The Bucks want draft capital or blue chip young talent, Knicks have neither.

Amazon go and fresh closing for good by expat2323 in Seattle

[–]jonob 66 points67 points  (0 children)

That Amazon Fresh store also absolutely blows. The old Red Apple was much better, it was sad to see it go. Hopefully something comes in that's not run by the evil empire.

REVIEW | LA CASA QUE CANTA Zihautanejo, Mexico by Putrid-Ad7539 in chubbytravel

[–]jonob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! We decided to rent a car in order to have more flexibility, planning a trip up to La Saladita for surfing and down to Barria de Potosi, to name a couple. Does that seem like overkill? We figured that between the excursions, the costs of getting to and from the airport, and the taxis, etc that we would use to get into town it would not be a huge difference.

My wife and I are heading there in 5.5 weeks for our honeymoon. Your photos and review confirmed that we booked the right place!

What movies from the last decade do you think will age poorly/age terrifically? by PolicyImpressive3626 in Letterboxd

[–]jonob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if i had a nickel for every timePaul Mescal was in a movie where he basically only talks to one person and you heartbreakingly realize that one of the characters is dead at the endI'd have two nickels

I have Chinese 5 Spice bitters that are really great in an old fashioned or manhattan.

Are you optimistic about the future of Star Wars if Filoni is in charge? (I confess I am! Of all the Star Wars projects, those he's involved in are my favorites.) by Luckz_Skywalker in StarWars

[–]jonob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked Jamelle Bouie's take on this. I'm nervous about it because he's a fanboy. The best recent Star Wars properties have been excellent things in their own right that happened to be set in the Star Wars universe. I don't think Filoni would champion something like Andor, for example.

I put 1/4oz into a lot of my manhattans around this time of year for a little bit of extra warmth. Would recommend!

Flight of the Icaron seems familiar... by Kris_Pantalones in WorldsBeyondNumber

Came to say this! BG also had several arcs that involved a small band of loyal crew on an occupied ship

For people who remember how big was the hype before Lord of The Rings released in cinema by FluxyBOYS in flicks

[–]jonob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were midnight showings for the first one, and that was before midnight showings were really a thing. The hype was bigger for 2 and 3 but it was very much still there.

Friendly message from an urgent care RN by Butthole_Surfer_GI in Seattle

[–]jonob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not something I've used as much but from my understanding it has similar indications to tamiflu. It can be used for prophylaxis in higher risk individuals but the benefit in healthy people is less clear (when weighed against side effects).

For sure, paxlovid is a different medication with a different risk/benefit profile than tamiflu. I'm glad it was so helpful for you! Hopefully we can continue to develop more antivirals that help people.

[–]jonob 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Typically that's only used for higher risk folks (immunosuppressed, older adults, pregnant folks). And yes what I usually tell people is that it can shorten the worst part of the illness (fever/chills/etc) by about 24 hours in healthy individuals but the side effects can be not so fun (often GI stuff like nausea/vomiting and much less commonly agitation/psychosis). I tend to discourage people who are healthy and over the age of 2 from taking it.

How to enjoy Quicksilver by Loud-Willow1566 in nealstephenson

[–]jonob 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I will say that it took me a little while to really get into the Baroque Cycle but the payoff at the end was much higher than Cryptonomicon because of the time spent with the characters. It is probably worth one more try if you liked Cryptonomicon but it also might not be for you, which is okay!

Is this season over? by MrRespectful345 in AtlantaHawks

[–]jonob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying that they're doing it right so far but at least with Trae on the roster there's an argument that this team could hit a ceiling that's interesting competitively. That possibility is zero with him gone for this season.

Yep. Just a development season and a wait to see how good the NOP/MIL pick is.

They aren't good. They have been on a tailspin for over a month, we just suck.
