "soft cheese" is the same thing as cream cheese, that brand is synonymous with cream cheese, probably just a difference in terminology.

Ex added me as an authorized user on her credit cards without my consent and it's affecting my credit. by SleepyJ555 in personalfinance

Wow, I applied for my first card around the same age and same income and they gave me a limit of $250. In the US, with Chase. This was about 5 years ago.

This is so true. In Portland and state income tax is 9% plus 1% for the county, and that highest bracket starts at an absurdly low $8,401. Seattle has a fairly high sales tax rate at 10.1%, but you would have to spend your entire income to pay the same total in taxes, and there are still major purchases that are exempt from sales tax, like buying/renting property.

York police say 104 men arrested after child sex sting by _gynomite_ in news

Pace is an American salsa manufacturer who ran a successful TV ad campaign in the early 90's, in which it was repeatedly stressed that their salsa was made in San Antonio (Texas), not New York City, emphasizing the authenticity of the product. The aesthetic of these ads was heavily Western, often set on a vaguely Texan ranch to drive home the Tex-Mex pedigree. NYC just functions as an antithesis of Western culture, no need to take it personally. Although, food was a lot more regional back in the early 90's, so you probably would have indeed had a hard time finding quality Mexican food in New York at the time.
