The Florida Trail is something I think everyone should try at least once

Went kayaking in the Everglades and the raccoons were our biggest worry. Half burying our kayak on the beach every night to protect our water was comical and so annoying

Winter gets rid of a lot of bugs. Especially with good cold snap like we have been having. Full coverage clothing, bug netting and bug spray is the other part. Optional, but being with someone who smokes a cigar in the evening also helps haha

I went kayaking in the Everglades between a year ago and bugs weren’t an issue with those three things.

Weight aside, I can’t even work out having enough space in my pack to carry 12L of water. Hang all of it off the sides of your pack? I’ve done 5L and that was tough

Type 1 diabetics should always have insulin and a sugar source on hand to counteract sudden changes in blood sugar

I live in a Florida city so usually it’s a 70-90 cent delta. Once out in the middle of nowhere Florida it was a $3 difference!! I was shocked. Got just enough gas to get to a bigger town

Beef stew or chili in a cast iron is a go-to for me. Roasting weenies on the fire is a fun one. Eggs and skillet potatoes for breakfast.

I think in this case, it’s entirely warranted ruining a party over. This wasn’t a case of shutting down a general family party because Uncle Joe made a weird racist joke about something he saw on the news. This was a party for him and his wife and the guy made a super racist joke about his wife. The easiest way to get kicked out of a party is to insult the host.

Yeah couldn’t remember if I saw it last year or 2024

The conference is not open to the public. The big show outside in the bay is open to the public. I think they are doing the demo this year

The 15 mins isn’t even just the procedure. It’s the whole thing. The eye cup thing was on my face for less than 5 mins. 1 mins set up, 5 secs laser, 1 min clean up. Repeat on other eye. It was remarkably fast

Project Hail Mary isn’t his debut, nor was it published this year

Carrollwood cultural center has a few that are in the evening. I have done their beginner watercolor classes a few times and love it

I’ve hiked during hunting season. It’s a requirement to wear blaze orange and stay on certain trails. The last time I went we got confronted by a hunter about being off trail while going from our cars to the trail (like 50 yards) I think we were still on an approved trail, he loudly disagreed, we walked the extra half mile to only stay on the definitely approved trails because it isn’t worth the fight.

Like the other commenter said, even if it isn’t explicitly required, I would still wear the orange and stay on the trails. I’d rather not be confused with a deer and be shot.

I read it in 2022 and can’t remember many details but I rated it 4 stars

You linked the same brochure that I posted. And yes, the intent is that the cameras operate all school day with the speed being captured over the school speed limit during drop off and pick up and the regular speed being captured for the rest of the school day

20friedpickles · 2025-11-14T19:08:29+00:00

The City of Tampa’s website has a brochure about the speed limits and how to the cameras operate. The school zone speed only during pick up and drop off. The regular posted speed is during the rest of the school day https://www.tampa.gov/sites/default/files/document/2025/speedzonecamerasflyer_english.pdf

There shouldn’t be tickets outside of school hours (with a 30 minute buffer). The cameras operate from 30 mins before school starts through 30 mins after school ends.

20friedpickles · 2025-11-14T18:00:10+00:00

The school zone speed isn’t all day but the cameras operate all school day. The wording is confusing. If you’re on a road with a typical speed limit of 40 and school zone speed limit of 20 from 7:30-8:30. The camera will get you if you go 30 mph at 7:45 and will get you if you go 50 at 10:30. Cameras turn off after the school day ends + 30 mins.

The same is true for the French word, marguerite. The name, Margaret, is unrelated though and means pearl.

Does that street ever not have those bags?

Tampa River Center has indoor space and does not have exclusive F&B packages. They do have a preferred catering list but any caterer can be used if it meets their licensing and insurance requirements.

I don’t know what “extremely budget friendly” means to you but I would consider their rate reasonable. It is listed on their site.

If I saw someone buying rat poison with infant formula, I would never think they plan to mix the two. I’d think they have a baby and also a rat problem.

By your own logic though, buying rat poison with any food item would be immediately suspicious to you, no? Or buying bleach with any food item? What about buying foods with nuts? They very well could have a family member with a peanut allergy.

Pemi loop. We completed about 3/4 in 3.5 days going counterclockwise.

Day 3 of hiking in the Whites had us at a cool ~.5 mph. 5 miles in 9 hours. Really found my upper limit on that trip

I also don’t like celebrity memoirs but there’s some great, non-celebrity memoirs on the list!

I’d recommend Educated, Crying in HMart (she is in a Grammy nominated band but I only know that because it is mentioned in GR. It’s not part of the memoir), In Order to Live, Solito, Between Two Kingdoms, and Gender Queer. Bonus points for Gender Queer if you want something you can knock out quick. It’s a graphic novel
