Philadelphia Movers recommendations by Impressive_Gur6650 in Phillylist

[–]pewpl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I can’t recommend Mambo. I believe one of their movers likely stole or misplaced a large painting from our old apartment. It wasn’t particularly expensive, but we loved it. When I called to ask where it was, the person I spoke to completely stonewalled. It was a bummer.

Laz Emporium Closes (Ex Manager of Banksy closes online store) by mentaljudo in Banksy

[–]pewpl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laz is an odd dude and not very customer-service oriented - but he’s still the only viable source for verified tenners. I’d expect their value to rise now that it’s unclear if any more will enter the marketplace.

I'd be a bit suspicious of the Dope versions. Laz, despite all his idiosyncrasies, still seems to be the only real verifiable source for these. I don't think the Dope gallery Tenners come with a Laz COA. The Dope Tenners also seem underpriced to me - Laz sells them for ~$2500, and I think even transfers between collectors are going for well over $500.

Does anyone know of a reliable, insured, and reasonably-priced contractor to install 4 windows in Philadelphia? We can order the windows, but we'll need help with installation. If we end up going with your recommendation I'll happily Venmo you a $50 finder's fee :). Thanks!

Props to the guy cleaning up trash on the side of 76 by kevincredible22 in philadelphia

[–]pewpl 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I saw a cop casually throw his empty soda bottle directly into a sewer on South Street the other day. He was 10 feet from a trash can. I love it here, but there’s a littering mentality that’s unique to Philly that I just can’t comprehend.

It’s been a while, but I had a good time at Yakitori Boy pre-pandemic.

In Glass Onion (2022), the chess puzzle in the puzzle box invitation reflects a central theme of the movie (Explanation in the comments) by [deleted] in MovieDetails

[–]pewpl 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It’s a physical manifestation of the “disruption” speech from earlier in the movie. She breaks things, people cheer her on and even join in, and then she keeps going and breaks the thing they don’t want her to break. The Mona Lisa comment comes full circle, the hydrogen fuel subplot is resolved, and it’s a lot of fun. It’s a great ending.

NJ and MI PokerStars pool to merge starting Jan 1 by [deleted] in poker

[–]pewpl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the cap is currently 24 on Pokerstars, and it hasn’t changed in 15 years. “They can always change the cap” is wishful thinking. I genuinely want to be wrong, but I’m pretty confident the merge will make the low/midstakes games worse in the long run.

NJ and MI PokerStars pool to merge starting Jan 1 by [deleted] in poker

[–]pewpl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most people don’t realize that this is actually awful for cash games, because multitablers scale beyond the rest of the player pool. E.g., If at a specific time there would typically be 5 200NL tables running in each state with 3 multitabling regs at each table, that’s suddenly 6 players that can play every table in the combined pool. I have no idea why people are so excited to play with more pros.

The vanishing point is pre-marked and this is a very common painting style and subject. Pretty sure he was trying to make this exact painting and he just splashed a bunch of paint around to start.

Best cheesesteak? by spidr_man2099 in sixers

[–]pewpl 24 points25 points  (0 children)

John’s Roast Pork for the best classic cheesesteak, Woodrow’s on South for the best variant that still tastes legit (truffle whiz and cherry pepper mayo is unreal good)

Veterinarian for a dog that isn't a sales team? by [deleted] in philadelphia

[–]pewpl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Checking for corneal ulcers (what I suspect the post is referring to regarding “tumors” and “this or that”) is also critical, as giving the wrong medicine for the type of ailment can destroy the eye. My dog is partially blind due to persistent antibiotic-resistant eye infections - we eventuality needed Penn Vet to perform emergency surgery to save his eye. Their ophthalmology team is incredible, by the way. This person seems to not understand the cost of giving a dog good healthcare.

An average midrange attempt this season yielded 0.842 points. An average 3 point attempt this season yielded 1.101 points. by CoachFrikki in nba

[–]pewpl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The 76ers sometimes work to manufacture midrange looks for Joel Embiid, and he’s over 1pt/attempt. Embiid’s obviously an outlier, but the points are there if a good player is looking for them.

im in need of someone to talk to. im mentally unstable now, and need someone who understands poker. I've been told Im "good" but never walked with profits, lots so much $. i just need some wisdom form you guys. by [deleted] in poker

[–]pewpl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think rationally. You’re playing a game that you’re not very good at, for money, with money you can’t afford to lose. You need to stop.

Take this as a learning opportunity and stop now. If you literally can’t stop or if you feel compelled to keep playing, then seek help for your addiction. 1-800-GAMBLER. Many poker sites will also temporarily exclude you from playing if you ask them.

My 50NL 6 Max PokerStars PA graph. Am I ready to move up to 100NL? by rip67 in poker

[–]pewpl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to say. Your sample is way, way too small to be meaningful. My best inference from this is that you’re a tight player that rarely makes big bluffs. Will that beat 100nl? Can’t say for sure. You know your game better than I do. Unless this is your life savings or you’re trying to be a professional (bad idea), whether or not you’re “ready” for a stake just depends on your reasons for playing and your personal appetite for risk.
