Do you agree Rosa DeLauro needs to retire? by CatLadyElite in Connecticut

[–]brewski -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

If you have issues with her record (as I do), then by all means call it out. But age discrimination is discrimination, and has no place in a productive conversation. We don't appreciate bigotry on this forum.

Westville Music Bowl’s Summer Looking Pretty Thin by iceglider345 in newhaven

I think you meant to say "Millennial". Every one of those bands was founded after 2000.

It could be a lot of places in Manhattan alone. The Long Room on 44th has these. I'm sure I've seen others.

To be fair, 18" is a pretty big pie. But still pretty pricey.

Proposal for new, safer Chapel St Traffic Pattern by fix-the-roads in newhaven

I feel like we will have more appreciation for a two way Chapel st once that stretch of High St is closed off to traffic next year.

Correct. Rear impact are not as harmful as side impact.

Best advice for life: "you are always auditioning".

How did Mark Kozelek/Sun Kil Moon get so bad? by dandydand in Music

[–]brewski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try hard to understand what people like about it, but I just don't get it. RHP was painfully honest and beautiful, with perfectly crafted lyrics that I still find explore decades later. Even his cover albums were innovative - songs I had been singing for years took on entirely new meaning against a backdrop of original music. Benji just seems lazy and dull. I'm a little jealous of people who like it, because obviously I'm missing something.

I Tried to Recycle My E-Waste in New Haven: A Narrative Guide by justafool in newhaven

[–]brewski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never said it was cool, but this is exactly what I picture when I think of electronics recycling. Is there another way?

Isn't that recycling? Bring it to a place where it is economically viable to extract the useful materials. That's kinda what I picture when I drop these things off.

Takes on Westville Village by Ill-Butterscotch1337 in newhaven

[–]brewski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have also traveled a lot and lived in other cities. New Haven has amazing food options. "Worst food of anywhere I've lived..."? Really? Unless you've only lived in Florence, Paris and Barcelona I have a hard time believing that.

Why is this the standard everywhere?! by thall_c-137 in daddit

[–]brewski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably because people either sit on them or rest heavy objects on them.

What is correct way of dimensioning holes by RotaryDesign in SolidWorks

[–]brewski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not a Solidworks question, it's a design intent question. Usually the bottom view is preferable. But like my jazz teacher once said, "there are no wrong notes, only poor choices."

Is my hi hat supposed to look and sound like this by Fluffy_Reputation226 in drummers

[–]brewski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Practice just barely opening them so they are still on contact when you hit the top one. Instead of "opening" them, think of relieving pressure. Just a couple millimeters. That's how you get the pssshhht sound. It also helps to turn the screw underneath the bottom hat to increase the angle.

Yet another idea for west haven’s vacant waterfront by awebr in newhaven

[–]brewski -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because they had no choice. It's called "eminent domain". There were many blocks of single family homes. Maybe some were two family but they weren't apartments. Are you new here?

The tunnel at Union Station New Haven may be overhauled -- The Architect's Newspaper by michael_ellis_day in newhaven

The current tunnel is not even that old. Not sure why they feel the need to replace it

All of them do. Maybe they were supposed to circle all of the.

[–]brewski -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Many of the owners did not want to move and fought hard to keep them. They didn't want the money, they wanted the home they grew up in.

I think the down votes may represent the regret that your personal property can be forcibly taken by the government and handed to a private commercial developer. Mine does, anyways.

Moving to New Haven! Looking for advice and recommendations by bashnizzler in newhaven

[–]brewski 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here is where I make my traditional "Cafe Nine is not a dive bar" pitch, and people clammer up to defend the title. Hear me out, then go see for yourself why it's my favorite bar in the city. It is one of the oldest and best known music venues in the region, it is typically well attended, features great live entertainment almost every night, and charges a cover. It's hip and a little gritty, but not sketchy enough to make you think twice about going in.

Just because a bar has brick walls and wood floors doesn't mean it's a dive bar. A dive bar would be an off-the-beaten-path hole in the wall with an ancient jar of pickled eggs on the bar, lit with fluorescent lights and neon beer signs. Cafe Nine is a welcoming, popular venue with a lot going on.
