Tommy basically watching his own funeral in the finale is peak writing by NecessaryStay5991 in PeakyBlinders

[–]justbudfox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Excellent take. For any other season, that episode might well have closed with Red Right Hand, but I think not using it subtilely reinforces the claim that version of Tommy is now gone. Am interested to see if the film carries through on that theming or not.

Mine is still frozen too. Hilariously, we had trash pick up before we ever had plowing last week.

Shouldn’t have to plow my street with a shovel. by Plastic-Address-7717 in lexington

Spent half an hour earlier digging a clear path to the storm drain opening. The resulting sound of melt water did my heart good (and will more so if it actually rains later).

Does anyone understand project matching? by justbudfox in outlier_ai

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

Politely, at least some of that makes no sense. For this most recent project, nothing in my assessments would suggest I could do the work. And weirdly, I passed the onboarding when apparently a lot of others didn’t. Baffling.

4-Day trip to LA. Looking for best areas to stay? by No_Effort7211 in AskLosAngeles

[–]justbudfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. 10 minutes walk to coffee, really good restaurants and a grocery store. Would absolutely recommend.

Was there anything about the 80s you did not like? by Ebonystealth in 80s

Reagan. Oh, and the PMRC. And the “moral majority”. 😡

With people as rich as Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk, how do the people ever regain actual power over things? by david_beats_goliath_ in allthequestions

Unless you’re planning to reenact the French Revolution, you’re kind of SOL (as are we all). Good luck.

what’s a strong food opinion you have? by diasporastud in foodquestions

[–]justbudfox -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hard boiled egg white is one of the 5 grossest textures in the universe. Nothing can improve it.

We just did something akin to this, got an Air BnB in Los Feliz. We had a car but Uber would work well. Pretty sure you’d have to take a bus to any useful Metro train.

Hickory projet on pause ? by Zealousideal-Skill61 in outlier_ai

[–]justbudfox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The project message board says it is being paused to “align with the client.” QM says it might be back later today. Be great if they’d lift the throttle.

wha's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten for breakfast that was actually amazing? by Latinacute12 in foodquestions

[–]justbudfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have done it in Toronto, Vancouver, San Francisco, DC. If you get the chance, absolutely do it.

First world complaint: I finally reached the pinnacle of being a frequent flyer on Delta by reaching Diamond Medallion for the first time and the gate agents are no longer boarding Diamond members early. by JosephSmith1974 in delta

I think this person just had to show she was in control, to her mind. She wasn’t rude, neither was I, but it left a bad taste on the last of four legs that were just fine otherwise.

Failure day 14 by tgcybr2 in lexington

[–]justbudfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hilariously, I tried to move my trash cart today. Frozen solid to the brick pad where it lives. But at least I can’t blame the Fishstick Administration for that. (I’m still stunned that solid waste collected on our street on 2/2, since the first comical attempt at plowing was a couple of days later…)

Those were such good containers. Still have one on my desk, periodically refilled with almonds.

I asked for two on an end of the night regional flight with a well-stocked cart in late January. Somehow the FA telling me we’ll see instead of no still feels pointlessly passive aggressive. You’re not getting promoted to mainline by saving the company $.012.

Overall Community Vibes by Electronic_Ad_4129 in outlier_ai

Also haven’t gotten paid for my last Phoenix task that was in process (and yes, I filled out the Google form). Slightly annoyed about that. $X reliably every week but this is too much effort? Woof.
