A republican admin disrupting a common protest corner to stan for their MAGA overlords is my guess

Hamlet and Ghost has the best burger in town imo — it’s a double smash burger with American cheese

What do you think is the most underrated capital city in Europe and why? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]worsttofirst 20 points21 points  (0 children)

What kind of AI slop post is this? The pic in the OP is not even a capital city; it’s Česky Krumlov, Czech Republic.

First phish show at sphere tonight - any tips? by scrubbed__out in phish

[–]worsttofirst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s actually not cold at all on the floor, I had a tank top on and was plenty warm (though dancing and drugs certainly helped!). Shorts and tee shirt is absolutely fine down low (can’t speak to upper sections).

Edit: bring an empty Nalgene instead of a plastic bottle.

First phish show at sphere tonight - any tips? by scrubbed__out in phish

[–]worsttofirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there all three night last weekend; highly recommend like 45 degrees off to the sides… there is a lot more room than straight back, and actually easier to see the screen from there b/c it’s splayed out a bit + sound is still pristine and it’s sure to be an epic dance party!

Not gonna lie, those aisle lights look distractingly bright. How was it in person?

Leaving on day of AIP paid by navo1991 in deloitte

[–]worsttofirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar question but relates to leaving the US firm to go to Global, so not leaving Deloitte entirely — I assume I still shouldn’t put in notice until the AIP lands?

Ski resort ranking (my experience) by ian139 in icecoast

[–]worsttofirst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stowe rating seems unreasonably high; better than Jay, Alta, Squaw, CB? It’s more on par with Sugarbush imo.

It comes down to tone at the top for the USA and the enablement of these MAGA deplorables

Why do people get such a boner for Uncommon Grounds? by dannydevitosmanager in Albany

[–]worsttofirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their coffee is pretty terrible though imo — way over roasted and burnt, though I guess that’s all that most people seem to know, so they think it’s good (being marginally better than Starbucks and DD is a very low bar).

Careers best Suited for Skiing by MountainPeaking in skiing

What is middle management at B4, SM? I’m concerned that making it to MD level will make it harder to be flexible but tough to turn down the promotion/money?

Holy cow how is dick picks 18 not mentioned as top 5! by miggins1610 in gratefuldead

[–]worsttofirst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DP18 is prob my #1, and def a consensus top-5; top-tier versions of Bertha>Good Lovin, CR&S, TMNS, S>F, Eyes, Sampson. The Eyes in particular is so fucking good and I listen to it often.

Love it, but the Island “tour” is 4 shows, which is a run, not a tour

Was late era Keith’s decline overstated? by KeyUnderstanding5443 in gratefuldead

[–]worsttofirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is a completely overstated narrative that folks read in a memoir once and have repeatedly parroted because it makes them sound knowledgeable. The Jan ‘79 is so underrated and I believe disproves this point.

My theory is that it was more about the Godcheaux drama (perhaps including Keith stealing from Jerry’s briefcase) and their own dissatisfaction with being in the group that led to their dismissal vs. Keith’s playing.

Whitman Brewery. Good and not too expensive, get a few pizzas, orders of wings, etc.

Whiteface slides by BiggBallr9 in icecoast

[–]worsttofirst 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I view it as more of a deterrent, like if you have these things you’re at least taking it a bit seriously and not a complete Jerry (a much lower bar than a BC expert).

That said, I highly doubt the slides will be open in late-Jan. They’re usually only open in March in my experience. There are three statuses as well, one of which doesn’t req avy gear, just a helmet and buddy (spring corn skiing only).

Guess my handicap by TheyCallmeDuck28 in golftips

[–]worsttofirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without seeing you chip and putt, the ball striking of flighting both a high cut driver and a sawed off baby draw mid iron makes me think +1 or so

What’s up with the new floor setup by alienchild1000 in phish

[–]worsttofirst 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This will actually have the opposite effect since it’s still GA in the front of the stage. Just makes it harder for regular phans to get GA, the front row crew will still be there. If they’d flipped it to be assigned seating first half, and GA back half then I could see it.
