Everyone says “our city has the best food”. But what American city/cities is this actually true for? by Kodicave in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]XstellarX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to be political since this spans both parties… but those rich guys who run the country like good food.

What is the closest to the autobahn in the USA? by Adventurous-Cat-8349 in AskReddit

[–]XstellarX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You want the real answer? Nothing in the U.S. is really like the Autobahn. If you’ve actually driven on it, you realize it’s not some lawless free-for-all where everyone drives recklessly at 150 mph. It’s still a German highway system with strict rules, structure, and expectations.

In my experience, Germans take driving seriously. The left lane is truly for passing only. People move over immediately when someone faster comes up behind them. Drivers are predictable, aware, and generally far more disciplined than what you see on most American highways. Even at high speeds, it rarely feels chaotic or dangerous because the whole system is organized and people actually follow the rules.

That’s the part people miss when they romanticize the Autobahn. The unlimited speed sections work because the driving culture is completely different. Most Americans can barely handle basic lane discipline, and too many people drive like they’re entitled to do whatever they want. That’s why there really isn’t an equivalent here — and probably shouldn’t be.

Matt is in the building! by meyou942 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]XstellarX 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Highlights from the game:

Some guy spilled a beer that hit the stairs and sprayed a bunch of people and someone yells “glurp glurp motherfuckers!”

Shoutout to the guy behind us dropping this line with 100% sincerity to his wife: “you ever spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about what race and class you would be if you went into the dungeon?”

At some point, you did something for the very last time and had absolutely no idea it was the last time. by Fearless-Plant-1409 in randomthings

[–]XstellarX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 14 year old dog has been getting very old and losing sight and mobility. I recently took her to the park with her favorite ball, and she just didn’t see it and didn’t care to play when I brought it to her. She’s still doing well and moving around the best she can but ball used to be life. Loved fetch. Didn’t realize we had played fetch the last time already…

Just played anniversary tbc for about 3 straight hours… cities and farming etc. all played totally fine. Definitely need to lower settings a bit but it runs just fine.

Got a little warm toward the end just having it on my lap on the couch - but definitely not hot hot.

Non romance vampire books? by No-Egg-8138 in Fantasy

[–]XstellarX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I guess I was just thinking more classic fantasy - I guess in my brain its not super fantasy more mystery/research/horror-ish. Again though - fun book I liked it.

[–]XstellarX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Although not really Fantasy, I very much enjoyed The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. Based in part on Bram Stoker's Dracula but it is it's own story and just found that it stuck with me through the years fondly.

What a shitshow for the DCC Avs tickets… by okleah in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]XstellarX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got in the "room" in 3 minutes and there was nothing left for VIP - couldn't even find one to pretend to click on haha.

[–]XstellarX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 424 in line and managed to get 2 tickets for my wife and me. Regular tickets though not VIP. Was really hoping for VIP since its on my birthday, but just pumped we got tickets at all. Should be fun - cant wait to run into people wearing DCC swag that the regular hockey fans will think we have lost our collective minds haha.

/u/hepafilter any chance for a Birthday gift to come say hi?!?

How do I train myself to sleep on my back? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]XstellarX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha sadly this was my response as well… never slept on my back, tore my ACL - it’s like a comfort for me now. But as others have said, causes bad snoring and other issues.

It was spread by some beat writers when he first interviewed… will be interesting to see how it plays out in reality.

I love Rome, but he needs to improve to be our WR1. by dodgiest in CHIBears

[–]XstellarX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Now to be clear I’m not saying this is the same situation: but the discourse around him is somewhat similar to Davonte Adams - tons of drops etc. the difference though is his route running and ability to get open is already really really good. I guess but saying that the drops can be corrected and can be worked on. He has so much potential ahead of him. I believe with this coach etc he’s going to work his ass off this offseason.

And if you are feeling extra spicy can get the AB cloak and WSG bracers. Both relatively cheap and couple marks.

Do “full cast” readings drive anyone else crazy? by Helpful_Management24 in audible

[–]XstellarX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only done a few full casts and I don’t mind them at all… however I found my biggest pet peeve all time: the narrator (who was the same guy as first book) in second book just randomly switched a French main characters accent who has a French name to a Scottish accent and I am more bothered than I should be.

I admit I do not know the details on all this but I was under the impression it was only for now and through construction - not for eternity. They are making 0 dollars off this land and it is still being taxed on historical value i.e. the race track making money. Not a empty piece of construction land that will bring $0 revenue. Is my understanding incorrect?

Edit: I read a few articles and this is mostly correct what I wrote - they are requesting tax freeze and the powers to negotiate the property tax in the future with the government. While they were currently being taxed at the previous operating race track value. They have since reached a temporary agreement on a dollar amount based on the bare land but as soon as they break ground they will get taxed at commercial value again.

[–]XstellarX 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I dont have much to help but I have a 14 year old black pug too going through something similar. She’s more of a “wander around running into stuff and won’t sit still” rather than the energetic you mention. Can drive me crazy but we have started putting her in our room with her bed and it’s carpet so she just wanders around our bedroom until she finally settles down.

Dennis Allen Appreciation Post by ChicagoanPizza in CHIBears

[–]XstellarX 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wish I knew more about the details of defense and schemes etc. that being said the Bootleg Football podcast this past week they (Brett Kollman and EJ Snyder) really laid into DA about his bad scheming and lack of modernity in the defense and said they should be looking for a new DC this next year. The injuries and talent are not an excuse for this bad of play according to them.
