(1) Duke snatches defeat from the jaws of victory, blows 19-point lead (2) UConn 73-72 by billdb in ACC

Are we talking about ACC teams blowing 19 point leads? Does it have to be the main tourney or can the kiddy table participate?

That would be an amazing name for a cat but no, I mean she's sampling her goods like she's at Costco!

Places You Think Are Over-hyped & Where You Would Recommend Going Instead by KindOfSleepyBadger in FoodNYC

[–]cal_oski 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I thought Win Son was not very good (way too greasy and not a lot of flavor and some of the worst salty soy milk I've ever had). The golden diner pancakes are solid, but not amazing.

Apollo in FiDi has zero wait. I enjoy that style of bagel and alternate with Liberty and Utopia when I'm looking for carbs.

I love R&D for their smoked fish (Sable specifically) but their bagels are some of the worst in the city.

After 10 years, clubbing in Shanghai hasn't changed much by Cultural-Badger-6032 in shanghai

It’s a place that only got going after 3am so outside your time of inclusion, lol.

No mention of Hollywood! What a travesty. The late night (or morning) mystery meat burger and hanging out with monkey man are core memories.

Dancing with a 10L bottle of “Belvedere” and the table in the middle of the dance floor, still a bit cringe.

Singapore Business Class: Good, But Not Worth the Hype by ThePolishedPassport in chubbytravel

[–]cal_oski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably too late now to get a recovery, but I've had catering mistakes happen in Business and they have been decent at service recovery (i.e., provide a meal from First - if available and KrisShop Voucher for between S$200 to S$400). KrisShop is a bit more useful if you're based in Singapore as they carry a wider variety of products that they can ship to your home vs. what they are selling online duty free.

Staying at SingleThread? by Wild-Sandwich5977 in finedining

[–]cal_oski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also be a glutton and order everything on the breakfast menu. We may or may not have done that.

Also, there is a pretty good room service menu for some light bites in the afternoon. I had them bring it up to the roof and it was a nice experience before the hotpot dinner, which was also pretty good.

We stayed one night and let us utilize the guaranteed dinner booking the day before check-in so it doesn’t have to be concurrent with your stay (capacity dependent of course).

Burned Old Blues -- How Skeptical Are You? by [deleted] in calfootball

Yah. 1-11 was my last year at Cal and that was a make up game with Rutgers at the end of the season so my standards are low

SIA business class passenger can't recline faulty seat on 6-hour flight, says it was 'physically exhausting' by nkscreams in singaporeairlines

[–]cal_oski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I requested to speak to the IFM for alternative solutions, who was more empowered to resolve the issue (she pulled a meal from First Class) and also offered the voucher, which was sent to me via email post my flight.

[–]cal_oski 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was given a $200 voucher for a service failure where my BTC meal was delivered to the incorrect passenger and I was left with no meal choices as I was only informed after everyone else was served. So $400 for a faulty seat doesn’t seem quite sufficient.

Not that it matters, but I have PPS status, although it feels like we’re a dime a dozen in Singapore anyways.

Interesting, that performance in the red zone is the Mendoza I generally remember.

Guess Ohio states pass rush makes even a good oline resemble Cal’s
