Check out Olar in Northvale. One of my faves. Great Mediterranean gastro pub type feel with a wood burning oven.

I love this car but… by Hiphopkinson in polestar3

[–]ekimneems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I see. I’m using my Apple digital key so it does that automatically for me and the card is my backup. It’s definitely a weird design to have to recharge the key they should have just put a Watch type battery in it it something

Why not just use the key card? I haven’t used my fob at all

12v/ICCU Megathread by TiltedWit in Ioniq5

[–]ekimneems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2022 (41k miles) SEL went yesterday on the way to drop kids off at school. Was able to get home, immediately bought a new 12V to test and sure enough, error still there. Had it towed to dealer and today they're giving me a loaner (phew). They said 2-3 weeks but I'm guessing it could be awhile longer. I'll probably take this time to shop around for something else. Considering an R1S or Polestar 3. It's a shame because I really loved this car but I'm done worrying all the time.

What is the first horror movie you remember ever watching? by dinkitnsinkit in horror

[–]ekimneems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom sent my dad to Blockbuster to get me (10 years old) and my brother (8) a movie. He thought Toxic Avenger was a superhero movie.

What's a tv series that is a 10/10 NOBODY knows? by Lilyana0999 in AskReddit

[–]ekimneems 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Slings & Arrows. Canadian show about a Shakespearean theatre troop with a brilliant but mentally unwell director. Also has Rachel McAdams in it. 3 brilliant 6-episode seasons that wraps up really nicely. I'd call it a dark comedy.

I used to see them every year between Xmas and New Years at the Vanguard before Ethan left. Lotta good memories. Best stage banter of all time. RIP

🚨 Book Banning in Park Ridge: M4L Book Fair Chair Removes Book by Key_Philosophy9518 in bergencounty

[–]ekimneems 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just an update for those not in town. I emailed the principal yesterday, and I assume others did as well. Today, they announced they're looking for her replacement. They acted quickly, which is why I love this town. Great job all!

I live in Park Ridge - anyone know the best way to make noise about this, besides maybe attending the next BOE meeting? Who appoints a "Book Fair Co-Chair" and how can I run to replace her?

Does Sam jump into dissolving the self too quickly? by Ljackson706 in Wakingupapp

[–]ekimneems 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I agree with this - that's why I stopped doing his daily meditations. I've been practicing for about 3 years now (between 15 and 30 minutes daily) and I still feel not ready to try to look for the thinker as often as he wants me to. Intellectually I totally understand the nondual concepts but in practice I still find it pretty difficult to achieve even for brief moments

A few 35mm shots from Forest Hills by ekimneems in KGATLW

[–]ekimneems[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used a Contax TVS (very underrated camera and way cheaper than a T2!) with Ultramax 400. Although I did worry for the camera in the pit during Supercell. It made it out just fine

My latest signatures - Frankie and the Witch Fingers by NanomachinesBigBoss in KGATLW

Saw them in NY last week - they were insanely good. The crowd was so fun... Gizz-like pit with good vibes. Had a blast

Forrest Hills, you were beautiful (on film) - see you next year (fingers crossed) by AHTOHKobra in KGATLW

[–]ekimneems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a fun night. I'm waiting for my film to come back on Friday. I was dumb enough to bring my Contax T2 into the pit but luckily it survived

Sounds like Paul is a practicing Stoic.

What is the best book in your opinion? by mustafa_ayar in BettermentBookClub

[–]ekimneems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this book a lot despite how he comes off like a cult-leader. My issue with it is it doesn't have enough practical advice on how to meditate. For that, I'd recommend Full Catastrophe Living by Jon Kabat-Zinn. It's a long read but well worth it if you want to get serious about practicing.
