  - Thanks. But looking for a work safe version so hence the request for the TV version which I'm guessing has an entertaining overdub to make it OTA ok -- nm - JD Jul 3, 14:16 1
    - safe version of Pulp Fiction must be a short movie :) -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jul 3, 14:17

Should I be worried that for the last week the MTA has been removing asbestos from the Subway station I live above? - Krusty Jul 3, 13:45 19
- As long as the bags stay closed and they've set up the remocal right. - the liioulu ithout a w Jul 3, 13:59
- Thanks guys. Asbestos freaks me out a bit. - Krusty Jul 3, 13:54
- i dont think there is a lot of risk really, its probably very well sealed and such. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 3, 13:51
- in theory, they should have removal process and technology that minimizes the asbestos going airborne -- nm - charlie Jul 3, 13:47

  - well this isn't on the level of having his garbage pickup cut to one day a week -- nm - charlie Jul 3, 13:48 12
    - and, as we found out yesterday, Krusty has a LOT of garbage -- nm - peglegpete Jul 3, 13:49 11
      - Heh. Is three bags a week a lot? - Krusty Jul 3, 13:50 10
        
        its just me, but i maybe fill 1 bag 2/3 of the way a week - tRuMaN Jul 3, 13:51 6
        
        My recycling I only need to dump every other week. - Krusty Jul 3, 13:52 5
        
        do you get a lot of takeout? -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 13:53 4
        
        Nearly none. We cook almost all of our food. - Krusty Jul 3, 13:55 3
        
        I seem to generate more trash when I cook, oddly. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 13:57 2
        
        Huh. Once I start composting it should be much less since there won't be anymore food in the trash. -- nm - Krusty Jul 3, 13:59
        
        Makes sense - more leftover ingredients, peelings, food wrappings, etc -- nm - Roger More Jul 3, 13:58
        
        just regular kitchen bags? or big black bags? -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 13:51 2
        
        Regular white kitchen bags. -- nm - Krusty Jul 3, 13:51 1
        
        I do one big black bag a week; it tends to contain five or six white bags, half of which are cat litter. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 3, 14:03

  - ahem, NY pizza trumps NY steak. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 13:35
- D, C? -- nm - b. Jul 3, 13:29 27
  - This is correct (loosi got D right, Tru got the second C right) -- nm - Roger More Jul 3, 13:33 26
    - If C was on it, they'd just be pandering. - spamlet Jul 3, 14:04
    - I was about to add that poi might be "the best" at representing; but, lo, it being the best tasting is another thing, esp. the fermented variety -- nm - b. Jul 3, 13:36 1

      - Who puts onions on a Beef sandwich? I think they got the picture wrong. -- nm - spamlet Jul 3, 14:05 1
        
        Not entirely sure that's a pic of an Italian Beef. No giardiniera. -- nm - the liioulu ithout a w Jul 3, 14:11
      - Fried Cheese Curds?! At least it's cheese. - the liioulu ithout a w Jul 3, 13:38
      - Pastrami? Okay. I would have guessed pizza but pastrami is good choice. -- nm - Krusty Jul 3, 13:36 18
        
        how do you pick? there's also bagels, hot dogs, Manhattan clam chowder. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 13:37 17
        
        Manhattan clam chowder is the tomato-based one, right? - kelly Jul 3, 13:45 6
        
        yes. on the base. -- nm - peglegpete Jul 3, 13:50
        
        Both of them come from RI, IIRC. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 13:47 4
        
        Manhattan could be from both. It was made both here and there and there's no proof of where it was invented first. - Krusty Jul 3, 14:06 3
        
        wiki says it was originally done by Portuguese in Rhode Island, and it was given the "Manhattan" name as an insult -- (link) - Roger More Jul 3, 14:08 2
        
        This article says mid 1800's by Italians and Portuguese in NY and R.I. -- nm - Krusty Jul 3, 14:15 1
        
        Oops. Linky... -- (link) - Krusty Jul 3, 14:15
        
        Bagels and hot dogs are great choices as well. I've never had clam chowder but my understanding is N.E. is much better. - Krusty Jul 3, 13:39 9
        
        Chicago Red Hots are better. -- nm - the liioulu ithout a w Jul 3, 13:43 6
        
        Too much stuff on those. It's like a salad on a hot dog. - Krusty Jul 3, 14:01 5
        
        Garden in a bun. And you don't have to put them all on at once. As long as you don't put ketchup on your dog. - the liioulu ithout a w Jul 3, 14:08 4
        
        The usual toppings like pepperoni or sausage but rarely do people get a lot of toppings. - Krusty Jul 3, 14:14 3
        
        We usually get one topping beside the sauce and cheese. Even on the deep dish. And ketchup on a dog? Yuck. -- nm - the liioulu ithout a w Jul 3, 14:23 2
        
        I was agreeing with you about the ketchup. Never! I only use mustard. -- nm - Krusty Jul 3, 14:27 1
        
        Aah,, got it. Misread that. Sorry. And mustard for me. Along with onions and tomatos. -- nm - the liioulu ithout a w Jul 3, 14:28
        
        manhattan isn't really from NY anyway. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 13:43 1
        
        See above, it might be. Hard to know where it started first. -- nm - Krusty Jul 3, 14:06

Waitwaitwait...*15* beers were ranked worse than Natty Light? - kelly Jul 3, 13:13 6
- znu made the list! -- nm - Spawn Jul 3, 13:15
- the list is absurd -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 13:14
- Ha! Right? -- nm - Krusty Jul 3, 13:13 3
  - When we spread my dad's ashes last Christmas, we all did this little ritual to "honor" him. We opened a Natty Light and had a sip; we ate some - kelly Jul 3, 13:17 2
    - Cool story and it's too bad he didn't drink something even a little bit better tasting. - Krusty Jul 3, 13:21 1
      - That's pretty much why he drank it, I think. - kelly Jul 3, 13:23

        a lot of DC folks stay away from the Mall like the plague. it's all out of towners. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 13:12
      - DCers have too much spite for government and lack of representation to be patriotic. -- nm - Max Jul 3, 13:10 3
        
        it's all your fault -- nm - charlie Jul 3, 13:12
        
        Actual DCers, yes. But DC is a place where people go to act patriotic. - loosilu Jul 3, 13:11 1
        
        Right. -- nm - Krusty Jul 3, 13:12
    - I would definitely say that I would have included Knoxville and any number of other Southern cities on the list if I had been guessing. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 3, 13:09 5
      - Sure but no D.C. or Boston? It should be about 50/50 north/south but I was guessing it was using something weird to come up with the cities. - Krusty Jul 3, 13:12 4
        
        my issue is more using foursquare check-ins to gauge, well, anything. starting with a select set - people who use it, and how narrow a range that - b. Jul 3, 13:23 3
        
        note: that's 30M users worldwide, not just US. heh. -- nm - b. Jul 3, 13:25
        
        True. But I will say that I still like these lists. I enjoy the guessing and discussion afterwards. -- nm - Krusty Jul 3, 13:24 1
        
        I appreciate that, I just like more scientific unless it's something that's just polled. -- nm - b. Jul 3, 13:31
