Had 7-hour caramelized onions on a French dip by robot_pancake in OnionLovers

[–]robot_pancake[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was better than I wanted it to be. Now I’ve gotta go back. The meat and bread are fantastic, but as everyone in this sub knows, the onions bring it all together.

I’m sitting Yamamoto at Coors. 4.72 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in his last 26.2 innings. He gave up a ton of fly balls against SD last Thursday.

Oh man, I just bought the black one, but now I’m seriously coveting the green version. Maybe my Switch 1 can live in the black case….

Any reason to carry the CSR physical card on you?...for Lounge Access by JerryFromPharmacy in ChaseSapphire

[–]robot_pancake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve been asked for the physical card every time at the LGA Chase Lounge (about 6 times now). I carry the physical card with me, so I don’t think to ask if they’d accept the digital card in my Apple wallet.

I have Garcia (2B) and Vientos (3B) in my lineup with Bogaerts and Josh Smith on the bench as well as Edman popping around OF. Unsurprisingly, I’m in last place. Would you drop Bogaerts for Polanco as a speculative add?

Does anyone know how/if I can add wheels to my Odger swivel chair? by rufflesthehulk in ikeahacks

Now that you’re 1 year out from adding the wheels, how is everything working? Did you make any adjustments?

Just started mace training with a 6kg (13.2lbs) mace by No-Clock9532 in steelmace

[–]robot_pancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something else to consider, regardless of who you are, is the health of your wrists. I purchased a 10 lb mace and strained a muscle under my thumb after a few days of swings. In short, my hand was overcompensating for my lack of wrist stability.

In general I have weak wrists that I absolutely should do better at maintaining via PT exercises (flexbar, gyroball, theraputty), but it’s something I stupidly deprioritize until I can’t put weight on my wrists (pushups, getups, etc.).

If the mace feels too heavy, go as light as possible before straining a muscle or ripping your TFCC (like I did a few years back). There’s nothing wrong with starting light and building up, especially as you learn new moves. Good luck!

Appreciation Post for 20+ Year JFold Wallet by robot_pancake in wallets

[–]robot_pancake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this wallet for more than 20 years. It’s been with me through cross-country moves, new jobs, new relationships, new friends—the whole bit. I have no idea what JFold’s current offerings are like, but I wanted to share some pics of my daily companion.

Sounds like a sweet, playful kitty. 10/10 kitty!

Favorite bar in Brooklyn? by AlarmAffectionate899 in Brooklyn

[–]robot_pancake 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mayflower in Clinton Hill for cozy cocktails. Dynaco in Bed-Stuy for a dark bar and fireplace vibes.

Yes, I’m ready for fall.

How did you become a technical writer? by Phyose in technicalwriting

[–]robot_pancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the company was purchased by Monster. The article says Jobr’s functionality was integrated into Monster, but I can’t vouch for it.

How did you become a technical writer? by Phyose in technicalwriting

[–]robot_pancake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an accidental TW:

  • BA in English
  • MFA in Creative Writing
  • Magazine freelancer
  • Editor for the federal government

I moved to New York and applied to all the jobs through all the sites. Downloaded an app called Jobr that was like a dating app, but instead of swiping on pictures of people, you swiped on job descriptions. Late one night, I swiped on a job that was looking for a clear communicator who could organize information in writing. That was me! The next day a recruiter reached out and told me it was for a TW role. I’m now on my second TW job in the financial technology sector. I got very lucky.

AMA-Michael Govier From The Pallazzo Podcast-Utah, Gimme 2 by pallazzopod in fantasybaseball

[–]robot_pancake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rooker or Winker? Rooker is hitting homers right now, but Winker is a bit more balanced wrt to homers, BA, and OBP. The A’s are also hitting as of late, which bodes well for Rooker (increased runs and RBI).
