  1. Just like Omega >> Breitling every day of the week, Toyota >> Honda every day of the week, and doubly so on weekdays. Comparing Swatch Group ownership to Partners Group ownership is insane, one is a watch company from day one, with serious watchmaking staff throughout every company under its umbrella, and one is an investment firm that just...bought a hygiene paper product company, sold a cloud software company, bought an energy infrastructure inspection company, sold part of a wind farm, and bought a biogas platform.
  2. I definitely don't need more chopsticks. And pretending they're guns or swords growing up as an Asian only happens once, then you get your ass beat and quickly learn never to do that.
  3. I'm at about 30% restaurants including it when I don't check it, so 130%?
  4. Couple of the food delivery apps have a specific check box to add utensils to order. I appreciate that, since I have no use for disposable utensils and really hate the plastic waste when they include them.
  5. Why don't we own #1 instead.
  6. Minus Color is only in theaters for a week, so move quickly if you want to see it.
  7. Those are actually zero opportunities.
  8. The MIM (Musical Instrument Museum) is still one of TripAdvisor top rated destinations in the entire US. The auditorium there is the best sounding room I've been in (this is not hyperbole), and they bring in a very diverse lineup of performers in all genres. Go see/hear a performance, it's truly a wonderful space. I donate every year and try to attend whenever I'm in town. The museum portion also curates some very neat exhibits for any music fan, often with some very significant instruments on loan from very famous musicians. It is also great for kids, many areas where you can play, touch, hear the instruments. Can't recommend it enough. Go.
  9. Slowly, after putting on the turn signal at least 300ft in advance and checking for traffic in the crossing lane.
  10. Also be aware that Joule Turbo up there is not actually more powerful, it just uses programming to run the heater slightly more when you first add food, trying to prevent the water temp drop from the cold food. It's large a marketing gimmick. All of the sous vide devices are limited by household wall current to 1500w output max.
  11. Buy the cheapest one you find unless you specifically want smart app functions. They're all roughly the same. I actually avoid the super fancy app ones now and prefer KISS with simple temp setting on the device, plug and go. The other thing is I prefer the stick circulators you place in a pot, vs the enclosure models that are their own container (look like a large rice cooker). The circulators you can swap containers to fit your food and can be used and transported easily. If you get serious, modify one of the flat ice chests to be your insulated bath.
  12. Yes, the reason is spite. Firefighters love when they get to do this and will take a bit of pleasure in fucking up the car just a bit more than absolutely necessary. And the Internet loves it too, so win-win.
  13. This has gotta be a humblebrag. There is so much more space for bottles and shit on that shelf.
  14. I still use the amenity bag I got on China Airlines 30yrs ago, so that piece of forever trash has gotten the most responsible lifespan ever. Their more recent ones are such cheap pieces of shit!
  15. Pro Tip: If you had a bidet, that would be enough for 2 large shits.
  16. I've used Alertus before, it does that and a lot more.
  17. I'm referring to Polaris. The off-plane experience is quite nice. New lounges are solid. The on-plane experience is such trash, seats are horrid, service and food are way behind.
  18. Discount tries very hard to match everyone else, if you take a price from somewhere to them, they usually will match it (total, with mount balance tax). And their service is way better than the Costco tire centers I've tried.
