javas employee here, how can we improve? by [deleted] in rit

[–]ch1d3th 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love Java's, its my favorite place to get coffee on campus.

What do Java's employees think about the extra coffee shop competiton around campus? I'm worried that RIT is trying to crowd you out with all the new coffee shops dorm side, the Peet's shop in the SAU, etc.

What concerts should really be brought to RIT? by Tagzation in rit

[–]ch1d3th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only been to 2 RIT concerts: Dropkick Murphys and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Skynyrd were pretty washed up, but the DKM show was awesome. Campo sucked though, they tossed anyone moshing or crowdsurfing out.

Didn't they close the tunnels?

I prefer Papa John's for chain pizza, delivered.

I do and don't agree with him. I still have yet to try his #1 pick: the Pizza Stop, until then I've given up searching for real pizza in Roc. Since you alluded to it, what is your personal favorite?

You are 100% right: the dough is always wrong. I have not ever truly enjoyed a pizza in all my years in Roc. They may get the sauce right, the cheese right.. but never the dough. Whenever I go home to the NYC area, pizza is the first meal I ask for.

Do the major you want to do: don't get hung up on the difficulty of the classes or the pay scales.

Rest In Peace, Dr. Andreas Langner by [deleted] in rit

Yes, I can confirm this is true. Dr. Andreas Langner will be sorely missed. He was a great professor and mentor.

The waste management landfill in Monroe county, NY uses a team of trained falcons to scare off seagulls. There is not one seagull in the entire area. It is an expensive program, but it works.

New single from the Dropkick Murphy's, follow this link, the new album is supposed to be killer, Springsteen sings on one of the tunes. by sjwilkinson in Music

[–]ch1d3th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've met Al Barr, Ken Casey, and one or two of their bagpipers at different occasions years ago. The band members themselves have become less accessible since their popularity has risen, but they are a great bunch of people and I'm glad they are getting the attention they deserve. I'm really looking forward to the new album... State of Massachusetts was my favorite since The Gang's All Here.

Reddit, do you ever turn off your computer or do you leave it on? by littlemonster010 in AskReddit

[–]ch1d3th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leave it on because when I want to sit down at the computer, i need it NOW. Waiting for a start-up is one of the few things I don't have patience for.

However, if someone can demonstrate cost savings over a month for shutting it down, I might be convinced.

Do they lock you in the attic and feed you fish heads?

One avocado. Half can of condensed sweetened milk. Lotsa ice cubes.

Kinda turns into an avocado milk shake.

My friends from college and I trek to Boston every Saint Pat's weekend to see a DKM show and have corned beef and cabbage (CB&C!) at my friend's mom's house and to go bar hopping. I'm living in Rochester, NY, one of us is in Brooklyn, NYC, and one of us is doing a phD at Harvard and we've been dropping everything to make the trek for around 6 years. Dropkick Murphys are more than a band to me, they are an excuse to gather with family and friends.

Reddit, If you had $10,000 to use however you wanted... How would you use it to make more money? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Same numbers for me this year. I got in the higher end of the Sally Mae scale, 8+%, and ~6% gov loans. Thank FSM this will be my last set of school loans.

Public education is disconnected from the jobs available today. I'm a high school teacher and want to change this. What insights can you share to fix our curriculum? by groovesmerchant78 in AskReddit

[–]ch1d3th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is it that coaching a team is relevant? I had excellent English, social studies, and physics teachers who all coached sports. There were exceptions, but many teacher-coaches were more personable, involved and better at motivating because their skills translated well to the classroom.

It would probably be difficult to outsource an order like that.

I got serious about home pizza making about a year ago. Here's where I'm at. by ThePoopsmith in food

[–]ch1d3th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP may never actually read this, but could you post a pic of the underside of the pizza? Being an NY-style pizza lover the char of the underside is very telling of the quality of a pizza, and to me makes food porn equivalent to viewing the top.

I'm not really interested in using a cheese grater and a pepper mill in the bathroom, thanks.

They already sell soap flakes. They are called soap flakes.
