    michelin has a weird thing with asian restaurants.  and by weird thing i mean their ratings are puzzling and inconsistent compared to western cuisine so they're not seen as the definitive arbiter of quality for asian restaurants as they are others.

     

     

    Gotcha and you're so spot on with the Asian restaurants. I went to another one in Manhattan that was a Viet place. I can think of any hole in the wall places in Houston that would blow it out of the water.

    you named a 3 star restaurant considered for a long time to be one of the best in the world.  way to take a stance.  

    Oy, not trying to be too argumentative... but this is a 1 star place I went to last year was really good but obviously subjective to me, not head and shoulders above dai due or Odd duck https://guide.michelin.com/us/en/new-york-state/new-york/restaurant/joomak-banjum

    That's all. 

  3. I don’t think most will disagree with your desire to move things forward. It’s challenging to do so when we fail to acknowledge and study our history though. Rather than say sweep it under the rug (not saying that’s what you’’re advocating for) and just proclaim let’s move forward! Especially when some of the inherent disadvantage for Black Americans and other minorities are still baked into some of our institutions.

    So am I a MAGA-tard if I just wanted the 9ers to win because I’m sick of the chiefs, don’t like mahomes, don’t like Kelce or Swift, and like watching football games without seeing or hearing about someone watching from the press box every 10 seconds? From reading this thread I guess I am.

    Think for yourself?

    I love how teams can’t really score all game and then run a beautiful 2 minute drill for all the marbles. Or crabby patties.

    Gotta get to that pineapple line for the first down!

  6. I can only imagine the cognitive conflicts going through one of my classmates mind. Very wealthy Latino entrepreneur from Edinburgh that told me he supports Abbott’s bussing programs but at the same time he also volunteers at local nonprofits that helping these migrants. Guy is proud of the valley going purple. I get the Democrats were corrupt in that area but  supporting Maga types confuses me.

    The other opens a pandora's box.

    It's quite probable that everything has unintended consequences. But if you subscribe to some form of making our instituions or society more antifragile... you kinda gotta do it and let it heal and get stronger. Not disagreeing with some of your points either.
