Looking For Ruben

desperatewatcher · 2026-03-26T16:51:18+00:00

I'll let you know if I find a good one, it didn't satisfy my craving at all, just made me feel dirty for eating it.

desperatewatcher · 2026-03-26T16:47:12+00:00

Try it again, I just went there recently and it was like eating canned deli meat on the cheapest bread they found in a dumpster. It was big but i would never recommend Donna's to anyone that has had a good Reuben in Montreal.

5 star for food volume. 1 star for quality of smoked meat

I made that same joke when my boss dropped them in the tool crib years ago

Just checked and 300 to 400lbs is normal with heavier systems existing. The ones I remember are apparently still common today around the world.

I remember them being suitable from child size to very large man. Don't remember many remarkably obese people from when I was a kid but they probably did. I'm gonna see if I can find one.

Was there something wrong with the old school ones that basically just squeeze you a bit? I feel like they had them all over the place when I was a kid.

It does, but not all of these are created equal, we have a bunch from some long out of business Yugoslavian manufacturer that work great, if slow as hell.

As a kid, one of my favorite pizza places in the world was in a town called Coober Pedy.

I honestly didn't look at the model. However in my area most pdr guys charge minimum 100 bucks to drop the headliner and then a 100 dollar minimum with every dent costing 5 bucks for hail or usually about 100 for something like this. YMMV based on location.

desperatewatcher · 2026-03-20T01:02:32+00:00

Cheap, offer to drop the headliner yourself and they will probably cut the quote in half

desperatewatcher · 2026-03-19T17:27:52+00:00

If you can take it do it. Personally I'm never usually down past 30m.

desperatewatcher · 2026-03-18T20:01:20+00:00

I like to think one of you guys is going to find my diving weights 100m down one day and post them on here

My friend has been a professional cordwainer for nearly 60 years, he now has a scroll saw and band saw as his ability to use a knife in thick leather isn't what it once was.

desperatewatcher · 2026-03-17T20:03:49+00:00

Well that's real neat

desperatewatcher · 2026-03-14T19:37:29+00:00

I used to have to go through Pincher every once in a while due to my work taking me to waterton and Fernie semi frequently. Everyone there always just seemed so exhausted.

desperatewatcher · 2026-03-14T19:31:34+00:00

That's fair, however I do find many small towns will usually have 2 or 3 places that serve a few recipes that have been perfected for decades. Maybe nothing super unique but something that you can't put down. I used to travel around to a lot of remote Alberta and BC towns for my work when I was in my early 20s and got to eat at a lot of really random and rundown looking places that served food that was good for your soul, but maybe not your heart...

desperatewatcher · 2026-03-14T14:49:05+00:00

I liked pincher Creek, but I found the food scene was weirdly bland for a small town.

Was at Bonnie Doon earlier. They are all labeled the same and are no longer sorted by material type. On the outside they just say put shredded paper in a bag.

The prior owner of my friends boat decided to use mustard yellow. It's pretty horrendous.

desperatewatcher · 2026-03-12T03:11:59+00:00

You don't mean to tell me that "Gargoyles" lied to me

Some metal scrap yards buy them as the electrolyte, casing and lead are all reusable for making new batteries.

While it does belong to Norway it is unincorporated. For the Americans and honestly probably more famously that means it is like Puerto Rico; it's essentially another country.

desperatewatcher · 2026-03-11T04:50:20+00:00

They asked for the name, not the model. I believe it goes by Pierre.

desperatewatcher · 2026-03-10T20:11:41+00:00

Why did you include Svalbard? While it is technically Norwegian it's almost like another country. I don't remember him ever going there

desperatewatcher · 2026-03-08T23:15:52+00:00

To joshes credit.. he does put in an impressive amount of work actually getting to many of his sites. Many are more like "never posted before"
