  • It's pretty interesting to see how people give and interpret ratings in the US vs. Asia for example. In the US it seems like less than a mid-four is a gamble, in Japan you get some great restaurants hanging around at 3.0+. The reviews will say like "Everything was perfect great food, 3 stars".

  • Iceland is quite beautiful, I didn't camp but I recall the park areas being quite fierce about not venturing off of walking paths to protect sensitive things like moss that take forever to grow. That may be a reason why they don't allow dispersed camping. I'd say still go, it was beautiful in the winter and I didn't find it too crowded or unbearably cold.

  • Pretty sure the article is satire. Here's something similar from Snopes. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/cassidy-boon-drowning/

    From the original article: "I could have died peacefully, but now I am living a nightmare; I was sexually assaulted in broad daylight by the only person who was sober at the party; what are the chances?.”

  • I was new to a school and decided to skip class with a bunch of classmates I barely knew. One guy goes to the bathroom and comes back and stands right behind me. I look up and he is completely naked except for a sock on his dick hovering right above my head.

    We've been great friends for close to 18 years and I just got to meet his two kids.

  • Well it had a lock icon. You can't just make those up!

  • Weird take but definitely gonna be unpopular, haha. Does that apply to tooth whitening?

  • Thanks for the tips! Is it pretty easy to find movement specific service instructions or do you just learn to recognize parts and common build methods?

  • Once I settle down I'd love to get into full on servicing vintage watches as well.

  • Yeah so an example of throwing on aftermarket parts:

    Start with your base watch, I picked up a cheap Invicta dive watch like so https://files.catbox.moe/bnxgcp.jpg

    Slap on some aftermarket hands, bezel, faced, and sand the bracelet for a nice brushed finish. https://files.catbox.moe/mo52xw.jpg

    This is a watch restoration I was attempting. Did a poor job but learned quite a bit. https://files.catbox.moe/9bv3pa.jpg https://files.catbox.moe/2kwaka.jpg

    If you're interested, check out /r/seikomods. Reddit has a pretty awesome community for it.

  • It could be a lot of things ranging from state threat actors looking for a toehold into a network or to cost the government time and resources or people doing it for the lulz.

  • Not too quirky or obscure but I really just like to fix shit. Clocks, washing machines, cars, crooked door, hole in a sweater, electronics... Nothing is outside of my interest.

    On the more obscure side I like to fiddle with wrist watches by adding aftermarket parts and modifying their overall look.

  • You'd hate a lot of bathrooms in Asia, the majority of them are wet baths.

  • A post touting rural and suburban North Korea as a capitalist-free, pedestrian friendly utopia full of happy people.

  • It depends entirely on the bug and moreso the seasoning. I've eaten my share of ants and crickets in Mexico and South East Asia and the taste can vary wildly. I recall tasting the seasoning more than any buggy flavor.

    On a side note, raw goat blood soup tastes exactly like you think it would... never again.

  • Same, but man some of the snacks there are crazy strong with the lime and chili seasoning.

  • I suppose this thread is full of clean eating herbivores and I'm the only one that enjoys a packet of chips or cheese.

  • I saw this while in Mexico and really liked the idea. I was then immediately bummed out when realizing almost everything had that label on it and buying food without excess sugar and salt was a lot trickier.

  • I got about a month on a disposable safety razor, but I don't have much to shave.

  • A friend had this mantra of "You do you." that I've really embraced. Stop giving a shit about the things you don't agree with or views other people are into. I'm not looking to change minds, just being personally receptive and open is enough for me.
