(grats, been there, I hope it feels amazing and liberating)

Fallom posted:I haven’t really been able to find good Mexican in Denver. Everybody acts like hole-in-the-wall joints are supposed to all be amazing but my experience hasn’t been great. Tamayo was okay for a trendy spot. I went to Santiagos at the corner of 6th and Santa Fe which was infinitely better. Highlights of the week were the Hot Toddy I had at Denver Biscuit Company whilst sick and the brunch at Snooze who hooked me up because it was my birthday. I spent so much damned money on food that week.

Vasudus posted:For a number of years I wanted to open a very small sandwich shop that only did breakfast and lunch when I retired. Small like, three tables for people to sit while waiting and a counter. Do breakfast sandwiches from like, 7-10, lunch from 10-2 and then close. I told this to a guy at a project workshop at work and it turns out he did a bunch of financial planning / accounting for small businesses like that and he told me all about the hidden costs nobody expects or how much capital you actually need to invest etc. It was more than enough for me to go 'eh....gently caress it' I worked in downtown Harrisburg, PA last year and there are two such places like you mention (well I think both places have 7 tables, but still). Both are only open for lunch. Both are within a 5 minute walk of the Capitol building. The one is a burger/cheesesteak place that is locally beloved, and the other is a deli place that typically have 6 staff for lunch, but does catering to the Capitol building. I miss being able to walk to both places dearly. But both struck my as very clearly understanding the goalposts they had to hit to remain viable.

So yes, I was referencing the 2012 Honda ad. Also, I don't know if it's just me, but Ive now watched Gravity several times at this point, and even though I know exactly what's going to happen, my rear end in a top hat puckers for basically the remainder of the movie the first time Ed Harris goes from witty banter to Serious Mission Control Voice at the begining of the movie.

Fun part of that is its basically Funland if you've got 4WD/AWD for 3 or 4 days after the snowstorm. Also how I know if you have an Impreza, 4" on the road is your limit mate.

Y'all landowners that can keep two sets of tires go nuts, I'll be happy over here with my All-Seasons thaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks. I don't care about the market descriptions of the tires, I know the practical limitations of the tires I have via practice. I also know via practice they work better than summer tires in the snow, and I know that they have lower rolling resistance than snow tires. Its not about one being superior to the other, I'm just not swapping out tires twice a year and am looking for a happy medium.

Duzzy Funlop posted:If you don't have a garage to keep a separate set of tires, that's fine, and I don't know where you live, so you might be perfectly fine with all-season tires, but if you live somewhere where you probably should have winter tires, you're buying convenience for something you do twice per year at the cost of safety for an entire season, with pretty much zero financial benefit considering wear and viable life of the tires. Oh by all means, I live in the mid-atlantic and can get away with such things and was definitely just speaking for myself. You're right though. Common knowledge in the US is pretty stupid in general.

psydude posted:Not sure where you live in the Mid-Atlantic, but where I live in MD gets pretty damned cold at certain points of the winter. I'll concede that having a house definitely makes storing a spare set of wheels way easier, though. I live in Harrisburg, it snows like 5 times a year and everything closes anyways. With all-seasons and a Subaru I don't even have to flinch if its less than 4" and the plows haven't been out.

Brute Squad posted:On an unrelated note, drove past a smoking car on the side of the road with 4 firefighters prying off the hood. Then I saw the flames coming out of the tire wells. I was inspecting a bridge like three years ago and watched a Ford Ranger pull up and go from "a little smoke coming out the hood" to "burnt to the axle". It was fascinating.

Ex finally (mostly) moved out yesterday. Decided to call my mom about 2 hours later, only to find out that my grandma is about to punch out it sounds like. Thinking I might take the day off. Also got six inches of snow last night and really don't want to brush off my car.

I think all of the Marvel movies rank a solid 6-8 on the "A-Team Scale of Rewatchibility" with "He's trying to fly the tank" as a 10 and Schindler's List as a 0. My opinion on which one I like the most depends on my mood honestly. I probably like Thor 2 least I guess.

I meant more the removal of the entire row. Kitty Hawk had just been decommissioned when I was there (2009?). Ranger, Independence, and Constellation were all docked as well. Wikipedia tells me that they all got towed to Texas in 2015.

I did that drive (not all the way to Neah Bay) around the peninsula about a month after I bought my Subaru. I stayed in Port Angeles overnight and the weather was like 75/sunny both days. Hope to do it again one day.
