  • Seconding the above, I want to say I paid $60 in a pretty average city.

    The store I went to is called Jos-a-bank, feel free to look them up but any higher end men’s fine clothing store should have a tailor on site at all times.

    There are also dedicated tailor shops you can try looking for one of those.

    I don’t think places like dillards or Macy’s will do alterations but I could be wrong.

    Worst case the place you go may tell you something like “he only works Tuesdays and Saturdays” or something like that, so you may want to keep trying to get them on the phone, but I’ve not been told that before.






  • What are you expecting to have them send you? A link to a paper proving that having empathy for fellow humans means you are not conservative?

    Bro. Just like, think about it.

    OPs talking points align nearly perfectly with normal progressive talking points.

    Increase high density housing.
    Increase public transport.
    Public safety net (housing for the homeless).
    Redistribution of wealth.

    What it likely boils down to are the two conservative talking points they have left, guns and reproductive rights.

    If OP truly feels that abortion is murder and believes in his heart that he has the right to dictate his own personal beliefs on others, and / or has fallen for the lie that the left is going to take their guns away (they won’t), they will vote Republican despite everything else pointing to the logical choice being a progressive Democrat.

    Edit:
    I feel I need to mention that just because I (a man) personally cannot imagine a scenario in which I would need to get an abortion (because I lack ovaries), and my current life situation is such that I don’t forsee my partner requiring one, I still will vote to protect women’s right to bodily autonomy. I strongly believe that I have no right to even participate in the discussion. My opinion is literally worthless, and I don’t have to live with the consequences of my vote.

    That being said, I take the position of provide access to abortion but also provide services to women to try and decrease the need for abortion. I also am in favor of providing free healthcare to pregnant women and children of families in need of it, and I believe childcare should be subsidized.

    Sorry, I just meant that the jasmine rice we get in the US seems different than the stuff you get in a more authentic asian restaurant, but this could be due to many factors. I do realize that jasmine rice was not invented in the US though.

    I’ve heard both sticky rice and sushi rice used interchangeably, I’m not sure if one is more correct than the other.

    Long grain is American style rice, like uncle bens for example. It’s creamier than jasmine rice, but not quite as much as arborio rice which is the stuff you need to make (Italian) risotto.

    Jasmine rice is an American version of a standard Chinese style rice used for stir fry. It usually works well for most American style Asian dishes.

    You’ll also see sticky rice which is Japanese rice used for sushi.

    Lastly Basmati rice is Indian rice and is characterized by not being creamy at all. You can pick out individual grains quite easily. To me, Basmati rice on a plate acts like 1000 individual items you have to eat rather than like long grain or arborio rice where a big scoop of it feels like 1 single thing you are taking bites of. It really is necessary for authentic Indian food though.
