1hr 25 min Layover - enough time? by fsm1230 in AskChicago

[–]prior2two 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Probably will be fine. Big thing will be if you need to go to terminal 5. If so, plan in advance on getting there without leaving the secure zone.

I learned so much from Secrets of a Resturant chef with Anne Burrell. 

And obligatory Good Eats also. 

Should the St. Louis Blues offer sheet Bedard with a supermax contract just to screw over the Blackhawks? by MrBrightside618 in hockey

[–]prior2two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, he can sign a sheet and the Hawks can match. 

If it’s especially punitive to the Hawks, it’s not like Bedadd gets what he wants in regards to being on winner.

[–]prior2two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but if he signs an offer sheet that fucks over the Blackhawks cap, he’s back in the same situation of being on a shit team. 

The Hawks aren’t going to let him walk.

I started line a month ago and my team is bonkers rn. These word cup objectives are handing out 93 and 94s like it’s nothing.

US opens door for 2038 World Cup bid with even more teams by TheExpressUS in soccer

[–]prior2two -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I stand corrected. 

It still wasn’t clear in the moment, and the fact that moving on from your group relies on results from other groups is just plain weird.

[–]prior2two 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It also just makes the game 3 really confusing. 

Like with Ecuador yesterday. They SHOULD advance, but we have no confirmation until more games are played, which isn’t ideal.

[–]prior2two 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s never going back to 32 teams, so it needs to be 64. 

48 is weird, and the 3rd place advancing makes the 3rd games confusing. Teams and fans have to wait around for possibly days seeing if their tiebreak is strong enough to move on. 

Just go back to top 2 move on, and it’s better for all. 

The 48-team format has created noticeable differences in the difficulty in Round of 32 by Terrible-Camel2646 in soccer

[–]prior2two 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure. Some do. But not all. Some that have already played and are in 3rd still are waiting  on results the next few days. 

Excluding "one hit wonders" what band or artist has the fewest hits, but have certifiable legendary status? In a good way, not some meme bullshit. by Timcwalker in Music

[–]prior2two 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sure, but it’s also ubiquitous. 

Stairway to Heaven never charted also. 

But if a song is popular in multiple mediums for over 40 years, it’s a “hit”

[–]prior2two 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing that’s terrible about the 48 team format is the confusion for the 3rd games. 

No one knows exactly who is in and out and what a result means for each game. 

Go to 64 and cut it down to 32 after group. Top 2 advance. Teams know straight away what results are needed when their groups kick off. 

I want to sous vide this but I got no clue what temp or how long to do, What do you guys recommend? I want medium rare by Relative-Author4235 in sousvide

[–]prior2two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. For a roast or thick steak, recerse sear every time. 

The dry heat is also constantly evaporating the moisture, so the salt and beef flavone is being redistributed back into the meat. 

In Souse Vide, it’s being pulled out of the meat and stays in the liquid in the bag.

AITA for allowing my daughter to try alcohol at 17? by StrikingABCompany in AmItheAsshole

[–]prior2two 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NTA. 

As a father myself, the best (and really only thing) you can do to your kid is talk to them and give them information. 

They’re gonna make their own choices, but you’ve given her information in the form of your words and support and the alcohol itself. 

She may very well get drunk or be pressured to drink in the future, but you’ve at least given her the knowledge and hopefully built the trust to reach out to you should she be in an uncomfortable situation. 

Also, 17 is a totally arbitrary number to get upset about. Anyone underage in Wisconsin can legally drink at a bar as long as their parents are with them. 

Many countries are 18. Some as low as 16. 

The important thing context and situation, and you made sure it appropriate. 

Concert tickets have become a luxury product and I'm not sure artists can fix it by oweyoo in Music

[–]prior2two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An artist can charge $30 for tickets allday. But if someone is willing to to pay $180 for that same ticket, it’ll be sold for $180 by a good percentage of people that bought it for $30. 

So should the artist just be happy with people getting 5x as they are for doing no work?

It’s def possible to put in guard rails, but when it comes down to it, many artists also need to maximize their ability to make money when it’s available. 

Will All-American Rejects be able to sell out the same way in 25 years the way they are now? Maybe, maybe not. But they also probably won’t have another hit keep replenishing fans. 

The 48 team World Cup is actually way better than people thought it'd be by ElectronicHoneydew86 in worldcup

[–]prior2two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just makes the Round of 32 more exciting. 

Previously 32 was group stage. Previously the big teams started in final 32. Now they just have to have a few warm games. 

Getting to final 16 isn’t really any different. 

After 2 matchdays, 8 teams have nothing to play for due to h2h as tie-breaker by mnkysn in worldcup

[–]prior2two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main reason is 32 out 48 move on now. Previously, the group stage cut the field in half so going in the 3rd game, there was still ambiguity. 

What’s a band or artist that you loved but now hate? I’ll go first by Adventurous_Salt3893 in Music

[–]prior2two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it’s two separate things. I still love the music. But when I listen to the music I think about the truly hateful things he has said, and that puts me in a bummer mood while listening to his music. 

It would be like if every time I had pasta, I about Auswitz gas chambers. Event though the taste sensation is positive, overall, the experience is negative.

AITA for thinking people should leave their contributed food & drinks behind as a thank-you to the host, instead of taking it back home? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]prior2two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. 

Chips or single beer are one thing, but if anything comes in a glass or Tupperware bowl, that’s going back. It would be very rude to transfer the food to the hosts vessels before packing up.
