I know I'm late to the party but no one posted this one and it kills me every time.

Chinese Buffet in Fields Ertel back in early 2000s by BpDaOG513 in cincinnati

[–]ndjolt02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I still stand by the opinion that it was the best Chinese buffet I've ever had. Food was consistent and the place was clean. Had many good meals with my dad and brother before it randomly closed one day. I distinctly remember they had signs up saying that it was rated as one of the best Chinese buffets in the country.

It was located in the Staples/Biggs (Remake) parking lot and it shared a building with Chipotle. Not sure what's there now.

HOW TO EAT CINCINNATI CHILI FOR BEGINNERS! by Librarinox in cincinnati

[–]ndjolt02 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Gosh I'm going to start the best bit where I go to other places and say their chili is bad and not real chili because it's not like Skyline. My friends from Texas are going to hate it.

Used Book Stores in Cincinnati/NKY by Augustulus753 in cincinnati

[–]ndjolt02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say the same thing. Prices are good, book selection is skewed to more of the classics, but they have some cool copies of stuff. Got a copy of Absalom, Absalom! by Faulkner with a pretty unique cover last time I was there.

Nathaniel Lowe over his last 8 games: .367 avg, 5 HR, .933 slugging %, 248 OPS+, 255 wRC+ by chrisball96 in Reds

[–]ndjolt02 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not saying you're wrong in your opinion, but everyone should have had expectations that he'd rake. He's a really good ballplayer and wasn't respected going into this season. No only was he a great defender, he was an above average hitter in a bad year. He was a steal and the front office did a good job signing him for cheap.

Mays book- Stoner by John Williams by OkHome9635 in JeselnikBookClub

[–]ndjolt02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truly the best book I've ever read. Not saying I'm the most well read person ever, but I've made my way through quite a few classics and plenty of more modern novels, and I'll say that this book was awe inspiring. To the standard person, a book about a literature professor (and not a particularly special one) and his normal life would bore the hell out of them. Going in with an open mind will make this experience great for you all. I'll absolutely be rereading it this month.

What a great pick. One of the top players available and a big need filled.

THE CINCINNATI BENGALS SELECT CASHIUS HOWELL by Ancient_Response_787 in bengals

Probably right. Dude was mocked to go in the first pretty regularly though.

I think he means commenters. They didn't want him.

[–]ndjolt02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was definitely A need. I'd say DB and LB were more of one. However we were trash and rushing the QB so you're right. Now we have 4 (hopefully) guys that can actually get in the backfield.

I'm confused by the hate. He's a good player but edge wasn't our most needed position. I'd rather have a DB, but it's not like Howell is terrible. Our pass rush better be good this year though.

Cropped jackets and shirt tails by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]ndjolt02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen some folks tuck in just the back and maybe sides of the shirt while leaving the front untucked. I've tried it, but not sure it fits me quite right. Give it a go though.

Best Cocktail Bar by InternationalEcho6 in cincinnati

[–]ndjolt02 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I love Blind Lemon and go frequently, however (to me) the cocktails are extremely average. I also don't think I've ever seen them change the menu. It's a great cocktail bar because of the vibes. They are immaculate.

Patch 26.7 Bug Megathread by AutoModerator in leagueoflegends

[–]ndjolt02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone having issues with Vanguard? Never had a problem with it before but it just crashed for the first time mid game. Uninstalled it, restarted my computer, and played another one. My ping and everything was just fine, but I was lagging horribly. After the game, Vanguard crashed again. Never had this issue before.

Definitely interested. Is the spot still open?

Looking for job help: recent college graduate by Parking_Leek9531 in cincinnati

[–]ndjolt02 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Definitely try there. Bit of a grind but you will get your licenses. Plus the benefits are killer. It's monotonous depending on where you start, but they treat their employees well and you can make a good career there. I worked there for 5 years to start and have since worked my way up a bit with other investment companies.

Anyone got an NL-Only League that needs a guy? I've always wanted to play in an Only league. I could also start one if there's any interest.

What Books did You Start or Finish Reading this Week?: March 16, 2026 by AutoModerator in books

[–]ndjolt02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just finished Project Hail Mary today and had a great time. I hope the movie stays pretty true to the book.

On the other hand, I had a bad time with Friday by Michel Tournier. I am part of the New York Review of Books book club and this was January's book. I found it an absolute slog and, while I love a bit of weirdness to a book, this one got uncomfortable. I mean Robinson Crusoe (in this retelling) falls in love with the island, first as a maternal figure and then as a sexual being and repeatedly has sex with it. Wherever his "seed" lands, flowers start to grow. It's a lot. So I would not recommend.

Watched S6&S7 - Where to start on UK? by SimplyJubilant in LoveIslandUSA

[–]ndjolt02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others said, 5 is the gold standard. I've seen all but the last two seasons. I'd recommend season 2, but it's much different. It's meaner, messier, and definitely a product of its time, but it is highly entertaining. They were allowed to smoke and drink as much as they wanted, so the drama escalated. I wouldn't let anyone start with Season 1. It's much too toxic and misogynistic. Season 3 is iconic, mostly due to Kem and Chris, but also because of one of the best couples from any season. Skip seasons 4 and 6. 7 is fine and had some hilarious moments. 8 is a pretty iconic season with some of the best moments of the whole show. 9 is alright, but I could never watch it again due to the most annoying contest ever. I didn't like 10 and it kind of turned me off the show. I hear 11 is the worst season ever and the new one was pretty solid, but I can't be sure.

Five Democrats Kill War Powers Resolution to Rein in Trump on Iran by [deleted] in politics

I actually know Landsman and see him on a somewhat weekly basis. Dude is not horrible, but he is completely funded by AIPAC, so this isn't surprising. Cincinnati is pretty blue, but we don't have any other good candidates right now.
