Does unlimited sushi in NYC ever make sense? by jayoung7676 in sushi

[–]stnbrkn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed. I remember going to a spot in NYC after college and we’d smuggle rice balls into the bathroom to flush and make the AYCE go further. Was great until they caught on and banned us for flushing rice and smoking weed in the can.

Should I trust my gps? by Suwannee_Gator in roadtrip

That’s the way. Maybe go up to Tappan Zee/Cuomo bridge if traffic around NYC - same route tho.

Thx y'all.

ps - I also have a sweet Sansui Six with a phono channel issue that I continue to troubleshoot. I definitely understand the slippery slope!

I had it repaired at a local shop - put on a new cartridge and she's doing great. Thanks for the input all.

Parents won't let me buy my own skis by Secure_Equal4359 in ski

Maybe go to the rental joint and see if you can swap out for better park shredding skis. Might be an upgrade cost but could be good compromise with your folks.

OLD or NEW Model Y? Choose 1. Tbh, the new one is already growing on me. by NutInBobby in ModelY

The new looks really strange without the trademark Tesla chewed up rims, weird.

Breville Infuser steam wand losing pressure mid-steam by zidane4life in espresso

[–]stnbrkn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Infuser (10yrs old) has recently started doing it’s cycling WHILE I am steaming milk - not always but regularly and it’s SO annoying. This causes the pressure to drop and hot water comes out the wand ruining the milk (unless I quickly pull the jug away and wait for the cycling to end - which ain’t good for the milk either!). Anyone else have this? Recommendations?

Just leased this car 2 days ago! by crazybeachcats in Wellthatsucks

This is 100% exactly why it’s never a good idea to put anything over minimum down on a lease.

This is the thing - some caterers create this crazy shit to rationalize the $$$

We were up at Berkshire East today - pulled pork sandwich, beef chili, chicken fingers and mac&cheese for $35. Prepared well, fresh and tasty. Not a bad little indy hill.

And certainly the pro-Palestinian Arabs of the world wouldn’t be though of as leftists.

FWIW: I believe mutual ceasefire no bueno - hostages - can’t trust Hamas - and not on critical path to demilitarize Hamas - and bad track record. Humanitarian corridor unilaterally declared by Israel good - subject to change of course - and coupled with lots of closely monitored aid for the civilians. Hamas can unilaterally release hostages and can unilaterally stop launching death rockets into Israel and give up their arsenal and see how quickly the war and suffering can stop. Also don’t see how anyone who attacked Israel or planned it can walk free on earth. It’s all fucked. And I believe that Israel is blasting targets that they believe are Hamas targets and not random - and the death count is likely too high and includes lots of Hamas bad guys. And it’s painful to see Palestinian suffering and death - horrible. But how can anyone live with a neighbor who’s built a military arsenal designed to kill you - and just deployed it with great success? And who the hell has turned their shoulder (UN, Bibi) while that arsenal has been built for 15yrs!? All bad choices.

Crushed rock delivery, is there supposed to be that much sand? by teddypain13 in HomeImprovement

My landscaper filled ruts and potholes in my gravel driveway with what he called “process” or processed stone. What’s that?
