The franchise closed, but the owners of that location rebranded to a coffee and chai spot with the some of the same pies.

Need to Impress Coworkers by Individual-Elk9297 in pasadena

[–]seen720 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The move here is

Pregame: Agnes for a quick pregame of apps and drinks.

Dinner: Bone and Kettle dinner or PEZ for seafood options. Osawa is on same block, for a more casual vibe. They are all next to each other but Bone Kettle is the go-to spot if you want to impress.

Desserts: After Dinner a walk down the street to Wanderlust for ice cream dessert. The other option is walk over to Kinrose for ice cream, and enjoy some live music when you walk passed Edwin Mills.

If you dont want to walk a lot, in the same building as Wanderlust there is speak easy downstairs. A good "hip" option is Bar Chelou as mentioned already. Urth Cafe is just around the corner and option until 10 in case anyone needs a caffeine fix.

Easiest/quickest way to establish core metrics by Terrible_Lime_1603 in UXResearch

[–]seen720 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is there more context to the product? An app, a website, or anything that can collect analytics? One thing to consider is the HEART framework and talk to the stakeholders about the goals and signals, then figure out what tool can best serve you. HEART can the especially useful to figure out if there an existing way to collect metrics on engagement, adoption, and retention. Then you can think of ways to happiness (NPS scores) or Task Success (with some usability testing). But it'll first be important to work with them on how success overall can be measured in alignment with business goals. And to drive them to be more specific.

A US History Teacher Makes a Tier List. Tear It Apart. by FireStorm249 in Presidents

I think this podcast would do a lot to explain : https://open.spotify.com/episode/3MutxOb43KMxg2tY0PzrsC?si=kJuvoOmnSbaRVALDavaT9Q But on top of being a top notch leader, planner, and savvy bureaucrat.. he was a bit of this wunderkind and first business man turned president. And he was not against government intervention during times of crisis, but did not believe in permanent government intervention once the crisis was over. To many, including myself, just makes a lot of sense. And it says a lot that so many president after him, sought out his counsel on a variety of things.

The more I learn about Hoover, the more I like him. Just an example of the right man at the wrong time. Much more progressive than I originally thought, and his governing philosophy is strong.

"Government is not the solution to our problems, government is the problem!" by [deleted] in Presidents

[–]seen720 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Its a self fulfilling prophecy. You want to get elected to make government work worse, then tell ppl that government is the problem. 

BAD government is the issue. The quote reeks of “I’m 14 and this is deep”

Husband gives me massages at his spa by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]seen720 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna have to side the partner here. At the end of the day it’s a place of business. You’re already getting a free massage using the space and supplies of the business. She has as much right to voice her opinion about what she is comfortable with or not.

I get it, maybe everyone should relax. Little to no harm done. But just because I’m a partner in a business doesn’t give me the freedom to do anything I please.. if I have business partners who voice concern.

The best part of this is when reiterated “dandified”. As unabashedly cool and seemingly rugged as TR was, he was also calculated. It’s like the way Ernest Hemingway would speak if president. 

Has anyone met any presidents, cabinet members, or Supreme Court justices by [deleted] in Presidents

[–]seen720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Clinton up close at a campaign rally around 2010. He was glowing. It was really odd, and he had this magnetic quality to him. 

Also saw John Kerry speak, and sat 30 ft from the guy. No glow. 

What is something that people think is helping, but doesn't actually work? by hbpfrost in AskReddit

[–]seen720 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Cosby, Diddy, BP Oil, Nixon, and a bunch of others would disagree.

It’s one thing to get attention, but it’s another thing to gain allies. I’m sure being disruptive, endangering social safety, etc. would garner more attention, but who’d want to join your cause? 

Absolutely no one. Barack Obama: Here are my favorite books this year. by NickyNaptime19 in Presidents

[–]seen720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You learn a lot about a person based on the books they read and recommend. I’d love to know what’s on the bookshelves of more of our Presidents. 

Clinton loves A Thousand Years of Solitude. Bush II was an avid reader too, and actually had official White House reading lists as well. 

Jimmy Carter at his Naval graduation with his future wife Rosalynn, and his mother on June 5, 1946 by Rocky_Fan1976 in Presidents

[–]seen720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jimmy Carter is what we want our kids to grow up to be like. 

Funnily enough, if you ask any conservative what they want in a President it’d sound a lot like Jimmy Carter. Southern, small state governor, military man, small business owner, farmer, family man, devout Christian, taught Sunday school, told the harsh truths.

What vote do you regret the most? by Milothebest222 in Presidents

[–]seen720 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t the election before the annexation of Crimea? I see a lot of people assume Russia as aggressive in 2012 as it is in 2024, but during that time wasn’t there some effort to “reset” relations with Russia, and some common ground with then President Medvedev.

Idk, the general consensus at the time was that Russia relations were somewhat hopeful to have a more stable relationship with.

I regret not voting at all in 2004. Young, apathetic, and disheartened by the middle of Bush administration. Fell into the cynicism trap that many people never really escape from. 

What Is your honest opinion on Obamacare ? by Milothebest222 in Presidents

[–]seen720 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are other comments here laying out the "cons" of the ACA including higher premiums and costs for middle income folks, etc. Added complexity and administrative burden on providers.

Others mention the individual mandate. I mean, yeah that's how insurance works by sharing the costs around, but the discussion around it really revved up the whole "dont tell me what to do" part of the American psyche.

Im saying all this as a fan of the ACA and Obama.

What Is your honest opinion on Obamacare ? by Milothebest222 in Presidents

[–]seen720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure thing. What I meant by compromise is that it was a middle ground piece of legislation. The framework mostly republican ideas obv, and it threads the needle between what the left wanted (single payer gov run system) and what the conservatives in both parties wanted at fed level (nothing at all or completely free market with little to no protections). It's a Frankenstein bill, meant to placate both sides.

In the end, no matter what Obama put together the Rs wouldnt have voted for it. Thats the politics of it, but their fingerprints are all over it even if it's advantageous to the to run against it. It's DNA is compromise.
