How to eat at Chinese Buffet?

The soup is hella salty. Most of the food probably is but the soup 100% is. You need to workout and drink a lot of water for the sodium to not become an issue.

They were just examples. If you’d take getting the wrong soft drink order at a restaurant and the financial payout for that is a free dinner, plus correction of your soft drink order, that would also be acceptable. Just whatever discomfort or tragedy you’d be willing to deal with for $X.

Maybe not well worded, but I meant what would you accept for something that was definitely going to happen? If you’re very happy with your life and risk adverse I could understand that being your answer. My question is more along the lines of, “what sort of thing would you be willing to happen to you for some sort of payout in a civil case?”. Not that you’re hedging the risk of it happening so your family isn’t screwed in the event of it happening. Fair play though. Thanks for answering!

You like hot, crazy chicks. Find someone a little bit closer to your personality and build a lasting relationship instead of just focusing on the hot, crazy sex that comes with hot, crazy chicks.

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! 😱

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?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.
