Dear Bernie, you're running for the *democratic* party nomination, guy -- nm - the brain Apr 6, 21:18
I enjoyed season one of Hap and Leonard. Hopefully, there will be a season two. -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 20:58 3
- We stumbled across the end of an episode of that the other night and had no idea what was happening. - David Apr 6, 21:06 2
  - I'd totally forgotten about The Philanthropist. I thought of it as Marc Antony and Omar. As for your question, very minor spoils - crash davis Apr 6, 21:10 1
    - Exactly what leads up to that? - David Apr 6, 21:19
Seen on Twitter: There are enough restaurants in New York City to try a new restaurant every night for 50 years and never visit the same place twice.. - Walt_Disney Apr 6, 20:28 38
- Yeah, but then you'd have to eat NYC pizza. -- nm - David Apr 6, 20:41 22
  - one slice at any joint with Rays in their name, negates 99% of the pizza places -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 6, 21:08
  - Giant, floppy, pizza. -- nm - Qale Apr 6, 20:52 20
    - I keep a list and I'll get even with all of youse. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 20:53 19
      - Did you say youse? -- nm - Remlik Apr 6, 20:58 6
        
        Resolution: read all Krusty's posts in the voice of Sal from Futurama -- nm - Roger More Apr 6, 21:01 2
        
        Sal? -- nm - amoxy Apr 6, 21:18 1
        
        Sal's pizzeria is where Fry used to work. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 21:20
        
        No, I typed it. - Krusty Apr 6, 21:00 2
        
        heh I was trying to get you to quote My Cousin Vinny! -- nm - Remlik Apr 6, 21:05 1
        
        I'm slow. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 21:10
      - Why can't I go a day without making someone's revenge list??? -- nm - David Apr 6, 20:57 11
        
        You should know better. I expect that comment from Groiny, not you. And then you got Qale to go along with you. - Krusty Apr 6, 20:59 10
        
        You misunderstood me. I like big and floppy. -- nm - Qale Apr 6, 21:16 1
        
        I'll show you something big and floppy. - Krusty Apr 6, 21:19
        
        I don't even have a dog in the pizza fight since I'm not a fan as a rule. I just like to wind everybody up. - David Apr 6, 21:04
        
        Thinking back you were wrong this morning too. You're not having a good day. - Krusty Apr 6, 21:03 6
        
        Bagels are only for people who lack access to donuts. -- nm - David Apr 6, 21:05 5
        
        I like those as well but donuts go terrible with cream cheese. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 21:10 4
        
        Everything goes terrible with cream cheese. -- nm - David Apr 6, 21:19
        
        and lox -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 6, 21:13 2
        
        Worst donut ever. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 21:17 1
        
        agreed -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 6, 21:18
- 18,250 restaurants? Hmm. Does that count chains? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 20:38 12
  - More like 24,000 according to the Board of Health. So, 65 years. I assume it counts chains. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 20:42 10
    - Taking out chains would lower it but that tweet probably isn't far off. Shouldn't count chains since it's the same food just a different location. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 20:44 8
      - I'd guess the board of health also counts bodegas with a grill for egg sandwiches. Are those really dinner places? -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 21:14 3
        
        And some places are only open for breakfast and lunch. -- nm - Meg Apr 6, 21:16
        
        also, they probably also have to certify carts and trucks, just guessing though -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 21:15 1
        
        I don't know if those are counted separately or not. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 21:30
      - Yeah, chains should be collapsed into a single entity. I've been considering this for my grubthing site. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 20:49 3
        
        Though everyone who's been to, say, more than one KFC knows that there are good KFCs and bad ones. - Roger More Apr 6, 20:55 1
        
        Good point, except for choosing kfc as the example. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 21:00
        
        Might be a good call. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 20:50
    - That sounds about right. Greater Victoria is about 2,000 food facilities, so ~1200 restaurants -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 20:43
  - Tweet did not say -- nm - Walt_Disney Apr 6, 20:41

        No, too phallic. - Spawn Apr 6, 20:11 1
        
        that's why Bacon likes it in the can. -- nm - Remlik Apr 6, 20:17

  - More trees, less density, different more directed lights. -- nm - nic to be determined Apr 6, 20:11
  - It's a difference in street lighting. The city still uses sodium-vapor street lights, while the suburbs have been converting to LED lights. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 6, 19:23
  - oh, I think I see what you are looking at. Looks very vaguely shaped like TX? - ty97 Apr 6, 19:07 3
    - Yeah, I thought it was an x shape that had been drawn over it but could just be the airport. -- nm - iSpam Apr 6, 19:09 2
      - That's in the city. A few suburbs might be orange but that looks like the sodium vapor lights do a pretty good job of deliniating the city. -- nm - nic to be determined Apr 6, 20:17
      - Midway is effectively a square, but I guess based on direction it could look more like a diamond/X -- (link) - ty97 Apr 6, 19:11
