I had a HS music flashback last night and I can't remember the group or song or anything but this: It was a hip-hop video from around 1990 with people riding skateboards in a pool. Somebody help me!

There's an Italian restaurant in just about every city in the world because Italians are ridiculously picky eaters who usually hate everything except (mama's) pasta. Thanks to the many waves of Italian immigrants who've set up businesses in all corners of the world, there's a ready supply of customers. Same thing with Irish pubs.

kimbo305 posted:Neither of those really cater to the home crowd, though. They are usually more gimmicky than authentic, particularly in the case of an Irish pub. When I had to entertain Italians in Dublin, after the 2nd day they wouldn't eat anywhere except Italian restaurants. It was bitch, bitch, bitch, moan, moan, moan until they found a place where they could abuse the guy because he didn't use the right olive oil. There are Irish pubs everywhere because of the huge Irish diaspora who want a familiar setting and also because a lot of places in France, Spain, Italy and Switzerland (to name a few) don't have a pub culture and serve beer in tiny wee glasses with stems, don't have darts or crisps, and certainly don't have Irish or British telly (for the sports, mostly).

kimbo305 posted:It reinforces my point -- Irish pubs in America are gimmicks for your evening entertainment. 99.9% of their patronage are Americans looking to drink Guinness in an environment with any shred of authenticity. They are not, like other ethnic restaurants, a place where those ethnicities might flock to eat home food. The original question was asking about places outside the USA, I mentioned several cities in Europe where I have been to Irish pubs and met quite a few Irish people (in fact I live next to one in Geneva). You're the one referencing the kiss-me-I'm-Irish gimmick capital of the world like it has any relevance to anything. Most Irish tourists or residents in the states will be perfectly comfortable with the drinking culture (it's borrowed heavily from Ireland's) so won't feel the need to go to an Irish pub except for early mornings in August and September for the GAA championships. Outside of most anglo cultures, the pub scene is significantly different and so there is a market in the Irish expat community for an Irish pub.

RaoulDuke12 posted:They get boring after a while (aside from the sexing. That doesn't take up all night generally though). At some point you've seen everything that's out, there's nothing on TV, etc. Have you tried sitting in a chair and finding fault with every single thing ever? Seriously though, you need to find something that really truly interests you and you alone and let your partner figure out what they like. It's not uncommon for 2 people in a relationship to be totally into completely different things. If you both meet halfway on something that's just OK for both of you then neither of you are really happy.

Samurai Sanders posted:My landlord is selling the building that I am living in soon. This has never happened to me before, what should I expect? Does the new landlord have any legal responsibilities to notify pre-existing tenants of anything? Is there anything keeping him from changing the rent suddenly or anything like that? I don't have a lease with the current landlord anymore, it is just month to month, can the new landlord impose a new lease on me? It depends on where you live as state, county and city laws will determine what the new owner can and can't do.

However, I'll have a stopover in South Africa, which has quite low restrictions on the amount of money you can take with you. If you don't have to go through customs/show your passport/have a visa then the restrictions shouldn't apply to you. Police in airports can always do whatever the gently caress they want though.

I've got a desktop and I just bought a new hard disk for it. There are only 2 places for hard disks in the case so I've replaced the secondary one. Now I want to replace the 80GB C drive with the 500GB drive I just took out. It's a bit old and I bought it refurbished so I don't have the xp install cds and I'd like to avoid that if possible anyway. Can I make an image of the 80GB drive, make an 80GB partition on the other one and just copy the image onto it? It sounds way too easy.

Is there a page where you can find whether a first name usually belongs to a man or a woman? I live in Europe now and I just have no clue when I receive emails how to reply. I felt like an rear end when I called Maxime Madame last week and now I'm a little stuck on Rudi (he's from the Netherlands, so he's most likely a guy right?). Now I'm just putting the names in GIS and seeing what comes up and I've also found this but does anyone know of something better?

But I'm not always writing in English or to native English speakers. It's totally unacceptable in many European cultures to address someone by their first name if you're sending work emails or writing complaint letters.

Jeffrey Colon posted:I bought a pair of Ray Bans about 3 months ago. Within a month of using them, both of the arms became so loose that they would close up with gravity alone. I tightened the screws with a screwdriver, but within a week they were loose again. Are they defective, or is this normal behavior? I normally wouldn't care about it, but if I'm paying $150 bucks for sunglasses, I expect them to be of perfect quality. I'm not sure if its worth going back into the store and trying to convince them to do something other than just tightening the screws for me. Ray Bans come with a one year warranty so if the store can't repair them to your satisfaction you should be able to get them relaced
