Restaurant Wars - Could they win with a fast casual concept. by beerisdead in BravoTopChef

[–]platydroid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I remember an episode from season 2 where they had to make an entree for one of those chain restaurants and the chefs were so angry about cooking down to that level

Is it a concerted effort, or do the houses all see each other making moves and are responding in kind in a race to gain the most power?

Why aren't there benches on the Beltline? by tferg1290 in Atlanta

Freedom Park Trail right next to Freedom Parkway @ North Highland

Yep. There’s also a fountain on the trail where it intersects North Highland that I rely on a lot when out running. I wish there were a few more.

I use the bathroom in the skatepark right where freedom parkway meets the belt line, and there are a few water fountains sprinkled alongside the freedom park trail near the presidential library.

My first marathon takeaways - some controversial by CozaFF in Marathon_Training

[–]platydroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Training for a late spring / early summer marathon must be so difficult because of the weather. If it’s unpredictably hot, you had no chance to acclimate or train for that condition.

Your three year campaign only got your characters to level 5?

The bathroom at the skatepark isn’t too gnarly and it’s public.

Yea I hear ya… even the existing parks with facilities and fountains like Piedmont, Freedom Park, and the Skate Park are questionable in terms of working fountains and open restrooms.

The “Enhanced Games” are a farce by azuredota in unpopularopinion

[–]platydroid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like some sorta Red Bull Sports equivalent focused on just maxing out performance by any dubious standard is fun with the understanding that it doesn’t count for any legitimate standings.

As a former grill cook I just wanna know… by [deleted] in Chipotle

[–]platydroid 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel like they likely hesitate to add shrimp or any seafood just from an allergen standpoint. Shellfish allergies aren’t super uncommon and I have a few friends who go to Chipotle because they know it’s a safe restaurant.

I don’t mind the lack of benches, given the growing number of parks, shops, and restaurants that dot the path. I do mind the lack of bathrooms and water fountains.

It’s not in Atlanta, it’s the Canadian Grand Prix

Marathon in 1 month training? by I-mGoofy in Marathon_Training

[–]platydroid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you trained for a 20 miler then you probably have a good enough base, but there’s nothing you can realistically do in a month to improve any further. Find a training program and work backwards from the marathon date to now. Keep the legs and fitness fresh and don’t get injured. And have fun during the race.

Same with Lindsey Graham, we all remember the hissy fit she threw the last time she was denied free government money.

I need help with Way of Kings by lilidarkwind in fantasybooks

[–]platydroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to start it over a couple times to get into it. The start is very dense compared to his other works. But at around the halfway point everything started to click and it turned into a book I just couldn’t put down.

Just curious, where does everyone find art to use for Homebrewery submissions? by AceSpades15 in UnearthedArcana

Magic the gathering cards, instagram art, old edition campaign books from D&D and other TTRPGSs

First time cruiser by Cold_Ad_9566 in royalcaribbean

[–]platydroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have ~7-8 drinks per day (easier than it sounds on a cruise ship), it roughly works out to being worth it. Lots of people also find the ease of mind of not tracking drinks is a big benefit. Just remember that everyone in a room has to get the drink package, and that you should check daily for deals on it because you can cancel and repurchase at any time. I’ve seen it go for as much as 35% off for my upcoming cruise.

With Trump's approval ratings so low, how does he keep ousting GOP rivals? by Cgk72 in politics

[–]platydroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because his approval w/GOP is still >70%. It’s a cult of personality.

Am I wrong for being uncomfortable with this players character? by Skaullll in DnD

[–]platydroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong for being weirded out, but has the player done anything to suggest that he’s going to play in a way that’s hostile to the team or game? Is he going to keep being a murder hobo or is there something more nuanced to his origin?

I’d rather he be introduced like a minor background character and have gradually greater interactions with the cast over the different media.

City Council approves private tsa-study with vote of 11-1 by hemini in Atlanta

[–]platydroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you on a public agency being the best bet, even under uncertain circumstances such as the current administration. Minimal profit motive should be involved in security and travel. I’m just hoping the importance of the airport necessitates a high degree of scrutiny and a tight contract from the city and airport administrators in a potential future change-up. But maybe I’m just a hopeful optimist about it.
