Some of the forty I'M guessing was equipment. Top dollar sushi making it yourself because my theory they make the ingredients you need much more expensive to make the sushi appear a good value. Don't even bother with fresh fish either because it's not and just thawed for you.

yes I had to buy everything.

10 pack of Nori $4.99
Bamboo roll $1.99
box of rice $6.99
I bought imitation crab $7.49
Rice vinegar $3.99 (did not use)
Sriracha $3.99
Sesame oil $2.99
Sesame seeds $2.99
avocado $.99
cucumber $.99

1 roll at supermarket is $4.99 and AYCE for lunch is $11.99 at local place. Obviosuly a great deal but that doesn't help me at night.

If I were to buy 10 rolls at supermarket it would be $50. I can make 10 rolls at home for about $20.00.

I forgot to use the sesame seeds on the rice so the rice was unseasoned. Overall it tasted pretty good.

My point is, if the rice is dominating, then eat something with less rice :)

I like the raw fish taste, but, for most fish, it is a very subtle flavor, so I completely see your point.

You could also eat more flavorful stuff. Uni is one of my favorites (it has absolutely no shelf life though, so eat it at a place where you know it will be fresh. Places that are very busy and pricy are good choices, particularly those places that tend to start running out of stuff at the end of the night)



Unis gross. It also doesn't even look appealing. It looks like poop on rice. I remember going to an all you can eat sushi place with a friend where you had to eat everything they brought you before they'd serve you something else. For the more expensive items like Uni they only brought out two pieces at a time. I eat the first one. It was gross. I say to my friend "that second one is all you buddy". He tries eating it. Next thing I know he's running off to the bathroom with his hand over his mouth.

I would not eat uni at an all-you-can-eat sushi place.

Again, NO shelf life. You need to be at a place that is expensive enough that they can throw away what they do not sell, instead of keeping it for an extra day. You most likely got served old uni, which is disgusting. There are just certain places that you don't order certain things. I'd suggest skipping the shrimp cocktail at the truck stop, too.

When I go out for sushi, I realize that I am paying not only for what I eat, but also for what they throw out (the freshness charge). For some things that is not critical; for uni it is.

Along with toro, it is my absolute favorite thing to get at a sushi place.

Uni is one of my favorite sushi. Of course everywhere you go they limit you to 1, also the ikura at some places.

In Japan you can order 100 yen/2 pieces on a conveyor belt inside the restaurant called Kaiten Sushi. It's pretty sweet because you don't have to order, just pull the plates off the belt, but if you can't find what you're looking for the chef can make it as well. Of course this isn't top shelf stuff (although they include uni) but it's a pretty nice place to sit down and eat lunch.

An excellent post. Its the same thing in a restaurant that refuses to keep a wine bottle open over night. The staff love it when they are able to down some fruity wine for free, but if a restaurant wants to avoid fruit flies or any other type of insect, they will have some very strict policies. And discerning customers will appreciate them.

Works with auto mechanics too. Want good service without rip offs? Go to the mechanic with the sign about "no paperwork, no estimates", you'll find him in a shop with lots of very expensive cars outside. Its the good mechanic who knows how expensive shortcuts or shoddy work can be for him. And someone driving a Morgan will deal with only fine mechanics so that is where to take your Ford.

As to the "two pieces of sushi" with each plate being served in a certain pre-determined order, I've been to places like that. Usually its not very great starting out and it does indeed deteriorate half way through the culinary "adventure''. Those places are not really worth it. They tend to be too marginal and are really too cheap to be any good.

Its like getting a cheapie annual inspection on a private plane: it can be a very expensive bargain!

You don't need to go all the way to Japan for Kaiten sushi. They have it around here too (in California, anyway). It seems that most of the place here that have it are what I would classify as "mid-end". As you say, not top shelf, but also not bad.

For me a sushi dinner is not complete without an order of toro and an order of uni.

I like the ones in Japan because they are 100 yen per plate, and my grandpa who is super thrifty enjoys finding little spots like this when I come around. I might have to put him to work at a casino when they open in Japan, he's got an AP mindset.

I used to get free flights because my grandma flys so often. I actually don't enjoy vacations, but really like staycations since I'm near home and can get a comp somewhere here in Las Vegas if need be.

I just checked out of a hotel in which I had a $50 dining credit, and found out I charged $49.50 over the course of the stay without keeping a tab. I also cashed out +$11 ahead of my freeplay.

Just took a gamble driving from Reno to Beatty (320 miles) without filling up once. I got to 30 miles out and my gas gauge was on E and I was almost resigned to walking to the gas station and back, which would have sucked at >10 miles, but I made it. It's hard to tell how much gas you actually have left on an older car.

Agreed it's not smart. All the debris such as rust in the tank goes into the engine. The tank should be half full all the time as a preventative measure.

The fuel pump is mounted in the tank and is kept cool by the gas. If the pump overheats and fails it could get expensive. Definitely not a do it yourself job for most.

What's a gas gauge?

We just take the the cap off and drop in the measuring stick, an inch is about two gallons.

Same as the boat but we went to diesel and have a site tube. Or you can just knock on the drum and you learn the sound.

Why are newer cars easier to know how much fuel are in them? Don't electonics lie? It does seem many are carrying around bicycles as a spare I guess?

Who would buy a vehicle with the fuel pump in the tank, bwahaha. A thousand bucks for a new fuel pump [gas], what a generation.

The gauge on the front showing F to E. I didn't want to pull over to find out where I was at physically since I didn't want to get stuck, and figured leaving it on cruise control would get the most out of what's left.

on my '94 Dodge Pickup I have to use the trip odometer to tell me if I need gas or not. Of course sometimes you forget to set it, but fortunately this error says to you, you need gas when you don't. It [the trip odometer in this error] can't tell you that you don't need gas when you do [unless you are a real idiot]. If I make the error, I drive it for a few errands and fill up again, then reset the trip odometer..

PS: Reason being of course, that the fuel gauge does not work.

I think it is known for having some gas pumps, and being the place where you hang a left (from LV) to enter Death Valley. Probably some hungry coyotes in the hills. Sounds like an excellent place to run out of gas. Or correct a mistake in "3 a.m. Las Vegas type judgement" by losing an annoying companion using the commode at the filling station.

Same as always, F250 4x. The new one I'm driving is a '94 had to leave the last one [1980] up North.

No insults intended, just making fun.

The salt spray was so bad up north the pick-ups often break right behind the cab so people get their frames spliced back together. Also the fuel tanks rot out and there is all manner of replacement beds and fuel reservoirs. Old beer kegs, whatever. Often the new tank has no measure of fullness.

Ironically the two worst vehicles for breaking in two were Ford pickups and toyota pickups, we had both.

Fair enough. I know that it's time to fill up when my power cuts out around turn 1. It's fun; makes sure you are paying attention. Luckily my car is not too bad for this; I know people who get it when they are down to a quarter tank.

The '80 had 2 tanks, I always filled both and never cared when one ran out as I could reach down and switch tanks with the toggle on the dash. It would pick up and restart at anything over about 30 mph, [or whatever it is to push start an automatic, I don't recall] any slower it would start easily hitting the key. I did this partially to always theoretically keep the tanks clean by sucking that last little bit through the lines and filters [which I kept spares of].

This new rig '94 is a diesel. The fuel gauge is a lying son of a bitch. And, I don't dare run it out of fuel, it just isn't the same trying to restart this thing with air in the lines. Another one of Fords supposedly "better ideas", it has two tanks. I think the newer ones either have one very large tank or a transfer switch like a small airplane. Those are good ideas. I can't use all my fuel. I think one tank is 20 and the other is 18? That would give me a theo range of around 700 miles. Knowing it lies all the time at least to the good side, I always have more then it says. I can't use it all like the old one. Once it gets down to the "red" warning it is due to be switched and then on to the next tank and looking for a fillup too soon. That really sucks on long runs not being able to use the effective range. I also wonder about the build up of sludge in the tank which didn't use to affect me.

I ran out of gas on the Golden Gate bridge in 1977.
My idiot partner was the cheapest guy who ever
lived and never put more than $2 of gas in his VW.
We were on our way into city and ran out on the
middle of the bridge. The bridge police were furious
with him that anybody could be that stupid. They had
a 1 gal can of gas that cost $5 and my friend screamed
like a little girl, gas was .65 a gallon then. They told
him that, or a $75 tow truck. He mentioned his outrage
for months afterwards at how he was ripped off. He
never thought once that it was his fault.

Warning, the video includes the kind of colorful language that you may like to pretend your kids don't already know.



That was painfully, ridiculously funny.

My fellow Americans, I come before you tonight to inform you that the nation is facing a serious problem: We have way too much time on our hands for our own good.

Is there anyone else that is totally fed up with this ridiculous ice bucket crap? I have 1000 friends on facebook because of games. This morning I opened it up and the first 14 posts were related to the ice bucket. If you want to donate then donate, if not then don't.

I log onto facebook about once every month or two, so I have no idea what this is about.

I consider that a win.

I am proud to say that I have had my Facebook account about six years now and I have zero friends. I probably log onto it twice a year.

Kentucky Firefighters Electrocute Themselves During Ice Bucket Challenge
Quote: Associated Press

A charity stunt that has grown into a social media phenomenon went terribly wrong for four Kentucky firefighters when a fire truck's ladder got too close to a power line after they dumped water on college students who were taking part in an "ice bucket challenge."

I would pay to see this quote put up as an official approved testimonial/endorsement by Facebook Corp.

(how much I would pay -- well maybe not much, but something between $1 and some higher amount)

wow, all these people came close to being electrocuted! Close call it would seem.

I watched a compilation of ice bucket fails. I was kind of sickened reading a comment someone was killed in one of them but it didn't say which one. Something I definitely don't want to laugh at and it's probably too common with these things unknown to viewers assumedly thinking everything was ok. Personally the thing is stupid but ok if the money donated actually does any good. So much goes to the hostage takers CEOs running these organizations, so God bless them doing all the hard work, traveling, going to galas for only a million or half a million a year. This type of event/cause will continue but How nobody knows.

That might be a valid argument however no one wit an ounce of credit are among the wised up masses either. Not the most educated authorities or anyone legit. Even out own respected Wizard. Only the big food crowd believe in such nonsense.

Bob have you ever tried to contact anyone from this or any forum about your roulette system? Either tried to have them bet it, or sell it, it to them or make a deal of some kind?
