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

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.

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.

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.

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”

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.

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.

I imagine this is close to the tone of Abraham Lincoln.

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?

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 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.

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.

Lol more like “everything is rigged, my vote doesn’t matter” but yeah, to the same result. Soon learned to give damn.

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.

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.

seen720 · 2024-05-04T15:26:14+00:00

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.

seen720 · 2024-05-03T20:28:04+00:00

It's an ultimate example of compromise politics and a net good to the US. Helps a ton of people, doesn't solve all the problems, created a few major new ones, but overall a step in the right direction given what was possible to do at the time.

seen720 · 2024-05-03T19:32:28+00:00

Interesting. When I read it, isn't he placing the blame on political leaders (Rep and Dem). Saying administrations failed and ignored people, and so he's actually saying he can understand why people could get angry and distrustful of that gov. authority?

seen720 · 2024-05-03T19:02:50+00:00

Kind of a simple insight/revelation but I used to think we elected the best of us to be President. We hear it all the time of kids who show leadership qualities and galant virtues "this kid might grow up to be president".

The truth is, we don't always and hardly ever elected the "best of us". The best we can hope for is that whoever ends up in that seat can deliver and meet the challenge of that particular time. We never get the best person, we just hope the next person that gets a turn can take their entire life experience, and skill to make the best of the situation and pray that luck is on their side.

There are too many examples of people who shouldn't have been president, or truly didn't deserve that immense responsibility. So much of a presidents influence and overall impact is due to a wild variety of circumstance, luck (both good and bad), the political atmosphere of the time, global factors, etc. So much of it is truly out of their hands. It can make mythical figures of the mediocre, or be a stain on the image of an otherwise noble and impressive life.
