    Movies that clearly show how New York used to be (?)

    I'm 30 yrs old and never even visited NYC before 2000. For you old timers, how was it, really? I'm really interested in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, before it was Giulianid, before air conditioning, before gentrification, etc... Probably the most striking images in my mind are from Taxi Driver.

    Can I braise a London Broil?

    Bought a London Broil from the supermarket, probably a mistake. I wanted a shoulder roast to braise but they wouldn't cut a shoulder to less than 5 lbs, and I just said "eh whatever, give me that". Can I braise this? A lot of anecdotes online say it will only get tougher. What if I braise for 4...

    Where does DC, NoVA, MD wealth come from?

    I'm a fairly new transplant here and I'm shocked that these halfway-to-hicksvilles have something like 5 of the top 10 wealthiest counties in America. At first I presumed it was the lawyers, but honestly it never made sense to me. Someone told me it was from AOL's heyday and these same...

    Sore back from nightly sleep, but not from long naps?

    Any clues why I would have a sore back from a normal night of sleep? When I work an odd schedule and then sleep for 2-4 hours during the day, I feel totally fine. I feel like I get better sleep during these naps as well.

    Movie with giant earthworms (NOT Tremors)?

    There was a movie I saw on TV as a child (I was a child in the early 80s), the premise had something to do with a radioactive accident or similar, one of the results was that there were giant earthworms or caterpillars around town. I don't believe they were attacking as in Tremors, but I could...
