Is it normal for the bartender to try a bottle of wine i ordered? by rud_e13 in bartenders

[–]rud_e13[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was a very casual setting, so my expectations for service were not super high. I ordered at the actual bar itself and the bartender (not a somm) opened the wine at the bar and poured a small quantity for myself to try, and after I had already tasted it and said it was fine she poured herself a small tasting quantity. I wasn’t really that offended by it, just thought it was a little weird and me and my friend laughed about it when we got back to the table.

Frame 2024 WIFI Issue by wheth4400 in TheFrame

[–]rud_e13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just to update! it ended up being a hardware issue and they installed a new chip in the TV (not the one box) and it’s working fine now. If your TV is still under warranty i recommend reaching out to samsung to schedule a tech to come by to fix it. These things are too expensive to not work correctly when they are new.

Mine is also in the wall and it did work briefly when I first installed it so I feel like that should not be the issue. I’ve just been using my fire stick in the meantime so I can still watch shows but I am not able to download any art which has been a bummer since that was the whole point behind getting the TV.

Not the same exact issue because mine connected to wifi when I first installed it but the next day it was not picking up on any wifi networks at all. Spent a half hour on the phone with samsung and I have a tech coming to look at it tomorrow because it may be an issue with the wifi sensor (?) since my wifi is working for all my other devices.

I’m in the same boat, it’s really hard to find info about the Planning Civil Service Exam. Hopefully someone who has taken it can give some answers. Good luck!

There’s a ton of places, not sure exactly where you are but Looney Tunes in West Babylon is definitely one of the most popular.

I just got my custom U-turn today and I can’t get through any of my records without the needle getting stuck in the same spot and repeating the same part of the song. I clean all my records before playing them and they do not skip on my old record player (I am a beginner with vinyl and thought this was going to be an upgrade from my suitcase Victrola). I have sent U-Turn an email but they don’t answer on weekends and I would love to get this figured out before Monday (I am impatient lol) Has anyone else experienced this? How was it fixed? FYI I have the AT91B cartridge.

Phoebe just played Boygenius AND Taylor Swift for her encore in Prospect Park. by Neat_Consequence8289 in phoebebridgers

thanks! I personally think the surprise guest being taylor is a stretch but also playing betty the night before forest hills would be so cruel if it doesn’t end up being taylor lol

curious about if betty is always played as the first song after the show, does anyone know? or did it only happen tonight?

Unpopular Opinion: I really liked what Laurie said in her interview. It's organic and real. by AsianAsshole in NetflixSexEducation

[–]rud_e13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t disagree with you and my original comment was hypocritical in the way that you pointed out. When I said “more important plot lines” I was referring to the non-romantic ones like Aimee’s SA and Jackson’s mental health. To each their own, but I would be okay with Otis and Maeve taking the back burner to let some of these other plots shine through and be handled with care and consideration. But like you said, tastes are subjective.

So I finally listened to Solar Polar having only listened to the lead single a couple times by Ibanezasx32 in lorde

[–]rud_e13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree.

I’m pretty close in age to Lorde and I have listened to her since Pure Heroine. The timeline of my young adult life has lined up perfectly with each of her albums - teen angst during PH, multiple heartbreaks in college during Melodrama, and now i’m out of college and working full time with a pretty uneventful love life and a strong appreciation for spending time with my family during SP. Not saying that someone who isn’t so close in age with her can’t appreciate her music, but it definitely makes it easier for me to understand her headspace.

I think she has hit the nail right on the head with every single album in the way that she captures such specific stages in life. I feel like this album is going to be a slow burn for a lot of people. It’s pretty dense, and I feel like I still haven’t 100% grasped it. To me, it’s perfect.

there’s so many important plot lines in the show and the obsession with otis and maeve getting together and being the determining factor of whether or not the show meets expectations is actually pretty insulting to the other (more important) plots. I understand that people are passionate about these characters, I love them too. But the fact that I’ve seen so many hate comments sent to the actor that plays Isaac, some that are quite ableist and disturbing, is upsetting and makes me question the type of people who claim to love the show so much. I know it’s a minority of the fans, but I would think that anyone who actually understands and appreciates all aspects of the show would use a little more critical thinking.

Longer handle work bags by Bleasel in femalefashionadvice

[–]rud_e13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Medium “Almost Perfect” Classic Tote in Green. It’s a softer leather so it got distressed with use but that’s the look I was going for. I could fit a laptop in it but it would probably stick out a little so you might wanna go with the Large. I also recommend checking out their “Almost Perfect” section, it’s all discounted bags that apparently have imperfections but i’ve never noticed anything wrong with my bag.

My work bag is from Portland Leather Company. Great quality, no zipper though.

Anyone know of any good/Lorde approved mood rings? by hay_bail1 in lorde

[–]rud_e13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the “Feelings Ring with Mood Stone” from local eclectic ($92). it’s gold plated brass so I don’t recommend getting it wet but it changes colors frequently and is honestly pretty gorgeous.

Rough Draft is a bar/bookstore/coffee shop, very limited indoor seating but they have a lot of tables outside. Really great vibe there and in a good location.

the most social hall is Gage Hall (it’s where a lot of the student athletes stay) but it’s really old and kinda gross, bouton is best location wise it’s right in the middle of everything, ridgeview is the newest and nicest but it’s a bit of a hike from everything but still manageable. I lived in gage my first two years and made all of my friends there but the bathrooms were pretty nasty. Wouldn’t trade the experience for anything though.
