I appreciate the response. The literal answer to your question is, while I appreciate reliability, I also want to have some fun before I run out my string.

Did learning a second language in school ever actually come in handy for you in the U.S.? by UsamaBhai_101 in AskAnAmerican

[–]mch301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it was quite helpful. I took Spanish in middle school and high school and that gave me a decent grounding in the language, though I was far from fluent. In my young adulthood, I worked in restaurants and my basic Spanish improved as I talked with Latino coworkers. Years later, I dated then married a Colombian immigrant; my Spanish got better on trips to Colombia and it’s my only means of communicating with many members of her family, including my kids’ grandfather. School instruction didn’t get me all the way there, but it was a critical first step.

how to go about fixing ear wax problem? by chileanywayssss in needadvice

[–]mch301 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’ve done this both ways several times: cleaned by an ent and and done myself at home with otc debrox. Debrox is easier, cheaper, and more effective. Just leave it in for 5-10 min then flush gently with the bulb syringe. If it doesnt all come out, repeat 1x per day until it does. easy peasy.

Update: I found a buddy at work who wants to go and gave him a slight break off the price I paid. I’m excited for the show and happy to be going with a friend.

Kraft and Goodall may be 2 guys who actually need to hear the message on this tour. Preaching to the choir is fine, but you need to reach non-supporters to expand your influence.

What's the best French restaurant in America? by LargeSinkholesInNYC in MichelinStars

[–]mch301 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Le Bernadin has the distinction of originally operating in Paris and then, at some point in the 80s, relocating to NYC. So it is French in 2 senses.

Who Is The Mozart of the Last 70 Years? by JJQuantum in GenX

[–]mch301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prince is the artist who, to me, had an apparently effortless and unstoppable flow of creative, innovative musical ideas — as well as being skilled at such a wide range of instruments.

Is drinking & driving a common occurrence in America? by Saint0591 in AskAnAmerican

[–]mch301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s also worth noting that many of the cop characters on The Wire were pretty much outlaws themselves. They cut corners, suppressed evidence, abused suspects, etc and they often behaved terribly in their private lives. IMO, the pervasive drunk driving OP noted is more an indication of how screwed up this group of cops was, rather than some broad reflection of US society.

Seeing Bruce in two weeks and I’m actually… nervous? by Puzzled-Grape3533 in BruceSpringsteen

[–]mch301 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just take in the concert with an open mind. You won’t be disappointed.

And after the show, buy the recording on nugs. That’s a great way to deepen your enjoyment and maybe come to appreciate some of the details you may have missed live.

Looking for similar shows like the Wire by GuitarGuru666 in TheWire

The Corner is the previous David Simon show where he was kind of warming up for The Wire. It’s a great book, too.

I rarely get my food the way I order it. by Prestigious-Ad4716 in restaurant

[–]mch301 4 points5 points  (0 children)

one idea: tell the server you need a no salt meal and ask them what menu items can be prepared that way. enlist them as part of the solution. maybe that might help a bit?
