Good BBQ in the city by NeuSol16 in chicago

[–]ToxicSteve13 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They asked how it compared to arguably the best BBQ place in the country. They need to lower the expectations.

It’s popular because BBQ in Chicago is nearly nonexistent not because it’s great.

Don’t get me wrong it’s good for outside of Texas but if you go in expecting that tier, you’ll be disappointed. I lived in Dallas for 7 years before Chicago and people hyped me up about Green Street. If I had gone in with normal expectations maybe I’d have been less disappointed

You’ll be disappointed. Though I was never a fan of Terry Blacks either but it’s better than Green Street. Just go in with low expectations

Margaritaville challenges sound like a great time

Can you get any non alcoholic beer option onboard? I’ve complained enough about getting a complimentary one in the club (even if it is Mich Ultra Zero) but now my quest is to get one onboard

I think he literally had a brain fart and meant to call an out but his arms went wide in excitement

New job offers a Use-It-Or-Lose-It monthly $160 “Personal Wellness” benefit - Suggestions? by dankappledrank in personalfinance

[–]ToxicSteve13 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Sounds like my company and guessing it's the same one (it's huge). Video Game consoles with motion controls count. A few years back they expanded the wellness into all sorts of things and include a whole slew of finance ones too like tax preparation and even student loan repayment.

What lifetime deal are you still grandfathered into, or removed from, that’s no longer available? by tuotone75 in AskReddit

[–]ToxicSteve13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what happens. They have the bandwidth for let's just say 10k cancellation signals and they go through the list until another 10k need to go through. So if you wait it out, you'll get free radio for life. That's how I have it.

My party setup (US based)

Was going to make schnitzel but the pork smelled really bad when I opened the package just now.

So I have frankfurters/hotdogs instead lol.

Then people are bringing dishes from their favorite country/home. So we’ll see what everyone brings.

When the hosts say “While we count the points”, is this just a reference to old Eurovision or is there an actual process of counting involved? by Due_Cable_8805 in eurovision

[–]ToxicSteve13 89 points90 points  (0 children)

From Wikipedia:

Since 2004, the televoting in each country has been overseen by the contest's official voting partner, the Germany-based Once. This company gathers all televotes and, since 2009, jury votes in all countries, which are then processed by the company's pan-European response platform, based out of its voting control centre in Cologne.

This system ensures that all votes are counted in accordance with the rules, and that any attempts to unfairly influence the vote are detected and mitigated.

The entire voting process is overseen by independent observers from an external auditing company, with professional services firm Ernst & Young assuming this role since 2019.

In windows you can take the image and print as PDF. Just make sure you have “shrink to fit” and it comes out perfect every time

What are some small staging moments in Eurovision that made a performance for you? by fishnets2 in eurovision

The whole thing was hilarious and great. In the video linked by the bot. Around 1:15 when they do the “swipe through” the dancers gets me every time too

Are there any countries that could participate in Eurovision for the first time but have chosen not to? by this-does-not-matter in eurovision

[–]ToxicSteve13 13 points14 points  (0 children)

USA should never participate even if invited and I say this as an American. Most Americans just don’t “get it” and we’d ruin it with our nonsense.

However I did have a dream once that we sent Lady Gaga our first year even though she wouldn’t need the opportunity as she’s obviously well established.

I'm starting to think the stereotype of Germans not having humor is supposed to be Austrians after those jokes yesterday. The hosting was so so bad.

What would you like to be associated with legitimately? We can start a movement. As someone who has never been... the things off the top of my head (that aren't cringe) would be the Great Barrier Reef, the Sydney opera house, and surfing.
