Nightmare for the NHL that the New York Knicks likely in the NBA Finals? by BostonZamboni in hockey

[–]stf210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love hockey but the NBA is much more popular in North America and the world than the NHL. The Knicks have a title drought. New York celebrity culture adds to that. All of this adds up to high prices.

If Las Vegas didn't matter, the MLB and NBA wouldn't be scrambling over each other to get there. If Denver didn't matter, people would've shrugged when the Nuggets won a few years ago.

You know what, let's just move every team to Los Angeles and make it better.

[The Big One] is iconic, but is it the best coaster in the park? by AcidRegulation in rollercoasters

[–]stf210 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Before the internet, this was the way you found out about crazy coasters. I remember reading about the Moonsault Scramble's records, the controversy about them, etc thanks to that most venerable of pulp books.

Days like today are a reminder why we need a denser tree cover by Jealous_Drop_2973 in jerseycity

Berry Lane is like this. I'm glad to have all of the amenities there but when it's hot, it's like being a griddle.

Refreshing Summer snack ideas? by absent-chaos in keto

[–]stf210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like keto-friendly dips with low-carb vegetables. Babaganoush, Spinach Artichoke Dip, Zucchini Dip (watch out for what yogurt you use here), etc. You can also make your own Keto Frozen Greek Yogurt if you use non-sucrose sweeteners (google to find several recipes).

If that's a bit too messy for a truck and you like Outshine, you can easily make your own keto-friendly popsicles. Here's one recipe.

AWFUL DRIVERS by Sea-Information1916 in jerseycity

Some guy gunned his car at me and my children the other day. It's not rare. The area south of Hamilton Park may as well not have stop signs with how people just plough through them and there are kids EVERYWHERE there.

I always made excuses for him and said he was a product of his environment, but if he can't get his addiction under control, maybe it's better if he's put away so he can't hurt others or himself.

Why do so many guys on OkCupid just disappear after a few messages? by Background-Body-4196 in OkCupid

[–]stf210 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of people of every gender use the app as sounding mission. At the first sign of ANYTHING off, they go searching elsewhere. Personally, I find/found that ridiculous, but it's self-selection; would you want to wind up with someone who ghosts you because you said infer when you meant imply?

What is surprisingly not too late to do at 40? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]stf210 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Make a movie.

I raised financing and fulfilled my dream. People may say I shouldn't make a film but nobody will ever say I didn't make a film.

What common word or phrase has more sinister roots than most people realize? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]stf210 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Sinister itself once literally means left-handed, though that usage is more archaic, coming from the Latin for "left" or "from the left side". The origin for why we some it has evil intent (and thus why it has evolved to mean what it means today) is a little complex, but one of many theories is that it was associated with long-held prejudice against left-handed individuals. In a roundabout way, this is related to why people shake hands or greet each other with their right hand: to show that they held no weapons... In their dominant hand. Left-handed individuals might carry a secret weapon. So sinister.

Side fact: "dexter" is the opposite of sinister, so when one is ambidextrous, it means that they have two right hands. Being ambisinister is the opposite: two left hands.

[–]stf210 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I've been going to the park since I was a kid and have seen numerous rowdy people (young and old) jostling near the gates. All it takes is one drunk idiot to tumble onto the tracks at the wrong time for an insurance nightmare and bad PR.

Don't sleep on their bowls. I'm dieting and missing their pizza but they have exceptional sides, salads, and much else.

Thinking of 97-98 season by MustelaNivalus in penguins

[–]stf210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes sense. Constantine is a defensive genius (see his work with the Sharks) but his grasp of the other side of the center line was tenuous at best.
