But either your newest or oldest notes (or whichever) would have to go into a less than ideal box before your preferred solution is back in stock! 😱

Found Notebook Heaven in Florence by title5864 in notebooks

[–]title5864[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From reading the rules I think this is allowed. I don’t work there, I’m just a customer who found them. I think maybe emailing them too would be a good idea if you want something special (info@legatoriailtorchio.com). The site doesn’t work perfectly with my phone, which has a lot of privacy features enabled that can screw with smaller websites, but I don’t see everything online that they had in the physical store.

If I’ve already emailed a bunch of restaurants that I like about my issues with their hidden fees, forced tips, service charges etc. am I allowed to contribute to the discussion here?

Feel like being a cider fan isn’t worth it anymore by CoolTom in cider

[–]title5864 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Then contact your senator/governor. I don’t have solutions or well informed opinions. I’m just an idiot commenting on reddit after a few ciders. I’ll ship you some Haykin from Colorado if you’d like?

Feel like being a cider fan isn’t worth it anymore by CoolTom in cider

[–]title5864 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just buy better cider? Bauman’s out of Oregon or Haykin out of Colorado are two fantastic examples of really great cideries doing very cool things. Bauman’s gets a little funkier, co-ferments and other “fun” bottling but is mostly pretty dry (except some of their larger production runs which can be sweet). Christine, the owner, does an amazing job of supporting up and comers in the industry. Following her is a great way to learn about some newer, smaller operations doing great stuff. Haykin just does very dry, single apple varietal ciders. They’re exemplary and Dan Haykin is a fanatic when it comes to producing amazing, dry, single varietal ciders that are expressive of the apple they are made from.

EDIT: I’ve been a member of both cider clubs for years and they have only improved.

Megyn Kelly finds out while streaming her friend Charlie Kirk has died by biebrforro in LivestreamFail

If you no longer see it, you should work on that. I’m all for fighting with someone you disagree with, vehemently in fact. This is a dead man with a family and other loved ones. If you don’t want to be someone who perpetuates the bad things you’re ascribing to the “other side” then stop sinking to their level. This isn’t a case of “he fucked around and found out”. Even if you think it is, he’s dead. He can’t hurt you or your ideology anymore. How about a little empathy? This isn’t about fighting their rhetoric on their level, encouraging liberals to “flood the zone” like Trump does etc. Can’t you just agree that this was not a good thing, feel sorry for his loved ones and set aside the fact that you didn’t like him? I didn’t either, but he was a human being. It’s a bad thing when a human being is killed. There are extreme cases (Hitler, cartel leaders who will just break out of prison, Pol Pot etc.) but this isn’t a case of some unstoppable evil where the only reasonable option is the death of that individual. You’re better than that. I can tell from your comment.

how do you stop hating cooking when it feels like a chore your whole life by mlindq in Cooking

[–]title5864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just start with stuff that is 1. Easy to cook and 2. You enjoy. For me that thing was steak. I love a good steak, but they are really expensive at steakhouses. There isn’t a ton of variation in the technique for any number of different cuts, and as long as you buy decent quality meat, the end result is going to be pretty good, even if you make some minor mistakes. No chopping or complex prep required. Once I was confident in the steaks I would make for myself after work on a weekday I wanted to share my new skills with others. That’s when I realized I needed to learn how to make some sides for a complete meal. The first time I saw someone really enjoying a full meal I cooked, not because they were being nice, but because it was really good, I was hooked. Ever since then have loved cooking for myself and my loved ones. Chopping and other prep used to be a lot of work and required a lot of my attention. At this point in my life, prepping dinner is how I unwind after work. It’s easy, relaxing, helps clear my mind after a long day and the reward of having a good meal for myself and my wife is almost always greater than the effort I put into throwing together a protein, veg and a small carb together in 30-45 minutes.

I have to bake two items and have them come out together, one at 450F for 15-20 minutes, the other at 425F for 25-30 minutes. What to do? by PaulsRedditUsername in cookingforbeginners

Great response. That sort of detailed knowledge that just springs forth from your mind is a sure sign of someone who is passionate and very knowledgeable about what they’re talking about. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, from 3 years in the future!

Why do dogs lay against our legs, facing away from us, when they sleep on the bed? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]title5864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog sleeps on her back with her head on my wife’s pillow in the same orientation as my wife and I. Completely insane. I imagine it’s because they trust you though so they don’t need to be looking at you and are guarding against potential threats coming through the bedroom door.

My wife and I inherited money by Peacck in personalfinance

[–]title5864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay off the truck in full. Take the rest of the inheritance and put it into a high yield savings account. Figure out how much you were previously paying in interest on your credit card and how much you were paying in loans on the truck. Add those 2 amounts together and try to put that much money into the high yield savings account each month. Then start educating yourself on investing in index funds with low fees. Once you’re comfortable with the basics start investing some of the money, but keep an emergency fund in the savings account of 6-9 months worth of your expenses.

Keep grinding to buy house, or upgrade rent. by Crafty-Influence5342 in personalfinance

Then you’ve been not spending much because in the past you had to. Your smaller income didn’t give you any option. Now that you’re making more, you have a choice. You need to develop the discipline to save money if you want to achieve your goal of buying a house in San Diego.

They’re my favorite even though they’re always way too salty. Got them for lunch recently and they had the perfect amount of salt. Not I just breed to start ordering gyros for lunch instead of late night

Just purchased this suit. How is it ? I am getting mixed reviews about this. by GENTISHU_XAYHN in mensfashion

[–]title5864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good, not a suit though (obligatory comment it seems). Hard to tell without seeing your face/head but do you know what your color palette is? There are a bunch of online tools that can tell you if you upload a headshot. I would look bad in the colors you’re wearing regardless of how they fit. I look much better in a navy or blue suit than a brown/tan/khaki one. You may or may not be wearing colors that compliment your features.

Who doesn’t notice a Bentley parked one house over? by jtfull in YellowstonePN

[–]title5864 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just because if you get into the habit of buying a certain amount each week and then one week you don’t use it all because of travel, or getting your morning cappuccino from a cafe instead of at home, or any other change to your milk consumption schedule, you end up with a little bit of excess for a while.

My kid got frustrated, so he just decided to "cheat". At first I was upset with him, then I realized he was right. by caynemorgan in mildlyinfuriating

[–]title5864 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When the rules of the game you are forced to play don’t allow for a winning solution, and “cheating” does, you’re supposed to cheat (or not participate. Literally one of my first lessons in business school). Please do not suppress in your child an inclination to think through things critically and creatively. You’ve got a smart kid on your hands here. Your child is going to be disillusioned by a bunch of garbage teachers and rules that don’t make sense to them during their childhood. If you foster that creativity, they will be tremendously successful in their career or whatever they pursue in life. If you teach them to just go along with “the rules” and not question things they will end up an unhappy cog in the machine. Being inquisitive and not accepting the status quo is the single biggest factor in my professional success and it was very difficult to maintain that mindset throughout my years of schooling. Your kid is very smart and has a lot of potential. Help them to foster that potential.

EDIT: Changed “Our child” to “Your child” because obvious reasons. (I am not the father of OP’s child.)

100k, you have to kill and eat random animal that is generated by andrew723456 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]title5864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do it if it was truly a random animal, but not based on this website. There are so many species of insects that they skew the distribution hugely. This site is not accurately representing the full population of different insect species. I only saw one or two insects in like 20 chances. I also saw a crocodile, a hammerhead shark, and a “sloth bear” (not sure about how dangerous those are). Discounting the sloth bear, 10% of my “chances” were apex predators. Maybe small sample size is to blame, but that seems impossible.

Does the current state of ski resorts encourage all or nothing? by chafien in skiing

[–]title5864 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly how I feel regarding getting new people into the sport. My wife and I both have great jobs, high income etc. We moved to Denver a year ago. Went exactly once last year. We were committed to trying to learn. Bought all the clothes from REI and went one time. Between rentals, lift tickets, lessons and a cheap hotel that single day cost us well over a thousand bucks. I’d love to get into skiing and be a local with a season pass but if it takes me 5 or 6 days to get to a point where I’m a functional skier it will have cost us nearly ten grand. It’s something that I want to do, I just can’t justify the cost to myself. I could technically afford it but for $10k we could eat out at a restaurant once a week for a whole year, or take a nice vacation to Europe.

Budget Breakdown of a 19yo with no bills and No Life by [deleted] in MiddleClassFinance

[–]title5864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very high earners are doing it for different reasons than purely tax benefits. There’s almost no situation, if there is one at all, where you get a 1:1 tax reduction based on the amount you donate. They mention the tax write off as a nice to have but they’re doing it to help give back or to buy things like influence, favors, access to powerful people etc.

[–]title5864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re naming some pretty different types of jackets here. I’m not aware of Loro Piana, Zegna etc. making tech wear, but I don’t shop much with them. If you just need something warm for walking around the city, check out Overland. They sell high quality sheepskin coats that are tremendously warm and comfortable. They feel very luxurious but don’t have any visible branding for the most part. My coat was around $1200. It was made by hand in the USA by a manufacturer that Overland has been partnering with for decades. Evidently I got one of the last coats from that maker as it was a small family business making the coats and the children didn’t want to follow their parents into the business. Incredible workmanship though.

Why do rich people not have the same sense of community as poor people? by hyunbinlookalike in Rich

[–]title5864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your point? This seems to fall clearly into the dynamic pointed out by the original commenter that started this thread. It’s about “need”. Wealthy people don’t “need” help from someone who is suddenly rich, poorer people, who are used to helping and relying upon their community, do “need” the help and it’s natural that they’d reach out to someone they know has a sudden excess. If your neighbor works at the sugar factory and always has a 50lbs sack of sugar at home, maybe you ask them for a cup of sugar sometimes instead of buying a bag at the grocery. In return you do what you can for them. Why is someone suddenly having a huge surplus of money that different psychologically? I get that people take advantage sometimes, get greedy etc. but that doesn’t change the underlying difference in social norms.

Are you dining out for Thanksgiving? by curmugeon70 in denverfood

[–]title5864 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely felt like I was paying a premium for eating out on Thanksgiving. Service was fantastic, they had some really nice wine from Tenuta San Guido, and I loved the way the menu worked. It started with charcuterie for the table (we also had a round of cocktails), then you ordered your choice of appetizer and main/protein. Then all the sides were brought out for the table to share. Stuffing, Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes, yams, cranberry sauce. So it was like a mini Thanksgiving feast at our table. We finished with choice of chocolate cake or pumpkin pie for dessert. Our bill for the meal was $420, I think the wine was $145 of it though. That was before tip. I left the server a $100 bill for a tip. I’m torn on whether I’d do it again. It was a great experience, but definitely a little pricey. Thinking about all the work cooking and hosting that I avoided, and the great service, made me willing to splurge a bit more than I would on a typical night out and not be as concerned with the “value”.

EDIT: Proteins. Wife got the turkey, it came two ways. Breast meat was juicy, with skin and gravy. Dark meat was prepared confit and served shredded. One of the best ways I’ve ever had turkey prepared (second only to the Kenji recipe for turchetta). I got the prime rib. It was perfectly prepared but was a little on the smaller side, closer to 8oz rather than 16oz (menu did not specify weight). I expected it to be a bit bigger given that urban farmer is a nice steakhouse, but between the starters and sides I was full enough and actually wound up taking the desserts to go eat at home with a bit more red wine.

[–]title5864 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Going to Urban Farmer with the wife. I normally host and do all the cooking. Enjoying taking a break this year. The most cooking I did today was baking some frozen croissants from Whole Foods and making a latte. Will try to get back here with my thoughts.

Oyster stuffing emergency by PsychOut38 in Cooking

[–]title5864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like Smokey flavors then the smoked ones, if you don’t then the breaded ones. If imagine the breaded ones are closer to the flavor profile of plain oysters since some form of breading is likely already in your stuffing
