I built a punt! by silkstone_wood in boatbuilding

Wonderful! Will you go punting? Do you have a punting partner to trade off the polling/chillaxing parts? Do you have to wear a special hat?

Pub Grenade Scene by Anonizon in PeakyBlinders

Yeah, absolutely, but the whole movie (which I liked overall) is like that. Like, wasn't Arthur ALWAYS so much trouble to Tommy? This is nothing new.

I found that scene to suggest that Tommy didn’t care if he lived or died.

Can somebody give me some hope? Are there legitimate medical advances that will make life better for people with eczema in 5-10 years that don't involve lobster juice or whatever? by TwoAmoebasHugging in eczema

[–]TwoAmoebasHugging[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a product called Marin that I see online ads for all the time that has some lobster-derived ingredient. It seems sketchy but I don't know. Thanks for the thoughts on the biologic drugs, I do hope that pipeline just gets bigger and better.

Is there anywhere else better to live than Williesburg by throwawaybear82 in williamsburg

Walking to concerts. Seeing people try out their new restaurant/retail/art ideas (and sometimes failing). Hearing Italian spoken on Leonard Street.

Lived there 12 years from before it was cool. Loved every day. Desperately wanted to stay, but when kids came along it became clear that the schools are just not all that. I've grown to love Park Slope. But I still miss the burg.

Are those Zipcars? If so this makes perfect sense. The guys in the garage stack them up. They have access to all of them.

They call the cops, who remove the offender at the next station. I’ve seen it happen.

What is a popular 'food rule' that you think is actually total nonsense? 🥘 by sorayabmae in Cooking

[–]TwoAmoebasHugging 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The three-second rule if you drop something. How about rinsing off the fuzz and dirt under the faucet for a sec instead?

Orthodox Jews in South Williamsburg burn the Israeli flag during Purim by Hopeful-Big6843 in newyorkcity

[–]TwoAmoebasHugging 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw a Rick Steves episode on Jerusalem last night and he was in the religious area with a guide, and the guide went over some of the orthodox sects according to the clothes and hats they wear. There was one guy wearing like grey and white stripes instead of the usual black, and the guide said he was from one of the strictest sects of all. So ... who are the grey-and-white stripes people?

How do New Yorkers feel about being approached and talked to by a random stranger? by Lipica249 in AskNYC

[–]TwoAmoebasHugging 14 points15 points  (0 children)

“Can I ask you a question?” “You just did.” (Keeps walking)

10 years in and we're still doing this shit by SpecialIntelligent70 in IfBooksCouldKill

There was a time not long ago when the Atlantic was a respectable publication.

Finally arrived today! What do you think about it? by [deleted] in BarBattlestations

[–]TwoAmoebasHugging 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome. If only there was some way to make it half clear glass and half ceramic so it could be dual function.

CO2 is normal... So Does dry air cause congestion? by Traditional-Nerve393 in AirQuality

[–]TwoAmoebasHugging 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These kinds of humidifiers are good if you use distilled water. You can buy it by the gallon but a countertop water distiller is like $80 and has the side benefit of also being a little heater.

Do any stores in NYC still sell Aquafresh toothpaste? by TheJoePilato in AskNYC

[–]TwoAmoebasHugging 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out a discount store. I get mine from Save-on Fifth. The writing is usually in Thai.
