What can I use these ham drippings for? Besides red eye gravy. Can I use them to flavor a casserole or something? Perhaps something rice and veggies-ish.

The problem with this, as I see it: He may have a pinhole leak somewhere on the coil. Takes time ($) for a repair guy to locate and hopefully fix properly. Additionally, most fridges I've encountered aren't designed to be recharged. You have to add a self-piercing saddle valve, which carries its own risks of leaks down the road. Not saying it can't be done, but not necessarily as easy a choice to make.

It’s 15 years old and probably not a piece of poo poo like today’s fridges are.

This might be better off in the industry thread, but I'd like to hear some opinions.




Is this dress code racist?

I say no, but bouncers have a ton of leeway in how they enforce these things, so I can see the actions of the bouncers/maitre d/bartender being totally racist, ie, letting white guys slide but being extra strict with black people.


But I really don't feel that the dress code itself is racist: it defines itself as "Upscale Business Casual", and then lists a long list of things that are clearly not Business Casual. I like that we have places that require you to dress up, and if you don't like it, you can go eat someplace else.

To me, the only part that looks like it could apply specifically to black people is "no oversized jewelry/chains ", but if you accept that, then "No Cargo Pants" & "No Camouflage" seem like they are aimed at white men?

I am NOT an apologist for racists, but I'm having a hard time seeing the racism inherent in this sign.

T-shirts and jeans are definitely not "upscale business casual," but they aren't on the list. Is this genuinely a "men must wear jackets" place or are some people allowed in in T-shirts or jeans, and who are they? Do hats (the hipster kind, not the goon fedora kind) count as "head gear" or is that just a dogwhistle way to say do rags?

I guess the big question is why do they feel the need to be so, so specific -- why can't they just say "business casual" or whatever they want the code to be. I think the answer is because they know the list will make """urban""" people feel unwelcome, and that's not a bug but a feature to them.

"No Head Gear" tips it as racist, or more generally bigoted. It's a nice carte blanche to go after anyone who wears head gear for religious reasons.

Also do rags as mentioned above.

Jeans and an oxford is about how nice you need to dress up for some good NYC restaurants IME

With how pretentious their website is and being in Jersey I'd say they're just tired of being in Jersey. Alternatively they are never full so can't just turn people away for that.

Ok, obviously I have no idea what constitutes "head gear". I assumed that that meant helmets or hard hats, to go along with no work boots. ie they didn't want guys working on a nearby construction site to stop in for lunch.

Yes, it absolutely is. The list is painting a picture of what stereotypically codifies as black (no oversized shirts, no head gear aka durags/headwraps, no 'work boots' aka timberlands, no low or baggy pants, etc) and completely ignores poo poo like "no skinny jeans" "no tshirts" "no sun dresses" "no flannel" "no denim jackets."

Like it's all well and good to say "hey i'm a white person and i don't mentally connect half these things with nonwhite groups" but the person who made that list does. That place is a piece of poo poo and that sign has me fuckin angry right now.

Yeah no. It's do rags.

The thing about codes like this is they don't exist in a vacuum. They are part of a tradition of bars/restaurants/clubs that have almost identical lists and are known for enforcing them unevenly, because the goal is not to keep out white men in fedoras, the goal is to keep out any black men even one notch below Carlton.

If you're a white guy seeing one for the first time, maybe your first thought is "aw cute it's like Mad Men cosplay, I like to act classy!" When ""urban"" people see these policies, it's not for the first time; they know even if they dress to fit them and even if they're allowed in, they aren't going to have a good time there.

"No Low or Baggy Pants" and "No Oversized Jewelry / Chains" is a dog whistle so loud as to induce deafness.

Well, I guess I'm not up on all of my racist dogwhistles. Referring to a do rag as "headgear" seems ludicrously oblique.
And Timberlands haven't been "workboots" for over 30 years now.

I guess the point is to give the bouncers as much leeway as possible to kick out any given person that they want to?

No, the point is to make black people uncomfortable enough that they don't even want to try to go inside. The point is racism not letting bouncers get choosy.

Where "any given person" is "someone a shade darker than a paper bag", yes.

These signs pop up now and then and almost go down as soon as they're noticed. Usually a combo of backlash, bad reviews tanking the review sites, and boycotts tend to end the policy super quick.

If a place says Upscale Business Casual Required, and then has to spell out on a loving plaque exactly what that is, that's obviously not the market they are attracting, or thinks their customers are stupid. I would refuse to eat anywhere like that. Dinner Jacket Required is one thing, but Must Be On An Office Expense Account is a whole nother classless piece of bullshit.

I did like the dress code that said "Only 1 TAPOUT branded shirt per party" though.

That's a good dress code.

More updates. I had my gender therapist appointment today, the first one at least. It went pretty good I think. I introduced her to new things, and she has some reading material now to learn more about, like, the big outside of furry thing that's a big part of me. And what helped me realized things. So, that's good. I have another appointment in a month. I was nervous, but it went well.
