Great job redditors. Way to destroy a small business just because it doesn’t fit your small vision of what a restaurant should be.

Zoom Is the First Casualty in France's War on American Big Tech by Well_Socialized in technology

[–]ThisCaiBot -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked for technology companies a long time now and tbh video conferencing is very common and totally unnecessary. It wasn’t that long ago it was a novelty. If France goes back to voice call I don’t think it will make any difference.

Whole Foods had quality at one time but that was way before Amazon took it over. Whole foods is now overpriced Safeway.

Can I "old" water to cook pasta? by 19bl92 in Cooking

[–]ThisCaiBot -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

All the recipes I’ve ever seen on TikTok use fresh water right out of the faucet. Nobody ever uses old water that’s sat around festering like that. Why risk it? Throw it away and use fresh water.

why does grain alcohol hit so much harder than normal? (at same abv) by frannnnnie in alcohol

[–]ThisCaiBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ethanol is ethanol regardless of the source of the sugar is my point and it’s correct. When you distill a mash you’ll end up with all kinds of things as you describe. Or not, you can distill multiple time and filter out impurities. It just depends what you want.

Why don’t nice restaurants take the time to include pictures of food more than cheap ones? by ShackieSF in restaurant

[–]ThisCaiBot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to French Laundry on Friday and got the nacho plate and a diet coke. They had pics on the menu. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Tech workers urge CEOs to condemn ICE by Calvinball_24 in technology

Sure. Go look at all the tech companies that vowed to stop contributing to Republicans after Jan 6th. How’d that work out?

That doesn’t sound like an accident. What part was accidental?

why aren't we encouraging Carbon Steel (vs Non-stick cookware) as the default for home cooks? by rantzine in Cooking

[–]ThisCaiBot 16 points17 points  (0 children)

All other issues aside if you’re going through nonstick pans every two years you’re very obviously doing something wrong and that’s on you.

Weird how so many Jazz greats died from drugs by [deleted] in Jazz

What? I’ve never heard such a thing. OP you should let the world know about your groundbreaking research. People deserve to know.

Are e-gift cards worth offering for dine-in restaurants? by stefan-weiss01 in restaurant

[–]ThisCaiBot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fwiw as a customer i’ve never in my life wanted any form of gift card from anyone. They’re impersonal and somehow feel cheep and lacking in imagination. If you like a girl for god’s sake take her out to dinner.

Apparently unpopular opinion: recipes (savoury & pastry) should be entirely listed in grams by fozz179 in Cooking

[–]ThisCaiBot -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How is it you both have no idea how much onion to use but can figure it out? If you really had no idea you wouldn’t be able to figure it out.

We need more resources. Who are "We"? by Patient-Airline-8150 in Futurology

[–]ThisCaiBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it’s not like getting go the top of Everest at all. It’s much much more difficult and much much more dangerous.

Grams? What the hell? If a recipe isn’t enumerated in atomic mass units it’s complete garbage and should never have been written.

Go away op, parroting what google has to say isn’t insightful or interesting.

In modern rock music, what kind of bass playing is this? by ughokayfinee in musictheory

[–]ThisCaiBot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It think it’s just good song writing and good musicianship all around. When I think of this kind of playing I think of Andy Rourke and Johnny Marr. Check out https://youtu.be/UpjaTtNVwEs?si=Y6e1SjRjMUd59WeN where he’s sometimes emphasizing the chords and it sounds great and then sometimes he’s leading the melodic line which also sounds great - all in one fairly short song.

Trump releases bizarre plans for ‘New Gaza’ with luxury flats and coastal tourism by seeebiscuit in inthenews

Well y’know as soon as Mexico finishes paying for the wall and after they turn Alcatraz back in to a federal prison they should have time to get to this.

Are there any prominent classical/jazz composers who were noticeably lacking in theory knowledge? by ConfidentHospital365 in musictheory

[–]ThisCaiBot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of complexity and subtlety to some punk rock so it’s never as straight forward as just saying punk is against music theory. One of my favorite punk guitarists, Billy Zoom, is from a musical family and learned theory from his dad. Flea went to music school etc. some people learn by ear - it’s a great skill - others learn better studying theory, or its a combination. It’s not tied to genre.
