        I get it, I like Wendy's. But right now they're doing fine and so many places are hanging on by the thinest of margins. I'd much rather people - Krusty Apr 1, 08:22

Just got back from the cardiologist. Apparently I do actually have a heart, so that’s good. - znufrii Apr 1, 07:50 5

i had wondered why i have not been able to find sprouts of any kind (alfalfa, etc) for a while. we figured it was due to illnesses. - colin Apr 1, 07:49 8
- just do your own. we do. it is super simple. just make sure to rinse a couple times a day. you can have sprouts in 3 days. and lots of variety. -- nm* - Andie Apr 1, 08:02 1

  - Interesting, I thought there were only mussels. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 1, 08:18
- We used to grow our own when I was a kid. -- nm - znufrii Apr 1, 07:50 3
  - Not as a kid, but in the 70s :) Bean sprouts were big back then - along with macrame and chrocheted ponchos. -- nm - Meg Apr 1, 07:52 1
    - bean sprouts are still widely available for asian cooking.. i guess because those are farm/field grown it's got better control? -- nm - colin Apr 1, 07:53
  - we may give it a go... not that it's any safer, i suppose. i miss them on sandwiches. -- nm - colin Apr 1, 07:51

Today in Hockey class, I learned that AR & MO are allowed to have different measurements than LA, AL, MS & FL. Why? - crash davis Apr 1, 07:30 2
- Luckily you're down to that one last archaic measurement. -- nm - Reagen Apr 1, 07:35 1
  - Sarcasm is uncalled for in Hockey class! -- nm - crash davis Apr 1, 07:36
CY says his property manager's office is in the building where the shooting happened. Very little news has been released so far. - Meg Apr 1, 07:22 5
- :( -- nm - budice Apr 1, 07:38
- Hmm, gunman apparently locked the entrance to the building. Ex-employee? -- nm - Meg Apr 1, 07:26 3
  - From CY - "Unconfirmed report says it was a family counseling office. Man shot his wife, child, and two others." -- nm - Meg Apr 1, 07:31 2
    - so horrible. -- nm - Andie Apr 1, 07:37 1
      - I hate that my gut reaction was likely correct, guess it's the world we live in :( -- nm - Meg Apr 1, 07:55

  - Have you seen his wife's beaver? - Guigue Apr 1, 07:19
But then what are we going to do with 30,000 Nigerian Semiotics Majors? -- nm - Dano Apr 1, 07:06 1

This is quite the court case. Dude loses $200M playing the commodities market. Scams Tyson food out of $240M to cover losses using fake cows. - decline Apr 1, 07:00 8
- It took them four years to realise there were no cows. Four years. -- nm - mafic Apr 1, 07:04 5
  - The scammer was very mootivated. -- nm - ty97 Apr 1, 07:16 4
    - do you feel good about yourself for this? - Pippy Apr 1, 07:33 3

        snork! -- nm - Pippy Apr 1, 08:08

  - Someone didn’t septuple-check it. -- nm - znufrii Apr 1, 07:05

  - I'm gonna tell my mom you said that! You'll rue the day! - Max Apr 1, 07:17 2
    - 🤣😭 - Krusty Apr 1, 07:28
    - Rue the day? Who talks like that? -- nm - Baron on the Cairn Apr 1, 07:19

B2: FIL says the maple syrup is running so good this year he can barely keep up -- nm - Beaker Apr 1, 06:44
LIR: Now I'm torn. What do I do about Jollibee (?) :) Thanks ty/Krusty. Another option would of course be the Hyatt Place Times Square but - oblique Apr 1, 06:43 36
- Maybe Times Square is less sucky now during the pandemic. - Marlowe Apr 1, 06:54 3
  - It's a pocket hell dimension. -- nm - Reagen Apr 1, 07:04
  - It's quieter than normal times, but not abandoned like it was this time a year ago. -- nm - ty97 Apr 1, 06:58
  - It was very empty for a while but I looked at the cam the other night and on a chilly, rainy night there was a decent amount of people out. - Krusty Apr 1, 06:57
- The hotel is fine and you are right near subways and buses. I was just mentioning. -- nm - ty97 Apr 1, 06:50 14
  - So, better question then, what part of NYC would be best to stay in then all this considered? -- nm - oblique Apr 1, 07:07 13
    - Times Sq. is a fine area for being in the middle of things and having easy access to many subway lines to get you anywhere you want. - Krusty Apr 1, 07:12 12
      - This. -- nm - znufrii Apr 1, 07:16
      - For a quick tourist visit, Times Square/midtown is going to be better than Chelsea probably TBH. - ty97 Apr 1, 07:15 10
        
        Probably best for a quick tourist stop visit. -- nm - Krusty Apr 1, 07:25 9
        
        Cool. I found this. I think I might book it -- (link) - oblique Apr 1, 07:29 8
        
        I've stayed nearby the last time I was there and it was really convenient. - Marlowe Apr 1, 07:52
        
        Good spot. Short walk to the Empire State Building and the 34th St. station will have every train line you'd need to get you anywhere you'd want to go -- nm - Krusty Apr 1, 07:39
        
        Easy access to/from Newark since it's next to Penn. 1/2/3 trains right there. - ty97 Apr 1, 07:37 5
        
        I love the 1/2/3 for getting up and down the west side. -- nm - Krusty Apr 1, 07:41 4
        
        I'm sure I'll have more questions as we get closer to the trip about what I need to get around and get from Newark (seem straightforward) - oblique Apr 1, 07:47 3
        
        Newark is easy peasy. You take the airtran to the train station and there is a booth to buy tickets - decline Apr 1, 08:11 1
        
        They might have changed it but last I saw there was a $5 surcharge for buying tickets from the conductor on board. Should be vending machines there at the station. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 1, 08:15
        
        Ty will be helpful in giving you info about getting to NYC from Newark. I don't leave the city by plane. :-) - Krusty Apr 1, 07:58
- I implore you and anyone else that is going to visit our wonderful city to eat and shop at local restaurants and stores. Save the chains -- (edited) - Krusty Apr 1, 06:48 16
  - But what if I don't have a Jollibee where I live? -- nm - sycor Apr 1, 07:46 4
    - Get it another time. Right now they don't need the customers like other locally owned business do. They're going to open a huge store here soon - Krusty Apr 1, 08:07
    - Go to KFC. Or Popeyes. Or boil some spaghetti at home. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 1, 07:55 2
      - I honestly don't even know what Jollibee is so it was mostly a joke. -- nm - sycor Apr 1, 08:05 1
        
        Filipino fast food chain -- nm - Krusty Apr 1, 08:14
  - Jollibee sucks. I mean, it's like saying "go eat at KFC." -- nm - JaxSean Apr 1, 07:13 2
    - 👊🏼 -- nm - Krusty Apr 1, 07:42
    - *killfiled* -- nm - ty97 Apr 1, 07:14
  - is jollibee franchise or corporate-owned? -- nm - amanda jeans Apr 1, 06:51 1
    - The one we have is owned by the corporation from what I can tell. -- nm - Krusty Apr 1, 06:54
  - But...but...Jollibee! -- nm - ty97 Apr 1, 06:49 5
    - But...but...NYC businesses and people. Support local businesses. - Krusty Apr 1, 06:56 4
      - NYC people work at Jollibee! -- nm - ty97 Apr 1, 06:57 3
        
        I'm not going to do this right now. You know the difference between supporting a chain and local establishment. - Krusty Apr 1, 06:59
        
        (plus it's Manhattan, everything is corporate here) -- nm - ty97 Apr 1, 06:59 1
        
        That's so not true. -- nm - Krusty Apr 1, 06:59
Today is my brother's birthday. He is turning 52. You know what pic I sent him. -- (edited) - Baron on the Cairn Apr 1, 06:34 [Attachment] 1

Flyers were the Sabres' slump-buster after all, after 18 games. -- nm* - Reagen Apr 1, 06:31 1
