J. Dock,
Congrats on sounding like you get news from television!

And if you aren't eating? Eating is cheating after all.

I have had 15 stars of michelin in my life. Worst one was guy Savoy at Caesars palace (2 stars). Of course it was comped. Joel Rubochon was very good though. Comped also of course, even though the tip still makes it pricey.

In general it's not my thing. I think it's a ripoff. But I have found the cheaper places tend to have solid value. For example I went to a Chinese soya chicken spot that has one michelin star, and my meal was $3!!!!! So I got a pork meal too for another $4. Really went wild for $7. Another of my favorite spots Is a Spanish guy who had a star in spain and came down to Panama. $50 per person. I like this guy.

I like meats, some veggies, and desserts. And the rumors are not true, I love massive portions. So some of these restaurants are automatically out. I really want the three star Japanese in New York because my sister loves Japanese also, but fack that I am going to be starving after spending $1000.

I couldnt imagine eating at the finest restaurant in the world, blasting $500 on myself, and the whole menu being vegan!! Wat the fack is that? Sigh, idiot. Or going to a Michelin restaurant and getting faded off three bottles of wine. Sigh, donk alert.

Most everything in life is a ripoff, including the whole concept of michelin. It's a good thing the new online ratings stuff makes them less powerful.

I did start cooking recently. I think it's a plus EV move for me, since the 22 year old don't cook. It's going to be a long road. I am on omelettes at the moment. Not a fan of the classic french omelette, like country style much better. But obviously I am messing up the French omelette.

Goal is to get as good as Monte. If that's enough for that goofy tall to not lose dem big teddies to a hairier more jacked version of himself, that's good for me. Too alpha as fack to get really good at it, but alas I am on to retirement so you never know.

Sorry, "comped-casino-steaks ego club"

What if you like eating vegan though

What

Then

That's all I can think of. Soulman was waiting years to get into Noma and they finally told him there was an opening on vegan night. So he said fack it and took it. $500 down the drain.

D. Jock,
Maybe you should go post in the politics fora here!

Re: Chicago, if you're actually serious or interested (but I know you aren't): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/..._Second_Ghetto

My favorite taco spot got a different meat (only birria, asada, carnitas) previously. Now they have suadero



I was disappointed at first because this guy didn't stuff like normal. Normally these things are monstrous but today I was able to eat them with one tortilla each. They still bigger than my hand. But I kinda liked the one tortilla taco.

I would love to see that battle, taco vs burger. It's close, but these bad boys come in at $1.25 a pop. Winner? TACO!!!! Ruling final.

What an interesting use of parentheses.

You're right I am not serious or interested and I can't really even read 9.9%er to be honest with you, some sort of optical block idk - but I am seriously interested in good internet tricks! Like putting mayo on something just to make someone write paragraphs on how they too have gone to a good restaurant before. It's... k. Mostly sad though. (I mean me.) Some posters are Deeply Unhappy, I guess. K.

ETA: sigh saved the article anyway for the inevitable plane to somewhere, thx

I am guessing loco will feign indignation but secretly masturbate to that pic.

I thought it was interesting, Mysterious Stranger Kelhus.

Oh MY GOD that looks fantastic!!!

While this role playing game is interesting and all, the jdock99 user account has no infraction points or user notes and isn't banned, at least not as far as I'm aware. So, outside of the fact that the goodwill that our mysterious stranger may have built up in Sports Betting, SE, and Politards through various gimmicks probably has shortened his leash to effectively zero wrt hot takes in those areas, these sorts of wink wink references aren't strictly necessary, even if they are a local meme at this point.

:Thumb: nice!

I'm going to need eight paragraphs of commentary, with feeling, before I wake up or my ban finger might start getting itchy.

Hmmm let me see if I can formulate a response:

1. No, it's not "literally the same as drinking a drunk man's piss"

2. Da fuq you need an elephant for?

3. If anything chilling expensive wine means I'm not part of the caste you refer to as "the poors" I mean ffs your reading comprehension is abysmal.

Let me show you the gif form of this response for future use:



Oh is that who it is? I was thrown off because the Aspect-Emperor of the Three Seas belongs to a completely different fantasy world than Malazan.

FWIW I wouldn't use a minor technicality to urge him out of H&F's permaban sanctuary. He is clearly ban on sight in a lot of places despite one of his accounts having no infraction points or user notes. I don't think I've ever used either of those for someone I banned.

FWIW I didn't eat anything before going to Noma nor anything after that day. Stuffed. Also my general experience with fine dining, with like one exception.

"The rate of single parenting is in turn the single most significant predictor of social immobility across counties, according to a study led by the Stanford economist Raj Chetty."

Nothing else needs to be said. Frivorce is a ****ing disaster for society. Widepsread out of wedlock births are even more disastrous. Both are the fault of a broken legal system and a broken culture. Feminists can claim most of the responsibility for breaking both. I've posted on this ad-nauseam over the last 5 years and there is scant evidence contradicting these claims and tons of evidence in favor. The people do not want 8 paragraphs of long-winded commentary.

Although to be even-handed, the jerks on the right who want to restrict abortion rights are of course fueling the problem of out-of-wedlock births so we can't just say "it's cuz feminism".

Well it is the middle of winter, so if I wait for just the right moment, the temperature may dip below 18 deg and I'll be able to properly decant my wine!

Using the balcony for proper wine temperature titration is an A+ strategy
