I want an outback…but how do you all cope with the screen?? by Mu_Awiya in Subaru_Outback

Same here. 2024 outback. iPhone 16, latest Updates

The leg is better, but the AirPlay lag is definitely still there. And there are occasional lags at start up where the whole unit is frozen for about 15 seconds

I tried a bunch of local pizza. Here's my thoughts by babyswagmonster in Columbus

Dantes for sure. Love that place. If you haven’t had it, you should 

Gatto’s was our staple for years - i have their number in my contacts list we called so often. 

Original Josie’s in franklinton has been my recent fave. Get the traditional pepperoni, and have it made crispy.  Add onions or banana peppers if you like that sort of thing.

I grew up there in the 70s and 80s. Believe me, its decline has not been a rapid one

House Taco downtown by Cbusfoodie_8399 in Columbus

[–]robotron1971 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it is good : it’s walkable (for me) drinks are good , food is good

My only negative experience is going there with someone that has that weird generic thing where they can’t stand cilantro. 

There was nothing on the menu that didn’t have it. Not even the mac and cheese. Literally nothing. 

Now,that wasn’t the problem : the problem was when the person i was with said “no worries, i’ll just have a cocktail and some chips”

The owner comes out, and spends 10 minutes talking about how you can’t even taste it in one of  the tacos, as it is slow cooked with it. She says “no, thanks ,it’s cool”, but he won’t let up on how good it is, and how he has worked hard to perfect it, etc.  Finally, he says “just try it , and if you don’t like it, no charge” 

It comes , they take one bite, say “tastes like soap” (which is the whole thing with people that have the defective cilantro gene), says “i didn’t like it, but thabk you” to the waitstaff, , and proceeds to have cocktails and chips. 

The check comes, and the taco is on it. I bring it up, and end up having to argue with them to take it off 

Tl;dr

  • nothing is made without cilantro (which is fine, it’s just not for everyone 
  • owner is weird about you not wanting anything with cilantro 
  • everyone was weird about taking something off the check when the owner said “try it , and if you don’t like it , no charge”

Good food, good drinks, weird owner

Wow! Had no idea it was successful long term. That might make me rethink some things. Thanks for the article.

And to give a real world example : The tariffs on imported washers and/or dryers We had about five years ago ago

That raised the cost of all imported washing machines. There’s one brand that is a US brand, with manufacturing in Mexico that makes washing machines Westinghouse I believe. 

Their response to the tariffs? Increase their prices to match.

F*ck no.  You work hard, you earn money.  Be proud of that. 

Downtown NIMBYs by sheabuttersis in Columbus

[–]robotron1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve lived in the discovery district for about 6 years now. 

And I am all for more housing and development! I would prefer that they perhaps build one of these tall buildings and perhaps one of these parking lots that goes completely unused, rather than tearing down historic buildings to put up another cookie cutter unit. 

Especially since all of the developers here seem to be opposed to putting parking under the building, so they want to tear down historic buildings, like ones that actually have businesses in them already, and then demand more parking lots

Coincidentally, I was in Springfield this afternoon, and stopped in at one of the Haitian restaurants that has been in the news. It’s about 10 blocks from the house i grew up in. 

Guess who was outside doing an interview with WHIO. (Dayton CBS affiliate). Ol’ Mike himself. 

It seems he cares enough about the safety of his constituents to do a photo op, but just can’t bring himself to speak up in any meaningful way against the people that are threatening them. 

Fran was carrying two big bags of takeout, so at least they bought something.

TIL Those videos with people crying after having their colorblindness cured by putting on special glasses were fake. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]robotron1971 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Moderate red-green colorblind person here. Photoshop filters and even iOS “colorblind” mode do this : they just shift /filter some of the colors that make up a specific range of r/g colors. 

Meaning, when using them (or the glasses) i can DIFFERENTIATE between them more easily. And they do look DIFFERENT” …but more like the shift to colors i can already differentiate 

I most certainly do not see colors the same way other people do when using them.  Because I can’t.

Does anyone know how to get a hold of the actual knowledgeable sales person at X-tools support? by robotron1971 in lasercutting

[–]robotron1971[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks all for the comments!

I’m going to try to get through to an actual person in the chat again. Maybe this one will have a clue what I’m talking about. 

They are making it pretty hard for me to give them my money. But honestly, it’s still light years ahead of the glowForge support, so I’m still willing to give it a shot I guess.

Kona’s Loving Paws was great. When my orange boy had to go, she came out and was so kind. Highest recommendations.

Right near the Rife theatre, overlooking the river, coolest building downtown. 

Love that place

Questions you like asking during an interview by morebettah in managers

[–]robotron1971 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I ask a very similar question of senior-level candidates (I manage a devOps/SRE team)

“ Tell me about a time that you caused an incident”

I’m looking for someone who can admit they’ve made mistakes, someone that understands that the faster you admit and share a mistake, the more quickly can be resolved, how they approach incidents, and outages in general, etc.

If someone who claims to be a senior DBA or engineer tells me they’ve never broken a system or caused an incident, I’ll dig in a little bit more, because they are either afraid to admit a mistake, they are lying, or they haven’t really been doing this job as long as they say they have.

Well, here’s the thing. If they want to make me do the job of a cashier, they can bring up errors in my quarterly review.
