4/7     Where can you get good food for $10? I went to an Italian restaurant
        last night. Pizza/pasta was only $13 or so, but with an appetizer and
        dessert the meal was over $50 (no drinks, 17% tip). And it was ok food,
        with homemade gnocchi but didn't taste like anything that you couldn't
        make at home with a little effort. No comparison to actual good Italian
        restaurants (e.g. Bar Bambino, Delfina, SPQR) that are in the $30-50/pp

4/3     A few days back someone was advocating going to good restaurants over
        saving money.  I'm curious, I've never been to a really expensive
        restaurant. (Over $30 per person.)  In general I've found that once I
        get beyond about $10 the food doesn't get any better, instead I start
        paying for stuff I don't care about, like "atmosphere."  Which
        basically means I've rarely been to a restaurant where the food

11/8    There it is, 9 dog breeds that bite the most. Boy, I hate dogs. I
        hate CHOW CHOWS esp., they're stupid and unlike many other dogs
        they'll bite without warnings. Chow chows are fit to be eaten
        but not fit as human companions.                -i hate dog troller

11/8    Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. Worth it or overrated?
        \_ Went there once.  It was truly horrible.  My steak was bad.  My
           wife's steak was worse.  It was a celebration event for her sister
           so we didn't ask if her's was bad too.
        \_ For a chain steakhouse, I like Morton's better.  For a local
           high end one, I like the Harris Restaurant on Van Ness.  For

10/10   I'm in my 30s and I'm finding that I'm unable to eat In & Out
        burgers & soda & frys & shakes without feeling really really
        lousy within an hour or two. Has anyone noticed your ability to
        digest unhealthy comfort food decrease as you age?      -30s man
        \_ I think it's a good thing.  Your body is telling you that
           you no longer need these extra fat/sugars.  The wise thing to do

7/14    Woman Killed by Her Own Pet Dog. Chow chows rule.
        http://www.topix.net/content/ap/2007/06/woman-killed-by-her-own-pet-dog
        \_ Clearly, she did not establish herself as the alpha.
           \_ Chow chows and chow mixes do not enjoy being beta.
           \_ While this is true, chow chows are independent and aloof
              and behave like cats. They're not your usual dog breeds that
