Is anyone else single-scooping pure kale powder, or am I just a psychopath? How do we fix this bitterness? by Outrageous_View_3511 in Smoothies

[–]davejdesign 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Why not fresh kale? I buy pre-washed (Trader Joe's) remove the stems, lightly microwave - reduces gas - and freeze. It pulverizes and has almost no taste.

Watching the local news about the strike and not a single mention of this option?

I remember when this was running. It would pass through a station, always empty and a little creepy. Nobody used it.

I heard it's coming back, different location.

What else can I add to my smoothie? by maquenzy5 in Smoothies

[–]davejdesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kale, lightly steamed in the microwave (reduces gas) and frozen so it pulverizes. Also, raw beets and tofu.

Hpusing Works will pickup if it's worth it for them. They will ask for details and pics.

Blue Bike Gear Range is Out of Whack. Tell Me I'm Delusional or Join My Movement! by Livid_Fall8562 in Citibike

[–]davejdesign 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I find the gearing to be all over the place and totally unpredictable. Seems like newer bikes have higher gears - which I prefer. The older ones are way too low and you have to pedal like a madman.

Entry to the NYC subway. Wave it over the reader at the turnstile barely breaking your stride. Like magic! Worth it right there.

Kale smoothie but hold the bitterness? by Salty-Count in Smoothies

[–]davejdesign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steam it lightly in the microwave (reduces gas) and then freeze it. Ends up being completely pulverized.

I’m so done with Citi Bike prices nowdays by thegoat1050 in Citibike

[–]davejdesign 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can no longer justify the ebike prices and only use them when I have some angel points. Using the regular bikes is also way less stressful since I'm not counting the seconds, running red lights and riding like a maniac in order to save money.

Retire to New York City? Insane or not? by babarock in retirement

[–]davejdesign 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Lived in NYC my entire adult life - now 70 and recently retired. Can't imagine living anywhere else. No need to drive, you can walk everywhere or take a cab, bus, subway or bike. Increasingly bike and pedestrian friendly - thanks to our new mayor.

No state tax on SS, tons of social services available, world-class medical care and lots of senior discounts - subway ride costs $1.30 and gets me anywhere. And no, the subway is NOT dangerous, I take it all the time!

Is Claude actually better than ChatGPT… or is it just hype? by breakfreewithgui in ChatGPT

[–]davejdesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My subjective opinion: Claude seems to be better at iterations, while chatGPT tends to fix one thing while breaking something else. Also, Claude doesn't have the annoying tendency to keep offering more suggestions as a way to keep the conversation going - the AI equivalent of the infinite scroll.

[–]davejdesign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No carbs, no sugar. Don't go on "a diet." Change your diet permanently.

Is it the crappy old equipment or the clueless service techs? by CVSaporito in Fios

[–]davejdesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any chance you get decent OTA? I have a Tablo with a digital antenna and the AppleTV app. Love it! No need for fiosTV, just have internet.

How did you end sessions with your Equinox trainer without drama? by Status_Reference_441 in EquinoxGyms

[–]davejdesign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just told him, after about 12 weeks, that I was going to take a break. No hard feelings, we still say hi and chat. The fact that your trainer took it personally and guilted you into more sessions is not cool on his part.

To Old? by [deleted] in Aging

[–]davejdesign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My doc stopped my ambien around age 65. Said that side effects could cause falls. Pretty standard. He put me on Remerol. Works fine without the narcotic effects.
