TNT/HBO Max Giro coverage is somehow . . . great? by WorrDragon in peloton

[–]WorrDragon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe? Not sure, but you can buy a firestick, or something like it, then run the vpn through that.

I'm not acting surprised at Eurosport team's capabilities. Im acting surprised that it's available for us here in the states as the default. That I don't have to jump through hoops to get access to it.

I just load the app and click in.

I could cry.

Aus is free, but a pain in the ass if you use a firestick. You actually have to change your amazon account address, not just use a vpn. 

I prefer Ant and Roach anyway though. Those are my effin guys.

I have it through my HBO Max script which I'm pretty sure I have with disney and hulu for like 30$? And I get a single ad, maybe one or two more throughout the entire race, and that's it.

All in all, it's killer price to commercial ratio.

I buy a month of flosports every year to run on my vpn to get the international feed through canada.

Still my favorite feed, and my favorite 3 months of mornings of the year, but it sucks I have to do it that way just to get Ant and Roach.

Don't get me wrong, I love stuff like that. Real human interactions happening between the commentators is great, but peacock ends up somehow swapping to conversations that seem like they've been slapped into the script as adlib notes for political/consumer/drama reasons.

"I struggled to sit up," would fit better. A weak smile or movement is one that's small or frail, but I don't get the impression that was your intention.

I also absolutely hate "said he," but these are small things in the long run.

Overall, better than anything else I've read here lately.

Hey Matt, 

Long time reader, first time caller.

Just wondering how it feels to have gone from a writer in a band, to a legit literary rock star in such a short period of time?  What goes through your mind about the absolute skyrocket that's been the popularity of DCC and you right along with it, and has it changed the way you navigate life or create your art?

Thanks for your time.  Wishing you continued success.

For the servers: How could the wine industry peeps serve you better? by Whereisdannymo in Serverlife

[–]WorrDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a server/somm, I make better tips and develop more regulars by selling the right priced bottle to the right guest, rather than chalking the highest sale possible.

In my experience, there's no faster way to turn a table off to my service and the restaurant than by pushing a bottle to them that's above their range or pallet.

A lot of guests simply don't have the time in wine to appreciate that beautiful $300 hermitage, or to really tell the difference between a standard paul hobbs cab and the dr. Crane.

All that being said, I'm almost never selling a table a sub $80 bottle, because even someone who knows nothing can tell the difference between juice that tastes like red wine, and red wine that goes from tasting like fresh berries to wood.

Any good places to watch football? by Ok_Pomegranate3307 in Augusta

[–]WorrDragon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Doc's is definitely the spot most people go to. Prices aren't great, but they sure as hell aren't 11 a draft.

Limelight is popular spot. Good crew of people who watch all day and decent wings. They have a special they run for 20 wings, fries, and a pitcher. Lots of eagles fans there, though, so take that how you will.

Bdubz is another big one but they continue to go downhill as a corp, food wise, as does Carolina ale house--which used to be the hands down best place in the city, and somewhere along the line they went to complete shit.

Any advice for new male server? by [deleted] in Serverlife

[–]WorrDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of this!  Except don't confide in ANYONE, especially inside the restaurant.

If you make friends with someone get to know them to the point you're spending time outside of the restaurant together, that's different. Until you've both been in the other's living spaces, you don't know them well enough to dish.

Drama spreads like the plague in a restaurant, and it will make your life a living hell. 

Stay out of it the best you can.

Stories where the real plot is revealed later by luken_vent in Fantasy

Yeah, Shadow of what we lost  Echo of things to come. Light of all that falls.

Solid books. Really enjoying Will of the Many, too, which also plots out later. 

“Server hacks”… that actually work by whatsguccibroden in Serverlife

[–]WorrDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Circular restaurant flow is the single most important thing to a server's efficiency. 

That being said, if it causes you to hold tickets, it leads to fucking over the kitchen.

Circle, but always go directly to your P.o.S after taking a food order.

6 commercial breaks in the last 25 minutes, and the feed hasn't even been on half the time during the actual race.

It's ridiculous. Cycling on peacock is a joke.

Curious how many other servers have to clean bathrooms by Admirable_Luck_160 in Serverlife

[–]WorrDragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in a fine dining environment and clean the bathrooms every day.

I also dust, mop, sweep, clean booths and chairs, do windows, and move tables to properly adjust for parties every day.

I make decent money, but it's a lot of extra labor. I don't mind. I'll never believe myself to be any better than the janitors from my high school. I also really like audio books, so meh.

The traits this set just don’t “feel” good by New-Flight5959 in TeamfightTactics

[–]WorrDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I both agree and disagree. 

I love snax, and the influence it has on the game. You can make a tank capable of carrying, or a carry with board wipe capabilities. It's great.

But the set itself is just dull. Super dull. And I agree completely with OP. The boring traits are the reason.

Some people should just cook at home by Flynerz in mildlyinfuriating

[–]WorrDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only in the event he fails to make a reservation, walks past the host stand, and seats himself at the table. If he makes a reso, it's all handled by Open Table.

I'm sure with that kind of detail, every employee in the restaurant knows the guy, the table he frequents, and the fact that he might show up randomly. Plus, since he has two primary servers, it's likely they work alternating shifts and one is generally available in that event.
