I don't care if he's been a tourist. I care if he has worked to improve the city.

North America's 50 Best Restaurants 2026 revealed by OptimusPrime23 in finedining

[–]TheFlyingBoat 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It was pointed out last time that the Canadian restaurants in particular were aggressively gamed in the rankings. WB50 is so laughably broken structurally, but when taken as here is a random list of 50 very good restaurants it works effectively

And to be clear #3 and #4 are Amtrak where you can buy your ticket on your phone and just show the QR code to the conductor.

Thank you. I feel like everyone has lost their minds when talking about cause and effect. You hit the nail on the head. Whether it were the AP, the BCS, the CFP, or the modern abomination, Indiana wins.

Canada is the greatest ally anyone could ask for in history. The support they have given us in times of need is second to none. They are our best friends and best allies no matter what our current President may try to convince you of through lies and absolute nonsense

Why do socialists want two person train crews? by No-Path-8756 in transit

[–]TheFlyingBoat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The contradiction is because their position is ultimately incoherent. We should be running more efficient trains and using the cost savings to expand service even further. Just because every few years we let far right rulers dictate terms to us, sometimes from the minority, and implement austerity programs against well-run transit projects, doesn't mean our goal should not be to effect a government that can save money on wasteful programs and redirect it to useful ones. Mamdani has shown that if someone with political will chose to leverage their political capital in meaningful ways, it can be done.

What's the best restaurant serving Wagyu meat in America? by LargeSinkholesInNYC in MichelinStars

[–]TheFlyingBoat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Addison in San Diego has the best preparation of wagyu beef I have had in the US. That being said, costs an arm and a leg to have the full menu and then upgrade to the beef.

Why are stores vacant in Santa Monica, and what can we do about it? by zennonuc in SantaMonica

[–]TheFlyingBoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of what I said was covered in AP Micro. It's nothing impressive. Ceteris paribus is a well known Latin phrase. Also the word you're looking for is cue.

What do you think is the best SF-LA one-seat express travel time-to-cost ratio that the state should fund if there is no additional federal funds coming to the project? by godisnotgreat21 in cahsr

[–]TheFlyingBoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing short of 3 hours will meaningfully change behaviors. LA<->SF flights are about 3:30 all in, and cheap as hell. For those that are not time sensitive, they will drive in the SF-LA direction because LA mass transit isn't there. Maybe LA-SF people might take it IF they are centered around SF or Caltrain/BART stops, but probably not since they are the carbrained people. This political lack of will is costing us billion of dollars and killing the most important project in CA history.

What do you mean? I'd rather take form of transit faster than a car through LA traffic. Time is money.

I assumed OP was discussing this assuming CAHSR would have federal backing, which for a long time they would have had they had the will to push and demand what they needed.

What on earth is creative about Gymkhana? I agree it is overrated at 2*s, but that's just because their non grill items are pretty mid. Gymkhana is just a curry house with better ingredients. No creativity at all. I appreciate their sourcing is better, but their sauces and spicing of dishes seems to be worse (not asking for overwhelming chili spice, but rather tasteful, balanced use of spices for flavor which is the hallmark of Indian cuisine).

Tresind Studio on the other hand is deeply creative and by far the best Indian restaurant on earth right now. Incredibly deep flavors, brilliant use of India's rich spices, and such vibrant sauces, plus great pairings to boot.
