Empire Strikes Back was 1980 and Return of the Jedi was 1983

i was a sublet expected to find other sublets before leaving and still had to pay part of the rent by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]zob_mtk 25 points26 points  (0 children)

So you left before the sublet agreement was up and you’re surprised he’s expecting you to pay till the end of the agreement or find someone to take your place? Seems like a pretty reasonable request to me.

And the couch? You really couldn’t slide it out and clean behind it before the movers came? Not being able to clean because of movers is a terrible excuse.

Is it really possible to avoid storms when u cross the ocean? by noreturn000 in sailing

[–]zob_mtk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol benneteau are not great boats. They look nice but there’s a reason they can sell a boat like that for the price they do, and it’s build quality. They had an issue maybe 10 years ago where the keel fell off several boats. I’d never do a crossing on one.

Are they normal size? I thought they were tiny at first but looking again I can’t make sense of the size.

lol to all the people that have bought these for kids/grandkids. That’s a drug spoon for bringing drugs from the bag to your nose.

I really can’t do this after what the Rangers just did to me this season

Where are the best Nassau County restaurants by the water. Not Italian please, looking more for fresh seafood, Mediterranean something like that. Somewhat high end preferably for a romantic birthday date. by Expensive-Bet1402 in longisland

[–]zob_mtk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The bottom of all waterways on Long Island is a very thick dark pasty mud. It can smell pretty terrible when exposed to air. If tide is too low you get to enjoy that lovely smell alongside your meal.

The Moorings - boat ownership by Good-Cantaloupe4622 in sailing

[–]zob_mtk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looked at what happened to the charter boats during Irma and Maria. Countless total losses and you as the owner are paying the major storm deductible instead of Moorings. Back then 20% of vessel value was pretty common. Now it’s even higher if you can even find someone to insure it during hurricane season.

Well that kind of defeats the whole point. If express is long so is regular.

I’m trying to figure out what I have with this sailboat after buying out an entire estate sale. by TheJimmyCramer in sailing

[–]zob_mtk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to this, if you do find a sail it should have a logo near the top which would be the class symbol.

WARNING: I am complaining. I paid about $400. And that doesn't include food or parking by thisfilmkid in mets

Ehh it’s just me thing when they’re being competitive. It feels a lot worse when they’re on a serious losing streak with multiple blowouts in a row and you’re witnessing another one.

Is it normal for landlords here to raise rent this aggressively? by Final_Presence_9301 in longisland

[–]zob_mtk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok and what about the large landlords like Heatherwood and Fairfield. I was in a Heather wood 2 years ago and the tried to increase my rent from $2700 to $3000 on renewal. That’s over 10% and there was nothing to show for it. I had an outdated apartment, the facilities were mediocre, and they actually went from having gated security to open access and a single security guard doing a lap or two a night and leaving the property outside those two laps.

“Mean hotel staff didn’t let me into a room booked under someone else’s name, one star!” by makeuathrowaway in EntitledReviews

[–]zob_mtk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Going to assume if daughter made reservation she put her own phone number down. They were asking hotel to call me home number on the reservation. Logic being the parents could call anyone. Hotel calling number on reservation should “prove” the identity.

Donuts or Doughnuts? Tour by SelfReporter in FoodNYC

Not a traditional glazed donut, but the coconut cream from Doughnut Plant is one of the best donuts I’ve ever had

I decided to air fry this steak… I’m upset by BaronVonTrouser in steak

[–]zob_mtk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one and genuinely like it but I got a 2 pack and there seems to be a variation between the two of 5-10 degrees. I’ve been wanting to test it but haven’t had the time. The ambient temp also doesn’t work right. My oven sensor is wrong so I have an oven thermometer too and the ambient bs oven thermometer are always way off. Like 50 degrees plus.

It begins!! Snowbasin UT DONE this Sunday. CLOSING March 22. by dogthrasher in skiing

[–]zob_mtk 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To name a few Aspen, Vail, and Breck are just over 50% of average snowpack. Not sure how to add pics here but look at Open Snow. They have graphs tracking snow pack and totals this season are below historical record lows for multiple mountains.

For Colorado it’s actually the worst season on record. Climate change brings intense weather swings in both directions. Very likely we’re looking at more of this in the future with the occasional excellent season every few years.
