We all have essentially the same answer.

How did a non-ex-redditor get here?

Three. One from work, one personal, one throwaway.

I've done a lot of this.

One thing to remember is that the things you look back on fondly will be the most frustrating and painful in the moment. Try to keep that in mind when things go sideways. Nobody remembers the times when everything went perfectly.

That said, my fiancee and I have developed a set of travel ideals to keep us both from feeling like hobos.

Two nights, minimum. We try not to spend single nights anywhere. It isn't worth it. We don't end up with enough time to see anything. The big exception can be first and last-day hotels.

Four nights after three shorter stops. We need the extra day to crash and/or do laundry, etc.

Try to spend (at least) a full week somewhere. We both really enjoy the simple process of learning to live somewhere. Learning the transportation system, buying groceries, etc.

No Airbnb for less than a week. The hassle and uncertainty of getting situated isn't worth the trouble.

Depending on distance and timing, it can be worth it to double-book the last night at an airport hotel. The last mad rush to get checked out of an apartment, and get to the airport on time isn't ever fun, especially somewhere like CDG in Paris. It can be really nice to just remove that stress from the equation.

I hope you have a fantastic trip!

Blood pressure is the real reason I started.

I never had to before, always had reasonably active jobs. Supervisor role and middle age and a scolding from my doctor has made a difference.

I've been giving myself 20 minutes a day for the last six weeks. I haven't really lost weight, but I do feel better.

With sautéeing, the heat is being transferred from the pan to the food, with the thin layer of oil serving to increase the contact area and prevent sticking. It's a low-fat cooking method.

With pan frying, it's the hot oil that's doing the cooking, with the pan heating the oil, not the food directly.

Stay the hell on the train. Observe what happens to other passengers when they get curious.

Why is that?

If I have the choice between composting or recycling paper, would it not be better to recycle than compost?

I'm not saying it'll happen lol. Just that it would be the intelligent thing to do.

If Seoul ever wants to chip away at their demographic time bomb, they desperately need to fall in line with these demands.

If that image was posted in an AI community, I wouldn't even notice it was real.

I also bring cuticle nippers to work. I hate that moment when I realize that I'm going to be screwing with a hangnail for the next 7 hours.

They do that in small towns on tourist thoroughfares. They know you can't come back to fight it. I'm a 10-15+ driver normally, but out in the sticks, I try to keep it to +9.

Exactly. I used to register my off hand, as that was a little less likely to get damaged.

That's exactly why I'd hope an ultrasound would ignore things like color difference. I wouldn't expect it to ignore cuts without an ai component.

Thank God it allows for more than one finger. I used to start running low on undamaged prints!

I solved the problem by getting a better job, but at the time, it wouldn't have helped. Same problem. Swimming in motor oil.

If you thought my hands were dirty...

I used to work on diesel engines. I'd end up with different looking fingerprints all the time from grease, oil random little cuts, etc. I'd hope this tech is better able to discern fingerprints from noise. It was a little annoying.

I was eating Pizza at Amici in San Rafael, CA when news came across that Princess Diana died. Someone at the table said we'd all remember that moment for the rest of our lives. It's been true me.
