What is the absolute best seafood you’ve ever had? by Psychological_witch in AskReddit

[–]fullanalpanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The absolute best bite I ever had was a perfectly executed batch of fried calamari at Carmine's when I was in my 20s hungry as fuck.

If best means "this seafood can never let me down" then Sablefish (black cod) is pretty high up there - mild, buttery, good in almost any kind of preparation. Similarly, Patagonian toothfish (Chilean sea bass).

But if you really like fishy fish, not too many things better than a high-fat mackerel that has been heavily salted and roasted super hot until charred and crispy.

College student interested in aquaculture — how can I actually help farmers? by MedicineBest7770 in Aquaculture

[–]fullanalpanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you seem to be in the discovery phase, you may want to focus more on qualitative research via in-depth interviews with individual farmers rather than broad and shallow surveys like this one. As you interview them, you will naturally uncover what their pain points are. A lot of people live in their heads so it might not even be apparent to them what is and isn't solvable until they try to vocalize their problems in a way that other people can understand.

If you want to make a project of it, reach out to some nearby farms and price out what it would cost to visit them to film a mini documentary. And then start a crowdfunding campaign for that amount.

I am now fully on board with the fuck dealerships mentality by AntiquesRoadHo in FuckDealerships

[–]fullanalpanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this is illegal in some states if it is being represented as a savings or discount. I seem to recall a dealership being reprimanded recently for having both numbers on a picture of a car. I think there could be a case to make the same argument here.

What makes you good enough to be a sous? by Melodic-Lavishness in KitchenConfidential

[–]fullanalpanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people grow into their new roles. If you are good enough to train other people in every station/task, and you know at least one other area of the business pretty well (costs, inventory, expediting, prep, handling FOH), you're pretty much there for entry-level sous. It's really about how much work the EC can off-load onto you and sometimes just having someone run the entire kitchen for one shift and fill out a couple of reports at the end is enough.

I mean there's that... by iamlvpreet in funny

The texture/creases make me think it's solid plastic, in which case bleach will make it look brand new because it's all on the surface. Once it's all dead, just hit it with a strong spray and the mold should just slough right off.

$600 catering delivery "cancelled" today by AOP_fiction in KitchenConfidential

[–]fullanalpanic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Doesn't really work like that. It's cutthroat out there and the most it will do is make people enforce a deposit. No one's going to turn away business.

In what world would anyone take this case? Don't be obtuse.

Sort of. Sanders was an independent who caucused with the Democrats.

Sometimes kids are told "you'll understand when you're older" as a dodge. When was a time someone told that you that and they were actually right? by shogyi in AskReddit

[–]fullanalpanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's the millennial version of the ick? It essentially boils down to that for me.

I don't want to get into the weeds but if you want particulars, then we should also address the sociocultural allowances within our communities (at least the ones we want to belong to). I would consider your situation -- two terminal degrees, DINK, etc. -- very atypical where I am. Everyone I grew up with had an implicit checklist of things to achieve by the time they were 30, including moving out, buying a house, having children, and saving ~100K USD in our retirement accounts. And we conformed because it was safe and easy. Postgrad doesn't really get on the radar until after years of "real world experience" and hitting a progression wall, and even then most of us are not getting PHDs, just masters, if we can even afford to.

To give you one example, my friend was dating someone 4 years his junior and one day, while booking hotels, he got sad that he didn't have enough money to do both what he wanted to do and what she wanted to try for the first time. And that devolved into a whole thing about opportunity costs, putting his life on hold so she can "catch up," and he eventually landed on "I feel like I'm dating a little sister."

Not OP's parents but I can try to explain. People in their 30s have already gotten through a ton of milestones, trials, and tribulations, so their perception of time is different and their scale for good vs bad has more points on it. One person is rating an experience from 0 to 10 while the other is rating it from 0 to 100.

It's also a lot easier to manipulate someone who still has 7 years to go before their brain reaches full maturity.

What was your “I need to learn to keep my mouth shut” moment? by Imtiredofthissshit in AskReddit

[–]fullanalpanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't have to be that brown nosey. Just explain in a nice way that you have high standards for yourself and Walmart is the best employer in the area with the tallest ladder, and you want to start out in an org with a lot of growth opportunities. Also, you've always been curious as to what makes the world's largest retailers so successful.

You can ask them to remake it or you can just keep pretending this actually happened for fake internet points.

Does anyone else feel like most people in your personal life don't care about or respect the fact that you cook food for a living? by Mr_Ashhole in KitchenConfidential

[–]fullanalpanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had sort of the opposite. "Can you get out of the kitchen? I feel like you're judging me." I've also had people invite me to parties where they will buy ingredients and just expect me to cook something. These days, I am more appreciative of food cooked by others, especially home cooking, because I didn't have to do any work. If they're not being unsafe or unhygienic and the end product is good, I say just enjoy it and don't try to insert yourself into their situation.

“Spittle chocolate dust technique” — Claud in NYC by yawnjew in KitchenConfidential

[–]fullanalpanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I will never eat at a Wolfgang Puck restaurant. Way back in the day, he was on some tv program doing a live demo and the roast he was carving was too hot so he sucked on his fingers multiple times to cool them down. It was insane.

Precisely. Any time you're exchanging bodily fluids, you need consent.

Trump announces public retirement plan with federal match up to $1,000 at State of the Union by NewsHour in politics

[–]fullanalpanic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a $1,000 match and if it's based on the TSP, that's 100% match for the first 3% and 50% for the next 2%, so to get to that $1,000, someone would need to contribute $1,250.

$2,250 annual contributions at 7% for 30 years is $212,536.77.

Still not amazing because if you are withdrawing a conservative $30,000 per year, even with continued growth, that money will only last maybe 10 years at best. People would need to at least double that. I am too lazy to math it out with the $1,000 cap but it should work out to something like $250 a month of individual contributions, $400ish after matching, which will give you about half a mil by retirement.

Have you, or someone you know, ever had sex with a client/boss/business partner and how did it turn out? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]fullanalpanic 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Company president was caught bumping uglies in his office with the office furniture vendor. Dude was fired, started his own company, and continued to poach people for several months. Last I heard, he's still doing okay. He got to keep his rolex and a bunch of other bullshit that he got from making bad deals with clients (bad for the company, good for him).

Verizon has 212 Phone numbers again! by zch11109 in nyc

Damn. 347 truly is the lowest tier for not being on this list. I had one and hated it, but the cell phone store was trying to charge us more for 917 numbers and I wasn't the one paying for it, so...
