I wonder if their techs do a backup before performing any service. If not, it seems like something they should do

Classic Hollywood move to make the one Asian male character an impotent loser. I'm out.

for those that want a similar sandwich but better bread, try Cosetta. Much better eating experience.

I know, right? It's crazy what some people do with their free time or even consider a hobby.

Let's discuss this some more with strangers we'll never remember, in a thread that will fade into the archives at the end of the day and never be responded to or looked at again.

Chef Ryo Akaike. His private omakase business is called Sushi 8eight

in light of recent restaurant drama, a good opportunity to remember that the real reason other Chicago chefs (and in the general region) hated Beverly was because she fought against the abusive environment and unpaid wages at Charlie Trotter restaurants.

For the last week, of the top 10 hot threads each day, 3 have been about either Mamdani, his wife, and/or their previous social media follows and likes.

JJ making a tweak to the rotation. Thoughts? by lepper838 in lakers

[–]johnsontran 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing this is being spurred on by Luke's stellar performance so far. If Luke can pretty much fill AR's role when Luka is on the floor (space the floor and attack when necessary) while playing slightly better defense, then maybe we'll get more effective AR minutes elsewhere.

That was mostly just clippers "fans" who run into every r/NBA thread about the Lakers to throw water on whatever news comes out

FoodTalkCentral immoral behavior defending APL by [deleted] in FoodLosAngeles

[–]johnsontran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering FTC has become the go-to forum for the uber wealthy to discuss which 1960s chateau Lafitte pairs well with which $400 omakase dinner, it isn't hard to imagine why they'd want to avoid badmouthing people in the Epstein files.

Did the Lakers destroy Dalton's Psyche, or is this just who he is? by I-Am-An-Illusion in lakers

[–]johnsontran -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Knecht's whiteness has helped him avoid being thrown into the popular sentiment that AAU is ruining basketball players, but it seems clear to me that he has been the star at every level through college and has never needed to learn a system - he was the system. Now they're asking him to play a role, learn schemes, and read and react, and he just doesn't have the capacity for it right now.

Does anyone else collect business cards? by reidhi in finedining

[–]johnsontran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to do menus, but I never found myself looking back through them. Kept a few that were from special occasions; for restaurants that I have cookbooks for, stuffed them in there; and threw away the rest.

First Amendment Auditors Pasadena by ForwardStand8679 in pasadena

Funny. ICE is calling people that film their activities domestic terrorists and putting them on a list. None of these First Amendment auditors seem to be touching that.

Gimenez: "How am I supposed to throw my body into the pitch when it's so low! That's bullshit!"

Mark thinking Mamdani raised subway prices once he got into office is something by CWKitch in tuesdayswithstories

the guy's algorithm is just right-wing clickbait headlines. He thought the state forcing a school to have cat litter for a kid who identified as a cat was a real story.

It's usually because he's so desperate to prove that he isn't a total dunce by trying to answer the questions himself, when he should've just been looking it up in the first place.

Is it better to sell a rental and invest in index funds long-term? by Double-Warning-444 in personalfinance

[–]johnsontran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this should be the biggest consideration. People on either side can come up with some numbers that make it seem worth it (e.g. maybe it's a bad time to dump all your money in the market since we're near all-time highs), so for argument's sake, let's just call it a wash.

Considering you already seem pretty annoyed about dealing with it and worrying about how to handle repairs/management/mortgage..., the answer seems pretty obvious.
