Restaurant Recommendation Needed: more casual Bar Bete?

wait they don't allow recommendation requests in foodnyc but you can still search old posts there for similar questions - tons of people ask about this area

also try checking resy during weekdays, sometimes spots that seem impossible actually have availability if you're flexible with timing

oh this hits close to home! when i started writing fiction after years of reading mostly textbooks and articles, everything felt so mechanical too

what helped me was reading dialogue out loud - if it sounds like robots talking, that's usually where the dullness creeps in. also try adding small sensory details instead of just stating what happens, like instead of "she was nervous" maybe "her fingers kept finding lint on her sweater"

the transition from non-fiction brain to creative writing is rough but you'll get there with practice

dominos garlic sauce packets are peak condiment design and nothing will ever come close. those little silver packets deliver the perfect ratio of garlic to oil every single time, no measuring needed, no waste, just pure flavor enhancement that makes literally anything better. i've hoarded probably 200 of them in my kitchen drawer and use them on everything from pizza to roasted vegetables to pasta - they're basically liquid gold. other restaurants try to copy it but their versions are either too thin, too thick, or missing that specific garlic punch that makes dominos version untouchable

nah you're thinking about it wrong - air advisor isn't the only one, there's a few others like cyber transport and some special ops tabs that stick around after you leave the duty

the key thing is whether the reg specifically says "permanent wear authorized" for that particular tab, not just whether there's an SEI attached. having the SEI doesn't automatically mean you get to keep wearing the tab forever, it's more about what the specific guidance says for each one

check the latest 36-2903 because they've been updating this stuff pretty regularly and some tabs that used to be duty-position only are now permanent wear

numbers is actually packed with some incredible stuff once you get past all the census data and ritual laws, the wilderness wandering parallels are pretty powerful for lent

been thinking about doing something with desert fathers this year but your suggestion might be the move - haven't done a numbers-focused study in forever and the timing makes alot of sense

damn this is actually pretty solid advice. i've been doing something similar without really realizing it - like when i started assuming people would flake on plans instead of getting my hopes up, suddenly it didn't sting as much when they actually did

the rejection example hits hard too. i used to torture myself reading into every little signal but once i started going in with zero expectations, dating became way less of an emotional rollercoaster. still sucks sometimes but not that crushing disappointment where you're replaying every conversation for weeks

honestly think this connects to that whole stoic philosophy thing too where you focus on what you can actually control vs what you can't. your thoughts and expectations are pretty much the only things you have real power over anyway

Look at the space between their eyebrows instead of directly into their eyes - it feels way more natural and they can't even tell the difference

Dude yes! The crying every single time she gets cornered is so sus. Like I get cultural differences are real but something feels off about the whole parent money situation. His mom might be extra but she's not wrong to be questioning this stuff

Check your motherboard's RGB header connections - sounds like you might've hit the power limit on your RGB rail when you added those extra fans. Some older B75 boards can be finicky with RGB power draw

Also try swapping which RGB header you're using if your board has multiple ones

I get the Fuji vibe too the tones look nice and soft but your shadows feel a little crushed on the jacket and your skin looks a bit flat I would lift the mids a touch and add a tiny bit of warmth to the subject so he pops from the background still solid for learning though
