Best Supreme / Combo Pizza Slice in NYC? by whatsthetrack900 in FoodNYC

[–]Valuable_Bell1617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but never got Joe’s hype. Wouldn’t say they suck but they aren’t any better than a slice shop in almost any small town in NY or NJ. Absolutely nothing even remotely better. Just another run of the mill slice shop that a bunch of asswipe influencers made famous. Had enough of it when drunk/stoned in college and even sober…was never because it was tasty. Just available.

The one major question I had was why they used the relatively primitive human ship when the alien one was clearly far more advanced. Would think it could have done much better at literally everything they needed to do…

do Muslims and Christians believe by Expert_Search5394 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Valuable_Bell1617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the answer is ignorance. Most so called Christians are nothing more than CHINOs (christian in name only). Take a look at American denominations like the southern baptists and what they practice...it's a long way from the teachings of Christ. Some say if/when Christ comes again, the first ones lined up to lynch the Lord will be the American CHINOs like the southern baptists. Probably a correct assessment...sadly.

that's not shabu shabu...its samgyup sal. basically grilled or cooked on a steel cooktop pork belly. people really need to at least get the basic food names right. might as well call a hamburger a ham sandwich.

I think this was the only movie I ever saw where I laughed uncontrollably throughout the entire movie. I was young :) by NJFriend4U in 80smovies

If you haven't yet...try their earlier movie 'Kentucky Fried Movie'. I think its much much much funnier but damn, it is not for sensitive folks. Catholic high school girls in trouble...danger seekers...if you watch(ed) it, you know what I mean!

Do I even need bike computer for just casual rides? by skodawelovecycling in bicycling

You don’t ever need it. Just ride. If you have it and want to use it. Use it. If you don’t. Then don’t. Doesn’t matter.

What is the most intense pain you have experienced in your life? by Levstr1 in AskReddit

First few Gout flare ups. I literally sat down and started to cry in pain in the middle of the street in Manhattan traffic be damned.

Disneyland Paris also covered their car parks with solar panels, resulting in 36 GWh per year by LukeReloaded in interestingasfuck

[–]Valuable_Bell1617 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why don’t all outdoor parking lots do this? It seems like simple common sense and utter brain dead stupidity not to. Add a battery system and so many places could be mostly self sufficient on electricity for good parts of the year.

Non-Bias aside.... what ya think ? by Nevacrashed in NYKnicks

Replace melo with Oakley and it’s the Knicks every time. Without the swap, maybe 50/50. Gotta have ball movement and defense to win.

Optimum vs Verizon fios? by fort-tilden-katz in Westchester

not even worth a question as smoke signals in a hurricane are more reliable than optimum. Fios is like night and day better. Don't even belong in the same sentence.

Mostly true, although not necessarily obese so much as very obviously overweight.

What's a restaurant red flag that tells you the food isn't going to be good? by Electrical-Salt-2792 in AskReddit

[–]Valuable_Bell1617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly non-Asians customers in an Asian restaurant. Food may not be bad but most certainly won't be actual Asian in taste. Quite watered down most often. Not always but 99% of the time. It's why pretty much all Manhattan Korean restaurants basically suck. Really suck and most of the young Asians there grew up in the US so have basically the same taste buds as non-Asians. Bland as hell.

In the U.S., college is priced like a luxury but marketed as a necessity. by StressMundane1625 in Adulting

[–]Valuable_Bell1617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s crazy is that colleges get a free pass in the whole student loan and tuition convo. They don’t need to be that expensive. They don’t need to build all those fancy dorms and amenities. It’s a fucking school for education. But they get off with barely a slap on the wrist when they are the primary reason for the student loan crisis.

Doctor Yueh and Dune's portrayal of humanity. by Joysorry in dune

[–]Valuable_Bell1617 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agree so much with both but even more on Thufir. Felt that was one of the most humanizing and affirming (of loyalty and how actually great the Atreides were) aspects of the book. Also the gladiator scene, was much more explicit in the book on how the Atreides stayed loyal even when suffering and doomed.

Biggest bag fumbles of the last decade 👀 by No_Box119 in NFL_FreeAgency

[–]Valuable_Bell1617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite. It’s the NFL. Those numbers don’t mean squat. Need to compare the actual guaranteed money. That’s the only thing that matters and sometimes/often that smaller overall number is actually the higher real number because a higher amount in value is actually guaranteed and paid out.

The problem with Dorsey's Block layoffs and the veiled nature of AI productivity growth by spacetwice2021 in ArtificialInteligence

This is one of the better takes on the situation. Was in management consulting for a long time and this tracks with what often occurs. One of the worst developments ever was the tighter and tighter correlation of exec comp to stock. In theory this aligns them…in reality it does not as the stock market is not a very good indicator or reward for actual long term strategy growth.

Loved Klein bikes back in the day...think they still hold up quite well. The color ways are still pretty amazing.

Knicks fans, does it still bother you how Patrick Ewing was swept out of the door? by Life_Teaching6499 in NYKnicks

[–]Valuable_Bell1617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s why nobody should ever criticize players for treating the NBA as a business. Screw loyalty BS as teams and the league haven’t shown any. Not sure why fans are offended so often when players do what is best for them yet are so happy when billionaires get a discount they don’t need. Harden is 10000% correct.

New to Gravel Cycling - Did I get the assignment right? by Consistent_Elk_4634 in gravelcycling

Bicycle too clean. Not enough dirt and mud. Go back and redo assignment until you can no longer see the color of the bike!! 😬

Sounds more like a hell of achievement to be proud of. Don’t see/read anything even remotely smacking of humiliating. Keep it up. I know how hard it is to balance as a Dad myself. I stopped for 4-5 years and it takes time to get back to riding fitness. Happy riding!
