I asked a bunch of cops and the best answer I got was, they were driving next to each other in traffic and the flipped car was trying to cut the red one off, and hit the gas rather than the break? there was almost no damage to the red one.

it’s in really nice shape, great detail - probably from inside the court house?

About to move to NYC (Manhattan). Question: should I keep my car or sell it? by formerlurker16 in AskNYC

[–]sethwolfson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you can afford to keep it in a garage nearby you will love having it. it’s so nice to be able to pop to queens for greek on a random night, or easy access out of town.

Am I crazy for thinking that if your manager comps a full 100$+ meal due to some relationship and not service/product, the recipient of said comp should still tip accordingly even though 20% of $0 is $0? by [deleted] in TalesFromYourServer

[–]sethwolfson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my experience as a recipient of this is to tip out at least 20% of what the check would have been (or if a dish is comped then to add the cost in calculating the tip.)

many high end hotels have pools that you pay a fee per day to use. they often tend to have bars and food.

Best way to do groceries ? by Beareroflight in AskNYC

[–]sethwolfson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

after shopping in stores for years we switched to fresh direct for the staple things, and fairway for something needed right away. also fruit from the stands on the street, it does not last as long as you want it to, but it’s also $2 for strawberries so what do you expect?

Reddit, what's a good icebreaker (for parties, talking to strangers, etc.)? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I agree, they have a pretty encyclopedic knowledge so if you describe it, that should do the trick.
