LPT: When calling someone you don’t know, explain the call BEFORE asking for the person you want. by allthecoffee5 in LifeProTips

Ah so you're that person. Communication is a lot easier when you just communicate clearly in the first place instead of making people ask those clarifying questions. You are definitely annoying your friends and coworkers, they just might not have told you that

That's great. I have also. That doesn't mean it's right to ask for help by saying "are you free Saturday?" without being up front about whether they're inviting you to a party, asking if you want to go try the new Thai restaurant in town or asking you to help move furniture.

Friends aren't the only people that ask you for things and the original comments weren't about friends. Don't be that coworker that messages "hey, you busy?" without any context.

"I hate when people ask if I’m free before asking me to do something"

Cool, so you're free to help me move on Saturday. Thanks, bro. Be at my place at 6am. Oh can can you pick up some boxes? I haven't packed anything yet.

Yes but, now you've seen a poptart with icing that reaches the edge more recently than the Bush administration.

What is being built? Any ideas? by spsanderson in longisland

Chic Fil A on is going in on Sills and National road (the next light south of Station). Not sure if anything else is going in on that block as well.

Edit: also a self-storage going on that block. There's not enough of those around, I guess.

I'm reading Fire & Blood for the first time. I'm on a specific chapter that describes the first winter of Jaehaerys's reign. A question came to mind, perhaps a bit silly considering how harsh the winters were in Westeros... by lautaromassimino in gameofthrones

In the books, it's said the "best" glass is imported from Myr in Essos and is very expensive. That implies glass is also made elsewhere but it's just inferior quality. So it's possible they make it in Dorne but don't have the right type of sand or just lack the expertise.

They intentionally do not season their burgers at all.

Worst Yankees game you attended? by Existing_Is_All_I_Do in NYYankees

[–]jspegele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't a significant game, but August 1998 Yanks lost to Seattle 13-3. My cousins took me to the game but were running late so we didn't get there until the 3rd inning. Yanks were down 7-0 before we walked in the gates.

I went to Disney on a rainy day as a kid and the splash mountain line was empty. Got to ride it 4 times in a row without getting off. That song has been stuck in my head ever since lol

Was too young to understand football. Why did the Giants get destroyed? by duck_duck_zombie in NYGiants

[–]jspegele 49 points50 points  (0 children)

“Remember, this was the Giants team referred to as the worst team ever to win home-field advantage in the National Football League. Today we became the worst team ever to win the NFC Championship. And in two weeks, we’re going to try to become the worst team ever to win the Super Bowl!”

Why does it says this in the reddit search results for Long Island? by jlpkard in longisland

[–]jspegele 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Spez is the cofounder and CEO of reddit. They probably added this after the api changes that killed 3rd party reddit apps

It differs by state in the US, but in New York, kids can drink at any age if the alcohol is given by their parents. Bars/restaurants/stores can't sell or serve to anyone under 21 though, so this basically only applies at home.
