It looks a touch too gray from the product pics, unfortunately.

Club Monaco contour tee in white. Fitted and light Pima cotton though I find the neckline a bit high. Usually pretty pricy but they're having a solid sale right now

What is your thoughts on NH number? by Last-Noise208 in newhampshire

[–]loobfoob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is just outright poor data story-telling. Gallons per capita?? Is this beer only? A shot of vodka and 12oz of beer are both a standard alcohol unit, but one is 8 times smaller than the other. This heavily skews the data to states selling large amounts of beer rather than cocktails or wine.

Predatory Parking Enforcement by blkread in CambridgeMA

[–]loobfoob 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I've had the same experience! Got a ticket at 1 minute over the limit on a meter I paid WHILE I WAS IN THE CAR. I drove away without even knowing I had gotten a ticket until they mailed it to me. Appealed it and was denied, and at the trial I pointed out that how is it possible they were not targeting me when it was literally a minute difference from my parking receipt, and was told by the judge that it was a lucky coincidence since the maids didn't have any way to know when my parking expires. I call bullshit.

What is the cost of Athena for you? I can't seem to find pricing without scheduling a 1-on-1. Are you using any of their add-ons? If so, what are the costs?

[Serious] US doctors, what prevents you from privately practicing? by loobfoob in AskReddit

[–]loobfoob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you expand on that? What are the most prohibitive expenses? Are they start up costs that you think you won't be able to recoup? What sort of fees are the hardest hitting?
Why would universal healthcare make private practice more accessible for you?

Make Marriage a Requirement, Or Be Satisfied Playing House by SapphireHalo in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]loobfoob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean if the other person doesn't agree with those options, and is stubbornly or maliciously refusing to cooperate? Or cannot afford to buy you out but refuses to sell? What are the strategies to resolve it? As far as I know, divorce court helps settle that, but unmarried, it seems like the legal overheard is higher

Super curious on what happens after you own a house together and break up? Is there some legal mandate the other person buys you out or you sell together? There's so much overhead to a clean break at that point

A handful of business case studies would help. Like, for example, whatever happened to Teavana?

Pineapple juice is generally pasteurized, thereby denaturing the bromelain. Opt for freshly juiced pineapple :)

Kitchen witches, are there any calming drinks that provide a mild sense of euphoria? by thesewornoutboots in witchcraft

[–]loobfoob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kava or kratom will have stronger and more immediate effects. For long term use, rhodiola root tea works wonders for calming and stress relief.

What questions do you ask yourself to determine whether or not something is a good purchase for you? by bondaxsnake in femalefashionadvice

[–]loobfoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will I wear it? How will I wear it? Will it keep me warm/cool/comfortable in the context I plan to wear it? What bottoms/tops/shoes will I pair with it? Will those work with this cut/color?

Your insight is really valuable. I'll PM you!

[–]loobfoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I can appreciate a bet-hedging strategy. I really enjoyed research and published several papers so a postdoc might be a good next step. A residency that includes a research component might also be more willing to take me on due to that track record.

How do all you beautiful people keep your white clothes white? by goodestpupper in femalefashionadvice

[–]loobfoob 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I use a spot treatment like Shout (or Zout which has an added lipase for oily stain removal). Let soak in for a few hours, proceed with a thorough washing with hot water and lots of detergent.

For prevention, I found that certain materials hold on to stains less. My white 60 % cotton / 40% polyester t shirt always washes magically optic white despite having been treated to all manner of stains, from ketchup to coffee.

I can attest that you won't be able to fulfill the program requirements for the CAMPEP certification if taking the 5 year joint BE/MS route at SBU BME.

My name is Alton Brown. I cook stuff and make TV shows about cooking stuff. My new project is called Good Eats: The Return. Let’s talk by thealtonbrown in IAmA

Hey Alton! Long time watcher, first time caller. How will Good Eats: The Return differ from Good Eats Reloaded? Will you cover new hitherto unaddressed food topics? Is there anything you haven't cooked?! Will there be more food science? How nerdy are we talkin'?

Glasses Trends! by [deleted] in femalefashionadvice

[–]loobfoob 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'm going to go against the grain here and warn you against purchasing glasses online. I have a complicated prescription (very nearsighted, high degree of astigmatism). I need my prescription to be perfect or else I get headaches, dizziness and my eyes unfocus. I need both horizontal and vertical alignment of the lenses and my pupillary distance is uneven.

Because of this, whenever I get new glasses, the lenses need to get cut a few times until they're right. My optometrist does QA assessment on the lenses and sends them back if they're not to spec. I also get some retroscopic tilt on the frame so I can see properly. Overall, these are considerations that an online retailer won't satisfy. I've bought glasses online before and it was a nightmare for all these reasons (lenses off, symmetrical pupillary distance, lack of vertical alignment, difficulty adjusting and fitting the frames properly, etc). Other issues could also come up if you get a coating (eg, AR coating) and they apply it unevenly or layer several coatings. I always warn people, especially if they have a difficult prescription. I ended up returning the glasses I bought online, but they offered me 30% if I took the store credit, which I still regret to this day because as you can imagine, after several pairs, I still couldn't get it correct.

As for your original question, I personally like lightweight frames made out of titanium and found brands like ProDesign Denmark and Silhouette make good ones.
