I worked at a golf course in Florida in college. People would come from much hotter places and start out walking. After 9 holes (or less) they were begging for a cart.

Internet says to touch the screws on a light switch panel.

Super reasonable! I'm not out until 2 every night, but I was excited to go see some great live music and we were home by 1230. My kids rarely drink - they learned lessons in their 20s that i didn't learn until my 40s. I've shifted more towards cannabis, especially during the week - better sleep and no hangover.

We need the funk

Maybe it could have been stated differently but there is a lot of 'gaslighting' and 'feeling triggered' that seems to occur. Is there a decreased perseverance or resilience? I think grit is the word they use when they compare US schools to those in Finland.

Depends on where you are and what you want. In Texas, you can get a beer in a small bar for $4-5, especially during happy hour. Hard to find a burger delivered to your table for less than $10. Fries and non-alcoholic beverages have become surprisingly expensive. Fries can easily be $5-7. Restaurants have gone over the top on portions - half pound burger on a giant bun and a bucket of fries for $20. They sell more, charge more, and half of it goes to the trash.

Me? 50ish. Usually sleep around 11 to 630. I work with kids so i have to be alive, awake, alert, and enthusiastic.

I do usually check the restaurant website first to see if they have their own system or just link to dd, etc. Need to start doing the call in/pick up.

It has really reduced the 'what do you want for dinner' arguments.

I'm not saying that's why we started tipping. During COVID we started really overdoing it.

There's plenty of fancy nightlife here, but i really love going to a dive bar with a local band! Most of our nearby colleges have drama programs and sometimes we find free late night programs at museums.

If we have a show or something we eat early, or sometimes go to happy hour and eat there. Normally, we come home, talk to the animals, have a drink, and decide what to eat. We have an agreement that if we say NO to 5 restaurants, we're having for tacos. All of that usually occurs between 6 and 7 with dinner around 8ish.

I feel like just going for a walk or a drive or to sit on a patio for a coffee is so refreshing and helps me distance from the news of the day.

So so glad i grew up without social media!! My bad decisions would be meme warnings for future generations.

I agree with that. The best thing to come from the early-ending shows is less waiting. Remember the old days of standing for an hour between bands and the headliner started at midnight?

We doordash or order from the restaurant more than going out because of the tip and restaurant alcohol costs.

Like to do something else afterwards? Maybe that's it.

Yeah, many places that shortened hours during covid have not resumed their BC hours.

I work in schools. It's like a wildfire right now.
